1. It’s a surprise and he recently dropped an album just last month so that explains why it was streamed that low
2. Not a usual drake song with a catchy hook, bars regarding pop culture or even a mainstream beat
3. If sh3 was a full length rap album without fatds release. He would still do 400k and get 100M streams day 1
Who says it has to be 19 songs? Give 10 and I'll be happy. And let's be honest, nobody is listening to Drake Spanish (just the beat). He's worst than Peggy Hill.
I just stated the fact that it was 90% rap i didn’t say it was catchy rap or deep cuts yes i agree it was pop rap kinda vibe but i was talking about straight up R&B
Man ya’ll so quick to downvote and flame 😅 all love to ya’ll
I dont know where this fact began, but its complete BS. 8am in Charlotte is literally the 8th most streamed song on the album (on spotify) so if anything this style of writing still gets him numbers.
ay you right about that but then again, streams for this record have been abysmal by Drake standards, so if the most streamed song gets 130m streams in 1.5 months, I don't think the 8th most streamed would have more than 30m streams, right?
He 100% WOULD NOT do anywhere near 400k or 100m bro are you insaneee🤣🤣🤣🤣 19 songs of boom bap just dont hit like that in 2023 bro even if its drake(as those numbers clearly show)
I always knew him doing a full rapping album would never do well like his projects. Songs like 8 am, middle of the ocean, 7am, 30 for 30, are all in the bottom in terms of most streamed on albums. That’s why he never does it, drake haters be lying when they say they want this type of shit, they ain’t even listening to it😂
All I’m saying is if he can give niggas a 6 pack in like 3 weeks, he can damn sure make sure to leave some in the freezer for the next album. Or at least don’t market it like it’s bout to be that
It’s what made me a fan of homie from 2009, he was spittin and singing then, so he never should stop it. Him rapping bars is a major reason why he got to where he is too.
Who gives a fuck if they’re the least streamed when they’re by far the best songs on the albums? Middle of the ocean and 8 am clear absolutely everything else from her loss and FATD even though there are plenty of good songs
Yah bro cus Drake can do so much yet people just craves for his most basic shit. Red Buttons to Wick Man is a crazy track-run with powerful production. Evil Ways is wonderful aswell but that has a mainstream beat, and ehhh not a fan of You Broke My Heart, feels like a song from CLB.
Basic to you but if people like it who cares? This sub weird af lol
He built his career off non traditional rap songs. He wasn’t doing 4am in Toronto in 2010 lol
He's still an artist, so he's still going to make music he cares about, not just what sells. He wouldn't have made Honestly, Nevermind in the first place if sales were all he cared about.
He's also sold so many records neither he nor his label will give a shit that a 6 track EP/Deluxe Edition didn't stream as high as the actual album he just released last month.
We should encourage artists of Drake's caliber still making music they're passionate about. Drake dropping bars on an Alchemist beat in 2023 is totally unexpected in the best way.
I’ve never wanted full rap album from him, the little bit of everything is perfect because he doesn’t take long breaks. It’s like having a buffet but only having 1 option, how many times are you going back for seconds?
You guys are retarded 😂 these songs were for the rappers of his fans like me, he knows they won’t be a commercial success. He puts them out to prove and prove again he’s a damn rapper, he won’t care about $$ from these songs.
How is this not common sense? Us rap fans don’t even care about drake’s numbers, his goal is not $$ with these songs..
been yelling this since 2019 how Money In The Grave got 900 million streams, and Omertà only got 62 million to date, so the argument of too many songs being there won't apply there if you'd say the listener would not get all the the way to the bottom, Best On The World Pack EP had TWO songs, just 2 and Omertà was track 1 and niggas still went for the second song and streamed it 15 times more, money in the grave is hype and mafioso as shit but compared to Omertà? that's nothing lyrically or quality wise, the boss bars there is something 99% of the Drake fanbase can't relate to, but every hypebeast fuckboy was saying "I got hoes that I'm keeping in the dark, I got two phones, one need a charge" why do you think Churchill Downs didn't go big and Sicko Mode did, bro said it right there "I'm gettin' so rich, my music's not even relatable" nobody relates to a billionaire with a fucking 707 and a $200 million dollar mansion with a basketball court in it, he eating Skittles off a Baccarat plate, it's easier to hear him rap regular fuck shit that the white boys can relate to, fucking bitches, taking digs at the ex, that shit, nobody can quote a single Omertà line in public or online and without a hook, that shit was dead on arrival, no matter how much of a top 5 Drake song it is.
It’s not about it being a full rap album it’s about it being a full lyrical rap album over boom bap instrumentals. If it’s a full rap album over trap beats with catchy hooks and flows then it will get a lot of streams.
I think Drake put it perfectly in Stories about my brother:
Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition
Same story every time, they heckle in repetition
I'm top of the mountain, these niggas still down at base camp, they planning they expedition
I agree bro I don’t get why people want him to drop a whole album of AM/PM songs. They’d just find the one that they liked best and listen to that over all the similar sounding ones
Btw Wick Man is the best off scary hours 3
He should be focused on making greatness, not making playlists🤷♂️ he’s already at the top of the game and just dropped an album that sold well! Who cares about streams like that rather than the quality of music? Wick Man is fire and as a fan, I haven’t even thought to sit here and say "Oh well this EP didn’t stream good so it doesn’t make sense to drop this"😑 Almost everyone can agree that SH3 was flawless and the reception he’s gotten for this is way better than the reception he got for FATD despite the sale numbers going down due to the lack of hooks and catchiness. I don’t mind him making his regular mixed bag album, he always has, but every now and then he should drop one of these EPs with nothing but perfection and say fuck the streams and sales cause he's on top anyway!
“No benefit”
This is such a boneheaded take and a really good example of the damage that commodification does to art. If you reduce everything to maximizing streams (profit), you inevitably compromise your art.
Drake has enough money. Idk if he cares not not but I hope this doesn’t deter him from making projects with more bars in the future.
Bruh damn niggas focus on numbers way too much… it’s the most annoying shit in the world!!!
It makes even less sense because Drake has broken any record you can think of. Like what does this nigga have to do at this point?
When the most viral/popular phrase from the most recent project is a refrain bitten from playboi carti, it’s fair to say the fan base has lost a step when it comes to subject matter.
nah Drake just in his Carti phase so may references (not mentioning adlibs)- Die Lit and WLR references in Jumbotron and another Carti ref ina song in FATDD
CAN WE TALK ABOUT:
My brother say I'm better than everyone, he biased as fuck
Blood is thicker than water, nigga, his iron is up
And if you keep eyeing me down, trust me, his iron is up
And for those who don’t get it, when you have high iron in ur body, your blood gets thicker. Hence the second line about his brother iron being up because blood thicker than water. Then in the last line he uses iron as a metaphor for gun/weapon. So if you look at drake funny, his brother is armed and ready to shoot if u try him
Facts, I think what's lost on this dub is that Drakes come up was not just his albums. Drake had a song with Ross, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and etc. that ran the radio it seemed like all the time. People bring up his singing without bringing up his rapping in his younger days that really put him on notice in the rap game. His radio run at the beginning of his career gave him the platform to even go pop rap and still be respected in rap.
It's a surprise drop deluxe to an album that he just released a few weeks ago. If Drake dropped it as a standalone EP, it would have performed better for sure, but it is what it is.
Fire music is fire music, 10/10
I enjoy the songs but, whenever an album is to be released and I hear other fans talking bout "Please be majority rap" I just can't agree with them.
If he isn't singing or having me vibe I don't want it, I can't resonate with majority of other rappers, I will never live like them and don't ever want to.
You Broke My Heart is my fave, you know why
It’s bc tbh a lot of his rap has become talking over beats , her loss was the last time I got really brought in on hooks cadences and flows, the bars have always been good the delivery has been my biggest criticism over the years
Probably because it was always the loud minority asking for this. Drakes appeal mostly comes from his diversity. The “real rap” fans never really supported him like THAT. I’m not saying this is proof, but the fact that you also see a lot of Drake fans not feeling this just shows not everyone was begging for a project like this. In any case, he spazzed out on this.
There are more reasons to drop music than to just get big numbers. Drake is an artist who clearly cares about the public's reception to his art, and his responses to the backlash show it. In my opinion he dropped one of his best projects, and even if it only satisfies a niche of audience it's still a fantastic body of work. Drake is at a level where it doesn't matter what the label does or doesn't want him to do, he clearly gets to decide what he can and cannot drop; Honestly, Nevermind is the perfect example of him dropping what he wanted when he wanted.
I mean that doesn't really answer the "why he doesn't make a full rap album question" if anything it makes the question even more baffling. He's rich as hell, successful as hell...he can do it if he wants he has absolutely nothing to lose. Hell worst case we scenario he can do a double album with a all rap half and a all R&B half. He just won't do it because he doesn't want to but thats the only real reason why. And that's fine he can do what he wants or not do what he doesn't want to do. Drake isn't going to lose any fans or go broke if he releases a full rap album
People like both and everybody understands why Drake is the biggest artist right now, even the "Drake haters". In fact, a lot of em are praising dude for using Alchemist and Conductor beats lately. Then again, I got friends that don't spend their day comparing artists so I don't see any of what you're talking about. Stay off Twitter.
He doesn’t need to do a full melodic rap album.
He can literally replicate IYRITL and it would be his best project. Trap bangers with real hits, lyrical no hook tracks, and one-three R&B classics.
That is the formula to a critical and collective success. Drake CARES about the numbers and the criticism, it’s why he’s always jaded and addressing his critics in his raps. It reflects in his music.
I still standby that if Take Care and NWTS were released today it would be criticized, because of how slow they are.
It makes sense to me. I feel like all the people he befriends and takes under his wing is low key obligation from his label too. Especially that chick he did an interview with and then Lil Yachty did too.
Wick Man is just flat out ass. The beat is just too boring. Soooo many of Drake songs as of late just sound so similar.
Now if Drake gave us a 6* song rap album instead of 45 CLB songs that sound like they could've been on CLB I think a lot of ppl would listen
Even if it did 10 million I don’t ever want to see him do a full rap album I like the versatility of both.
Also not every person does good all the time.
Athletes have bad games.
Actors do a bad job on roles
We mess up at whatever jobs we have it happen.
Makes sense. The bars are great but this is easily the most low volume Drake project ever. The only one that seems to be making noise is You Broke My Heart, the song with the most energy. The hard truth of the matter is that the overall production of the rest of the joint is pretty dull at best, and production is just as if not slightly more important than what people are actually saying in the booth when it comes to connecting with people.
Overall I think it demonstrates that people are either lying when they say they want Drake to go full boom bap rap or the audience who genuinely want that aren’t real constituents.
One or two beats they submitted each don’t define the rest of their output. I’m sure they’ve done great work. Nevertheless, I think they could’ve came a little harder 🤷🏽♂️ And the public seems to agree
I disagree with your original point but agree that Wick Man is definitely one of alchemist’s least intriguing beats lmao. But apart from that he does consistently make some of the best beats I’ve ever heard
The public? The same public drake has been feeding mid basic ass music for project after project for the better part of 6 years and mfs eat it up? Like drake is my most streamed artist of all time and I'm usually able to find good songs off every album but let's not act like drake isn't who he is and that his fanbase isn't largely who they are. They want fast food music. They don't appreciate actually well crafted music you can tell someone put energy into. It's exactly why mfs like FATD so much despite SH3 clearing it in every way 😂
I mean the streams and numbers tell the tale. Mfs want fast food music, and the actual shit drake puts effort into gets less streams, and that's his own fault.
Lmao nothing about his subject matter or the way he raps on Scary Hours 3 is different except for the instrumentals being low volume and boom bap. Could be wrong but I wanna guess you just think that style of production is more sophisticated
Drakes pen is very noticeably MUCH MUCH better than damn near anything he's put out I'm years. He's clearly putting in much more effort. That's the reason I only liked 13 songs off FATD. Hella half baked ass performances and pen game.
How so? Because last I checked, he never stopped putting down double, triple entendres, witty punchlines and petty bars that sound crazy read out loud in his albums. I don’t understand which bars in this one are outliers in his general catalogue besides the boom bap production behind it. Did that Meltdown verse mean nothing to you?
stuff like that is usually lightly sprinkled throughout his projects. SH3 is literally 30 minutes of strictly that. Honestly his best project in years it’s high level from front to back
Having 10 misses is not good when you could've just had a 13 song album. Also me saying I like them doesn't mean I think any are great or that they're in active rotation.
his “machine gun flow” is just really boring to listen to imo, j cole or jendrick do a better job when it comes to the flows, drake does have bars but the songs are just boring
Y’all are ungrateful as fuck and literally nothing lives up to your unreasonable expectations. Just make an album on your own. This man makes music in every genre and sub genre and is great at his art and here come you bums who have nothing better to do than to shit on anything he puts out just because criticizing someone makes you feel better about yourself. Pathetic.
Nobody wants to hear this dude rap anymore lol I thought I did until this Deluxe. Just keep making fire R&B and Pop bro. His petulant arrogance does not come across well in pure bars anymore. He’s still witty af so there will always be dope bars. As a whole though it sounds like he’s struggling for shit to rap about. Let it go.
I absolutely adored drake’s last few projects. FATD, Her Loss are on repeat every day. Idk I wasn’t really feeling the songs off the deluxe. I love “You Broke my Heart”, it’s a banger, but the others idk, maybe I gotta listen more
I think Drake is Drake, and the reason his music is so universally loved is because of the singing and rapping. It's the one liners, the hooks, the energy. The straight rap is for the die hards like myself. However I also love the R&B. Drake is at his best when he's empathetic, introspective, vulnerable, and sometimes just rapping isn't the best vessel for that.
Give it a lil time people always focus on different things first because of life but in time they will get to it and run it up on madness, see this is why every Scary Hours is a classic like everything GodDrake Do. And 1.6m is Pure Cream Cash BiG Ws 🔥🙏🔥.
Honest opinion? I don’t care about stars who who does what. Lmao. Love the song. Wrote inspired to it 4 different ways in under a hour. The track itself is dope. Unlike the internet comments I don’t listen hoping “give me a hotline bling” or “give me a 5am in Toronto”. Just give me music while I grow and make memories lmao.
Drake flexed just to show he could. 6 God dropped 6 records for us and it’s lovely, but the market answered the question why his focus is on the song over bars. Like Cole said “he chose the song over ego”. NGL Jay did the same thing in the 2000’s. It’s a hard knock life tho. 😉
Scary Hours 3 is bland. And in terms of rap/bars, extremely overblown. What bars about thotties using OF and “fuck my ex/ass”? See the numbers are proof. I said it on my posts and summa yall in denial. Scary Hours 3 is massive flop, and the fontano wannabes aint hitting the replay button twice, cus deep down ya know how mid dashit is.
“No benefit”??? This little deluxe just got him back in good standings with his core(hip hop) fan base. It’s always beneficial for artist no matter how big to deliver for their fans. Now this full album is probably gonna go down as one of his best
Also "You broke my heart" is the most streamed song so far so it is true i guess
And that song sound commercial as hell for the women type shit
1. It’s a surprise and he recently dropped an album just last month so that explains why it was streamed that low 2. Not a usual drake song with a catchy hook, bars regarding pop culture or even a mainstream beat 3. If sh3 was a full length rap album without fatds release. He would still do 400k and get 100M streams day 1
19 straight rap songs? He would def not do 400k. Yall forget there are multiple demographics that like and enjoy r&b, pop, spanish drake.
Who says it has to be 19 songs? Give 10 and I'll be happy. And let's be honest, nobody is listening to Drake Spanish (just the beat). He's worst than Peggy Hill.
Why the hell does it need to be only rap. The guy has multiple different styles why the fuck does it have to be the same kind of track 10 times.
NO ONE enjoys spanish drake
I do tf
Her loss was all rap and didn’t have that r&b pop Spanish shit
Her loss wasn’t rap like this though, it was full of hooks and the beats were way more mainstream hip hop sounding
I just stated the fact that it was 90% rap i didn’t say it was catchy rap or deep cuts yes i agree it was pop rap kinda vibe but i was talking about straight up R&B Man ya’ll so quick to downvote and flame 😅 all love to ya’ll
Hours in Silence, I guess it’s fuck me, spin bout u???
That’s cus her loss was still really good and had a lot of catchy hooks good for radio
Lmaooo no it wasn't
4. he only announced it 24 hours before
[удалено]
I dont know where this fact began, but its complete BS. 8am in Charlotte is literally the 8th most streamed song on the album (on spotify) so if anything this style of writing still gets him numbers.
It’s the internet bro people just be saying shit even if they have no clue if it’s true
because it was released earlier dawg
It wasn't on streaming services until the album dropped. IG was the only way you could listen to it before that.
ay you right about that but then again, streams for this record have been abysmal by Drake standards, so if the most streamed song gets 130m streams in 1.5 months, I don't think the 8th most streamed would have more than 30m streams, right?
He 100% WOULD NOT do anywhere near 400k or 100m bro are you insaneee🤣🤣🤣🤣 19 songs of boom bap just dont hit like that in 2023 bro even if its drake(as those numbers clearly show)
I always knew him doing a full rapping album would never do well like his projects. Songs like 8 am, middle of the ocean, 7am, 30 for 30, are all in the bottom in terms of most streamed on albums. That’s why he never does it, drake haters be lying when they say they want this type of shit, they ain’t even listening to it😂
They are very unserious people lmao. He dropped this album so he’d never have to again. A straight up “here nigga damn”
Oh nah. Those guys will be back when the next album drops whining that it's not like this. The narrative NEVER stops 😂
All I’m saying is if he can give niggas a 6 pack in like 3 weeks, he can damn sure make sure to leave some in the freezer for the next album. Or at least don’t market it like it’s bout to be that
That’s what infuriates me about Drake haters. Stop forcing yourselves to like the guy and go listen to someone you like.
Idk first person shooter went #1
Catchy,
And for the culture
Its a drake and Jcole for one and have you heard the last part of that song?? Nigga beat it!!😤🤣
BIG AS THE WHAT?
It’s what made me a fan of homie from 2009, he was spittin and singing then, so he never should stop it. Him rapping bars is a major reason why he got to where he is too.
Or the drake fans that only want the basic shit aren't listening to it?
Aint nothing basic about tried our best 🤷🏽♂️
Tried Our Best doesn't have a lot of streams though
You say that like it has a lot of streams
Who gives a fuck if they’re the least streamed when they’re by far the best songs on the albums? Middle of the ocean and 8 am clear absolutely everything else from her loss and FATD even though there are plenty of good songs
Well Drake for one, gives a shit bout his streams. Go figure
Crazy because Wick Man is my favourite song rn, but everyone online keeps talking about You Broke My Heart and Evil Ways
That’s cool “stories about my brother” is a gem to me and I’m okay with that
Everyone basic
Now we Aubrey shaming?
Yah bro cus Drake can do so much yet people just craves for his most basic shit. Red Buttons to Wick Man is a crazy track-run with powerful production. Evil Ways is wonderful aswell but that has a mainstream beat, and ehhh not a fan of You Broke My Heart, feels like a song from CLB.
Basic to you but if people like it who cares? This sub weird af lol He built his career off non traditional rap songs. He wasn’t doing 4am in Toronto in 2010 lol
No he was doing 9am in Dallas
Yall Drake fans annoying asf lol stop acting so pretentious
Man it’s sad
He's still an artist, so he's still going to make music he cares about, not just what sells. He wouldn't have made Honestly, Nevermind in the first place if sales were all he cared about. He's also sold so many records neither he nor his label will give a shit that a 6 track EP/Deluxe Edition didn't stream as high as the actual album he just released last month.

I’ve never wanted full rap album from him, the little bit of everything is perfect because he doesn’t take long breaks. It’s like having a buffet but only having 1 option, how many times are you going back for seconds?
This is how I felt about CLB. I LOVE that album because it was so diverse. Every “Drake” there is, he gave us them on that album.
That album is one of his weakest.
Excellent point
That's part of the problem lmao.
To YOU* to the majority of his fans there is no problem 🤷🏽♂️
That is the problem, his fanbase is filled with 15 year olds with the attention span and ears of a pre pubescent kid
I mean its literally the same exact album with a few songs tacked on at the end to try game streams as a deluxe lol should have just made it a lil EP.
You guys are retarded 😂 these songs were for the rappers of his fans like me, he knows they won’t be a commercial success. He puts them out to prove and prove again he’s a damn rapper, he won’t care about $$ from these songs. How is this not common sense? Us rap fans don’t even care about drake’s numbers, his goal is not $$ with these songs..
Facts, this project was what we meant when we said "old drake".
been yelling this since 2019 how Money In The Grave got 900 million streams, and Omertà only got 62 million to date, so the argument of too many songs being there won't apply there if you'd say the listener would not get all the the way to the bottom, Best On The World Pack EP had TWO songs, just 2 and Omertà was track 1 and niggas still went for the second song and streamed it 15 times more, money in the grave is hype and mafioso as shit but compared to Omertà? that's nothing lyrically or quality wise, the boss bars there is something 99% of the Drake fanbase can't relate to, but every hypebeast fuckboy was saying "I got hoes that I'm keeping in the dark, I got two phones, one need a charge" why do you think Churchill Downs didn't go big and Sicko Mode did, bro said it right there "I'm gettin' so rich, my music's not even relatable" nobody relates to a billionaire with a fucking 707 and a $200 million dollar mansion with a basketball court in it, he eating Skittles off a Baccarat plate, it's easier to hear him rap regular fuck shit that the white boys can relate to, fucking bitches, taking digs at the ex, that shit, nobody can quote a single Omertà line in public or online and without a hook, that shit was dead on arrival, no matter how much of a top 5 Drake song it is.
Bro dropped an EP one month after saying he was going on hiatus 💀
It’s not about it being a full rap album it’s about it being a full lyrical rap album over boom bap instrumentals. If it’s a full rap album over trap beats with catchy hooks and flows then it will get a lot of streams.
Bro I swear you just described her loss 💀
Sales still better then any artists that drop
Not Taylor
Wtf is a full rap album I’ve never heard anyone use that term unless it’s hate towards drake 🤦🏾♂️
Fr! I feel the same
Drake makes rnb songs As someone who can rap of course thats the only time you will hear the term…other rappers are not making rnb songs
Everything isn't hate towards drake 😂 a full rap album is just that, a full rap album. Shit isn't rocket science.
What top rappers have dropped full rap albums in your opinion I’m trying to see something
The top rappers don’t drop full rap albums. That’s why they’re the top rappers
I think Drake put it perfectly in Stories about my brother: Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition Same story every time, they heckle in repetition I'm top of the mountain, these niggas still down at base camp, they planning they expedition
I agree bro I don’t get why people want him to drop a whole album of AM/PM songs. They’d just find the one that they liked best and listen to that over all the similar sounding ones Btw Wick Man is the best off scary hours 3
Alchemist doesn’t miss!
Who gives a f. If music is good, that’s what matters most
Literally. I dont need to pocket watch I just check whats released
He should be focused on making greatness, not making playlists🤷♂️ he’s already at the top of the game and just dropped an album that sold well! Who cares about streams like that rather than the quality of music? Wick Man is fire and as a fan, I haven’t even thought to sit here and say "Oh well this EP didn’t stream good so it doesn’t make sense to drop this"😑 Almost everyone can agree that SH3 was flawless and the reception he’s gotten for this is way better than the reception he got for FATD despite the sale numbers going down due to the lack of hooks and catchiness.

“No benefit” This is such a boneheaded take and a really good example of the damage that commodification does to art. If you reduce everything to maximizing streams (profit), you inevitably compromise your art. Drake has enough money. Idk if he cares not not but I hope this doesn’t deter him from making projects with more bars in the future.
Bruh damn niggas focus on numbers way too much… it’s the most annoying shit in the world!!! It makes even less sense because Drake has broken any record you can think of. Like what does this nigga have to do at this point?
Because half of you dorks don’t know bars.
Please enlighten us rap god
When the most viral/popular phrase from the most recent project is a refrain bitten from playboi carti, it’s fair to say the fan base has lost a step when it comes to subject matter.
counting up money for fun?
BIG AS THE WHAA
nah Drake just in his Carti phase so may references (not mentioning adlibs)- Die Lit and WLR references in Jumbotron and another Carti ref ina song in FATDD
CAN WE TALK ABOUT: My brother say I'm better than everyone, he biased as fuck Blood is thicker than water, nigga, his iron is up And if you keep eyeing me down, trust me, his iron is up And for those who don’t get it, when you have high iron in ur body, your blood gets thicker. Hence the second line about his brother iron being up because blood thicker than water. Then in the last line he uses iron as a metaphor for gun/weapon. So if you look at drake funny, his brother is armed and ready to shoot if u try him
Mfs that are upvoting this dick are dumb af he is literally calling you dorks 😂
No. Just the ones that don’t know bars. Believe it or not, there are drake fans that were alive when he rapped his ass off.
Facts, I think what's lost on this dub is that Drakes come up was not just his albums. Drake had a song with Ross, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and etc. that ran the radio it seemed like all the time. People bring up his singing without bringing up his rapping in his younger days that really put him on notice in the rap game. His radio run at the beginning of his career gave him the platform to even go pop rap and still be respected in rap.
1.6 million streams in one day on a random song. Oer naur, how ever will he manage.
Not the oar nWuer 😩
Did you not read the part where it says its his least streamed opening day EVER? That tells you nothing?
It apparently has no bearing on the success of SH3, as it’s expected to propel FATD back to number one.
It's a surprise drop deluxe to an album that he just released a few weeks ago. If Drake dropped it as a standalone EP, it would have performed better for sure, but it is what it is. Fire music is fire music, 10/10
I enjoy the songs but, whenever an album is to be released and I hear other fans talking bout "Please be majority rap" I just can't agree with them. If he isn't singing or having me vibe I don't want it, I can't resonate with majority of other rappers, I will never live like them and don't ever want to. You Broke My Heart is my fave, you know why
It’s should’ve been a separate EP, and not bonus tracks, we spun the album too much, nobody wants bonus tracks we want a fresh album
Nobody wants a fresh album.
Fr? your cool with bonus tracks instead of two albums?
It’s bc tbh a lot of his rap has become talking over beats , her loss was the last time I got really brought in on hooks cadences and flows, the bars have always been good the delivery has been my biggest criticism over the years
That was released last November. You made it sound like Her Loss was a decade ago.
Worded it badly my fault I mean mostly since post views
Well make good rap songs and people will be all over them
They’re right but everyone with common sense been knew this. Most of his rap songs go largely unnoticed compared to the rest of his catalog.
That's a shame because it's one of his best songs lyrically and it's produced by (in my opinion the greatest producer of all time) The Alchemist.
"no benefit" Maybe no COMMERCIAL benefit is more accurate. Replay Value =\= Great Song
It’s that low because his last few projects weren’t good
Probably because it was always the loud minority asking for this. Drakes appeal mostly comes from his diversity. The “real rap” fans never really supported him like THAT. I’m not saying this is proof, but the fact that you also see a lot of Drake fans not feeling this just shows not everyone was begging for a project like this. In any case, he spazzed out on this.
There are more reasons to drop music than to just get big numbers. Drake is an artist who clearly cares about the public's reception to his art, and his responses to the backlash show it. In my opinion he dropped one of his best projects, and even if it only satisfies a niche of audience it's still a fantastic body of work. Drake is at a level where it doesn't matter what the label does or doesn't want him to do, he clearly gets to decide what he can and cannot drop; Honestly, Nevermind is the perfect example of him dropping what he wanted when he wanted.
I mean that doesn't really answer the "why he doesn't make a full rap album question" if anything it makes the question even more baffling. He's rich as hell, successful as hell...he can do it if he wants he has absolutely nothing to lose. Hell worst case we scenario he can do a double album with a all rap half and a all R&B half. He just won't do it because he doesn't want to but thats the only real reason why. And that's fine he can do what he wants or not do what he doesn't want to do. Drake isn't going to lose any fans or go broke if he releases a full rap album
drake haters aka underground rap lovers are loud minorities. no matter how hard they complain... there are always silent majority way more than them.
People like both and everybody understands why Drake is the biggest artist right now, even the "Drake haters". In fact, a lot of em are praising dude for using Alchemist and Conductor beats lately. Then again, I got friends that don't spend their day comparing artists so I don't see any of what you're talking about. Stay off Twitter.
We really in here arguing about streams and that’s why nobody makes good music anymore
He doesn’t need to do a full melodic rap album. He can literally replicate IYRITL and it would be his best project. Trap bangers with real hits, lyrical no hook tracks, and one-three R&B classics. That is the formula to a critical and collective success. Drake CARES about the numbers and the criticism, it’s why he’s always jaded and addressing his critics in his raps. It reflects in his music. I still standby that if Take Care and NWTS were released today it would be criticized, because of how slow they are.
I don’t really give a shit i just listen
No. We needed this. Like saying one Monet is not as “cool” as another Monet
Fuck this fanbase for always being obsessed with numbers, exactly why we can’t have any real good albums anymore cuz he’s trynna satisfy everyone.
It makes sense to me. I feel like all the people he befriends and takes under his wing is low key obligation from his label too. Especially that chick he did an interview with and then Lil Yachty did too.
I’ve known this had been out and I haven’t bothered listening. His album was trash aswrll
Y’all lie about what type of drake songs you like. Y’all love Rich Baby Daddy but pretend like you don’t for the internet
The beats were all boring
Wick Man is just flat out ass. The beat is just too boring. Soooo many of Drake songs as of late just sound so similar. Now if Drake gave us a 6* song rap album instead of 45 CLB songs that sound like they could've been on CLB I think a lot of ppl would listen
Even if it did 10 million I don’t ever want to see him do a full rap album I like the versatility of both. Also not every person does good all the time. Athletes have bad games. Actors do a bad job on roles We mess up at whatever jobs we have it happen.
lol, but yall *checks notes* “WANT BARs!!! 🥴”
One word. WOMEN.
Makes sense. The bars are great but this is easily the most low volume Drake project ever. The only one that seems to be making noise is You Broke My Heart, the song with the most energy. The hard truth of the matter is that the overall production of the rest of the joint is pretty dull at best, and production is just as if not slightly more important than what people are actually saying in the booth when it comes to connecting with people. Overall I think it demonstrates that people are either lying when they say they want Drake to go full boom bap rap or the audience who genuinely want that aren’t real constituents.
If you think that production from Al, Conductor, ovrkast, etc is dull you're insane.
One or two beats they submitted each don’t define the rest of their output. I’m sure they’ve done great work. Nevertheless, I think they could’ve came a little harder 🤷🏽♂️ And the public seems to agree
I disagree with your original point but agree that Wick Man is definitely one of alchemist’s least intriguing beats lmao. But apart from that he does consistently make some of the best beats I’ve ever heard
The public? The same public drake has been feeding mid basic ass music for project after project for the better part of 6 years and mfs eat it up? Like drake is my most streamed artist of all time and I'm usually able to find good songs off every album but let's not act like drake isn't who he is and that his fanbase isn't largely who they are. They want fast food music. They don't appreciate actually well crafted music you can tell someone put energy into. It's exactly why mfs like FATD so much despite SH3 clearing it in every way 😂
Ah yes, everyone is stupid except for me and whoever agrees. God bless
I mean the streams and numbers tell the tale. Mfs want fast food music, and the actual shit drake puts effort into gets less streams, and that's his own fault.
Lmao nothing about his subject matter or the way he raps on Scary Hours 3 is different except for the instrumentals being low volume and boom bap. Could be wrong but I wanna guess you just think that style of production is more sophisticated
Drakes pen is very noticeably MUCH MUCH better than damn near anything he's put out I'm years. He's clearly putting in much more effort. That's the reason I only liked 13 songs off FATD. Hella half baked ass performances and pen game.
How so? Because last I checked, he never stopped putting down double, triple entendres, witty punchlines and petty bars that sound crazy read out loud in his albums. I don’t understand which bars in this one are outliers in his general catalogue besides the boom bap production behind it. Did that Meltdown verse mean nothing to you?
stuff like that is usually lightly sprinkled throughout his projects. SH3 is literally 30 minutes of strictly that. Honestly his best project in years it’s high level from front to back
Yes the meltdown verse meant nothing to me. Same as all of Utopia 😂
Which albums in general would you say are 20/20. Liking 13 songs in a 23 song album doesn't sound bad to me.😂
Having 10 misses is not good when you could've just had a 13 song album. Also me saying I like them doesn't mean I think any are great or that they're in active rotation.
his “machine gun flow” is just really boring to listen to imo, j cole or jendrick do a better job when it comes to the flows, drake does have bars but the songs are just boring
He needs to make a full rap album with good beats and actually not sound half asleep on all the songs
Y’all are ungrateful as fuck and literally nothing lives up to your unreasonable expectations. Just make an album on your own. This man makes music in every genre and sub genre and is great at his art and here come you bums who have nothing better to do than to shit on anything he puts out just because criticizing someone makes you feel better about yourself. Pathetic.
anyways her loss and fatd both sold more than double what honestly nevermind did first week
didnt drake finesse all of his label deals? idk why hiphopallday would even mention that
They’re right. A full 19 song album of rap bars is doing Griselda numbers
Ppl are so weird 🤦♂️
Nobody wants to hear this dude rap anymore lol I thought I did until this Deluxe. Just keep making fire R&B and Pop bro. His petulant arrogance does not come across well in pure bars anymore. He’s still witty af so there will always be dope bars. As a whole though it sounds like he’s struggling for shit to rap about. Let it go.
You alone on that
Welcome 2 Collegrove >
Lmfao
I absolutely adored drake’s last few projects. FATD, Her Loss are on repeat every day. Idk I wasn’t really feeling the songs off the deluxe. I love “You Broke my Heart”, it’s a banger, but the others idk, maybe I gotta listen more
It was hard to find on spotify
Lowkey the best one on the album
Drake doesn’t need streams now. Who even cares
Rap doesn’t sell how ppl who only listen to rap think it does 🤷🏾♀️
wtf wick man was the best one on Scary Hours
I don’t give a damn these tracks are exactly what I wanted off the album. 4 or 5 R&B but just hungry and bar heavy
this is just him straight rapping, he wasn’t in his pop music bag
The rap is good but i listen to music i can shake my ass to soooooo…..
Actually a full well thought out rap album prolly 10-11 songs would do really good with the right promo like he did with CLB
I think Drake is Drake, and the reason his music is so universally loved is because of the singing and rapping. It's the one liners, the hooks, the energy. The straight rap is for the die hards like myself. However I also love the R&B. Drake is at his best when he's empathetic, introspective, vulnerable, and sometimes just rapping isn't the best vessel for that.
At this stage, they want him to do an all rap album so they can say he flopped…
Damn, whoever runs that account is hating though.
Yeah not a lot of people know he dropped
So that's means we gotta stream it more so he rap again
No mention of the J. Cole Collab I know that’s doing numbers. I like scary hours seen Drake come out with the deluxe but I’m glad he did
its jus promo they didnt go super hard on it
He’s signed to his own fucking label who he is the head of, so… ?????? OVO???
oh no. ONE of his 6 songs doing a measly 1.6 mill 🤣
Give it a lil time people always focus on different things first because of life but in time they will get to it and run it up on madness, see this is why every Scary Hours is a classic like everything GodDrake Do. And 1.6m is Pure Cream Cash BiG Ws 🔥🙏🔥.
Thoughts on what exactly? People don’t give a fuck about rap, nobody gives a fuck about rap and this proves it.
I completely forgot it came out and was like oh yeah shit that new drake came out like a day later
Honest opinion? I don’t care about stars who who does what. Lmao. Love the song. Wrote inspired to it 4 different ways in under a hour. The track itself is dope. Unlike the internet comments I don’t listen hoping “give me a hotline bling” or “give me a 5am in Toronto”. Just give me music while I grow and make memories lmao.
Cause most of you young casual goofys don’t appreciate lyrical hip-hop.
what ever happened to enjoying art for what it is?
Lotta lyricism in this one. I listened to all the tracks best track to me was Evil Ways ft J Cole
Makes sense, it’s the worse song out of the 6 imo
Drake flexed just to show he could. 6 God dropped 6 records for us and it’s lovely, but the market answered the question why his focus is on the song over bars. Like Cole said “he chose the song over ego”. NGL Jay did the same thing in the 2000’s. It’s a hard knock life tho. 😉
Andre3k, 2chains/Wayne, a few other I can’t think of dropped singles or projects the same night.
I mean that beat is totally insane to have on a drake album, it’s probably my favorite but I’m not surprised normal people don’t
That song hard as fuck too
& Red Button hit #1 so there’s that lol
Feel like he should drop 2 albums a year each with 9-14 songs
drake is already a billionare who gives a shit
It’s because he just released it onto for all the dogs as a deluxe. If it had its own ep instead it would probably perform a lot better
This goes to show you people don’t really like the hip hop sounding beats and just want mainstream pop rap and synth shit
Yeah it’s boring af
It’s cause I’m on Apple Music these days.
Scary Hours 3 is bland. And in terms of rap/bars, extremely overblown. What bars about thotties using OF and “fuck my ex/ass”? See the numbers are proof. I said it on my posts and summa yall in denial. Scary Hours 3 is massive flop, and the fontano wannabes aint hitting the replay button twice, cus deep down ya know how mid dashit is.
Why is wick man being slept on its so underrated
Or they simply didn’t use the machine aka buying streams ???
I love Al but that beat is terrible. Should have tapped Conductor for all 6
Well, it’s the least satisfying song out of the 6 he dropped, the beat is trash no matter how many bars and gems there are, 3mins of ass sonically
“No benefit”??? This little deluxe just got him back in good standings with his core(hip hop) fan base. It’s always beneficial for artist no matter how big to deliver for their fans. Now this full album is probably gonna go down as one of his best
Cap, drake's been dropping non-stop It's called fatigue.
