To reference my age, I walked to college classes listening to So Far Gone and Comeback Season.

I've been around KTT for almost a decade, and I still hold Trilogy/Take Care as the best era of all time because I'm crusty and can't let that s*** go. I'm one of those people.

With all that being said, I think this is his best overall album since Take Care. It's got the most songs I've had on repeat and doesn't have any huge misses in my mind (except you gotta get the Baby Daddy version without Sexy Red, then it's a nice song).

Structurally, this is the most Drake tape we've gotten in a long time. Interludes, a timestamp track, a variety of genres, no complaints.

TLDR: I'd take this body of work over NWTS. Big compliment coming from an old head.

My highlights, for those who care:

Virginia Beach- Great sample, great intro, sets the tone perfectly. Classic Drake. 9/10

Calling for you- Does some interesting stuff with the verse, think it all works well. 8/10

Slime- SZA was great, solid overall. 8/10

Bahama- For me, the spiritual successor to Get Along Better, which was my favorite CLB track. Really loved this. 9/10

Tried our best- Some of his best wordplay. Impressive track. 9/10

Screw the World- Really cool of him to do this, love the history, great interlude following the last two track to adjust the mood. 8/10

Picasso- MAN that beat change and that sample. All the 40 you could ever want. 10/10.

8AM- A great timestamp track. Fits the album perfectly. I think timestamp tracks should be judged in context of the record. A 4PM track wouldn't fit as well. 9/10.

Gently- This song is wiener, I forgot about it in my opening. Definitely the low point. 0/10

Baby Daddy- Get the good version minus Red and it's a solid 8/10 good vibes. SZA does well again.

As a whole body, this tape spins the best in the car at night of all his work in my opinion. 1 skip track. Production is great for car audio on this one.

Drake has always been my go-to for late night drives, and for that reason FATD sits at a solid #2 on his discography for me, just under Take Care.

I’m prob 3-4 years younger than you, (I went into college with Take Care). And it’s Fat D at number one and NWTS at #2 for me.

This album is insanely great.

Good review

I think the album is for people our age, that grew up with Drake, and can fully appreciate the full range of talent he’s displaying since its echoing his past sounds.

real

would the old heads lie???

And yea i love the album too. I’m not a boomer but I’m in my 30s so on the older side. it’s my fave since views (and it’s possible it will surpass views)

As a fellow old head walking to college classes listening to Comeback Season is absolutely nuts my guy

We the same age 🤞

Great review and directly contradicts all the people saying his fanbase is grown up and they want to hear more “mature” tracks from him

Out at "minus Sexyy Red" wtf

I’m with you. Leaning towards old head myself.

best part of the album

Same

Taking big Sexyy off RBD is racist

Wow that's interesting. What's your top 3 on FATD

thug really was keeping it a buck, folks smoking p****es

The album is ass , case closed

album is good, case closed

yeah because ratio wise it’s nowhere near the amount of rapping to singing as the projects he mentions (NWTS SFG CS) before we even get into the subjective quality of whatever is there lol

How is that “his most Drake tape” lol when he and his fans get offended whenever someone comes for his rapping skill

glad you enjoy it this album currently has me in an absolute chokehold it's so damn good

Bro I literally put my AirPod in in the morning and have this s*** running all day it’s crazy

why are you in a thread about drakes album just to hate? f***ing loser
