DMX talking about jay z shelving his album to limit competition.
funny how this clip never gets recycled like the drake part from the same interview, even though dmx later took back everything he said about drake
One thing yall gotta know about Kendrick he don’t give a fuck about being at the top everybody get A Turn & he know his spot is unmatched & when he pop out the world know he coming strong rather it’s for the moment or to stay consistently

Whether it’s Jay-Z vs Drake or Kendrick vs Drake…

If you think of Drake do you think of America or Canada? Toronto comes to mind when anyone thinks of Drake just the way Compton comes to mind when you think of Kendrick. Hip hop is a black American invention and Drake was largely influenced by it courtesy his black American dad
Physical era was label controlled, streaming era is fan controlled. Label can be pushing a particular song for number one but whatever the fans fuck with more always end up as number 1. Drake broke records now the talk is all about context. Just congratulate him and move on
🚨 Ebro and Eddie say Drake’s No. 1 records and Michael Jackson’s No. 1 records shouldn’t be compared without context
They say, Drake absolutely deserves credit for breaking the record…
but charting in the streaming era is very different from charting in the physical sales era
They point out that more than 50% of Drake’s No. 1 records involved collaborations or featured artists, adding another layer to the comparison
Ebro says people celebrate the record without discussing how different the eras and the paths to No. 1 actually were
“There’s a physical media era and a streaming era.”

Mind you he came into rap saying he doesn't want to get into any beef. Living over 10 years as a rapper getting hate from all over definitely made him toughen up still he rarely acts tough outside music.
Fans buying vinyls are just for memorabilia. People primarily consume music through streaming in this era. Cars do not even come with Cd players anymore

Drake pays homage to Michael by the way and no sane person think Drake will eclipse Michael. However tocsay Drake don't have quality is you talking out of your ass
The whole Drake thing. You see, People often confuse popularity with quality.
Drake is popular, but to compare him with Michael Jackson is a slap to not just quality but dedication to art. Drake's artistry is less ambitious, less transformative.
Michael Jackson occupies an exceptionally rare category in popular culture. He IS (present) not just a successful musician. He is a global cultural phenomenon, a performance innovator, a music video revolutionary, and one of the most influential entertainers in history.
So when people compare him to contemporary artists purely using streaming numbers and chart performance, we ignore the bigger picture.
.@Drake has 23 songs on this week's #HotRapSongs chart, setting a new record for the most simultaneous chart entries in a single week.
