The New Drake Song Is Actually Good

Every Drake album since 2015 has been a series of “Will this album actually be good? Will this album actually be good? Will this album actually be good?” So I pose the question again, will this album actually be good?

I want it to be good so bad, but don’t get your hopes up.

Drake has done an amazing job at remaining relevant in pop culture and that’s what’s carried him so far. But he’s been underwhelming music wise for almost a decade now

[@kamfisher1714]

He’s had good songs in the albums, not every album will be perfect

[@lukeshioshio]

I think it will be pretty good considering Lil Yachty's last album was great. But wouldn't be surprised if it's whatever.

[@DMJDestructorPodcast]

I can’t wait until we see Melon and Drakes #1 Stan have another banger collab after this album drops

It would be funny if Fantano ends up liking it, but the other guy somehow dislikes it.

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

I hope the rest of the album has cookie recipes just as good fr

[@DroppedCroissant]

I really hoped that Drake and SZA would go back and forth in the last part of the song. It would tie together the two halves of the relationship/fight situation way better. Even if they had traded line for line on the calendar section then Drake finished the song it would’ve been better

[@KG-tt3nl]

Lol no😂 that sounds like trash

[@9G0D]

Drake is not sharing the most viral part of the song with anyone else. He’s the meme king for a reason

[@BigOwl51]

Drake fans always say they want old r&b drake to come back, then he comes back and they call it mid. They will never be satisfied

[@BrofUJu]

As someone who loves Take Care, this track ruled. So obviously 40 on the synths

[@user295.]

such a shit argument. coming back with an r&b song doesn't automatically make it good, people want him to come back with a good r&b song. its like people defending h,n by saying critics want Drake to switch it up and when he does, they're not happy. they're not happy because the album was shit. maybe they'll be satisfied if the music is actually good

[@TylerMBuller12]

I always hear people wanting rap drake back. That's what I want at least. I always skipped the R&B tracks for the most part.

[@camdenoltjenbruns5031]

cliche, but those arent the real fans

[@panashe5268]

I disagree, Drake stans are actually eating this song up. But it’s mid. Just because you try something doesn’t automatically make it good. He’ll never replicate Take Care, at the time he was young, fresh and still filled with a bunch of creativity. We’re never getting that Drake again.

[@itim777]

Fantano heard “Whips dun changed you like American slave” and couldn’t wait to make this video

[@kylebiggs8849]

It's a piece of an album. I get wanting a full package in terms of story from a song, but perhaps it'll play into a larger narrative over the course of the album as a whole. Well, hopefully at least. I also found the amount of "Just to be clear, I don't like a lot of drake music" moments over and over to be pretty hilarious. It's okay Melon, you liked this Drake single. You can own it.

[@rampageraptor3589]

it’s crazy that as soon as i heard this i knew “fantano is actually gonna like this single”

[@jianwhite7179]

I love this song! I feel like this and Search and Rescue, regardless of your feelings on that single, both have a bit more of a progression and art style than Drake’s last 4?? albums, which is exciting to me 😊

[@womprat3681]

Search and Rescue was a way better single than this though

[@banzaigd]

@@womprat3681search and rescue was pretty uninspired and lazy

[@lolno6975]

Idk why everyone hated the song. I thoight it was pretty solid. Comparable to the top end of Her Loss. The Drake verses were decent, but a couple stinkers in there (its Drake obviously), SZA did great but the standout is the production. This reminds me of prime Drake production, which is getting me extremely hopeful for when my pookie bear Aubrey Graham drops the greatest album ever

[@PJHip]

First time i fully agree with fantano, the only think i would to this is that it should have been an Interlude but again its a lead single ,though the vibe fits as an Interlude that has a reference on an upcoming track maybe!?

@@farhan70 brother man, having to please a ton of people in the music game is how you end up with generic, lame garbage. drake didn’t become the most streamed artist of all time by treading new or niche musical ground - he capitalizes on trends. it’s ok to like an artist for making safe, watered-down versions of sounds pioneered by others. but don’t pretend like drake doing something adventurous is normal lol the man released toosie slide and way too sexy, two of the most creatively bankrupt songs of the last decade, as *singles*. and when you consider how 90% of the songs on Scorpion+CLB+Honestly, Nevermind get thrown in the bin by all but the most hardcore drake stans due to how lazy and unmemorable they are, it’s clear aubrey isn’t venturing too far from his focus-grouped sound
