shyt like that might work ten years from now when fans that were 11 when this happened are talking about it but we're too close to what happened to have revisionist history work.
We saw in real time what the impact of Meet the Grahams Was. We can literally go in the threads here to see the effect of what dropping MTG an hour after Family Matters dropped to see how the entire internet said WTF and how THAT thread blew up. This effect was all over social media. The RDC skit captures the spirit of how those two tracks right next to each other were received. People hadn't even had time to soak up FM before they were like "Drake has a daughter!!!???
Why is this beat so creepy!!?
Lebron keep the family away?!
"
And then Not Like Us dropped the next day.
Family Matters still debuted inside the top 10 and has gone on to become platinum, with more youtube views than MTG as it got more replays after the shock of the initial week. But it doesn't take a conspiracy to see that the fans chose NLU that weekend to keep on repeat and dance to and post memes to.
