, you realize Drake's been apart of more multi-Platinum selling singles than some of the guys in the OP. :francis:

Weird. So his sales are effected because of this digital age? And his numbers ones are too? But you'll give him credit for having a lot of multi-platinum singles even though he benefits from singles being digitally available now and easily accessible, compared to back in the day? :mjlol:

Op your argument is off....Youre saying Drake is hype because white people havent given him a #1. I noticed you forget to mention Nas dont have a number 1.....so because white people havent given Nas a #1 we are supposed to dismiss Nas aswell? KRS, Rakim, Kane....Ice Cube....None of them have #1s. Your argument is off homie.
Different criteria. I never hear Nas, Kane, or Cube fans go on and on about how much their guy controls the radio. How everything sounds like Cube ft Cube, or how their throwaways get so much play. I hear those fans talking about the music. illMATIC, D.C and other great albums and classics. Drizzy fans always talk about his commercial success so its relevant for him, plus he doesn't have any classic so sales are normally what his stans go to. How much they hear Drake when they ride around. How everybody is fukking with that sound :wow:

So do sales/radio play matter or not?

Yet again @ModernFonzie can't get Drake off his mind :russ:

This is a serious question breh: What did Drake do to you? At what point did you go from attending So Far Gone parties to mentioning Drake's name any chance you get? :patrice:

Some Drake haters stick to posting once in a Drake thread to say they don't like him. You, on the other hand, STAY in Drake threads making multiple posts, make threads about Drake, and even bring Drake up when discussing Kendrick and Cole.

What happened breh?

I never attended an SFG party, don't even know that is. Also, I'm a fan of his music. Clearly.

But no deflections breh. What's good with son having no #1s.

So it's cool to blow him on forums, but the second I say something negative it has to be personal? :mjpls:

First Drake does have a #1 single. He was featured in the #1 Rihanna hit "What's My Name". But after that, nothing. Isn't it odd for a Guy that's Dominating radio and the Rap and RnB charts that he can't get a #1 single? As the O/P stated, T.I. has more, Nelly has more, 50 Has more, Luda has more and even Ja has more. Now in Drake's defense, he has had 13 Top 10 Singles. That's not bad at all. But of those 13, only 4 went Top 5 and only 1 was #1. So again for all that Dominance, the fact that he can't have a US WIDE #1 single is kinda funny. It shows that yes Drake does well on the charts but he hasn't that that huge #1 that people will remember yet. Sure he has plenty of singles that will be remembered. But I always found that stat about Drake funny.

:laugh: My bad, I saw that in @ISOMELO post and ran with it :manny:

I didn't answer the thread cuz I ain't caught up in all this who sold more, who got more #1s, etc. But I do agree it's odd someone in Drake's position has no #1s. Then again, Jay didn't have a #1 single until Empire State of Mind, so it's still possible for Drake. It all depends if he can follow Jay's path and be that guy who is always one of the top dogs, even when he isn't THE top dog. But with the fast food style music industry these days anything could happen. :ehh:

I only put #1s that artists had being the lead. Which is why I didn't put E.T by Katy Perry and Ye, which went #1.

What's My Name is Rihanna's song and that goes #1 with or without him. Seeing as Rihanna has a bunch on her own.

It's just a weird stat to have as you said. And like I said, all his songs going straight to radio because of how popular he is might be a gift and a curse. Gift because people are always going to hear him. Curse because it's hard to decide what needs to be higher because it's all there, and it's hard to tell what's even good.

I can probably make the argument that he's NOT a hit maker. A hit maker with all the buzz that Drake has had, would have multiple number ones by now. MJ was a hit maker. Nelly was a hit maker he made that "just A Dream" shyt at the tail end of his career, and it's still charted higher than every Drake song since Best I Ever Had. :francis:

Drakes hits are a direct result of his popularity, if not he'd have number ones. :beli:

People listen because it's Drake, and not Because the songs are great.

This probably means that his falloff will be epic. Im not sure if he can make a hit without being the hottest in the game. What happens when his songs aren't automatically going to radio?

Basically u created this thread to stir Drake fans u dont have a real point to prove. Your argumentis is still off. Rappers have been bragging since day 1. Cash Money all over radio and Drakes throwbacks getting rotation isnt bragging...its facts. Kane Nas Cube and Drake.....none have had billboard #1s yet all have bragged about their success. Why single out Drake who is just following tradition?...Dont answer that..I already know why...as I said in the first line you just wanted to stir Drake fans up.

No he's definitely a Hit Maker. But you have to analyze the "Hits". Honestly most of Drake's #1's are features. It's not like he's going #1 on the Hip Hop and RnB charts on all solo tracks. He just added two #1's by being featured on two Nicki singles. But you don't have 13 Top 10 hits and not be a hitmaker, regardless of only 1 of them going #1. I agree that with Drake's popularity he should of had multiple #1, even feature #1's but that hasn't happen. A lot of Drakes numbers are cause "Albums Cuts" can now chart, hoping on a million features which in turn has him dominating urban radio. So Drake is a hit machine, no doubt. But not having that huge #1 hit that people will connect to him shows that he isn't as Dominate as people like to think.
