    Statistically it could end up being someone most people joke about a lot like Russ

    Drake won’t have a successor he even said he’s not looking for one in that interview, but he has influenced a lot of rappers and R&B singers male and female as well as helped shine his bright light on to other artists with significantly smaller audiences.

    Russ definitely not gonna be the one to get the torch directly from drake

    Wonder if anyone on this site would hate drake if his popularity dipped after NWTS.

    I’m guessing not.

    theyd prob like him more and write essays about how hes underrated

    drake stannery would probably be 1000x worse if his career dipped after that. Cuz NWTS and TC are mid projects but they’ll keep holding onto them like they’re classics and that drake is a GOAT when he’s just not even good lol

    Last 5 years have kinda made it easier to hate on Drake but I really just see these last 5 years as the clear flaws he had in his music IYRTITL and before, just without any redeeming values now

    The better question is: what are the GOAT standards moving forward? As consumption and marketing changes?

    We’re in a new era and we should start to see those new stars settled in about a year, so whoever will dominate will be who can fit those new standards for what a mainstream rapper ‘should’ be, just as Drake fit those standards in a post-Grad/Carter III world when he first came in

    It’s hard to see right now cause it hasn’t really started so we don’t have the benefit of hindsight

    also the industry is wayyy more decentralized than it was back then

    I can’t imagine it. None of these other dudes got it like drake. Musically or just strategically.

    Why do yall say strategic.

    Whether you like his music or not he’s the face of rap. I’m wondering who takes the reign and whether Hip hop will seem more watered down without such a self aware figure

    Hes the reason it got watered down

    Views was the beginning of the end
