DRAKE DIDN'T REALLY BECOME NO. 1 UNTIL 2013

[Sad Bunny]

Once he dropped started from the bottom it was over.

Before that Ross and weezy were still no. 1 and had more impact.

But drake has been at the top since then.

He was number one after Take Care dropped and his streak of features in 2012 (Poetic Justice, Stay Schemin', No Lie, etc.) solidified his spot...

Idk. People were still making jokes on him and he songs were top 10 billboard status as they are now.

Marvin's room barely hit top 20 and that's a goat ass song.

I could agree with OP

that pound cake jawn had everyone free styling over it from Rae to Cam lol

Blu is number one.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

In 2012 Wayne dropped that IANAHB2 nonsense and got outsold by J. Cole, forget Drake or Kendrick making him irrelevant.

Ross was not even a factor.

your idol is washed up go away, you made me backup drake

The Throne, Wayne, Ross and you can even argue The Weeknd were the topics of conversation in 2011.

Take Care dropped in like November right which is end year early year 2012 anyway. Did his 1st week even outsell WTT's ?

Drake really started his ascension to "the man" when Stay Schemin dropped.

Take Care sold 631,000 first week, Watch The Throne did 436,000.

Ross wasn't bigger than Drake in 2011, around my way Meek was getting more bump than Ross with the release of the DC1 tape. Ross had 2010 on fire with B.M.F. single.

In 2011 nikkas was saying Wayne was riding Drake's coattails (check my thread saying C4 was underrated) and for some reason his album while commercially successful was critically panned.

A lot of nikkas didn't know who Weeknd was until Crew Love dropped, he was not in the convo and regardless he R&B.

I stand corrected then

My memory served that WTT was more of a event than Take Care in 2011. But I may be wrong , I feel alot of Drake's hype for that album came after it dropped tho.

I dont remember Headlines having such a big impact in the streets. And Proud Of You damn near flopping before the album dropped.

Nah, Headlines was huge. The whole "drink to my accomplishments, overdosed on confidence" shyt you put that on and I bet nikkas will recite it. The single is triple Plat.

The Take Care single with Rihanna was killing the pop charts I think that was his highest charting single before Hotline Bling/One Dance. Crew Love was huge, Drake became the social media/meme rapper with Motto and the whole Y.O.L.O. shyt. That summer 2012 I vividly recall The Motto, Im On One and French Shot Caller running shyt in NY.
