    Saw someone point this out a while back, Drake could always just BUY the artsy s*** if he wanted too. Not like he doesn't have access to every one of the artists and every one of the producers under that umbrella.

    He doesn't wanna make that kind of music.

    Honestly it would just come off as him pandering critics imo if he DID decide to do it.

    He's made very atmospheric s*** in the past. It's just that whatever style of music he makes, he makes it sound like HIM and not necessarily like what other people making that style of music will sound like.

    Drake will never give you a song with super trippy vibes where he sacrifices his vocals and lyrics for production that overwhelms the whole song. That's what some of these people want.

    But that hook bridge was to good to just get put on a record like that.

    They could have the rest of the song but if I’m Drake I’m keeping that part for myself.

    Eh, maybe but then again, think of all the records he's given to people since the start of his career. He can always write better lines.

    I agree that drake has been very artistic over his career. He’s constantly trying new sounds and pushing his versatility. I’m just hoping for that next venture on clb

    yeah throughout his career he has a super nice balance of doing very mainstream friendly records that sound super unique and have that Drake "texture",i dont think nobody pulls it off like that,thats where his crossover appeal across every demographic comes from.

    They want the kind of artsy where you can't hear what he says and his voice is drowned out by trippy production and the songs are just "vibes."

    ehhh he shines when hes front and center imo

    Kind of OT: I could totally hear Drake on this song

    Like word for word in his singing cadence

    Now that I think about it I would love a remix

    yeah i feel you but that's not really what i meant. love sandra's rose and those types of introspective records that i know he always delivers, but i was more referring to the production side of things i guess.

    Oh I see. My b!

    People losing their minds in this thread because Drake hasn't dropped his album yet. You'd think the last time he dropped any music was 2009.

    It’s the wildest thing to me. He’s clearly been the front runner of this generation and still people doubt him and talk about his fall off. According to HHT, he has yet to make a better album than take care, but the fact is he has gotten better every year of his career and he’s made multiple bodies of work that are better. The numbers back this statement up. That’s why I’m not worried about CLB or when it’s coming because we all know what’s going to happen when he drops.

    Also, everyone forgets, but when take care dropped it was generally s*** on too. At minimum they s*** on drake being too soft even if the album was good. So I mean we are just in this cycle of delusion with every drake release. Someone is lying because he’s the most streamed artist of the year (to date) and he’s basically been radio silent with the exception of scary hours 2. So clearly the appeal is still there and it’s by a huge margin.

    Well said. Also, he'll be #1 most-listened on everyone's Spotify/Apple Music year-end breakdown so someone is clearly lying. If the quality of his music has been so bad for as long as some people claim, he still wouldn't have the grip he has on the game right now.

    especially for such a long time... nobody is the artist of the decade outta nowhere, he's just different

    Nobody would ever tell Michael Jordan stop making fade away jump shots.

    So I don’t get the people trying to tell Drake stop making catchy music.

    That is impossible for both of them to do and not realistic to who they are.

    I have always love/hated this a***ogy. Bc Drake should never stop his fadeaway jumper. I just think it undersells him bc he’s talented enough to also hit Steph Curry like shots.

    I think we all can kinda agree what his fadeaway jumper is but the catch is what is his Steph Curry shot? Depending on who you ask, maybe he hits it all the time. To others, maybe he hasn’t. But ppl will never agree on what it is bc all this s*** is subjective and based on preference tbh

    ā€The way that you've embraced British culture will be remembered forever. And the UK love you. The real G's over here, you know that bro.ā€

    I can’t stop playing the FITB freestyle, it’s so groovy & that airy synth is just simply smoothness as it’s max. It’s a shame the freestyle is overshadowed by Charlie’s cartoon character persona because The Boy came with some bars. I really hope we get a little funky cinematic sound like this from Certified.

    Drake certainly can and has been very artistic in the past and I would love to see more of that. What’s next is a fun song imo but I’m tired of just looped beats that don’t go anywhere musically. Give me some drake over live instruments recorded by actual musicians rather than another tay keith or oz beat. I know it’s unlikely he would do something like that but I think it would be really cool

    that's NOT DRAKE what the f*** are you even a fan? you want the biggest hit maker not to make hits!
