    being able to make good music but then filling the same album with songs that are s*** and just designed to get streams isn't impressive. just shows that hes handicapping his own albums

    ok I will give you that one & agree that Drake recently has a habit of slapping additional tracks on his albums that really seem like the ones he would only put out as potential single bait but even those songs aren't really Trash to me, Just non essential. I think there's nothing wrong with making fun songs that could go off in the car, in the clubs, etc. But he doesn't need those singles on his albums if you ask me

    You don't think When to say When was top tier?

    not you too, deep pockets, and from florida with love are alot better than WTSW and those are just songs off of dldt alone

  • JeffersonSteelflex

    GWG = literally sounds just like Desires.
    Get Along Better is weaker than any other R&B song he’s done back then. His best Ty collab is actually After Dark

    Desires??? idk man i don't see it really being that similar

    I'm not a stan but I just seen this so I gotta quote cause im curious

    I don't think I got examples like that but I like new Drake alot, he seems very comfortable in rapping and is not putting on a big boy voice like on 6 God that whole era and before

    My favorite album is Nothing Was the Same so I don't know what I'm talking about

    But when it comes to him RAPPING, I like the stuff 2017 and forward

    When you mean old do you put those in old now?

    Considering how 2017 is already 5 yrs ago

    To me he just seems more comfortable when he rapping now kind of like Hov does where he just talking

    His rap songs are good but I do feel like there’s less passion in his voice. He sounded hungrier on tracks from before. I’ve been a fan of Drake since 08 btw. I think after More Life, he’s kind of let outside influences determine how his projects will come out whereas before he locked in and shut out any that noise.

    Granted there’s some moments of greatness (Race My Mind, N2Deep, Lemon Pepper, Chicago, Sticky, Flight’s Booked, etc) The projects just don’t hit anymore as a whole

    dont think he shouldn't be able to make fun songs, just release them as singles tho instead of cluttering up ur albums with mid

    lmao he's probably the biggest artist in the world, how hungry could he possibly be?

    yeah... his good songs are replay-able. dk where the idea that replayability = making the most boring cookie cutter uninspired music came from

    I feel like he fights being hot versus making quality and the being hot thing always wins. It’s clearly evident in him rushing out this 21 project instead of letting HNVM breathe. That s*** must have f***ed with his ego heavy.

    He’ll always have hot music but I just think he’s not a great artist anymore. It’s clearly working for him financially so it is what it is. Same problem Ye has too. I’ll play the songs I like but I’m tired of people on here saying he’s better than he was years ago cause it’s false.

    That's my thing and where I differ

    See I love this but I don't really like that era

    The new drake, let's say, Champagne Poetry

    It's nothing new right? He already did the intro on 2013 album which this is damn near 90% the same

    But I feel like he rapping more comfortable now

    There's not weird inflections, I can't really explain it

    Maybe its preference at the end of the day

    Stuff like Diplomatic Immunity, Do Not Disturb and those type songs from 2017 forward when you compare how his cadence sounds from that with songs from 2009-2013

    It's different

    he cares way too much about what his baseline listeners think rn. after scorpion he should have just started making music he wanted to make. he did that with hnvm which is why it was his best project since more life.

    I guess that’s where we differ and I can respect it. I don’t like the monotone s*** at all like that a lot of the times. I think Race My Mind last verse is a perfect example of the voice and flow I love though

    tbh i don't think he is. I see nothing wrong with his frequent drops, if anything it just shows that he's in a great creative space and feels compelled to make and release new music. We say this stuff now about 'oversaturation' but I'd rather have this than the alternative. Drake just turned 36. It probably won't be long before he gradually has less and less to do with music and he just steps away from the game. Why not try to enjoy the music he's making rn while we have it?

    theres a reason why 90% of his best songs come from deep album cuts and not his top streamed songs.

    Yeah I like that song alot but that feels like some old Drake

    So this is where it's conflicting for me

    I guess I like his new approach now that could summarize it
