Bruh was performing for fat CACs at coffee shops on his last solo album, dressed like a substitute middle school gym teacher :dead:

Not just album tours, he's saying he's doing multiple tours. He's done 2 now within a year of the last project even after claiming to fade to black for health reasons.

Common sense says that multi-million dollar deal was going to come with a laundry list of requirements. Artist promotion, touring, etc. Joe keeps trying to act like he's just asking questions but he already knows the answers to them - he just doesn't want to be seen as the one putting it out there.
You’re just as dumb as budden

Drake didn’t tour CLB or Honestly Nevermind

He did a tour for Her loss and the last tour was for FAD

Touring new music is a pretty standard industry practice

My curiosity lies in what does drake need to recoup?

This isnt a movie with 10’s to 100’s of millions on the line for a single project.

Its an album. Drake dont even do vids like that. Or crazy rollouts.

So what hole is drake in to a label. Maybe im missing a key expense. But i dont see it.

Now if we talking that he needs to tour a lot because the label demands him too. Sure. I guess.

People are saying it looks a way because he got right back to tour after he said he was done for the year because of his stomach issues. The amount of touring he did last year wasn't standard for someone of his caliber.

WE HEARD IT ON THE JOE BUDDEN POD IT HAS TO BE TRUE 🤦🏾‍♂️


It's All a Blur Tour was a co-headlining tour featuring Canadian rapper Drake, in support of his first collaborative album with Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage, Her Loss (2022), and his eighth solo studio album, For All the Dogs (2023). The tour began on July 5, 2023, in Chicago, and is scheduled to conclude on April 5, 2024, in Newark, New Jersey, consisting of 72 shows across the United States and Canada.[1][2] It is Drake's first North American tour in five years.[3]

For huge artists this is standard also

You're just as much of a stan as the rest of these n*ggas.

Get out your feelings and look at the facts. He didn't tour in 2021 or 2022 because of Covid - like the rest of the industry. But his deal wrapped in 2021 and was announced in 2022.

these be the guys screaming hip-hop is dead :dead:

instead of showcasing "real rap" they'd rather focus all their energy into ghostwriting AI MC's they "despise"


WATTBA.

He toured from July to October. Almost 3 months exactly.

The second leg of the tour just started on February and ends in April.



The Big Steppers tour started in June 2022 and just end last month.

One toured 4 albums in 6 months over two years. The other toured one album for 2 years.

Kendrick's tour started June 2022 and just ended last month.

Drake toured multiple albums over 6 months across 2 years and made twice the money with 20 less shows too

Sadly this is true


His whole generation was on some BS. In lyfe in general. I'm some years behind them.

They're the same era that pushed that "stop snitching" BS to keep them fed and my generation all the way fukked up.

They're beyond rotten and care about nobody but themselves.

They're all snake oil salesman who will do anything for a profit while speaking about "code" they don't live or care about from a podium.

Self preservation by any means necessary.
