I personally don't have an issue with this. :manny: How you gonna get upset at Universal for dropping that bag to promote their artist and at Spotify for taking a check? I bet the same ppl that are complaining wouldn't have an issue if it was their favorite artist all on the front page.
Breh the album was on gospel playlist yes it's a problem !!!

:wtf: are you even talking about .

People were pissed !!!

his point is that it wouldnt be a good thing if that happened
why not? it's no different from what has been going on for decades

Its lame to put Drakes face on playlists he's not even represented in. But don't try to argue against the principle just because it is drakes face. Could've easily been one of Bieber, swift or the beyonces of the world.

They went beyond just that. They were putting his picture on playlists that didn't even have his music in it. One person said they had a classical music playlist that he was on the cover for. Also spotify should do a better job at targeting their audiences if they're going to try something like this. Dudes who only listen to heavy metal or some shyt shouldn't be subject to that. It sets a bad precedent. Are they going to do the same for Justin Beiber, Taylor Swift, etc?
Exactly !!!!

That what I just posted his pic was posted on every single playlist .

I was wondering what in the entire fukk was going on.

I don't listen to Drake at all. shyt, I may have listened to one rap song in the past six months, but suddenly this dude is plastered all over the place. At first it didn't bother me, but the shyt just became too much. Way too fukking much.

Bro.. best of British though? :laff:


They might as well have turned the Spotify app into the Scorpion app for 24 hours and had every album replaced with drakes shyt if they wanted to be that blatant with the shyt.

Why wouldn't they hyper market the biggest album of the year? Avengers movies get big ass posters in movie theaters too...

Not a fan of Drake but business is business right.
Imagine going to the movies and seeing thanos on the cover of the romantic comedy poster, and on the cover of the horror flick. And on the cover of the obscure indie drama film with Kate Winslet. That’s what this is like.

It's probably a bug in the algorithm. Drake probably tagged the album all sorts of genres like people used to do on YouTube until they started scanning content.


No matter how "safe" Drake is....he's not Taylor swift safe as she don't need a parental advisory sticker. Plus Drake ain't even Will Smith safe....Drake obviously cusses.
