Drake scores the highest grossing tour of 2024. He made $320.5M from 80 shows in North America ALONE. Every show was sold out.

[Rembrandt]

And with less shows. Kept pointing this out which is why that whole angle doesn't make a lot of sense to me. He's not touring constantly and this with the last one followed a decent hiatus.

Meanwhile, you actually do have artists that are doing way more shows that are making far less money.

For perspective: 103 shows for $110 million vs $320 million for 80. But one is supposedly forced to do shows lol

15 years of dominance is unheard of

Why are you calling him a c00n

 

[Capitol]

Yeah but I don't play him at my house so he lost

 

[Da_Eggman]

Kendrick made 40 grand on his pop out show so he chilling

 

[Pure Water]

"Not bad Aubrey. But we can do better"

He kind of look like a white Jewish Forest Whitaker.

 

[Metal Face]

the elimination of Drake has failed

 

[RiverCity916]

How much kendricks last tour make?

This is weird

 

[GunRanger]

Maaaan, if Drake signs to himself after this deal, the possibilities are endless, but I think he knows to let them keep eating off of him because if he tries to go independent, he will lose his fanbase cuz they got something for him. Dude can generate endless money just by his name, but THEY did help him get to where he is by promotion. Either way, he'll never hurt for money again for the rest of his life.

No one can do a tour of this size without major labels. Theyre bankrolling the venue reservations and insurance. It's way too expensive to do it independently

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

...you can see how calling a vocally proud black man a c00n in a thread attempting to celebrate a half-white man who wore blackface might not be the play, right?

just doing a vibe check.

“I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it’s already a situation, mentally, where it’s f–ked up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should’ve never happened. Never. But when we don’t have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don’t start with just a rally, don’t start from looting — it starts from within.”

Kendrick Lamar Talks Ferguson: ‘What Happened Should’ve Never Happened’

As someone who grew up in Compton, Kendrick Lamar knows about tense exchanges with police officers. By his own reckoning, he was treated unjustly by the LAPD "plenty of times. All the time."

Thats all Livenation money he had to go pay back..lol

sure..

 

[Chip Skylark]

As much flack as Nicki, Travis, Drake, and 50 have gotten for the quality of their music you can’t really say it’s been bad if this many people are buying tickets for it.

You can “fake” streams but you can’t fake people spending money on shows
