A large part of Drakes appeal throughout the years was his ability to make you feel like he was talking to you and you could relate. This hasn’t been the same since Scorpion and that’s the reason why people don’t feel him as much anymore.

[@antoniosmith197]

He has past his prime, but that doesn't mean he won't make good music

[@Philosific]

Idk who you mean dont relate to him. Personally i can relate to him now more than ever, from the perspective of wanting to be a great and dominating in whatever field you in, from having many light love relations because you just so invested in your craft or skillset that you love it more than you could ever love them and understanding the issue that come with that, to blessing folks in a way that they might feel is life changing where for you its more of an intimate gesture of appreciation for them. Its like how Jordan felt before he retired the first time. Or Kobe when he go in shoot at 3 am. Like “Amen” hits so hard for me. Second half of “First Person Shooter” is definitely relatable. I think its depends on who you are, what you doing and whats your aim in life, imo.

Conceptually and perception wise, these 2 album have an identity issue, swap them out and the expectations changes.

[@MrJayfreeable]

You may be on to something. I'm not a big Drake fan but do u think he going through a identity crisis.

[@WeAreAllThings]

I 💯 agree

[@jynthejedi]

Drake hit a ceiling that he can’t seem to go beyond. Yachty is undoubtedly the worst of the young ‘rappers’ to be taking inspiration from. There’s no question that this album is bad, musically and content wise. Drake bout to be 37 talking bout some Millie Bobby, like niqqa nobody has been thinking about this. Dark Lane demo has better replay value than FOTD does.

Anytime you bring up money in an argument, you lost it automatically, no matter what else you said lol...

[@anthonyslimmo2950]

Let's be honest, Drake has reached a level where he can put anything out and most people will eat it up. For me, if the best song on your album is a song where Cole cooks you on it, that's a clear signal that this is far from your best work.

[@brandonjackson6323]

Lol a song with a top 3 rapper over the last 13 years you’re buggin that should be the best song and cole killed hov on a star is born he been doing this

[@user-nq4hw5eb9d]

That’s what i don’t get. I think a majority of his fans have been waiting for him to drop a more heavy rap album and it will still do well on the charts regardless because its drake. He dropped throwaway albums like honestly nevermind but wont just drop a majority rap album. Imo iyrtitl and nwts were his best albums as far as balancing r&b, rap, and the “new sound” at the time.

[@tawandasmith]

Yes people are too stuck in their ways

[@WeAreAllThings]

ShawnCee said that Snoop Dogg should’ve narrated the whole album and I agree. Would’ve made the theme stick.

[@mdm4eva]

AK is speaking faxxxxxxxxx

[@isaiahfreeman]

Drake is fighting for his favorite rapper's love

[@ichopped-_-ya1720]

21 Savage should’ve been on the last transition of"First Person Shooter " instead of the other song fr that song felt like a whole interlude.

[@11credible]

Crazy that half of what drake said is negated by that old KZbin clip of him saying that Joe is one of the best to ever do it on JoeBudden TV

[@BigdadiSixty9GTC]

Drake was going for a Take Care mixed with Her Loss Vibe

[@pierrepastel]

I don’t understand why people keep saying ‘He’s too rich for us to relate to him now’ He mainly talks about doing stuff for girls and them switching up on him lol Very relatable if you ask me 😂

[@HipHopScenedaily]

My brother is a sophomore in highschool when takecare come out he was 3 years old to say you want another take care is crazy

[@jaydenmckenzie6548]

I see what ak saying. Drake don’t care about being the goat anymore. He’s just gonna do what he wants to do because he has nothing left to prove. This album is so different but genius when you forget that its a Drake album. These expectations are what’s making this hard to receive for so many.

[@mitchrapp5214]

​@@mafamac4069Doesn't write all his own hits. Definitely not the GOAT. Modern day great though.

[@unstoppablesk8300]

@@mitchrapp5214so much more goes into the art of music tho not just writing (for the record if you look at the writing credits on 95% of the rap games albums there’s usually multiple people) but delivery, beat selection, mood, consistency all play a part, you cant make music at his level of investment all by yourself it’s literally impossible

Ak playing that making a murderer pt. 1 & rethinking for all the dogs 😅

[@kinganzu]

Drake lately is Mcdonalds, he sells a lot to the masses and makes millions. But watching people like Ak try and act like what Drake is giving us is a tasting menu from a chef who is trying new things is funny. There is nothing to digest here, I listened tot he album laughed at bars like "its onsite like www". These are bars Kai cenats 10 year old fans are going to lobe

[@abubakrwally805]

Joe Told Drake to grow with his fanbase and he told him I got a plane Lmaooo

[@brandonjackson6323]

No he said he failed at rap and only got a lil house compared to him and flies first class sometimes while I have my own plane

SEEESSHH AK you hitting this shit right on the fucking nose !!!! All respect and praise with the best amount of honesty. I think a lot of us held that same feeling on if it was us or the album. I will say after few more listenings I do like it more but we all know this isn’t his best, but being realistic like AK after 15+ years what can we expect … who else is even able to make good music after that many years . Our expectations are crazy high and it is what it is

[@t-mas2412]

You not getting a interview AK, take the gloves off

[@shadowblack623]

Remember drake’s response to the criticism of HN? He was upset and basically called people uncultured and low key stupid.

[@C1000-n6f]

Drake REMINDS me of the guy that graduated HIGH SCHOOL and comes back every year for the next 18 YEARS 😂😂😂

[@sershyguyofthemushrooms9880]

I think for a long time drake fans believed there was another bar for him to reach and he seems to be going the wrong way

[@boomdoxful2533]

I didn’t like when Drake talked about him owning a 767 and Joe owning a modest home in the 973…that was low. That kind of made me not want to listen to him anymore. I’m trying to get a house in the 973, Jersey stand up

[@dirtysouf6855]

I never liked jersey the times I been.

[@Yazada-Hamaba]

Facts.. bro the rent in my one bedroom apartment is 1350$ 🤦🏾‍♂️

Joe doesn't even own, he rents

[@xaviercoleman9741]

Drake artistry journey been over since he said " imagine me still rapping bout if I never made it". He only raps about the success now. Different Drake eras

[@EbsKnows]

This whole album could have been called chip on my shoulder…🤣

[@jayphilly1703]

Drake is falling off, plain an simple and its ok to say it. No one stays on top forever.

[@wengz717]

He’s falling off but at the same time still better than the rest. Goes to show you the state of music now

[@josebadia1932]

He’s reach these enormous highs that even his falling off is well above other rappers in his line of work.

[@LLSmooveH]

“its feels unfamiliar” but anyone else he screaming its trash 😂

[@BTSD9]

He definitely doesn’t have anyone telling him that’s not it 😅when you’re a top artist like Drake everyone is usually praising and not critiquing

Simply put it ; people who dont change can’t grow . That goes for everything in life even music
