@PVerde79@hunkyhippo25 Its Future, he has an absolutely massive fanbase who has loved his music for 15+ years. Why would he alienate most of them leaning into an UG sound to appeal to 15 year olds on Twitter.
There’s a reason no one from the current UG blows up, because they are weak to most people
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 Ah so we have arrived at the point when you admit that artists from different eras should be judged differently. Thank you, you have proven my initial point.
Artists like Hov, Nas, Snoop, DMX, OutKast, Lauryn Hill, Cube, etc all have classics, but are from a different era
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 An album can still be timeless and not consumed by the masses. Some music is not made for mass appeal.
Stevie Wonder got classics, undeniable great. His music is not getting spun much by today’s generation.
You value numbers over quality, which is fine, but at least admit it.
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 My Turn is my most streamed album of all time so you not making a point. I love that album, it is a huge classic
Other albums with less success than it can also be classics. You just not intelligent enough to find the nuance in these discussions.
"Number big is good. Small bad"
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 Aight bro you got it. If someone wants to come on here and say future only got one classic then they just an idiot.
Imma let you live that way, but just know that no one thinks like you. If someone who claims to love rap music can say Monster isn’t a classic then they a poser.
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 So there are no classic albums or tapes that aren’t on Billboard right now, or don’t have a lot of weeks on there?
What about Monster by Future? Or Barter 6 by Thug? YRN 2 by Migos? Late Registration? Savage Mode? Rodeo?
Not classics?
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 How is that a diss? I listened to Pray 4 Love like crazy in 2020-2022, especially I Remember and Rag2riches.
but my point is no sane person can argue it’s a bigger classic than The Chronic or C4 because it spent more weeks on billboard. Or are you disputing that?
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 So Illmatic is not a classic?
Me against the world not a classic?
The Chronic not a classic?
Tha Carter II or IV not a classic?
So Far Gone not a classic?
But I guess Pray 4 Love by Rod Wave is a classic over them since that’s done 200+ weeks on Billboard.
Not a good metric.
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 Nah I can’t take this argument serious at all. There are plenty classic albums that don’t chart. MJ only had his greatest hits on the charts until his Biopic came out, you telling me Off The Wall wasn’t a classic until two months ago?
Also greatest hits don’t count as an album.
@For3verQuan@lostinvegas83 You’re comparing albums that came out 30 years ago during physical era vs albums that came out 15 years ago in a more modern era.
Not disagreeing that Drake is bigger and more popular, but no one from Hov era is on billboard anymore. Even Em only has a greatest hits on there.
@CoachJaCollins@awgecentral You twisting yourself up so bad. Your original point was that Rocky had to ask Drake for permission to perform this track. Which is not true at all.
So why are we continuing with hypothetical music business scenarios
@CoachJaCollins@awgecentral Omg man, you are making up hypothetical scenarios to suit your own fantasies.
These things can happen yes, it’s absolutely not the case for this song. Drake has no ownership or publishing rights from it. You can literally search it up on ASCAP and BMI databases.
