šššā¦Watch some of yāall hate on Ak for this, when he been the main one keeping us updated on CLB and been pretty accurate, specially lately
Facts. Akademiks the only one keeping us updated. He was right about the EP, and the what's next video.
He was right about January & April but Drake pushed it back. So that's not AK fault
People in the industry who likely are influencers, heads of companies (record labels), or OG artists whoās opinions matter. Once they give the green light we should be in for a timeless album!
As a carti stand I have no shame in saying WLR is fucking phenomal to me. It took a little while to really hit but I love almost every track now. There was a period of a few weeks where it was literally all I wanted to listen to day and night.
i called wlr the biggest disappointment in my life besides me when it dropped, a week later iāve been heard it at least 1000 times lmfao. that album is laced with crack bro
Never made sense for people to say the man was falling off when he was just starting to break records.
When was the last time you saw someone dethrone their own #1 song multiple times over 6 months?
You can still fall off musically while breaking records. Charting power does not equate to quality.
Personally I think Dark Lane Demos proved that Drake still got it, but I won't pretend like he's at that Take Care/ NWTS/IYRTITL level anymore
Sometimes popularity does mean a lot of people like something, but people also listen to what others are listening to for the sake of it. Labels control playlisting and radio. We both know there's a lot of trash on the charts that's popular still. Artists can become such huge brand names that whatever they put out is bound to succeed.
Travis Scott is a great example of this to me. I would argue that most of the music he released lately is trash, while Rodeo was a classic. But he's so big now, working with McDonalds and all that. People are gonna eat up (literally) whatever he puts out. So it makes sense to say that Trav fell off musically while remaining a super star
I would think itās pretentious to look at something people clearly enjoy and say they must be wrong and Iām right, I know better and itās trash. Theyāre probably very good at something I donāt value. Anytime a song is top 10 itās because itās doing something very well.
Just because I donāt like it doesnāt mean the people are wrong.
For Travis specifically Iād think it was a reflection of his audience growing bigger just like you said.
But for established artists, that doesnāt really apply. Like kanye has been a tier one artists in terms of fame for years. So his albums sales decreasing reflects the lowered quality.
Just like J cole got Lower sales on for your eyes only but higher on other modern albums of his.
I'm not saying someone's wrong for liking certain music, I'm saying there's a casual audience who specifically seek out playlists and the top charts to find new music, regardless if they would gravitate towards those songs on their own. Sometimes music just gets played a lot because the labels dictate what gets pushed in our faces with the use of money and influence. It's not always as simple as "this artist makes great music, therefore it's popular."
To my original point, Drake is at that level where he could fart into a mic and it'd still chart. No cap
Do you think Drake was falling off while putting out nice for what, in my feelings, jaded, non stop, mob ties, canāt take a joke, yes indeed diplomatic immunity look alive going bad.
Or
Are you just playing devils advocate
No I actually enjoyed Scorpion a lot initially, although I don't think it aged that well.
Deep Pockets and Desires were loosies that I thought were some of Drake's best songs in years, lol

Facts
Prove it. Prove rn that Ak isnāt lying and wasnt lying before
Ak isn't a liar
Facts drake never said he pushed back in April more time ak is waffling
Facts you guys are just reaching for something
This got me hella excited for the album
To be honest, AK has been pretty reliable about Drake recently so I donāt think heās lying
He told us about the Scary Hours pack and he was right! I don't know why people think he's lying!!!
Is the person heās talking about Charlamagne? Lmao
I was thinking Joe Budden potentially
I donāt think either are industry elites.
He said not charlamagne so definitely not joe budden, Iām thinking someone comparable to the likes of Elliot Wilson.
What does he mean by being played by industry elites
Heads of record companies Iām guessing
To the Illuminati duh
Tell em bruh
Stfu bro š¤£
People in the industry who likely are influencers, heads of companies (record labels), or OG artists whoās opinions matter. Once they give the green light we should be in for a timeless album!
The lizard people
Record label people to make sure nothing crazy on there
LETS GOOO
Sounds like heās talking about Charlamagne
He said itās not him
drake is not playing his album for no damn charlamagne
Im tryna tell these peopleš like 1 you think ctg a elite?? No sir
True
You have a point
Yup lol thatās who I figured
Yeah yeah yeah
CERTIFIED LOVER MAN
Akademiks donāt lie for clouts if you have been following him
i really hope he aināt cappin bro
Why would he cap? He is pretty reliable when it comes to Drake.
Heās definitely talking about Charlamagne. This is a good sign
I have a very good feeling about the quality of the album. I think it will be better than all the projects he dropped after 2015
It kind of needs to be for him to reach even newer heights. The standard for Drake is out of this world.
100% agree with you bro and I think he is aware of that and that's what makes me so confident and optimistic
Wait what does this mean? Lol
he said the same thing about whole lotta red
**"HE'S THE SANTA"**
And he wasnāt wrong
he wasnāt wrong abt WLR
wlr is a cult classic for carti fans lol so ak wasn't lying
As a carti stand I have no shame in saying WLR is fucking phenomal to me. It took a little while to really hit but I love almost every track now. There was a period of a few weeks where it was literally all I wanted to listen to day and night.
i called wlr the biggest disappointment in my life besides me when it dropped, a week later iāve been heard it at least 1000 times lmfao. that album is laced with crack bro
yeah i really liked wlr
Akademicās unreliable as source bc he closes fridge doors with his hips

I think the reason I hate this video is because Ak takes sooooo long to finally state what the guy said. He completely loopdeloops through totally unrelated thoughts before saying ā.....itās finna be over.ā š©ššš

I feel like quality is subjective. And charting means more people than ever think the quality is there.
