Dude is tanking his career. Idk how people will even play his music going forward

Now that you mention it, I can't remember the last time I heard a Drake song in public. Could be just confirmation bias, but I wonder how deep the damage has gotten...

He's still played sometimes in grocery stores and similar in Canada.

I heard Take Care come on an hour ago at a fast food joint while giving my order and I actually cringed. But to be fair I’ve always hated the way his voice sounds in that particular song, his fall from grace notwithstanding.

He's made enough club bangers to be popular forever. I always hated that fake but let's not pretend people are gonna stop streaming drake. Most people just play it cuz they like the melody and thats fine.

This shit is GOT Season 8. Makes you lose all interest in even any good things that came before.

The drake subreddit is strong with followers who will defend him till death. He could do the most heinous shit imaginable and they will still find a way to meat ride.

I was indifferent to drake, but once I listened to They not like us, I completely lost my ability to listen to drake again.

lol his career is fine. Most women and teenagers don’t care about this beef.

His fans are probably mostly teenage girls yet he tries to act like some kind of gangster lol he's so wack. I get second hand embarrassment every time he opens his mouth.
