Drake's 'Views' Album Becomes First to Reach Over 1 Billion Streams on Apple Music

- A Guy Who's Never Heard a Drake Album Front to Back

(Also, people have had Drake on repeat long before Apple cosigned him, he's been on the Billboard charts for 400+ consecutive weeks now, longer than any other artist in history)

hahaha

you better go buy yourself some justin bieber albums to listen to front to back so you can safely say he's a talentless hack next opportunity you get

congratulations on being truly old. You made it.

maybe he has actual taste and doesn't bother with today's mainstream musical mediocrity?

Err, you may not personally like his music, but he's as far from a talentless hack there is.

are you comparing him to your high school class mates who had a rock band?

you wanna try comparing him to some actual artists?

The future of Apple becomes clearer every day ... phones, watches, and Apple Music.

If that is true they haven't got much of a future.

Mate, considering it has been 17 years since I graduated, probably not. He's a talented songwriter and great vocalist, and among the most successful pop artists of all time. Might want to try broadening your horizons some time instead of spending your precious time trolling forums.

Oh I see you are back from your forced holiday. Hope you had a nice time out.

You can tell when somebody isn't a real music fan/doesn't know anything about music when they say stuff like this.

baw i dont like the music some guy on the internet listens to, ITS FAKE MUSIC BRO

I honestly used to be like that until I grew up.

cute

so what's the highest selling album you've actually recorded on? let's compare for a sec

then we'll talk about who does or doesn't know music

You just contradicted yourself.

You were arguing that high sales doesn't necessarily translate to musical ability, and then you went ahead and made that link in your own defence.

This is all starting to make sense

Cool. You're still not a real musician if you think mainstream music is not "real music."

There is no such thing as "real music" and "fake music" - people have different tastes, and that's something every musician who graduated from MySpace knows at their core.

there's music that conveys emotion and there's music that doesn't

that **** you feel a need to defend here has jack all to do with the former

How much and what of Drake's music have you actually listened to?

there's music that conveys emotion and there's music that doesn't

that **** you feel a need to defend here has jack all to do with the former

Drake's music and hip/hop rap in general absolutely convey emotion. It's just not your typical melancholy stuff. It leans more towards anger, arrogance, and motivational.

 

[Suckfest 9001]

There's music that conveys emotion to you and there's music that does not (but that does convey emotion to millions of others).

I gotta say, this edgy music elitism thing isn't cool. Tone it down and open your mind to the fact that your taste in music isn't the "correct" taste in music - there is no "correct" taste in music. That's why it's called "taste."
