That's how you know the success of GNX was astroturfed. Less than a year after it dropped, it was already being outsold by GKMC/DAMN, the 2 albums Kendrick stans/fans actually consume organically. Meanwhile, Drake has had 7-8 albums outselling GNX weekly since the start of 2026.
All the #DotEra talk exposed was how envious Kendrick stans had always been about Drake's run. By July 2025, $$$4U was already outselling GNX, despite the massive boost GNX got after the Super Bowl and the fact that he spent that entire summer performing the album in stadiums.
They're upset because they expected Kendrick to go on an extended run, something that could rival Drake's run of dominance across albums, features and just generally being active. Kendrick didn't do that because he CAN'T, meanwhile Drake is back outside like nothing happened.
Just finished Batman: Knightfall Part I and holyyyyyy. If the next two parts are as good as this first one this is entering the all-time Batman animated film lexicon with Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, The Dark Knight Returns and Under The Red Hood
2024 had the entire West Coast so gassed up, you had obscure weirdos like DJ Phallus coming out the woodwork claiming Kendrick was about to go on a historical 4-year run and everybody had to duck and hide 😂
They really thought he'd cancel his tour because some random openers and his backing band dropped out lmao. They forget that Ed Sheeran has played hundreds of stadium shows without a backing band and only a trusty loop pedal.
Ed Sheeran addresses the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from his tour and says, “What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable.”
“Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran said at the top of Saturday’s show. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that I’ve even done it. You know, it’s normal. But this week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so so sorry.”
Sheeran also said he was “appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine,” describing the suffering caused by the war as a “human tragedy,” while explaining that he has generally sought to keep his concerts focused on “unity, joy, escapism, love” rather than his own political views.

If Kendrick actually won, why is the hip-hopsphere still so angry at Drake? Could it be that their ideal of winning be the results of what Drake is doing and losing is what Kendrick is doing?
5 Things Drake Really Wanted Us to Notice in His ‘FOMO’ Livestream
The music was only part of the message, as Drake used FOMO to spotlight his people, revisit his past, and remind everyone he’s still here.

Gotta wait for the viewership numbers to come in but Neagley S1 is off to a great start critically. Even better knowing that while it hasn't been officially announced yet, S2 of the show has already been filmed and is currently in post-production.
Tyler Perry is keeping blk ppl employed, Ceicly Tyson said she made her first million dollars from a Tyler Perry movie, Taraji said he paid her good money. This is the man yall shit on smh
And you'll still see people act like being a successful streaming act holds no significance. Do you know how much your music has to mean to people for them to actively keep going back to it over the hundreds of thousands of other artists they could be listening to instead?
Reacher S4 is the best season yet. The best fight scenes, the best season finale and I feel like Alan Ritchson has finally figured out all the bolts and screws that make Reacher who he is. Gonna tap in on Neagley next.
He makes a lot more money as Drake the musician/businessman than he'd ever make as an actor. He's still got a foot in Hollywood, he just operates in that industry as an executive producer now and he has a handful of successful projects under his belt in that regard.
I watched FOMO. Drake’s not-so-short film makes me wish it was as an actual short film. Only because I’ve been anticipating his transition back into acting for years. I have my theory on why it hasn’t happened yet. But I’m curious to know what you guys think.
