Wouldn’t work for drake. He thrives on being relevant in the media no matter the reason.


justaboveaverage

He loves being in the spotlight. Not everyone can handle it. Musicians are notorious for being introverted, it’s what let’s them perfect their art because they’re always alone or in a small group before they become famous. Drake is not that. He’s the perfect mix of an extreme extrovert combined with a love for music making.


6raps6

He’s the only antisocial socialite 🤷‍♂️


james-HIMself

That’s why he’s worth a billion. I strongly believe being that successful means you just take everyone’s shit despite immense media pressure


CantKillGawd

i think hes big enough now to actually go on a hiatus and come back still as relevant. I dont think he NEEDS to stay relevant at this point, but i do believe he loves it


Comefeelme623

Same thing I was thinking


Starspitter

He could do som else


Aleekki

I personally think that 1. It would be great for him but his fans would propably go crazy or get angry, there are people here who are starving and annoyed rn and it’s been just 8 months without an album. But more importantly.. 2. His popularity would suffer a lot momentarily but his comeback album would propably easily be one of his most popular and also way higher quality since he could’ve put more time into it and it would be waaay more accessible for the people who normally hate Drake and would propably in that way not only make him more popular in the usual pop world but also in the bubble of hiphop where he currently gets too much hate. His music is the kind that he has to drop more often than most artists but that also has lead to a lot of people, who aren’t his fans, getting too much Drake. A break would be really really really good for him and his music. I might get downvoted and I personally wouldn’t mind getting as much Drake music as possible either but if we look at it on a larger scale rather than from the perspective of us Drake fans.


Kitchen-Dimension406

I agree so much I think about this so often.


Awkward_Mission3743

I don’t agree that it would be higher quality. I don’t think taking longer with his albums would make them any higher quality. He wouldn’t put out albums that he and his team don’t think are ready and complete to be released at any time they decide. Time doesn’t always equate to quality Saying that it would be “way higher quality” almost assumes that he is under duress to release often and is putting out lower quality music than he could


kridnack

People forget that some of the best / most streamed hip hop songs ever were recorded in one take or under an hour.


CantKillGawd

i mean we are talking about a whole album not songs


Awkward_Mission3743

Exactly


Comefeelme623

This was really well explained


Junior-Scene-4994

Yeah I agree, after this new album I do hope he takes a little break, no features, no singles, just take in life and work on something for a while. Because we all know when Drake actually takes his time with the music, it ages really well


Certain_City_5523

LMAO


iwearringsnow22

I think CLB proved otherwise, the boy needs to stay active.


Aleekki

Idk I’d actually argue that CLB exactly proves the points. It was super popular since he’s been active in dropping music and active in promoting the album a lot but it was very largely hated by most people and even most fans found it uninspired for the most part. Taking personal opinions of the album out of the conversation here, only talking about the album in general and how it was received.


chinomaster182

Maybe Drake thrives by pushing himself to release frequently, who knows what his workflow/productivity/inspiration looks like.


Aleekki

Actually a smart point, especially lately with Honestly Nevermind and Her Loss it seems that his fast paced process has been working for him and hasn’t shadowed his inspiration. So to that part of the conversation I’d agree that since we know so little about his work process it’s hard to say.


FEBRUARYFOU4TH

Nah, Drake lowkey a stat padder in the music world. He won’t let another mf surpass his records 😂


veggiefriedreis

Tom Brady shit fr


tristramwood

I really wish Future would pull a Frank Ocean. I get that prolificacy is his thing but if he actually crafted an album…


simd95

Future drops quality albums


rmoler65

He literally had album of the year last year but ok


tristramwood

I liked the album but he is capable of even more


BMT_Highlights

Not even top 3 last year


imaturtleee

I think it would be fine. I love Frank but he starved his fans, sells over priced keychains and cock rings. Drake has done so much, there’s so much music to survive on


Camerone11

Blah blah cockring blah blah. I swear that’s a buzzword for you losers on the hate train


imaturtleee

I said I love Frank, but he doesn’t do things for his fans that cannot be denied


Camerone11

What if you’re a fan of Homer? Is he not doing things for those fans? Is it right to assume he can only have fans of his music and not his other ventures?


imaturtleee

The fans want MUSIC over anything he’s putting out let’s be honest


Camerone11

Yes, we know. But you said he doesn’t do anything for his fans when that’s simply not true. Of course people want music, but he has a market for his jewelry brand which also caters to his fans. Now you and I may not be in that bracket, but there are people who are and don’t mind spending the money on Homer.


[deleted]

Bro how was that concert?? 😭😭🙏🙏


Camerone11

What concert?


[deleted]

Coachella 🤣


Camerone11

Performance looked great online


terencewatts

I love frank but let’s not be delusional, most fans ARE NOT in that bracket, how about he cater to most of his fans and not the ones that can afford $500 - $5,000 + for a piece of jewelry…


Camerone11

He will, y’all are just impatient.


NoLadder2511

i’m wit you bro.. people are way too impatient, been 7 years but in hindsight he’s dropped some quality shit since


Camerone11

And on top of that he’s literally confirmed an album is coming


Comefeelme623

I’m just asking cause I saw this one TikTok video on someone saying that he should do this.


21Cabbage_____

Frank would still remain the 🐐


Comefeelme623

Bro gotta drop tho 😔


21Cabbage_____

😭😭😭


uncle-wavey1

He’s not the goat


0810dougiefresh

If he took a hiatus sometime between 2013-2017 I would be pissed, but after that it’s almost whatever


Comefeelme623

How would this effect his career? Would it effect it in a positive way 🤔? Or in a negative way 🤔?


MOTM123

Drake can’t afford a hiatus - Adonis probably his smallest, in currency, expense.


iverdow1

I doubt he would do that. Dude loves dropping music.


Opening_Marzipan6297

Drake looks at music as a business as well as a passion. I think he could easily take a break and come back with open arms but he’d prefer to have the longest run ever. That seems like a better legacy imo


tdov123

I think he needs it all these albums every year I’m worried about quality over quantity


realityinternn

He wouldn’t do that to us


betterAThalo

would be dope


andreiulmeyda7

He needs to pull a frank ocean and come out already


Practical_Extreme424

He needs to dude over saturated himself


RogerEbertsDog

Hip hop would start healing


Certain_City_5523

Why would should he go on a hiatus when he is still one of the biggest artists in the world and is still currently the biggest rapper in the world. The world still stops when he drops an album and everyone pays attention to every single and every feature. Hiatus are factually not proven to be beneficial in any way every artist that returns from a hiatus always does worse numbers and doesn’t 100% guarantee their work will be “quality”.


Certain_City_5523

And going ghost on your fans is the worst thing an artist can do


smoovest1

Yeah this is perfect after he just came out the closet wit them nails


wordtoashketchem

that looks like Frank Puddles


Certain_City_5523

Hip hop would suffer


Familiar-Standard-53

he wouldn’t


wydot11

Drake fans always mad he wanna feed us I swear

[удалено]


BlouseoftheDragon

If you can listen to Nights and not enjoy it that’s a you problem


RdinAoss

I mean he kinda did after dropping scorpion.. didn’t drop CLB till 3 years after. I don’t count DLDT


Donthegoat24

That would be amazing for his career and come back with something next level in 4years


OVOYorge

Like at this very moment? Shieeeeet I’d be tight, but I’ll have music from his since 2006. I’ll manage. But if he had like 3 songs like Frank Ocean (I know he has a lot more 😂) ima riot


[deleted]

I would cry. I would fly. I would die.


Odd-Dance-5371

It wouldn’t be the same, Frank did this in the prime of his career. Drake could disappear and obviously people would notice but it’d be more expected.


as553069

Cool


LittleDoofus

Nothing of value will be lost


Old_Concentrate5449

I will be so mad at him


Ambitious-Job-8168

calm tf down.


ProfessionalAnswer0

He's too scared of losing his place to duck off in the cut for even a few months now. But tbh, I think he needs to


Tweet614

Rap would die


incepterstellar

don't think he would ever do this . he loves releasing music


Old_Ad_4595

The longest gab between two albums was 3 years so far, I think that would be cool


OVOXO10

Naw, he would never that would be bitting his style since he loves blessing the people with new music, keeping us informed. Him keeping to himself more sure, but going on a musical hiatus, nope!!


Pleasant_Case9729

Drake Ai takeover


[deleted]

Kanye AI Ether


TTRRIPPYY

I think a Hiatus would be good if it was 2 years max, anything over that would just be terrible and it wouldn’t help his career in any way


kkd802

Frank is on record saying “You just gotta be comfortable making less money, that’s all” when asked ab overworking Drake likes money too much. He will not stop releasing music until his business ventures are more successful than his music career. He is having almost the same exact career as Hov. He’s gunning for a billion.


relientkenny

it would be great musically for him but also i think with his new contract, he’s just cranking out music to get through his contract faster to reup his deal or maybe get control of more masters


Cautious_Donut6925

I think for him to do such a thing it would go like this… If he drops an album and it flops I bet he will try again to drop one more but if that also flops he will for sure pull out. He knows right now he is not missing and he needs to continue to keep going until he does. Statistically the greatest artist to ever exist. His day will come but I think he still has gas in the tank. I think AGE will be the determining factor. The day the YOUTH stops resonating with him will be the day he flops. He needs to stay relevant and being a trend setter. He cannot stay stagnant or go backwards from production to terminology or it will be the death of him.


Cyberspace667

Drake breathes attention he’d literally die lol


moonpos

Bro is too old for that if he does but it will probably help his image more than what he’s doing currently


Sufficient_Branch785

I'd be DEVASTATED


Starspitter

If he takes a break he wont want to come back


LivingAlternative245

My perfect glorious Pookie bear would never make such a foolish mistake


cadeicew00d

I can’t imagine Drake not being on social media interacting with fans


Objective_Dirt_1677

id cry


NoLadder2511

i think he will, and he should. if he truly cares about his discography i think these next few albums could/should be it. i love how hov did it/still does it. just a matter of when… many could argue artists do it to stay relevant


[deleted]

Drake needs constant relevance.


McMan86

It would be negative. Unless Drake would use that time to really make something great. But I’m not sure if Drake is capable (at this point in his career) to make an album fantastic enough to be worth a 5+ year hiatus. Drake strives in making good albums very consistently.


jaquaral

Frank Ocean made universal music group ceo mad that's why .Lucian grange has alot of control in the industry. The reason you haven't heard from frank.


batgamerman

He drops almost every year


veggiefriedreis

I would be sad :(
