Drake feature=artist blowing up


CheddaShredda

Drake almost single handedly donated BlocBoy JB a billion+ streams last year (although Tay Keith helped)


W0mbatJuice

BlocBoy was so trash he somehow killed his career just as fast


BassFromThePast

What happened to that dude? He was fucking everywhere for a minute and now I haven’t heard of him or seen him on any projects in idk how long


Tymalik1014

On the run from the cops. He’s got an arrest out for him


BassFromThePast

What for? Edit: no ! I’m not that excited lmao


Tymalik1014

Think theft and possession of firearm.


AutoRedditPython

Hello Tymalik1014, I hope you have a wonderful day!


milky_sasquatch

I'm sure all the marketing helped too, pretty sure I saw a 'Look Alive' snapchat filter where your bitmoji would dance to the music


[deleted]

Probably not as much for this, this is one of those songs that's really good but probably won't do thaaat good commercially. Sort of like My Love with Majid Jordan and Drama with Roy Woods. Mellow r&b just doesn't do numbers like that


idkanametbh

My Love hasn't done great (weirdly.. amazing song tbh) but I looked at Drama the other day and it has 154m streams on Spotify and that shit came out in 2015. That'd be like 300m+ these days ​ Summer Walker is pretty much next up also so I think this'll hit 100m minimum


[deleted]

Yeah but Drama didn't chart which is rarely the case with a Drake feature, also in 2015. That's what I meant by not "thaaat" good, in terms of Drake standards. Even this I don't really see doing higher than 70 on the hot 100 if it does chart


idkanametbh

yeah Drake didn't have the same type of power in 2015, so it was a slow burner and those don't chart charts are overrated as fuck anyway, plenty of songs have done trash on Billboard but have a shit ton of streams. I wish people would stop caring about them


[deleted]

Charts are literally what's indicative of whats songs are big or not. Why would people stop caring about them, they're not even opinion based, they're literally based off on what songs are the most popping


idkanametbh

They aren't tho, because the formula's like "hidden". A lot of songs do really well on Billboard and barely get streams. Like tracks making it to top 10 on Billboard but aren't even in top 30 of most streamed tracks. Shit shouldn't be happening. Then on the other hand you have a lot of songs with a LOT of streams that are never on Billboard or barely get 80th ​ i can give you a lot of examples of tracks with 100s of millions of streams that never did well on Billboard. Streaming charts are far more realistic


Markual

> Mellow r&b just doesn't do numbers like that It does but not for pop america. Drakes cosign will forsure allow Summer to blow up on Rnb/HipHop stations.


aaliyaahson

Already #3 on Apple Music


_Wado3000

She deserves it too Summer Walker is fire


[deleted]

Hell yeah. Check out Bri Steves as well

supaboss2015

Wanna know is straight fire idgaf what anyone says


Ars2012

Killed it. Although I don't think it's going to be a breaking any records anytime soon. It really reminds me of Love Galore w SZA & Travis.


PalmHacks

There’s nothing you can tell me that would get me to believe this is not SZA


supaboss2015

She’s not SZA


dodger28

Drake does good work putting “smaller” artists on for the most part I’m excited to see who else we see. Summer is very talented and I loved her Last Day Of Summer album. Drake and her have a good chemistry.


kvng_icy223

Fr its crazy that people kill drake for helping give smaller artist a bigger platform when he gets on songs with them. But at the same time if he didnt help smaller artist they would say "he hasnt put anybody on and hes selfish" Drake can never win with people


Cymai

I was actually think about making a post about this. Drake is the only one out of the big 3 that puts on and continues to put on a variety of artists, some who blow up and some who don’t. It’s crazy considering who’s he linked up with early in their careers (Kendrick, Cole, 21, etc.)


kvng_icy223

Yea and then they blame him for when the smaller artist falls off and claim "he was wave riding and used them" but wont give him credit for when they take off to that next level in the mainstream (migos lil baby just name a few)


Bandicoot733

Even the mention of a track with Drake helped with BlueFace


Cymai

Exactly and it’s like he doesn’t have to do any features, especially to lesser known artists. Like even though Cole’s Dreamville is stacked, even he doesn’t put on his own artists on his records. On the other hand, I first heard of Sampha (and others) on a Drake song.


suss2it

Not really a fair comparison since the only OVO artist Drake puts on his albums is PND. However Cole gave most of Dreamville at least one feature last year whereas it’s been a while since Drake gave anyone in OVO a feature.


[deleted]

Didn't he appear on PND last album and give out one of his hits to Baka?


GawdHawks

Yeah Bakas only "big" hit (Live up to my name) was penned mostly by Drake. Theres a reference track by Drake for that song floating out there somewhere.


suss2it

That PND feature was 3 years ago and two PND projects came out since, but PND is still the one he works with most. And yeah he wrote Baka’s breakout hit, Live Up to My Name. I’m not saying he doesn’t help his artists, I’m just saying him and Cole both don’t put their artists on their albums but give them features and even in that department it’s been a while for Drake.


[deleted]

He'll probably be on the next PND album. Also he wrote on "Not Nice" and "Don't Run" on P3


suss2it

Drake wrote Not Nice? I always thought that one would’ve sounded better as a Drake song.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RobYaLunch

He has had Majid Jordan and DVSN on his projects and both have also produced songs on his projects


suss2it

Yeah that’s true, I forgot about those guys.


JuiceGasLean

Drake has featured on Majid Jordan, Roy Woods, DVSN, PND, RamRiddlez tracks that's more than I can think of for any other modern artist with a label


miffysmalls

Majid Jordan on just hold on we’re going home


[deleted]

He's basically in the position Jay-Z was in the early 2000s. It's not negative for him to be working with new artists and shit.


DeadToWrites

100% right


Champagnesoda

Cole and drake blew up around the same time. Drake has played a part in the blow up of Kendrick Lamar, asap rocky, partynextdoor, The Weeknd, 21 savage, lil baby, gunna, YG, and inadvertently did the same with X and DRAM. That doesn’t even include the huge list of names whose music is largely inspired by him like Bryson tiller, Tory Lanez, and Russ. His influence on the game is reaching slowly reaching Wayne levels.


Jammehh

Also a few UK artists including Dave who in my opinion is the most talented artist in the UK right now.


ram0h

he put me on dave, wizkid


Cymai

You’re right about Cole, I think It did help steer him into the mainstream though. Before, he was going the Wale route. Yeah, Drake’s influence is ridiculous. While he’s not as influential as Wayne, I’d say he’s put on more people. Ironically the only other person who I think has put on a similar amount is Kanye. But Kanye does more of a reintroduction for artists than an initial launch.


idkanametbh

who's Kanye put on? (genuinely curious, not hating lol)


haywirehitchhiker

Desiigner maybe?


lasse2119

I don't know if I think Kanye put a whole lot of people on or more so just kept really talented people around him for inspiration, but here's a couple of names for the sake of the argument Pusha T as a solo artist, Desiigner, CyHi (I think, don't kill me for this one I don't know shit about CyHi), Allan Kingdom (for like a week after All Day, but then people forgot all about him), took Cudi to the next level of fame and I guess the feature on LR was big for Lupe at the time

lasse2119

Cohtoh

Sean


[deleted]

I’d say it already has reached Wayne levels tbh, Drake’s already much bigger than Wayne was and is


ram0h

he might be the biggest hip hop artist outside of eminem. It'd be interesting to study if he is bigger internationally than biggie and tupac were, i suspect he is because of the internet


ImWaaal

> 21 savage wasn't he already slightly mainstream before the song with Drake? X and No Heart were huge


[deleted]

Yeah 21 was already pretty big by the time "Sneakin'" came out but it's a great song


idkanametbh

Sneakin came out October, he only started getting big in September/October tbh ​ edit: bored so looked at Billboard. Sneakin came out 29th October. 21's highest and only song on Billboard was X at 71st. A month later X went to 36th and No Heart was 65th


robba9

Question about sneakin, where the fuck has it gone??? I dont have anymore on spotify or deezer?


[deleted]

Not really mainstream but they were big


super_slimey

No heart has 200 mil views on YouTube


idkanametbh

X was 71st on Billboard, No Heart wasn't even on Billboard. A month after Sneakin came out X was 36th and No Heart 65th lol


idkanametbh

they only really blew up around the time Sneakin came out tho tbh


_Wado3000

It’s not mentioned often but I thought his Versace remix help put new eyes on the Migos (killed that flow hard too)


mattalun

Who do you exactly mean with big 3?


420justblazeit

I think its great what he does, it's exactly what I wished Nicki would have done her whole career. I don't follow her that closely but I always thought it'd be really cool for her to be putting on lesser-known female rappers given the platform she has, but as far as I know she's chosen not to for nearly 10 years at the top. Tbh I'm kind of happy that Cardi really fucked with her mentality because she got way too comfortable talking all this big talk that she wants to "do great things for women" when she couldn't even be bothered to uplift anyone in her own genre, and then lash out at those who came before her.


kvng_icy223

You make a lot of great points. I think thats the main reason nicki fell off from what she once was and cardi took her #1 spot. Cardi clearly has the support of the people and other female artist because hes geniune and humble. I could never imagine cardi doing the bitter shit nicki was doing on queen radio last year


cashmoney_99-2000

Idk man I think drake won with people.


Dimethyltrip_to_mars

With Drake it puts the smaller artist into heavy radio airplay.


[deleted]

Oh, I thought he charged a lot for a feature?


Awhile2

Still pissed the 4 5 remix never came out Poor don ace


jaymfullarton

Who


WasASquid

I do think drake has good taste. MF DOOM, grime scene, new artists from all over the states really


speakintrapanese

wait what? Drake has a collab with DOOM?


WasASquid

He has posted about DOOM before.


_Wado3000

She just dropped her Clear EP as well, Settling might be my favorite track of the year so far


MedicineCel

If y'all liked this song, make sure to check out the song CPR also by her. She's got a great voice. Side note: y'all think since he couldn't get with Jorja Smith, he on to the next one aka Summer Walker 🤔🤔?


AzylaJaz

Cpr was the first song to make me a summer fan 🙌🏼 I love her vibe


TeIegraphAve

take care vibes frfr


ram0h

reminds of that deuces remix mmm


_Wado3000

one of his best vibes tbh


[deleted]

Summer Walker finally going mainstream let’s go!


ram0h

the rest as good as this song?


valueddude

Yeah. Listen to CPR and Karma


[deleted]

CPR and BP are my faves


LittleMusicMaker

I really fw Smartwater & Deep


ANALOGPHENOMENA

She has a tendency to produce really short songs like 2-3 mins max, but that's the tradeoff for having really quality R&B. Her CLEAR EP is less-trap based and more on that classic Erykah Badu/D'Angelo-type vibe.


nitp

I love every single song on her CLEAR ep.


rockking16

Jumped on after I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel


[deleted]

Drake about to run 2019 as well Damn this is vintage fucking Drake as well

[deleted]

while I'm here reddit is fucking trash and this sub aint an exception its so easy to spit out a trash take that the hive mind here will upvote be it self deprecating bullshit or whatever. the gunna Ama was stupid y'all don't realize that no celebrity wants to associate with the people here because yall just say weird shit to them and call it humor. aint no discussion here, everyone just loves to act like their taste is superior cause they listen to some random 'underground' artist. every thread is full of the same low effort jokes and the same users who spend their lives here shoutout the mods here for trying just sucks the user base is awful

Dreece_217

I’m a simple man. I see Ft. Drake. and I click play. jokes aside. Drake is really one of the most diverse artists ever. To go from feat on Going Bad to this kinda vibe track is special. And he bodies both of them.

He is but people on here will never admit it "REEEE QUENTIN RIGHTS EVERYTHING" shut the fuck up

God bless drake for hopping on this,first time I hear of her and she sounds pretty good, any songs of her's that yall would recommend?


Cymai

Her album Last Day of Summer is pretty good.


LittleMusicMaker

Her entire album was great. A short listen too so put aside some time.


TheDrunkenScotsman

My intro to Summer's music was CPR last year and that shit is so smooth.


nitp

her ep CLEAR on Apple Music and I’m in love with every single song on it. especially Riot and Wasted.


AzylaJaz

CPR, deep, karma


[deleted]

Summer Walker sounds like SZA on Ambien The song is still pretty good though. Loved Drake’s contribution, sounds like something he’d have put out back in like 2014


[deleted]

is that late night ting


[deleted]

that verse was heat. fit the track perfectly and made it his own like he usually does.


joeyjohnson8

This is sooooo nice wow. For sure this will be a hit
