better hooks, elaborate beats, melodies, and strong structures.. I see people saying he's not being creative, sounds bored/ uninspired, or that the album is too long. I dont think thats the issue.
I think most Drake fans are ok with hearing the typical drake sound and we don't need him to reinvent himself. The problem with this album is a lot of the songs just are not good. I remember when he dropped Take Care, Drake said he would make a hook, then end up making a better hook, and then a bridge and all that. Now I get the sense he walks in the booth and just picks a quick hook and goes with it. I notice a lack of care overall. When you look at previous top albums the first few tracks often had a "timeless", "epic" feel.
Take Care: OMDB, Shot For Me, Headlines, Crew Life
NWTS: TL, Furthest Thing, SFTB
IYRTITL: Legend, Energy, 10 Bands, Know Yourself, No Tellin
even Scorpion had a better start with Elevate, Nonstop, Emotionless
Now he starts out with a decent intro, Papi's home which sounds like a throwaway, Girls Like Girls, in the bible, etc. They aren't bad but just pale in comparison to his previous work. I notice a lack of care or just lazy song selection, beat selection, and overall care to make "timeless" music like he used to say he makes....this is not timeless.

Bro just said CLB is missing music
People love to call Drake soft or sensitive but this album further proves that Drake is the demonic goon employing thug that Tupac and Biggie were thought of. If the ominous intro beat didn’t spell it out, Drake is one of the realest threats in the rap game and can get anyone killed if he wishes. Kanye said it himself about Drake in 2018, “He running around like he pac”, that's because Drake is the new modern day Pac. He's really running around with a strap on his hip, has killer goons on command, is affiliated with the mafia, and has bodyguards that that looks like they eat nails in a bowl of blood. He had Kanye fearing for his dear life and kids lives in 2018 when the beef was popping. Drake really is the demon of Calabasas and Hollywood. We're looking at a real life Godfather Michael Corleone type figure, a gang affiliated Michael Jackson tier pop-star but on a much grander scale than MJ ever was. There’s so many stories of Drake's getting rude yutes clapped up or performing mob boss gestures like throat slices, clapping his hands, etc. Drake dines at mafia style restaurants like The Nice Guy/Delilah in Hollywod. And he has enough power to bully superstar celebrities like Tory and Kanye around and make them think twice about their actions. This nigga Don Corleone runs every corner and inch of Canada and claimed it as his own. For the first time in forever we’re looking at an invincible GOAT who really lives the stories.
I thought Drake stans were writing essays. Now the haters writing novels
If I was at the club you know I balled

Yeah killed his legitimacy as an artist
Nigga typed 2 4 paragaphs about how an album that came out 14 hours ago could be better
A party next door FEAT 😤
Ghostwriters.
The hooks, flows and song structures have been going downhill since the Quentin Miller tracks leaked.
