like is it a hipster thing? this man drake has been the most popular artist since he debuted with no signs of stopping, breaks record upon record, and spearheaded the power shift from rock to hiphop as being the dominant consumed music genre. the proof is in the putting.

discuss.

Apparently they were originally supposed to be named The Drockles until the lead singer, Drako Ono, had a dream about it and subsequently changed the spelling.

Based off of numbers and accessibility it's not surprising.

Doesn't mean he deserves it.

Modern artists are so reliant on production teams that you can barely call them artists.

No matter how big a band gets in todays world...THEYLL NEVER have the same impact bands like beatles made back them. Bands that were pioneers in their genres. Music was much more special back then. You either bought an album, waited for the song to come up on the radio or saw them live in concert for a change to hear music. Now its so much readily available at every device that it has lost how special music used to be.

You wont see a movie about Drake decades from now..or pretty much from any other popular artist in today's world. So no matter how much listens they have on spotify or views on youtube theyll never compare in terms admiration, fandom and cult-like following bands used to have. #boomerrantover

Well that's also not true but rock was probably on its last legs of being in the running for #1 in the early 2000s. And that's giving rock a lot of leeway here. 90s gangster rap probably took its place way before.

Also Drake wouldn't exist without Kanye West.

"Michael Jackson's Thriller, estimated to have sold 66 million copies worldwide, is the best-selling album.[4] Although sales estimates for Thriller have been as high as 120 million copies, these sales figures are unreliable.[5] Jackson also currently has the highest number of albums on the list with five, Celine Dion has four, while Whitney Houston, The Beatles and Madonna each have three."

Yeah...bigger than MJ my ass.

Justin Bieber literally had a movie a few years ago, what exactly is stopping Drake or any other artist/band from putting out a movie?

also, i dont think anyone, at any point, in any place, ever, in the modern day, has said the beatles are more popular than drake meaning right now

more influential? more important? more successful in their day? those are separate discussions that the beatles (who are not that good) would win every time

He is being silly about it but he isnt wrong. There is just sooo much more music available today. Simply by having so many choices it is way harder for one group or artist to take such a strong hold.

Does Drake have a song called The Drake Song? That's my only guess at a song that he sings.

There is endless music out there now, people don't need to just listen to whatever the generic popular names are anymore.
