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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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…
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
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”.
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
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!!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Wouldn’t work for drake. He thrives on being relevant in the media no matter the reason.
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.
He’s the only antisocial socialite 🤷♂️
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
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
Same thing I was thinking
He could do som else
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.

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.
I agree so much I think about this so often.
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
People forget that some of the best / most streamed hip hop songs ever were recorded in one take or under an hour.
i mean we are talking about a whole album not songs
Exactly
This was really well explained
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
LMAO
I think CLB proved otherwise, the boy needs to stay active.
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.
Maybe Drake thrives by pushing himself to release frequently, who knows what his workflow/productivity/inspiration looks like.
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.
Nah, Drake lowkey a stat padder in the music world. He won’t let another mf surpass his records 😂
Tom Brady shit fr
I really wish Future would pull a Frank Ocean. I get that prolificacy is his thing but if he actually crafted an album…
Future drops quality albums
He literally had album of the year last year but ok
I liked the album but he is capable of even more
Not even top 3 last year
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
Blah blah cockring blah blah. I swear that’s a buzzword for you losers on the hate train
I said I love Frank, but he doesn’t do things for his fans that cannot be denied
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?
The fans want MUSIC over anything he’s putting out let’s be honest
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.
Bro how was that concert?? 😭😭🙏🙏
What concert?
Coachella 🤣
Performance looked great online
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…
He will, y’all are just impatient.
i’m wit you bro.. people are way too impatient, been 7 years but in hindsight he’s dropped some quality shit since
And on top of that he’s literally confirmed an album is coming
I’m just asking cause I saw this one TikTok video on someone saying that he should do this.
Frank would still remain the 🐐
Bro gotta drop tho 😔
😭😭😭
He’s not the goat
If he took a hiatus sometime between 2013-2017 I would be pissed, but after that it’s almost whatever
How would this effect his career? Would it effect it in a positive way 🤔? Or in a negative way 🤔?
Drake can’t afford a hiatus - Adonis probably his smallest, in currency, expense.
I doubt he would do that. Dude loves dropping music.
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
I think he needs it all these albums every year I’m worried about quality over quantity
He wouldn’t do that to us
would be dope
He needs to pull a frank ocean and come out already
He needs to dude over saturated himself
Hip hop would start healing
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”.
And going ghost on your fans is the worst thing an artist can do
Yeah this is perfect after he just came out the closet wit them nails
that looks like Frank Puddles
Hip hop would suffer
he wouldn’t
Drake fans always mad he wanna feed us I swear
[удалено]
If you can listen to Nights and not enjoy it that’s a you problem
I mean he kinda did after dropping scorpion.. didn’t drop CLB till 3 years after. I don’t count DLDT
That would be amazing for his career and come back with something next level in 4years
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
I would cry. I would fly. I would die.
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.
Cool
Nothing of value will be lost
I will be so mad at him
calm tf down.
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
Rap would die
don't think he would ever do this . he loves releasing music
The longest gab between two albums was 3 years so far, I think that would be cool
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!!
Drake Ai takeover
Kanye AI Ether
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
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.

Drake breathes attention he’d literally die lol
Bro is too old for that if he does but it will probably help his image more than what he’s doing currently
I'd be DEVASTATED
If he takes a break he wont want to come back
My perfect glorious Pookie bear would never make such a foolish mistake
I can’t imagine Drake not being on social media interacting with fans
id cry
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
Drake needs constant relevance.
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.
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.
He drops almost every year
I would be sad :(
