    1. street cred doesn't sell albums
    2.I'm from the west and have been rockin with drake since 2007

    2007 is when he started rockin wid wayne which is my point exactly. Look dude had some good features like the vid i posted above and some great hooks but the truth is without a wayne cosign he would go unnoticed in the us mainstream.

    your points are invalid
    !!!!!!!!!!! I've been saying this.

    People worried about street cred are the ones who want to make small money.

    Lil Wayne hadn't heard any of Drake's music until 2008...

    You are right, my bad 2007 was when he had a small buzz from the song with Trey songs. But he really started poppin after those mixtape features with wayne in 08.

    His buzz aint Dead, His still on the radio 90 percent of the time...............However, it isn nearly Wat it was last summer, Drake Was the biggest name In hiphop, without a Deal (though it helps to have a CoSign from Lil Wayne).........If drake Dropped His album rite then and there, he coulda sold atleast a half mil (500,000 or Gold) easliy, maybe even 1mil wioth the rite Single.............but he Didnty act own it, and I get the feeling folks is kinda Tired of hearing from him..........Expect him to sell around 200k -400k in 1 week. Good numbers, but not they 1's he coulda had

    There is a strong correlation between the amount of searches for a rapper and their buzz that they have. The more searches the higher the buzz. Thats where google comes into play. Here is the full chart of Drakes buzz.
