    "And if, as weโ€™re hearing, this troika of albums fulfills Drakeโ€™s contract with UMG, it sure feels like a win-win for both parties. The artistโ€™s fabulously successful catalog is said to be remaining with Universal."

  • Like honestly... they both love music and rap. they both have goofy sense of humors. both respect eachothers pens. its kinda lame that they're beefing

    drake quite literally invented the streaming era though
    he IS the game lol

    Views wasn't even the first streaming-exclusive dog what

    Drake just helped usher in streaming by being the most popular artist to co-sign it early on

    They either skim through the music or choose to ignore these contradictions

    Yes, Kendrick Lamar is a walking contradiction, he says that on almost every album lmao

    Damn did 250k with streaming and sold 350k+ bundles with merch and or signed cdโ€™s/vinyl bundles as well. People always forget that. Its still impressive fans bought the bundles but 35$ for a shirt and a vinyl is a no brainer lol. Thats why the rules changed bc it was unfair. No one was buying the music they were buying shirts/hoodies. Back then no one understood bundles like we do now so it tricked a lot of people into believing it was a natural 600k like a 600k today would be

    Album cover will be iconic in retrospective regarding all the sales, records and overall impact

    Lot of MJ parallels too. Itโ€™s such beautiful symbolism

    And no one batted an eye at bundles back then we all just accepted the illusion it was telling lol

    It was in an era where an exclusive streaming deal ended up helping pure sales. Most people bought it instead of subscribing to Apple Music

    it's not even just that though, the momentum of that album would've been enormous

    and Drake himself was doing pop ups and showing up there

    I think that's probably the last album from Drake that got a traditional rollout + promo run

    nowadays Drake is just bigger than a program, I think he does stuff like the episodes & the ice sculpture, CN Tower promo, etc because it's more fun for him and just shows his impact in real time, not really to increase sales

    Attributing all of that to shirts is extremely disingenuous though, Kendrick is arguably the most successful 2010s rapper when it comes to physical albums, his fans love buying physicals

  • Yung Angel

    Drake is baiting Kendrick with all these shots. The boy has one in the chamber for when midget man finally responds

    he is prepared for hov and dot

    drake loves this s*** and wants to do great things if he wanted to chase numbers he could sell an unreal amount of physicals
