In an era where maintaining attention on social media is crucial, Drake stands out as one of the few artists who commands undivided focus whenever he releases new content.
On August 6, the rapper surprised everyone by releasing 100GBs of previously unreleased material, including new songs and behind-the-scenes footage from various points in his career.
It’s a significant collection that showcases his journey, but it also overwhelms in sheer volume.
Fans are eager to see what Drake puts out, but this release pushes the boundaries in terms of quantity.
Most initial reactions focused on the new songs.
Drake collaborated with 21 Savage, Young Thug, and Latto, and fans responded positively.
The track “It’s Up,” featuring 21 and Thugger, received particular attention for its potential Kendrick Lamar disses.
However, beyond the new music, many fans felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content.
“I’m not going through 100 GBs of anyone’s content,” one user tweeted.
“Y’all let me know if any of that new Drake hits.”
Some fans joked that a 100GB dump of Drake’s material means there’s limited quality.
“100gb of unreleased Drake music means there’s like 4 good songs in there,” one user quipped, capturing a segment of the fanbase’s sentiments.
Others suggested that Drake is trying to shift the narrative after a period of negative press.
“100 gigs sh*t I think proves to me that Drake can’t handle being talked about in negatives manners like this,” tweeted another observant fan.
One unintended reaction came from the title “100 Gigs,” which some fans noted had unsettling connotations.
Typically, when celebrities make headlines for having 100GBs of material, it’s associated with illicit or illegal content.
Given some of the accusations Drake has faced, this parallel was particularly unfortunate.
