Drake is apparently so impressed with all of his career milestones, he got John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison from The Beatles’ famous Abbey Road album cover tattooed on his forearm — and placed himself walking in front of them.
While it’s true the Toronto-bred pop (rap?) star broke The Beatles’ record in 2018 for the highest number of Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 songs in a single calendar year (The Beatles earned 11 Top 10 songs in 1964), Twitter was quick to point out Drake had the advantage of streaming, social media and the internet in general.
Drake is obviously well aware he broke a Fab Four record. On Meek Mill’s “Going Bad” cut he rapped, “I got more slaps than The Beatles.”
But even so, the new ink has caused Beatles fans to unleash on the 32-year-old Grammy Award winner.
Check out some of the reactions below.
He sold more records than the Beatles, yet has less money than Jay-Z, Rhianna, Eminem, Kanye… no one finds that strange? LOL
No, because their money comes from different ventures not just music
You’re an idiot. They all have “different ventures.” Have t you seen Drake’s Corny ass owl sweaters? When did you see any of the Beatles doing a residency in Vegas? Or any of the above listed artists? LOL.
well he also did just buy a private jet and build a massive mansion. so he has a lot less now lol
He didn’t buy that Jet. Hes a corporate shrill to advertise for the jet company.
Just To Be Devil’s Advocate Let’s Not Forget The Cockiness Of The Beatles “More Popular Than Jesus” lol
So how many songs did drake actualy write and compose?
In the next 20 years chances of the whole streaming count being put into a seperate catergory completely, or accounting for a 4th of its currents stats will make this tattoo the funniest thing ever. Besides that, Paul McCartney just grossed a world record earning and made more than drakes networth in one tour. CHUMP
How big is Drakes Head? In that photo on the top of this article his hat is on the last clip nearly. His head looks like its orbiting the sun.
I’m tired of Beatles fans acting like Michael Jackson didn’t exist, like in terms of sheer impact he wasn’t THEE biggest artist of the last century…by himself. I like Revolver and all that shit too, but c’mon b…
Michael Jackson livel long enough to become a villain, John Lennon died a hero.
DRAKES HEAD IS MASSIVE. HIS HAT IS CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE. HES ON THE LAST CLIP
Come Together RIGHT NOW!!
Drake and the Beatles are way overrated. I do have some respect for the beatles. In my opinion, the British invasion was nothing special. On the other hand, i did like some of their songs. Drake! Drake! Drake! Where do i start?????? First of all, drake is not a hip hop artist. He has no real talent. Drake does not write his own lyrics. His ghost writers make him sound street. Drake grew up in the suburbs which is fine but keep it real son. He can’t sing without auto tunes.There is nothing special about this guy. Drake is well liked because he has that all american boy appeal. A black male from suburbs that sounds street is money in the bank. In other words, he doesn’t scare white america. This is similar to M and M. M is a white male that acts black. He is money in the bank too.
Damn, Beatle fans are salty. All those angry tweets are from whites too lol.
Facts. Whites are cringy as fuck. Beatles,Elvis,Eminem,etc. All talented artists but overrated af.
Unlike Drake, who is single-handedly carrying the torch for hip hop, right?
Drake is a pop star. Serious people don’t consider him hip hop by any stretch of the imagination.
If by over rated you mean: “literally revolutionized each of their individual genres” then yeah.
No, I mean ” a watered down white version of black music for white folks to turn around and declare GOAT status as if the black artists who inspired them never existed”
The Beatles never denied their influences were black
The Beatles were great. Yes I’m black and Drake’s music is crappy. Now Elvis and others weren’t as forthcoming about their influences.
I agree. Wasn’t trying to knock The Beatles really, just pointing out how white artists are always elevated to a certain degree that others are not. I don’t even like Drake lol.
No. “Created a watered down version of black music for whites to turn around and declare GOAT status, while ignoring the black artists who inspired them ” is what I mean.
Battle of the Culture Vultures lmao!
Quentin Miller has he same tattoo except he is in front of Drake.
Lol y’all really made an article about what random people on the internet tweet? Wtf lol.
Beatles are boring and overrated. They just stole sounds from black music. They have a few nice songs though
listening to that song above, all his songs sound the same. Literally the same
I’d bet neither Paul McCartney nor Ringo Starr has a Drake tattoo, though. Sooo…
The fact that the COAT had to make a tattoo with the Beatles on it at all only proves the overall influence of the Beatles and that he’s still chasing their legacy.
No doubt the only Drake they’ll be talking about in 25 years is the old sea captain. This guy won’t be a blip on the radar screen.
I swear that bloke is silly
