Aubs = Netflix of Music

• Bloomberg

Do yall still actually pay for and use f***ing Netflix?

F*** Netflix

You tweaking Dust is one of the best songs flow is ridiculous on there

But yeah I’d go Little birdie and Don’t Worry. Not bad songs at all but I don’t think they are as incredible as the rest of the album. I feel like those songs could’ve been on any other Drake album this decade. And Drake’s performances on those songs are good but not otherworldly like the rest of the album

ok gramps what is up with you

netflix docs are elite

What are their backing points to make this comparison?

Agree with Jim, insulting. People need to stop equating popularity in music to slop or low effort, "oh he's the McDonalds of rap"

An album full of Make Them tracks, whether you enjoy them or not, is simply not the same as Netflix paying f***ing Charlize Theron to run around the woods for an hour, or Chris Hemsworth to shoot guns with minimal writing and storyline. Awful comparison.

Perfect for folding laundry to!

is your issue just with netflix or video streaming also

Mainly Netflix as they’ve been extremely open about making things for viewers to “second screen” to

Fantano panned the only album that has ever mattered, I could never forgive such a nefarious action

caring about a fantano review is a more severe nefarious action

He exposed himself by giving drake that rating

Summary

Drake’s three-album drop is a deliberate, Netflix-style rejection of old music industry rules.

The piece argues that releasing Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti on the same day isn’t desperation or bloat, but a flex of power and a strategic break from traditional metrics like critic reviews, Grammys, and classic “album” expectations.

It traces how Drake’s been moving this way for years. Since So Far Gone, he’s blended rap and R&B into one persona, then expanded into afrobeats, dancehall, UK rap, and more. Projects like Views and especially More Life — framed as a “playlist” — turned him into a platform-like entity who can show up on almost any Black music playlist the way Netflix shows up in film/TV.

The column’s core comparison is that Drake has become the “Netflix of hip-hop”: endless content, mixed critical reception, but massive cultural dominance. His near-constant output since 2014, his playlist logic, and his multi-genre reach mean he’s optimized for the streaming ecosystem, not for traditional album canonization.

The three new albums are positioned as a “choose your own adventure” UI on Drake’s catalog: Iceman for hard raps and anthems, Maid of Honour for dance records, Habibti for R&B-leaning Drake. Rather than stuffing all modes into one project, he modularizes them so listeners can self-select their lane.

TikTok and streaming economics are the backdrop. A song like Janice STFU going No. 1 and helping Drake pass Michael Jackson in all-time No. 1 singles, plus nine Iceman tracks debuting in the Hot 100 top 10, is presented as evidence that Drake understands the attention/playlist/fragment economy better than his critics. In short: he’s not failing the old system; he’s operating a new one.

Being compared to the mixed reviews on Netflix like the stranger things finale is definitely a choice

incorrect, netflix invented devops and is one of the top engineering teams on earth, hollywood will never compete, too old too slow, ignorant statement

What’s the cope today
