I’m really shocked at Anthony fantano kind words towards drake
They're facts
do artists from previous generations get this much comparison to albums they made 10 years ago?
like thriller and dangerous were almost 10 years apart, was everyone comparing dangerous to thriller or just accepting dangerous as a really good album? sure maybe universally thriller is considered his best album but it's also been out for 40 years. it's like every release, people are expecting a NWTS esque album as if you can recreate the time period, the nostalgia, the ten years you've had to digest that album off maybe 2-3 listens of a new album
it's just unrealistic expectations and you do it to yourself tbh. that's why no matter what drake drops you're disappointed
this has nothing to do with the quality of FATD just a general observation
I think the fan response was more based on 'what do I enjoy about this album"
rather than
'what thing can I say album X did better than this"
They're facts
I respect someone who can keep it real even if they don’t f*** with you like that
I honestly don't think he's gonna stay away that long, he literally never has
Dude is always working
I can see him already prepping new s*** by q3-q4 2024
even if he is, we've been spoiled recently
gives us time to live with his last few releases as a whole
its crazy how drake makes himself out to be this uncompromising bad guy but this album seems to aim to please a diverse crowd
idk
Fantano saying all this just to give FATD a light 3

Jesus Christ from Fantano?!
Doing this especially after drake directly randomly shat on him in the DM’s and on his IG story shows conviction and class tbh.
bro is an honest journalist and always has been, people just get mad that they don't like his opinions because he's self confident in them

Maybe I'm missing something but I honestly don't remember when he's framed himself as a bad guy. Uncompromising sure but he was just calling himself a certified lover boy 2 years ago and dropped a dance album last year with some lighthearted moments throughout

well for this album and Her Loss i'd def say he was looking to be divisive and inflammatory
If I could I'd replace the Bad Bunny song with the Central Cee Freestyle
itunes!
This might be the high noon talking but drake won so hard even if fantano trashes album.. fact that ppl finally admit this point shows drake is above the bullshit they talk.. man drizzy living like a rap shonen anime main character, who tf you know been running the game as long as aubrey or goku?!

He real asf for that
I mean this was the first thought I had. Wish Drake didn’t respond at all but when Drake was dropping Take Care and NWTS rap heads were s***ting on him and making fun of it. And those were classics
