Drake keeps rewriting the Billboard record books. 📈
Since debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009 with “Best I Ever Had,” @Drake has built one of the most dominant chart runs in music history.
Over the years, he became the first artist ever to reach 100, 200, 300 — and now 400 career Hot 100 entries. He also owns records for the most top 2, top 3, top 5, top 10, top 20 and top 40 hits in Hot 100 history, along with the most No. 1 debuts ever.
As Drake’s 'ICEMAN' era continues dominating the charts, Billboard is breaking down every major Hot 100 record he’s broken and the milestones still left to chase: https://t.co/N7t3sWkzr4

Next time I’d love to see an actual journalist interview that man…let’s filter out the BS scripted Roc Nation approved questions and ask the real challenging/uncomfortable questions… that my friend was a paid ad not an interview..let’s get wiser and use our discernment
Jay-Z shares his thoughts on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, explaining why he believes it went too far:
"In this day and age, it's so much negative stuff that comes with it, you almost wish it didn't happen... It's almost like it's a final thing. Now, people that like Kendrick hate Drake no matter what he makes, no matter what he says."
"We've just grown so much that, I guess I'm going to say it, I don't know if battling needs to be a part of the culture anymore."
