I can't pick. This might be the first album Drake clearly didn't go into prioritizing a obvious frontrunner for what the lead single should be and he proved that by not keeping Search & Rescue on the album despite the song being produced by BYNX, who produces like 8 songs on here and the song being a legitimate hit. He also doubled down on that by dropping Slime On You as an appetizer and then following that up with 8AM in Charlotte.

The album is like a greatest hits of album cuts.

In order to truly appreciate the album, you've gotta think of it more as an R&B album and less as a rap album. It's clear Drake set out to make an R&B album but once he went on tour, felt like he needed to rap as well so as not to totally alienate that part of his fanbase.

I get why Yachty didn't understand how it'd all fit together because this collection of songs aren't supposed to work but they do, somehow. This is also the most vulnerable Drake has ever been on an album. He's hurt on almost all the songs on here and he's not embarrassed to admit it, even going as far as saying s*** he knows will make people paint him out as a bad person.

It's sad everyone is focused on the wrong things. I could write an entire thesis on what I believe Drake's emotional state was when making this album.

This looking like a theme

There’s a lot of parts that people are saying they wanted repeated

Goes to the idea that these are album cuts just giving you the moments once and then moving on rather than making everything a hook

Gently is like the Fountains for FATD. Sonically so different from everything else but it’s a vibe.
