I said this yesterday. Yet we’re supposed to believe the albums on his new deal (plus the tours) have magically hit 500mil+ in a couple years.

He’s mad he’s stuck in a bad deal and is trying to get out by any means. That’s all this is about. Go look at Prince’s 1992 deal if you want an example of how past album success can be used as a weapon by labels with an artist who isn’t selling as much as he used to. Prince couldn’t replicate his mid/late 80s success by 1992. Drake clearly can’t replicate his Scorpion/Views era success. And just like Prince he tricked himself into picking the big headline number out of ego.



That would have been the perfect time to do his own thing

Thread is wild as fukk
  • Drake suing cause he can't stomach the L he took
  • UMG telling him to get the fukk on
  • Drake suing again
  • Posters straight up admitting to having various burner accounts
  • Using said burner accounts to stick up for the PDF file
  • Drakes lack of awareness and denial to a legit bop of a record
  • Most of his celebrity supporters are quiet as kept now
  • Mods getting people out the paint with a quickness
This thread is :ohlawd:

Yea I see all these OG NY rappers like him and cam and mase and others not saying nothing now after rocking with drake. Hating on what the west coast is doing. I’m from Atlanta and love NY hip hop , so not hating but it is what it is lol
This is really an angle that got me thinking about the home of hip-hop (NY) and it made me lowkey sad breh.

I understand standing on business, I understand the trynna be buddies with the hip-hop cash-cow...that I understand.

What I will never understand, is when Drake came at Kendrick NY MC's/DJ's didn't automatically stand with the obviously superior (and American!) rapper.
Just how much hate does NY have for the west coast that they willing to sacrifice their pillar on this hip-hop thing? And why? Ain't PAC die first and Biggie later? Shouldn't it be the other way around (the West Coast hating on NY excessively)?

I was 14/15 when I first heard about the history of Hip-Hop, to me it was a given that the tallest gatekeepers and preservers of the artform would be the NYorkers, even if Atlanta/Cali'n'em started popping more in terms of sound/fame eventually.

But it ain't go like that at all. I just find it weird.

I hate when nikkas post shyt like this...
Because it’s about Jay z? Forgot it’s the coli. He called around and blackballed gillie for not signing a shytty rocafella deal. He interfered with Nas summer jam performance during the beef. Eminem had to threaten to not do the superbowl to get 50 cent there because Jay wasn’t allowing it. Lol A lot of these dudes are like this.

50 was trying to coddle Drake so he could come act in one of his projects when he finally realizes his run is over fr.

If he called J Fold to tell him an apology wasn’t a good look, he likely wants nothing to do with Drake now.

Yeah, 50 pandered more to Drake because he was dissing Ross and because Drake was also pandering to 50.

I personally don’t think he has anything against Dot. He did repost Euphoria and bigged up K Dot when asked about his thoughts on Dot getting the Super Bowl.

Plus Fif is cool with Punch and them.

Still, a bad look and understand why brehs here would look at him sideways.

It could be any rapper.

50 is irrelevant musically so nobody cares what he does in the beef. He supported Drake bc Drake got that replica g unit chain made :skip:


Plus he loves to be a thorn in Jimmy Iovine and Dre side for fun (#SMSAudio :skip: )
