You’re extremely gullible if you think this isn’t about him losing the battle. All of this label finessing has been going on forever and he’s benefited from it many times. I remember Gods plan. This is a temper tantrum.
I finally read it. Is he saying the label played games with the battle in Kendricks favor to gain leverage in a renegotiation he was trying to do with them? If so that's dirty af. Also I do feel Kendrick used bots during the battle but the least botted song the whole battle was Not Like Us. That shyt was a legit hit record. Drake gonna have to get over that shyt. Meet The Grahams I 100% feel was botted tho.

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 was like when the entire internet said WTF and how THAT thread blew up. This effect was all over social media. The RDC skit - which dropped before Not Like Us - 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!!!???:damn: Why is this beat so creepy!!?:damn: Lebron keep the family away?!:damn:"

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.
Facts. You explained it perfectly . I repeated some of these same points you said to that individual just to reiterate it . Lol

Yes, this is bigger than music but Drake is the wrong messenger as Kanye was. Artists that have benefited from the 'industry' are in no position to preach when they feel the 'industry' is no loner on their side

Woah, very well said. I can see that. Thank you.

Care to explain how he dominated YouTube and Apple Music too? Drake is in bed with Apple.


The majors pushing a song that is heading to to #1 is their job :dahell:

They’ve been doing it for Drake for 15 years and still :dahell:

Word. Someone else said something similar. Changed my perspective, thank you.

That narrative doesn’t make sense to me at all still to this day about Meet the grahams. There is no logical reason that everyone would listen to meet the grahams and not Family Matters especially since they basically dropped 40 minutes apart. It was Drake’s big response to the beef to date. How can you have two people in a beef yet the bigger artist in terms of popularity his response is the one that gets listened to the least at that moment?
This is the entire basis of the Drake stan argument.

They genuinely, absolutely, 100%, do not understand why everyone is laughing at the emperor's new clothes :dead:

I, for one, welcome our new space overlords.
This is hilarious, considering when his album scorpion came out, his picture was the stock image for every Spotify playlist. This was even the case when his songs weren’t on the playlist.

The nailpainter lost the biggest ammo for his ego: Numbers!

For the first time in 10+ years the numbers favor another rapper except him. He used to get clowned a lot, but he was always number one and adored but a bunch kids, women and man-children. The tide have changed this year and so his ego is bruised.

It seems like some of his friends in the higher ups don't push his music that hard anymore.

What a lame person. If he was anymore of a child he would groom himself.
