He can’t make it because he doesn’t write his own lyrics. Its obvious as day.
This is the best we’ll EVER get out of modern day Drake.
It's wild to me that you believe he doesn't write his lyrics.

Physical in what form? Vinyls?
Of him not writing? No, there's more "proof" of him writing than not writing.
Him having some reference tracks just isn't the same thing as him not writing. Especially when he writes for others with writer credits and other have watched him write.
Physicals or “pure sales” are all combined nowadays.
So if you purchase via iTunes, Amazon, Vinyls, or CD it all goes towards “physical”.
Taylor Swift sells a DISGUSTING amount of Vinyl, she’s the queen of physical sales.
I think the rapper with the most Vinyl sales is Tyler, The Creator though i’d have to recheck that or maybe @Piff Perkins knows offhand.
Kendrick Lamar steadily sells a ton of Vinyl as does Childish Gambino.
He don't like him bruh. He know that man write his shyt. He just don't fukk with him.

This is from the halfway 2022 point. Since then Kendrick has sold considerably more vinyl, and GKMC is probably close to half a million vinyl records sold this year alone. It's insane. Tyler does extremely well too.
I wish I could find a chart I saw awhile ago that included older records. There are certain rap records that have been "trendy" or considered must haves for people building vinyl collections. Illmatic, Madvillainy, Game Theory, Ready To Die, and some others. Beyond just being great records, great cover ART really sells vinyl. Illmatic might be the greatest album cover IMO (and one of the most influential). Typically when I look at ideas for how people display their albums on a wall or shelf, I see Illmatic somewhere.
No
Hov went from 1997 to 09 with being one Of top rappers out( from 03 to 05) he was absent
Future was Cold from 2018-2020 with 2 flops he bounced back this year with his biggest Song featuring Drake
wild how much this has been so well received by listeners but reviewers are going out of their way to downplay it
even though I'm not really following or caring about the discussions that have came of the "controversy" of this album I'm glad its happened, and stirred up something.. Kendrick's album was ripe for twitter discourse but people weren't fukkin with it musically that discussion barely got off the ground. everything was just so pleasantly mid this year.. we needed a little kick and the album is a very fun listen

That beat flip of Middle Of The Ocean might be my favorite Drake shyt in years. Jay level shyt talking.
I came on here to say the same damn thing bruh
at around the same age Drake is now, Jay-Z came out of retirement to put out a dud album were he tried to sell being older was cool because Jim Jones was clowning him, the next attempt at a grown man album in MCHG didn't go over well with people because his roll out and billionaire talk alienated people
(the singles didn't help either)
2017, more than a decade after Kingdom Come, that was when he finally got all round critical and public praise for his grown man album in 4:44 were he stripped it down, condescended the listener and finally gave us some vulnerability plus he had the advantage of people intrigued at what was he going to say after Lemonade and the cheating furore that came from that.
Drake's got plenty of time
we won't get it any time soon or we might not get it at all but he's got plenty of time
