Drake is still the biggest streaming rapper on Spotify, people will still go to his concerts and buy his music.

I'd say go back to acting but it seems like outside of Game's house, LA is now a no fly zone for Drake, so this is probably the best option for him.


What do you mean by a "No fly zone" he cant go to LA? Didn't he just sell out 6 shows in LA 2 at 3 crypto 4 at the forum a few months ago? that's about 100,000 tickets, all those people disappeared? and lets not talk about Drake getting touched In LA. Tekashi went to LA and disrespected Nipsey Mural and came out untouched, Keefe D walked the streets of LA for 30 years untouched, P Diddy lives in LA.... Untouched.

I don’t think Drake is done but he’s gonna have to move different. It seems like the culture turned on him. The one thing that always kept Drake afloat within the culture was all the co-signs. There ain’t gonna be no more Future collabs and I’d be surprised if someone like 21 Savage does. He might have to strictly go the pop route from here on out

Ignore all the noise and go back to creating hits like before. It's the only thing he can do at this point.

But it's going to be hard to come back from this. His confidence is probably in the toilet and it will show in his music.

Drake too big to fail at this point. UMG paid him too much. He still gonna have the budget to pay for ready made hits and top features. The machine still gonna force his music down the public throat. And most his audience just listen to what they told to anyway.

But he gonna have to accept his role as a manufactured pop artist. He no longer gonna be forced into the conversation as a GOAT tier hip hop artist by anyone except his delusional stans.

I honestly dont know why Drake didnt transition out of music years ago.. he has the appeal to be another Will Smith in Hollywood.

Rap is so fickle. I’d say he’s one certified banger away from a narrative shift. Watch how Cole is suddenly the “best emcee alive” again once The Fall Off drops.

His career isn't over, but he'll never be the biggest rapper in the game again. He's taken a massive hit, and he's 37 in a young man's game. LA and Atlanta won't help him, and that pdf file label is going to follow him wherever he goes.

He'll still make hits, but nothing on the level of Hotline Bling or God's Plan because he's not cool anymore. He's like an Eminem or Post Malone now; only popular with the whites. Even before the battle is fanbase had gradually shifted from predominantly female to mostly male (and incel).
He’s the biggest rapper currently
