Charlamagne was right.. Drake is on the downside of his career.. album got 0 buzz
Albums Drake - Certified Lover Boy (Discussion Thread)
- Thread starter Ahadi
- Start date
Their shyt bombed hard. Meanwhile Lil Baby, Von and others selling well despite most clubs being closed. Music is gonna do what it does regardless. The major difference is tour money. If you're Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Travis, Cardi, etc releasing an album without the ability to tour is leaving $30 to $100 million dollars on the table, depending on the artist.
I'd imagine part of the reason Drake is delaying is because they're trying to line the tour up. Will venues be open in...July? August? September? I don't know.
what shyt bombed?
I think Drake could sell out stadiums in 2022 regardless just depends if his good singles have lasting power.

City Girls bombed. Obviously Drake is gonna do 500k+ first week regardless, it doesn't matter. My argument is that albums are just the first step in selling a product: the tour. Yes Drake can do a stadium tour whenever but as an artist, your album is a phase of your life, and a creation of a moment in time. Not being able to present that to the world as planned, in a timely manner, sucks. Think about Weeknd. He had an elaborate image and theme for his album, had a tour planned...and doesn't get to do it. Sure he'll do the Super Bowl. But after that, is he going to want to don that outfit again in October 2021 when we might see tours again? I doubt it. That moment will be gone. He'll probably have an EP or something released to mark the end of that era.

TDE Championship Tour headline by Kendrick and sza was in 2018 a good full year after DAMN. Drake could drop now and tour next year no problem
Drake has never done a stadium tour.... and I don’t think he can..
no rapper has ever done so.. (Jay Z doesn’t count since It was with Beyoncé and she’s the biggest act in the world)
So y’all calling it postponed? Back in the day we called it PUSHED BACK
I’ve seen the same rhetoric before. It was back in 2007-2008 when my man Fif was on the downfall.
“he will always go plat”
“He can always tour stadiums”

Drake Summer 16 Tour was huge.
Yeah, it was an Arena Tour... NBA venues (15k-19k capacity)
Stadium Tours like the On The Run Tour, were NFL Stadiums. (60-80k)

Everybody has a shelf life he had pretty extended run like we've actually never really seen in hip hop. But I dont feel like he will transition well into too many other things. But I could be wrong.
