Trash music dont sell....which is why "To The Max" aint on the charts:manny:

The numbers dont lie. If Drake music was trash, he wouldn't move any units at all and wouldve truly fell off already.:hubie:

Instead he 4x platinum with 26 songs, with his name attached to it, having hit the Hot 100 charts so far this year:wow:
He's got a couple of RnB songs low on the charts. He's declining it seems

No...you think it's trash. Obviously you would be in the minority in that opinion if it's a Hot 100 song

By that logic the majority is always in the right....and that's not how things work. "To The Extreme" sold 7 mill....more than any other rap release that year by a wide margin....if you tried to argue it was a good album you would've gotten laughed out of the fukking room. Success doesn't automatically = quality....it never has, never will.

If 7 million people liked Vanilla Ice's album.....a couple hundred thousand saying they disliked it dont matter when we are talking if someone was falling off.

Numbers dont lie. No way possible someone can say "Drake fell off" when he currently has 4 songs sitting on the Hot 100 which = spins...sorry breh:hubie:


Music taste is subjective, numbers aren't:yeshrug:

You're being dense just to support Drake and it's hilarious. This is like saying that suicide squad is a better movie than Malcolm x because it sold more. Everything is subjective in life, learned ears and eyes know when something isn't that great.

:dahell: No, it's not.

What it would be like is me saying that "Suicide Squad" couldn't be trash & Warner Bros Studios couldn't be considered to have fallen off if Sucide Squad made $745.6 million dollars:ufdup:

No trash movie (no trash album) would make that much money (sell that many albums/spawn that many Hot 100 songs) if it was truly trash like yall claiming it is.:forreal:

You may not like it yourself, but it doesn't mean many more people dont disagree with you, as evidenced by the high numbers supporting the product, where as if it was trash...it wouldn't sell at the high rate it did.:manny:

No matter the hype, trash movies fail at the box office (Keanu Reeves' "47 Ronin") just like trash albums flop on the charts (Lil Yachty's "Teenage Emotions"):hubie:


The fact Drake already has a 4x platinum album & 26 Hot 100 songs so far into this year, plus he just had the highest grossing hip hop tour ever, means he hasnt fallen off at all:obama:

Depends what's next and who fills the spot. With that said,he made a HUGE mistake dropping views and more life BACK TO BACK. He needed something more street,between then (IYRTITL, WATTBA) . Plus I don't think he killed any street relevant features either.

he not falling off because grown men like @..::..::.. @RichYung @WickedGames and @CrimsonTider still idolize him and dikkride the fukk out of him. So you add that to the women who still like him and he's still gonna be at the top for a while.

However, no one looks at him as a credible rapper anymore (Kenny Smith at the NBA awards:mjlol:) and kendrick has had a better year than him. Kendrick has the rap respect 6fraud secretly wanted and his stans secretly wanted to award him before he got exposed.

Its ok tho, y'all can still idolize him even after he does really fall off:wow:
You're embarrassing

The Transformers franchise would like a word with you
A good deal of people think F&F after the fifth one is overdone and trash but they still make money
Hell most comic book movies are at least polarizing and still do half a billion.

So false.

Your argument is that entertaining the masses (who by and large aren't that bright/independent thinking) automatically equals quality. It doesn't. Eminem outsells 100% of the hip-hip field every time he drops but most of us wouldn't play anything he's done post-2002. Does his guaranteed Triple Platinum, in traditional sales at that, determine his quality?

Drake will do numbers for a little while longer but it does seem that his omnipresence/dominance is waning and part of that may be because his trump card was versatility and CREDIBILITY with that versatility. On top of that fact that he isn't hungry anymore.

Kendrick and Hov have expedited this feeling also.
