When this album came out, it was revolutionary to 2015

[@xchampagne]

Was it though? Lol

[@Agent1245_]

CJ Campanella bring probably the 2 most popping artists in 2015 (Drake and Future) and make them do a collab? It was the king of hits back then. You couldn’t go to a stadium or gym without hearing songs like Big Rings or Jumpman played on repeat. Sure, it’s not the most amazing thing of 2015 (TPAB), but it was the hits of all hits for a time.

[@leiflala]

Wasn't revolutionary at all. It's overrated just like future himself.

Definitely a big deal when it came out but not revolutionary though.

SZN literally man

[@Ebombda12543]

we used to blast this shit when it dropped when i was in eighth grade before we hit the gym

[@Vibrant133]

You gotta listen to Scholarships again, Drakes “Kentucky Blue” flow is legendary. Jersey honestly grows on you. I listened to this album in 2015 when it came out and I probably didn’t like it until 2019. 30 for 30 is an extremely underrated drake record that doesn’t get enough love. Man goes off for 4 minutes. The last two tracks are one offs with Jersey being only Future and 30 being only Drake.

[@ythom6163]

He caught the scholarships flow, look at his headbop lol 7.07

It’s even better when you live in Kentucky. 😎😎

Underrated??? The fuck you mean? This was a huge album. There was so much hype leading up to it and just as much after it dropped

[@MontanaDior]

@@RandomxNachos First if all, relax! 🤦🏾‍♀️ lol A great deal of people from both fan bases have rated this album lower in their discographies; because not all Drake fans like Future and vice-versa. For the majority that do, yes this album was anticipated ✌🏾

This album is so nostalgic for me it came out during my Freshman year at college which was the best year of my life damn got me reminiscing lol

Got to see ASAP rocky and drake the same night it was amazing ASAP brings so much energy he uses the stage same with drake but there’s so much more energy coming from the crowd drake doesent really have too but long live is my favourite rap album

[@unknown-em7go]

Nice vid man, love it. I think what i appreciate most with these Drake reactions is that you're able to tell when the lyrics really matter. Like in 30 for 30, people listen to it but dont actually hear what he is saying. It's like youre saying, it is when Drake speaks out that he is in his element and nobody can touch him. 5AM in toronto, 9AM in Dallas, 4PM in Calabasas, 6PM in New York, The Ride, Tuscan Leather, Views, More Life, Is there more , and several more. Id love reactions to those songs and really a disection of the lyrics. There is a lot of info to gather from Drake as a person and artist in those songs

[@rubenlozano377]

You should do a reaction for Drake's "Comeback Season" mixtape! You would be the only reaction channel that has done it. Such a great project that got a lot of die hard Drake fans into him

[@turumaiakajust7461]

Not wrong honestly, Comeback Season was still a good project too! And Drake has only honed in on his music, there's a crazy growth and almost a realisation in between him dropping Comeback Season and So Far Gone that made me aware of how much he knows he's come into his own more and more on each record..

this isn't a deep project. it was simply a spur of the moment collab tape(made in a week). with drake diving into future's world musically as he's the more adaptive/diverse artist. to me it's a fun, what-if hypothetical project brought to life. but rough draft version if that makes sense. it's the cherry on top bonus prize that capped off their great year(2015). I believe if drake and future and their respective teams went in with the mindset of creating a critically acclaimed culture stopping project(ala watch the throne) they could. that's not what they wanted to do. expectations killed some of the hype when this dropped. but it's a cool project to have on in the background while you in the whip
