we all know that the real reason Drake wants to retire is so he can pursue his actual passion and become a pastry chef
I thought he was more of a vegan cookie guy...
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I give this retirement idea a light 1.
Don’t worry Kendrick sent him the retirement package
If Drake retires, chances are we might not get his vegan cookie recipes anytime soon.
No vegan cookies 😭
He leaves by dropping a Vegan Cookbook Mixtape

😂😂😂😂
well if he retires from the raps he'd have more time to put his vegan cookie recipes out there and maybe do a cooking show he could take over It's Food we know anthony won't do anything with it
Imagine if Drake comes out of nowhere with an album that's sponsored by a nifty, slick minimalistic wallet that fits right in your front pockets. It would def be one of the albums of all time.
True that white boy true that
would've been funny if you didn't put "one of the albums of all time" at the end of it, im just kinda sick of that joke
@@MomJeans1738 best username
@peggythegoatandsoisdevynsmith yeah it's truly one of the jokes of all time
@@MomJeans1738 whoa
I love that Fantano can talk about someone so openly hostile to him without his own potential bias.
He’s talked recently abt how him and Drake have talked and kinda “patched things up”. I think it was on the podcast with Hasan and will and he doesn’t get too into it but it seems like they’re at least on better terms compared to before lmao
@@mrtn1566 interesting
I still don't believe Drake was serious in these messages considering he is such a troll
They are on good terms now. Go watch a podcast
@@Chris-px2gf he called him a one as a joke than
Drake has given us bangers, memes, a Raptors championship, a sea-change in our culture, and clown material for years. Ups and downs, he could retire right now and be remembered as a pop legend forever. Funny thing is, I don’t think I’d miss what “could have been.”
Just as a foil here, I hope that Kendrick keeps making music until he’s 110. I want to hear what a 70-year-old Kendrick has to say about the world and his life in it. I want to hear what a 90-year old Kendrick feels he has to express. Not kidding.
keep it a buck zaza gave the raps that championship. spurs wouldve been 7 time champs by now if not for pachulia
All of Drake's music is ass
My headcanon is that Kendrick goes the Andre 3000 route
lmfao a raptors championship. he still ballin out for them
@@pogchamp9669 zaza been deciding rings for years
Drake is probably watching this video
Hi Drake!
the goat... drizzy.... drake. ..
Drake if you're reading this it's too late
@@bedebop3904if you’re reading this Drake is the goat of our generation and you’re a clown
on repeat at 1am
the wrong man saw this video... "Drake retiring? hmmm....what an interesting idea..."
Kendrick really got this man to quit
Rapper retirements never last. It’s just a fancy way of saying “I’m burnt out and I need to take a break.” Logic, Lil Uzi, and even X had “retirements” that only lasted a few weeks to a month. The only rapper retirement that lasted an extended period of time was Jay-Z and it only lasted a few years.
Joe budden, waka flocka, 50 cent, mase, childish gambino
andre 3000? lauryn hill?
@@exotic_blitz7747 3 stacks still appears on features from time to time
@@primejordan8338 I wouldn't say Budden retired, more that he quit his rapping part time job to focus on his real career of being an asshole on podcasts.
@@exotic_blitz7747Andre still makes music and I'm pretty sure Lauryn couldn't make more music cause of label issues. When she could she did make more music and actually has alot more
I agree on the fact that this dude has the power to pretty much experiment like no other pop artist since the Beatles. He should try weird and wacky stuff.
He absolutely could, but won’t because his heart is not in the art anymore.
That would take talent and creativity…neither of which he has
@@stevescott3735 He has talent and creativity, he just hasn't used it since 2015. (Her Loss was great though)
@@stevescott3735he did*
I'm still waiting for Drake's Yeezus.
He doesn't need to retire, he needs to go on hiatus. Take a break and come back hungry and motivated to make more music
No. A debate with that Stan NEEDS to be a regular occurrence.
This comment right here: YES
Lmfao
Seeing los get mad is so fucking funny
DRAKE AND DRIVE
YES
mans lost his chance at a graceful exit
bro missed his chance LOL
Drake: maybe I should retire
Drake’s gambling addiction: lol no
Can’t retire when you’ve been fired!
Kendrick just did it for him
I think Drake could probably do with a sort of soft retirement, rather than fully exiting from music. It feels like over the last few years his primary concern has become staying relevant and chasing streaming numbers, rather than releasing quality music. He's really become the embodiment of quantity over quality. I think a retirement from that kind of mindset, and all the stress and pressures that come with it, and a shift back towards making solely the music that he wants to make, on his own schedule, could be good for him. I think he has one more Take Care or IYRTITL left in him.
Graceful exit, huh
He should have 😭😢
After what happened last night, absolutely!
Righttttt 😂😂😂😂
I love how we can tell regardless, Anthony is so grateful to be in a position to speak to a respectable music idol like Drake. And the fact that he knows he could be watching and tells him amazing advice on art is amazing. Love this.
Next review: Drake 0/10
“Respectable”
Pedo
respectable music idol? Are you talking about drake?
@@blingVolcano yes?
Drake needs to make his own Yeezus or 808's and Heartbreak, he has the ability to be so experimental and change the game completely. He is on the top of the game and probably his game too and he needs to inspire himself and move himself to making that happen unlike Honestly, Nevermind. Drake can do it, and I really hope he does it, but he just really needs to take his time on the album instead of making it sound rushed like Honestly Nevermind. Drake is literally at the peak to change the game and hit the game so hard that he will leave an even bigger mark on Hip-Hop culture. I do not understand why he can not put himself in that position when he has the ability to do it.
He is... literally.
@@timsopinion he makes feel good music for women. Brody needs to think outside the box
I loved Honestly Nevermind but I don’t think it’s a masterpiece. But I do think it was a step in the direction you are alluding to. I certainly agree with you, he had the right approach with HN, he just needs to let it incubate and flush it out for longer and I think it could really hit
He did, it's called Take Care lmao
@@dakotajohnson2293 ehhh not at all bruh
Update: yes
I love how rappers can't take a "mental health break," and have to *Retire™*
Kendrick and Cole have already brought together teams that could "take over" for them (Dreamville, PGLang), but I believe Drake might have a hard time finding someone who can supply his lanes properly. Honestly I feel for him man.
i think its just because Drakes such a hard artist to replace if that makes sense like no matter whether or not you like his music theres no denial he’s ridiculously talented artist who has is very versatile with a skill set thats very hard to replicate
He’s gonna pass the reigns to OB O’Brien. Lol if he quits that imprint is dead
@@PenguinRisk alright alright let’s not get too wacky. Don’t forget his ghostwriters an MANY misses.
@@austinmc12 people still listening bro, doesn't change his mainstream appeal at all 🤷
@@austinmc12 But he is right. Kendrick and Cole are better rappers than Drake, but Drake is more that a rapper, just like Kanye and Eminem, Drake is a Rock Star. Dude, is the most stream artist of all time.
He's in position to drop his magnum opus. Like you said the level of creative freedom that he has right now is unbridled. He can get any feature, beat, producer, or engineer he wants. He can make pretty much whatever he feels like and the album is unlikely to flop.
Nas pushing 50 and can still drop heat like KD3, age ain’t shit
Drake has been pursuing the hype that comes with being popular with young folks. Aging is therefore tougher for him than for other artists. Nas and tons of other rappers that stuck to what they wanted to do won't have that problem.
I think if he took time away from the spotlight, it may recharge his creative juices but I don’t know if he has the ability to do that. I agree he’s been very one note as of late and he needs to breathe new life into his creative process because as fast as the community picked him up, they can also forget about him too. Idk. Hope he figures it out because I feel like he’s not the type of person to be chill with being uncertain with his future. 🤷🏻♀️ would be cool if he released a mix tape of like idk, acoustic ballads or something.
He's just mediocre. Always has been
as of late? hes been one note his entire career
@@mamba4817 he has not always been mediocre relax
Honestly, I think Drake still has some life he can give to his career. What Fantano gave as suggestions of what to do would honestly be a great way to go out. If I were Drake, I’d take a break for a couple years, challenge myself to make an album where I’m just having fun on it, then release it as my final album. I know that seems Logic-Esque, but the benefits that were seen were positive (except for commercial sales, which might put drake in a spot where he doesn’t do that)
Creative juices? He doesnt write his own shit,
Lmao this after the beef is hilarious
yes.
my hating ass aside, I honestly think he needs to. He's clearly way past being hungry enough to make outstanding albums, and his name has garnered so much critical acclaim and worldwide recognition to the point where any new award he could receive will just look like a novelty toy collecting dust on his shelf.
True
He can always find inspiration. It's a struggle many artists have throughout their career. Many reach a moment where they got the success they wanted and more, so what now. It might not be on the same level but it's basically the same feeling.
He needs to take time off and find inspiration. Hell, maybe do some DMT.
@@IceKoldKilla Cole made a great song about not being hungry in that recent thing he did over a RUclips beat
@@Perry.... Cole and Drake are 2 different people and 2 different artists. There’s no point trying to compare their creative processes when we know nothing abt them. Maybe Drake isn’t trying anymore. Maybe he’s bored. Who knows. He has the potential to make some great music and we’ve seen that even in some of his more recent songs, even if it is few and far between. I’d say he should keep going. At least it’s entertaining even if most of it is pretty shit lol
@@mrtn1566 Huh? I just said Cole made a dope song. I wasn't comparing them at all
Short answer: Yeah
Long ahh answer: HELL YEAH
He should pursue his true passion and become a professional pastry chef!
His true passion is a groomer
As a massive Drake fan, he should.
his act is stale
He should do one more album and retire
I agree.
I feel like he needs to start maturing his music. Like shit your a Dad now wouldn’t mind hearing songs about that & how he feels. The Bangers will always be dope to hear but we need more.
Agreed.
He might as well cause he damn sure ain’t putting any effort in the studio anymore
maybe he can stop lying to the public and hit on a girl his age
This just tells me Drake feels the pressure to stay relevant, he needs to put out content even if he's not inspired to do it. He can ride into the sunset and come back whenever he feels like.
Considering he’s been the absolute most relevant artist for 12/13 years straight it’s not a bad thing. Won’t find many longer runs than that
Drake is that type of guy who will take this video, put it on a loop and play it 24x7 for motivation.
If Drake wants to retire, I whole heartedly support him.
@fantano, what do you rate the convo?
Drake is by far the most influential rapper ever. He has the power to work with anybody he wants, to drop anything he wants, to get any producer/ songwriter he wants. Drake is the most powerful rapper right now and he will be for a long time even if he does soon retire. Drake needs to drop a hyperpop glitchcore album.
Ye is the most influential. Period. Drake needs creative help lmfao
@@TheReverseReverend fact
Yes, just to see what would happen.
Drake needs to do a full blown R&B album where he actually utilizes his OVO artists like dvsn, Roy Woods, Majid Jordan and PND. Outside of PND, he rarely collaborates with any of them and it makes no sense.
Then throw on additional features from 6lack, Bryson Tiller, Daniel Caesar, Brent Faiyaz, The Weeknd etc. Get some smooth piano and pitched up vocal samples and you’re looking at a classic.
To be fair ovo isnt really his business, its run by and curated by his friend Oliver
I think the quote "did you get into music to be creative? Or to be the top guy in a rap popularity contest" sums up the majority of artists that are becoming mainstream nowadays. You can clearly see the strike contrast between someone who is genuinely making music to express themselves, or to just make a quick hit that makes a good chunk of change. That's the majority of artists in any genera. Kendrick Lamar vs Lil Pump for example. Kendrick expresses himself to the best of his ability, and genuinely takes time to hone and perfect his craft while making music. Lil Pump put on a 2min loop screamed GUCCI GANG and D.ROSE for the entirety of the loop, uploaded it, got lucky, popped off over night and fell off harder than Kanye. Talent vs no talent. Its very clear
Kayne didn't fell off my guy they just trying to cancel him for ''expressing himself'' in other ways than music but it didn't work out so well for him because people are snowflakes
Lil pump definitely had talent. People tend to forget that it’s MUSIC, not poetry or literature. I dislike Kendrick and would listen to lil pump any day before anything by Kendrick. Pump has great tunes, flow, tone, it’s catchy in a rhythmic way. Pump doesn’t make his own bears btw, it’s many great and talented producers. Simple doesn’t mean bad. Nor is it wrong to write party lyrics that aren’t socially conscious. Kendrick can be pretentious, sanctimonious, and seems to lose sight of what matters most which is the MUSIC. Many rappers including pump can compose verses with more interesting verses with melody , rhythm, hooks, far superior to Lamar.
He can’t he’s in a deal that forces him to keep making music. He’s slaved himself out and sold all integrity just for more popularity
Drake is just being open about his own insecurities even as the guy at the top of the mountain.
Which I appreciate.
He still advertised gambling to millions of teenagers.
I don't think Drake needs to retire, but he should take some time off: Since 2015, he's put out at least one album-length project a year, and the quality has clearly suffered since Views. Take a few years off, give ppl a chance to miss you, and hopefully come back recharged with an album of certified Drake bangers
I think it would be interesting to see a Drake mixtape that's 10-14 tracks, where he goes into his element. Instrumental pallet doesn't matter, but it would be interesting to see him work with underground artists like Benny, Boldy, etc. I think expanding out of a mainstream sound would be a good growth moment. IYRTITL is a good example of something that was different for Drake but turned out really good.
benny is not underground
Has a song with Benny already.
@@bendobendo he’s mainstream underground
@@bendobendocompared to Drizzy Drake?
Drake did honestly nevermind like he did iyrtitl it's just that people didn't like honestly nevermind.
It makes me question if the creativity and execution he once had was ever really his. To be this bankrupt of effort when you have the music world in your hands is just ridiculous to me. It shows he was motivated by fame and money, and little else.
Same
Drake won the game literally years ago. He outdid everyone he loved. If you ever been the best out of all your peers, then you know what that potentially do to your motivation
@@boo1488 Dickrider detected
Lol but for real tho you’re wild if you think Aubrey wrote his own hits.
If he does end up retiring, I hope he makes one more classic album full of songs similar to Middle of the Ocean, Tuscan Leather, Pound Cake, etc.
Facts
Please not pound cake, god no. Easily drake’s most overrated song. No troll, I’m being completely deadass here, Pound cake is just horrible imo. The other two are decent
He should go whatever direction he feels is appropriate. If he wants to carry on, very well. My only personal note would be to just show a little growth and diversity in the music. I do think the man is talented and can create an album that would be a 10 whether in our opinions or Fantano’s if he applied himself more and sought different ideas and inspirations. However, if he gracefully exits, that’s good as long as that is what he truly wants to do. It’s a nice sentiment to consider stepping aside and letting Nav take the reins.
Maybe for drakes next challenge he could express his true emotions through his work. Would love to hear some honest soul searching from drake instead of his bland lover boy persona
yes
Off rip, title only yes. Unless he takes a break to make a project that is worthy of being alongside Take Care and Nothing Was The Same
I think in reality he will take a break for a few years max calling it retirement and pop back up. I don't think that would be a bad thing honestly. I feel like he's kind of reached the peak of what he can do right now for a while. Maybe a Drake comeback a few years from now would be great but honestly he is one of the few artists I consistently listen to I don't care for mumble rap and I think that's where a lot of rap is at rn. But I do think he is kind of burning out right now when it comes to quality I liked her loss but it's nothing we haven't seen before Honestly never mind was just yikes. I think drake needs to be a little more creative because he's really been riding the same wave since about 2010 it's time for a change or evolution would be nice if he experimented more with different sounds like kanye.
Let’s be real. Drake could release an hour of silence and it could go number one. Why retire when he’s making millions????
If you already have millions, why do you need more? Just to see a number go up? If you art becomes vacant is it worth it?
@@andersonneil2293 drake has already lost the artistic integrity and has basically shown that he doesn’t care, since at least when he dropped toosie slide. If you’re at the point where you’re gonna keep making that much money with minimal effort, why stop?
@@andersonneil2293bruh ask the greedy ass rich people not us lol
i like ur profile picture, very nice cat :)
@@emmettsimon9487 Something true artists would understand, I mean if it was about the money alone he could take the business mogul route and still be "good"
Drake should make a hyperpop record
Diz.
what a wild idea
melon giving Drake a motivational speech rn
I like the point you’re making honestly. Drake has beaten the main story at this point, why not do some side quests and 100% the game you know? There’s a leak of his on youtube called “these days” that’s a bit long and dragged out, but i think the sound and the core elements, and specifically the writing are very nice. I’d personally love to hear him do something a little more stripped back more in line with that leak, even if it’s a departure from lots of what he’s done in the past
EDIT: i didn’t realize it was a cover of someone else’s song, and it’s much shorter than i remember (2:44 to be exact), but my point still stands. I think it could be an interesting sound for him to play around with, and I think he would sound pretty good doing it. Curious to know what anyone thinks about this tho!
at 5:05 it says "Drake Bish Bosch era incoming" you're welcome
I really hope Drake gets inspired to make music he’s passionate about again. Love or hate Take Care but that album felt like it was trying to be something more than just “successful.” Modern day Drake would NEVER drop a song like Crew Love but here’s to hoping.
Man should’ve listened
I think he needs to decide wether or not he’s still enjoying himself. Based off his last tape, bro ain’t having no more fun wit this shit.
Drake retiring to continue his storyline of Wheelchair Jimmy confirmed
has there ever been an artist that said they’re going to retire, that actually retired?
One time, just ONE time, I want Drake to surprise me. To create a body of music that feels truly authentic; truly Drake. Take Care was his strongest vision. And where is his conviction?
This is your chance Drake, forge your craft and create something truly worthy of being called “rap.” Of being called “art.”
Unfortunately I don’t think he cares and neither do his stans either. Hell it’s to the point that the stans revel in the mediocrity because to them only making money matters.
The only way Drake might actually try is if he stumbles so hard that even his fans can’t support it.
@@TheSkaOreo the amount of richness he has doesn’t really give him the drive to work hard to do that he’s more into drinking and gambling right now
None of those are real things
Yes
So if Macauley Caulkin was a rapper his stage name would be "Home Malone"
DM him and ask him
Here's my opinion on this, and its quite a simple concept, really: people should retire when they're on top of their game. Andre 3K did it, and its considered a GOAT by most. Eminem should have, even if I personally enjoy his last bodies of work. There's a sense of elegance in just leaving when you're desired, wanted, and cherished instead of being forced to leave because you're no longer necessary.
I’m not sure
if drake retires, he should get back into acting. i can see him in comedies
I never thought he was a bad actor on Degrassi, I wouldn’t mind seeing him act again.
I think that if anyone should retire, it should be bands like Metallica, red hot chilli peppers, Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith etc.
and yet were talking about drake
I feel kinda bad seeing their shows now, they genuinely look like corpses playing
@@gabsnandes7818 I think once the average age of your band is 60+ then it’s time to hang up the gloves and chill. But these dudes are still out here doing tours. Just stop.
I mean, if dude wants to retire and get out of the way for upcoming artists, good for him.
I agree with you
After everything that's happened in this past month, ye
Honestly what would we be missing out on? He makes hits but there’s always going to be hits. He doesn’t do anything noteworthy/groundbreaking. If he wants to he shouldn’t worry too much about it. When it comes to his lane he’s done it all
Missing out on probably an extra billion from being able to tour every year for the rest of his 30’s and 40’s Unfortunately you need to be consistently dropping to make sure those tours are sold out every year. They are also booked and paid for in advance so investors expect you to maintain relevancy with music, probably could sue him otherwise
Yea
he bowing out before they catch him for putting the hit on x. that’s why been restless musically - it’s about keeping his power and now he wants to quietly let it all blow away
Aged well 😂
I may sound cruel, but even though I've never listened to an entire project from Drake, I just love to watch you shit on him. Like, there's nothing more entertaining than watching two grown men punching the air.
I have never sat through a Drake album. I've tried. I can't.
Drake, please don't ever retire. 🙏🏼
Yes, he absolutely should
Probably
Drake the type of dude to retire, then come back the next week like "Guess whos baaaaaaccckkkkkkk, skippyyyyy yippyyyyy dippity!?!?!?"
Yeah
He’s not gonna retire…he just signed a $400 million deal in 2021 for recordings, publishings and visual projects. He still has music and new works to come
"Yeah", and "Yup"
Of course
I don’t want Drake to retire, I just really want to see him try something new. Maybe he can collab with some younger artists and put out a record featuring a bunch of artists who have been influenced by drake’s music. I’d also like to see him make smaller projects, and pick his producers more carefully. Imagine Drake working with Pharrell or Madlib? I would love nothing more then a 28 minute LP, each song carefully curated by a producer and placed deliberately in the track list. I would listen to that album 1000x over before I listen to Views again.
If he does retire, we all know what he should be doing.
I know Melon is gonna be the first customer at Aubrey's vegan desert parlor
You had the opportunity to use the Can He Retire?! Meme as the thumbnails
If Drake announces he’s retiring, I GARUNTEE it is all for publicity and he would drop another record a year later, give or take a few months. Thats the worst case scenario here imo. Annoys me when artists do that
We can only hope.
simple answer, yes
Drake can’t retire until he gets a 10 from Fantano.
Anthony is this a threat? Are you threatening Aubrey?
Bro, I just saw the title, and I instantly knew this lol this was Anthony Fantano video
I mean, if he quits he can still just come back in case he changes his mind in the future
He would absolutely pull a Jordan on that one.
Drake is gonna retire so he can start wearing a sleeping cap and slippers and carry around a candlestick and be visited by three ghosts like he's always wanted
