This was bad look for Drake
But how can that be the case when half his run has been R&B/pop?

The Keke song
And you’re revising history. Drake was not dominant in 2009. Definitely not 2010 when his first album was considered disappointing. Even in 2011 there were other rappers on his level. Nicki, Jay, Kanye, Wayne. Kendrick was there in 2012.
2013 and on I could see. Nicki, Jay, Kanye and Wayne were all either flopping or fading.
2017 Kendrick was either bigger or on Drske’s level.
This speaks volumes about Drake's character and show's why he really is an outsider of the culture
Not to mention all his woman simping, being from Toronto/Memphis/London/Houston/Kingston/Dublin, the accompanying flip-flopping accents, goofy antics at public sporting events, not writing his music, etc. Why so many people allow him to cook and go unchecked is beyond me and it really shows me how the climate of society has changed![]()
It did it’s damage that’s all.
How could "The Story Of Adidon" be as big as "Back To Back" when one was available to purchase/stream....and one never was?![]()
Hell, all of the diss records being mentioned in this thread were either album cuts, or commercially released. Except "TSOA".
And "people stopped playing 'The Story Of Adidon' after a few weeks" is an especially bizarre hot take coming from a West coast poster, considering this was 2 months ago:
He still talkin bout it but on the coli these aubrey stans will say it "came and went".. in Drake's mind it's been playin all day![]()
You are joking right? This is is kind of embarassing coming from a guy who has been online as long as you have....
You can RIP it from any number of sources. MANY DJs have been doing this for years when songs weren't 'sold' for everyone to get. Tons of mixtapes would rip freestyles from Wake Up Show and other mix shows. None of those were 'sold to the public' yet people still played it. They recorded it off the radio then can rip it from YouTube now.
The number 1 platform on the Internet, YouTube, has the song up hundreds of times with some with hundreds of thousands of reviews. You do not need to be able to download a song to hear it or play it.
How is it a bizarre hot take? I am from LA, not Oakland. So what a basketball player is playing up north doesn't apply to LA. HOWEVER....
You are the KING of finding links and not putting things into context when you link. You did it when you lied about how much a double album costs when defending the double counting bullshyt. Why were they playing this? Because they were playing the RAPTORS where DRAKE is a SPOKESPERSON. They didn't play it because its a hot song.
Drake needs to start transitioning back into acting before he gets too old. He's already using Black Ice for his bald spot and his features ain't hitting like they used to. Something tells me the rap world will get cruel with him after he no longer makes yearly hits. It's obvious he will be a "old nikka" in rap in the 2020s, these youngsters ain't gonna be fukking with like that.
Deadbeat mutha fukka playing border patrolYou are HIDING a child
Everybody remembers THAT shyt
Y’all nikkas delusional af.
What damage?
Breh just put out an album of unreleased shyt, had a few features, put out a couple loosies and dominated the summer.
The only people that think like you are people that didn’t fukk with him to begin with.
Sorry but you lostYou may want to revisit that thread because the main person arguing with me (don't remember who, the guy that worked at the record store) finally admitted double CDs could go all the way up to damn near $30.
You said "it should've been bigger than 'Back To Back'"....based on what? "B2B" charted at like #25 on the Billboard Hot 100....so what criteria are you talking about when you say "bigger"? Rips off Youtube don't count towards anything. It's not going to be played on the radio....or streamed in any quantifiable way....it can't be bought....but you want enough people to rip if off a website, that it rivals the popularity of commercially available diss records?
Which is obviously never doing to happen. So bigger just means you personally hearing it?
Hate to break it to you, but that don't mean shyt. Go make a poll asking people do they regularly hear any diss records being played anywhere on the West coast, and I guarantee the answer is no. Hell, do it for any region. "Ether" was 100x bigger than "TSOA" and the average hip-hop fan isn't playing it regularly in 2019. Hell, I consider "No Vaseline" the GOAT diss record and can't remember the last time I played it.
