According to you, everybody thought Drake's career was in danger.

The rest of the world says otherwise
Drake discography - Wikipedia
His career was in danger but that doesn’t mean it was on life support. Up until the release of Take Care Drake had three mixtapes and one mediocre album. You think you gonna stay hot if you don’t come up with an exceptional sophomore?

you stans :snoop:

you need to have released several hot albums and weak ones to be on life support. Kanye is on life support right now. Next joint needs to be like his four first ones to recoup

In danger and life support is the same thing :mjlol: you do not need 7-8 albs for your semantics.

I haven't fukked with Drake since 2015 but you're calling me a Stan because I'm giving you facts. His 2010 and 2011 track record is not that of a rapper with a career dangling in the wind in whatever way you want to phrase it. Period.

Period :russ: ain’t no period after your bullshyt

I’ve given you facts and all you typed up is your imagined Drake history. How come his debut only sold 400k first week and his second LP 700k :sas2: could it be that the singles he released for Take Care popped a lot more than the BS on TML?

It’s called leveling up. It’s progression. He gained a lot more fans off Thank Me Later and then he released his best work in Take Care with a better aesthetic, bigger features, and more budget.

Find Your Love, Over, Fancy, Miss Me were huge records. Who the fukk sells 400K off a debut album. :dead:

The revisionist history that this was some trash album that almost ruined his career is comical lmaooo.

I gave you a page with all his singles through out 2010-11 and you talking about facts because YOU didn't like an album. Show me another endangered artist with that many Top 40 and Platinum singles in a year.

Nobody liked that album :russ: how often do you hear people bring that shyt up? Sheeeit it’s probably the worst drake album. Nobody talks about it but people still talk about Take Care.

Thank Me Later is weak and average at best. And that’s the general consensus. I’m sorry if it hurts your feeling.

And :russ: you getting so mad you had to neg me :russ::russ:

Most people knew it wasn't SFG, which I've acknowledged, but fukked with it enough to be one of the 3-4 biggest artist in the genre. Even those who called it light in real.time still could name 5-6 tracks they fukked with. It started getting shytted on when he created better albums later.

I negged you for passing hyperbole as fact when actual facts are presented to you and still doubling down. The game would be probably be better without Drake playing characters for a career and allowing character-playing to surpass authenticity in hip-hop but it is what it is. Nobody saw his career as endangered between June 2010 and November 2011 but you and whoever you were around.
