We all gotta thank Pusha T for creating the diss track "The Story of Adidon" towards Drake.

I don’t understand his mass appeal either . People like him I don’t understand him being a top artist.

[@forthelasttime4005]

It's due to his colossal success in the 2010s. He solidified his credibility with albums like Take Care and Nothing Was The Same (which are considered classics by most Hip-hop fans), broke the industry in the latter half of the decade with commercial success through singles like Hotline Bling, Passionfruit, One Dance, God's Plan, Nice for What, among others. He slaughtered each one of these tracks and actually took his work seriously. His efficiency was nearly legendary by the time he dropped Scorpion, which despite being collectively seen as mediocre, didn't really stain the rest of his already successful career. Like Anthony said in the video, he was simply too big to fail, and because of this, 4-5 years later he's still pushing out even more substance-less and mediocre work just because he can and his career won't really suffer from it. I think Drake is more of a joke at this point, but because of his 2012-2019 run he's pretty much untouchable, so this has become his biggest downfall. By the way, I'm not a Drake fan by any means, but when you're as big as he is, it's hard to avoid him anywhere you go

[@_VISION.]

Terrible result

[@surplusrevenge2013]

aside from that not changing the quality of the album, what you say is true for most drake albums since Views. It’s not some new approach or direction

[@VonJay]

Which is why I hate fan service. I love Tupac and Jay z for slightly different reasons. Tupac in his Makaveli mixtape era felt like he kept evolving, and as you know a rapper’s discography was largely autobiographical, an artistic expression of their struggle. And Pac kept going though shit and putting himself through shit (like Jordan would make stuff up to “put another log on the fire”). This kept his music very interesting and relevant at the same time. It was almost non algorithmic, his growth as an artist, since his situations, his relationships, his growing list of enemies, his honesty and immaturity gave us something we’d probably never see again in real music. Jay-z is somewhat similar. He rapped about his relationships but it was more suit and tie, more corporate. His growth was from selling on the streets to becoming partial owner of a team, to becoming a sport’s agent, marrying that girl, having kids, what it’s like being black and trading with white wigs, etc. He was one of the best at making money in a variety of ways and rapped about it in a unique yet autobiographical way (imagine white CEOs doing the same thing, and not just a band with no corporate experience). So it’s sad to see Drake take this lane of fan service. The individual experience, expressed artistically, is the rarest thing one can find on Earth. Instead we’re getting popular opinion and requests congealed into wax.

Meh, thank me later was trash and aged terribly. NWTS and Take Care are fire though. Still love half of Views too.

[@Isaiah-FA3]

Drake’s batting average since views has been hit or miss ngl, but the hits have been pretty damn good, I still bump More Life and CLB a lot and I feel like Her Loss was arguably a top 3 album of his it’s the closest thing you’ll get from his IYRTITL type of sound, but yea the prime of his career quality wise was definitely 2013-16.

[@NL-fg6it]

Probably because you were a kid experiencing new things at the time. He’s always been average with a few good tracks that were written by others.

Might have already been pointed out but the intro to IDGAF is a sample of a song called "The Tunnel" by Azimuth, so if you like that section and wanted a full song like it, you're in luck because that shit's over 9 minutes. :D

I knew I liked melon for a reason because what he said about IDGAF, is exactly what I thought when I heard it, the intro blew me away, and then it drops into the main song, and I was like WTF is this B.S.

I liked this album, not it its entirety, but I have a habit of deleting the songs I don’t like from my library. I feel like that’s the best way to enjoy artists. Overall your rating is fair though, nobody needs 25 Drake songs but he knows what he’s doing and it works.

I think this is the first time I agree with Fantano's review of Drake, the album is not bad, but it is not good either. The perfect definition of a 5/10.

[@solotopp]

I will say, Mia, which was another Bad Bunny colab with Drake, was an absolute banger. In that song, Drake is 95% of the way there in sounding like a Spanish speaker. I didn't even know it was him when I first heard it. This new colab was absolute dogshit and it made no sense how it was so bad after I had heard Mia all those years ago.

This is my favorite Drake record since More Life, but agreed, still like a 5/low 6 for me. So that's saying something. I hope his hiatus lasts a minute. He needs to make a real record. 12-15ish tracks, more focused and cohesive. Anything but more 20+ track albums that just throw shit at a wall that he's probably forget about after a year.
