Poolboy QSo you admit he’s on a downward trajectory
I’d agree he’s on a downward trajectory but it doesn’t affect his overall dominance amongst his peers.
Yes, some of the records he’s dropped this decade have not had the lasting impact as the abundance of hit records he has had last decade but the ones that did have longevity helped him to continue to remain relevant in the space. That’s all you can really ask for 15 years into your career.

Here’s another example why numbers absolutely don’t matter.
Back in 2000, Bone Thugs N Harmonys BTNH Ressurection album went 2x platinum.
Now I’ve never heard anyone ever bring that album up in my life. What does this tell you?…..numbers DONT matter

I think numbers matter way less in the streaming era than before. Way too easy to fake numbers, force number 1s. There is literally no reason to value a song selling x amount or charting a certain level in the modern era. It's all fake and stupid. Who decided how many streams = one sale?

Jul 29, 2024yup. every song since the beef came and went
Jul 29, 2024·1 replyElimination is the wrong word.
It's more like a gradual neutralising of his popularity.
His next release is bound to do great first week numbers just based of the "What does he have to say about everything?" factor. Then if the music isn't actually a return to form then I expect that album to fall down the charts like a brick.
The "elimination" of Drake is in Drakes hands. It is he who will put the nail on his own coffin or rise up out of it like The Undertaker

😂 True but the convenience of not having to cook is still there.
Jul 29, 2024Ed_loverThe notion that Drake hasn’t had a hit record in a long time is pure blasphemy.
This Decade Drake has produced the following hit records
Toosie Slide
Laugh Now Cry Later
Life is Good
Wants and Needs
Knife talk
Wait for u
Jimmy cooks
Rich Flex
First person shooter
Rich Baby Daddy.Are they on the scale of a Gods Plan, Once Dance, Hotline Bling? Of course not, because those type of records don’t come as one would think. Those records go no.1 across all formats and national territories.
It’s just that Drake was able to produce hit records at a rate we’ve never seen in music. So the music consumer is going to be a sense of entitlement.
