after some time now, the album is all over the place, not what i really wanted, but for all the dogs none the less. It was an enjoyable listen, and maybe thats all i need anymore cuz im gettin old. Think its a lot better than his past few if you dont count her loss and not sure what people expect from Drake atp. Hes doing much better than Em & Wayne at this point in their careers.

Yeah I didn’t even know it at first. Threw me off in the best way possible, will never forget my first listen of it lol. Felt like I was floating, thank you 40 and Harley 🙏🏻
Tbh if your a dog like me then this album is definitely for you
Doctors office was the last place you boys even had ya name on a chart
Been listening to this repeatedly since Friday. Car Test, gym, at home, and....
Feel like this is a below average Hip-Hop album for Drake, but a very strong R&B album from him
8am, Away from Home, and First Person shooter are dope, but Calling For you, IDGAF, Another late night, Daylight, All the Parties, Fear of Heights are mid to pretty bad by drake standards. Like, I can't imagine we'll be talking about those songs 6 months, let alone years from now. This is where the Yatchy / youth influence has some credence, and not in the greatest of ways.
Not that those songs are 'bad' just mid to forgettable.
Conversely, this is some of the finest R&B moments on one project for him since Take Care, SFG. I feel like this is what "Old Drake" would sound like in 2023. Modern sounding, R&B Drake and he DELIVERED

That's 11/23 tracks that are genuinely R&B / heavily melodic and I see this as far more of a R&B Drake album than Hip-Hop and like, those are the songs I keep coming back to. Those are the strongest songs on this record.
His buffet approach to making his flagship albums has once again reared it's ugly head. If you were to just take the R&B records, 8am, First Person shooter, and Away from Home you'd have one of the sure fire best if not THE BEST album in his catalogue but the lows are quite painful.
It's basically Take Care if TC was way worse with the Hip-Hop songs but slightly better with the R&B records IMO
It’s WILD to me that some of y’all don’t like Daylight and Fear of Heights. Those songs are so fun
If the shoe was on the other foot and it was me, it woulda been guerilla war
Since you know I got a soft spot for you, this has turned into a civil war
Artists hittin' on you, broke as f***, I swear them niggas probably live in Singapore
The athlete that you rollin' with, I saw his game last night, he didn't score
F***, I gotta say a little more
Show you spots you never been before
It's f***ed up that we was goin' once and now you're goin' twice like a biddin' war
Why you act like just 'cause I go to the strip club, girl, that I don't love you?
You still listenin' to R Kelly in the whip, baby girl, and I don't judge you
I'ma end this s*** and let the 40 beat play before I snaaaaaa
In B***y Trap, throwin' more bills than your baby daddy traaaaaaa
Those closing bars are so goat. The delivery.
Shout to Machine from the Wood, free 17 from the Lane
R.I.P. Smoke, it's a shame, I’m bumpin' 'em all in the Range
I love all y'all niggas the same, I wish this was back in the day, for real
Something about him rapping about his inability to flip a lb is hilarious
One with the fewest lies
Me listening to Bahamas Promise
I like Gently
Weirdos in my comments talking bout some milli bobby!
Bring them jokes up to the gang
decided to let the album marinate over the week before I decide to give it a review in case it grows on me but nah man, I'm genuinely disappointed. This makes me appreciate all the drake albums I never liked like CLB, this is just zero in comparison to CLB. Only song that grew on me is Daylight lol
His cheapest, laziest album to date. Rappers should seriously avoid making albums while on tour this s*** never turns out good
Calling For You's s***ty skit, Gently, IDGAF, BBL Love, First Person Shooter is just diet meltdown like drake wasn't even trying on that one he just replicating the vibes. All The Parties' disjointed structure and the way the keef hook cuts off to turn into the most generic r&b beat switch ever. This album is just super played out imo
It's sad because there are multiple A tier drake songs like Drew a Picasso or Tried Our Best or Polar Opposites but if you're gonna play the album in full you gotta survive the onslaught of ass your ears are gonna face until you can reach these tracks
