Totally ignored my question, so only Drake needs to justify everything but no one else.
Drake has sooo much on his jacket that yes it needs to be addressed. Some of that stuff is radioactive in our current political context.
He should address why this pedo thing exists for better and for worse.
I do not believe he's a pedophile but it doesn't help that he never addresses it in a serious and proper manner that properly contextualizes his relationships with younger women.
A manner that actually showcases the humanity of those relationships and really proves the bonds of those relationships was more than the lurid rumors.
I think he should address the deadbeat allegations.
I do not believe he's an absent father. Once again, I do believe he has the writing chops to do this in a way that properly contextualizes the relationship. He does this on Lemon Pepper Freestyle.
I believe he needs to address some of his claims from the beef.
You have to remember that after the beef came a sort of Cold War in hip-hop.
There's a subtle PR war that is being fought as to whose version of events was more truthful between both artists.
A follow up album is crucial to burnishing whatever case you think you have in that aspect. Remember Wacked Out Murals and Kendrick alleging that Drake offered payments in crypto for info?
These things foster a media atmosphere that still views Drake as an aggressor of sorts in that back and forth. We have to remember there's large sections of the public that take Meet the Grahams as a documentary.
Drake made claims of his own that were of questionable accuracy. He largely has failed to burnish any of his claims. The botting claims don't have a smoking gun. Neither does the DV or the Keem ghostwriting. In fact, the one credulous claim of Drake's that is most compelling is the one that he fed Kendrick info on a fake daughter.
Shouldn't Drake have more clearcut evidence of this? He should be able to give us more detail on this operation. It's never forthcoming despite that.
This leaves us in weird place where Kendrick's claims are mostly viewed as spot on and Drake's all get viewed as fiction. This means that Drake is fighting a perception battle that he's refusing to actually compete in.
This isn't the best atmosphere to release music in because people's dislike of you will affect opinions of the music. They'll glean different interpretations of his words because of their different internal narrative of his actions.
He's hustling backwards.

Dam I didn’t realize that song was popping like that
i mean it's the intro to the most hyped album of the past few years
it was all but guaranteed to go #1 unless another of these songs became an instant runaway hit
Dam I didn’t realize that song was popping like that
It broke NLU’s record for most streamed hiphop song ever in a single day. Granted it’s because it’s the first song off the album but still crazy
Just very unserious predictions. If he dropped one album, the numbers would very spooky.
0 hype.
Nobody in real life knows about ICEMAN.
Just this thread and twitter.
Drake? In 2026? #1? Imagine.
He really delivered. Almost 20 years in the game and he's still got it. Soooo much to dig in to we're eating good
+500k?
they said less than 300k
they said only this thread was hyping up the release
Just very unserious predictions. If he dropped one album, the numbers would very spooky.
Or if he had all these songs combined on one album with physicals too. It would’ve been a milli first week

yeah okay whatever
goal posts stay moving for Drake like always
Mfs were mocking the idea of drake and Pluto linking up again. Where they at?
Still here, Drake still lame for linking with the guy that set off the beef giving him his biggest L
Doesn’t help that ran to Atlanta is one of the weaker songs on the album (not trash but def not top 5)
would you rather be looked as a prophet or the old guy in the club.
DRAKE literally proves every prophecy has its timing of fulfilment
which is crazy because it's like he purposely fallen for the traps
Fammm. Everyday niggas are pulling out old lyrics from the Kendrick disses like they're a legit character study. Guys can't see this s***.
