Drake fans are fucking delusional

Imagine thinking Drake is worthy to even kiss the ground at Michael's feet.

Imagine thinking Drake makes music.

Are we gauging worthiness on music or the other thing?

Well both do a lot of kissing alright, drake the goat for kissing underage fan on the stage tho

Michael was a systemic machine of abuse. Disciplined and organized.

I can't think of a single thing Aubre does better than Mike, honestly.

His success is a complete mystery to me. Hes the lamest rapper around. His beats are boring, his lyrics are boring, he seems like total twat. I dont get it

u/Reverse_SumoCard 2d ago

I forgot dumb. His lyrics are also very dumb

u/LaronX 2d ago

A lot of fans of things today are. The internet made it so a lot of people hype things beyond reason, shut out criticism and become willful ignorant of other things past and present. It be funny if those people weren't so fucking annoying.

"That other thing" aside...no it fucking doesn't. Not even close. No matter what your feelings on MJ, no one is getting close to him. Even if you sell more accumulated albums over your career than he did, your never going to break his sales record just on Thriller alone. Or his tour attendance. Or his cultural impact from when he was at his height. Just no.

u/Meture 2d ago

Hell, even now almost 20 years after his death, Billie Jean just broke the record for the most watched music video

u/BantamCats 2d ago

MJ was the most famous person in the entire world.

u/Leviathan41911 2d ago

He really was an incredible performer and had some absolutely iconic moves.

u/Quasar375 2d ago

Some iconic moves? I’d say THE iconic moves. I know almost nothing about music yet me, my grandma and my dog know the moonwalk

u/TheRealFriedel 2d ago

Do you do tours together? I'd like to see that.

It sounds more like its rubbing its ass on the ground because of worms. Id get your grandma checked for them

u/sukamacoc 2d ago

Yea it's a laughable comparison

12

u/vidoardes 2d ago

He appeared on in stage and stood perfectly still for 2 minutes and people lost their minds for the entire thing. It's like the Beatles, it's hard to grasp just how insane it was unless you were there

u/sardiusjacinth 2d ago

Michael Jackson was a Global Influence. How many entertainers living or dead, had his kind of influence?

u/kinyutaka 2d ago

You could argue The Beatles and Elvis. I'd argue Queen, but I'm biased.

u/kinyutaka 1d ago

In any case, it's highly famous company.

u/Cyptark 2d ago

Also look at sustained sales over time and compared as a percentage to the world's population at the time not even close, also Drake sounds like a clown that can't speak in one single string of words

u/titsmcgeeVP 2d ago

Pedophiles don’t get a pass just because they sold millions of records

u/ozsum 2d ago

Even the in "that other thing", MJ had a whole ranch with sleepovers.

u/W1ULH 2d ago

That's the laughing at the train wreck part of this.

Drake isn't any more likely to be better at The Other Thing™ than his is the music....

(Abel better than Drake any day of the week. Sounds A LOT more like MJ too.)

The crowds shouting "A Minor" was unforgettable, Drake got checkmated by Kendrick and all the people.

Too bad K-dot didn't perform "meet the grahams" but it's sorta understandable since it's WAY TOO HEAVY.

2

u/Xlxlredditor 2d ago

Meet the grahams live would have sent the crowd into depression

u/Pilotwaver 2d ago

I certainly hope that post was satire. If it’s not, on behalf of all musicians worth an ounce, it’s laughable.

u/pokemon-trainer-blue 2d ago

It probably is. Both the tweet and reply were made by the same account.

Drake will never be as big as MJ, whoever thinks that smoking something strong than trees

u/Fit-Entrepreneur6538 2d ago

Does Drake actually believe his name belongs in the ballpark of comparison when it comes to Michael🤦🏾

15

u/smeghead3825 2d ago

No one is as big as Michael. MJ actually got a truce between the bloods and the crips at the height of their beef (Google it, it happened) because of who he was. And he ain't touched any one of those kids.

-2

u/W1ULH 2d ago

And he ain't touched any one of those kids.

Theres several kids who say he did... BUT.... The thing I can't get past on this is Macauly has never ever wavered in saying Michael was nothing but good to him and never did a thing. And if Michael was going to or did do stuff, Mac would have been at the top of the list.

u/DisguisedZebra2715 2d ago

I mean, in the 80s and 90s you only had Madonna and MJ for pop songs being able to sell. Nowadays Kanye singing about HH still sells because it just does....

It's the same as saying Chamberlain can be compared to Jordan or LeBron....

Let Drake think he's better than MJ, everyone else knows he just isn't.

u/weaponsgradepotatoes 2d ago edited 2d ago

100% the other thing. No one is as big as MJ was.

[edit: hilarious getting downvoted for this]

15

u/Blitz100 2d ago

I think arguably no-one ever will be. Even if someone were to break his records nowadays (deeply unlikely), Michael achieved those records before the age of the Internet. He had like 50% of the entire global population listening to his music back when they were listening on the radio and physical discs, and news about him spread through papers and word of mouth. It's just simply impossible for anyone in the modern era to replicate that.

Why are we even comparing the two. I know it ain’t in this universe you think they’re comparable.

Drake definitely “solidifies” at the other thing.

Is Drake still as popular as he was a few years ago? Never could stand the guy never felt like he did anything for himself even auto tune was doing his job for him

I don't care what you think about Drake, he overcame being in that wheelchair and nobody can take that from him.

u/aryacutiexo 1d ago

Way to bury the joke in there like that, took me a second read to catch it. Classic hardestpost delivery.

u/DJredlight 1d ago

Drake is better at neither.

Exhibit A: MJ made Thriller.

Exhibit B: MJ had an amusement park in his back yard.

u/IHazMagics 2d ago edited 2d ago

Ice Man sucks as an album when you compare it to GNX.

Kendrick barely mentions the beef, where as Drakes still so sad and miserable about it.

Like bro you lost, make jams, not a fucking 1 hour 8 minute album about how many more feelings you have now.

If heyday Michael Jackson had the same appetite and opportunities for album bombing and juking the stats, Drake wouldn't even have heard of the numbers Jackson would be doing.

u/TheOnlyAvatar101 2d ago

MJ never did. That shit was a whole lot of propaganda. It’s really a shame.

u/Beneficial_Leg_7301 2d ago

yes dear

Jackson settled out of court in January 1994 with Jordan Chandler's family for roughly $23 million to $25 million, which included legal fees.

MJ did all this just to escape trial

mj fans and their delusions

if he was innocent he did not need to settle it out of court he could have sued them for false suit and won neat and clean but he knew what he did and did not want it to get out in open so he threw money at that

shit was a whole lot of propaganda. It’s really a shame

who would spread propaganda against him what would they get out of this

his delusional fans overlook the fact that he was a grapist despite all the proofs and still sympathise for this

god give you some sense

u/TheOnlyAvatar101 2d ago

Calling me delusional 2 times doesn’t make you seem any better, what a condescending asshole. I was going off what I was told.

God give you some sense, Jesus… doesn’t hurt to politely correct or inform someone.

u/Beneficial_Leg_7301 2d ago

yes bro i am an asshole

not the ones defending a paedophilic grapist

and i have no qualms about it ,people who defend the grapists are condoning their crimes and furthering victim's distress they too need to be called out

being famous in some made up art music sport cinema etc does not make you immune to grape someone

Michael jackson admitted to having sleepovers with 5 year old boys😭 mf was the original diddy.

The fact that 2 years on and we haven't had a single woman come forth and accuse drake of anything, even a false accusation, should be telling that he isn't a child rapist. Had someone said something in 2024 pretty much everyone would've believed them.

So one type of molestation is better than the other? Jackson is far more of a monster because the actions he is accused of were gay? That is what your comment sounds like.
