Think you have 2 options:

Drake is the god of music (better than Michael Jackson whoever) because he's able to make trash and keeps getting bigger.

Or

The music is good and in touch with the culture even if it's not his best.

Anything else is just bullshit. Might as well say a genie did it.

Kiss Land is one of his best . Super underrated project, unlike dawn fm which gets overrated like crazy on this site from abel stans

Not even close.

From a technical standpoint, he adopts and plays with sooo many flows and rhyme schemes, way more than like 7 to 10 years ago.

Cause no one dislikes him tbh it’s a “I’m not mad at you I’m just disappointed” thing

We always saw him for what he could’ve been

Like when Chrysler made that one car..

Nas isn't making better music than Drake. Neither is Benny. Y'all play those niggas' songs/albums for one week and call it the best thing since fried rice but then never go back to it again. Y'all ain't fooling anyone with that s***.

Good for you. Congratulations, you're different.

Over my dead body better than champagne poetry

Even if it’s just because of the instrumental

And yes beat selection is a part of rap

You’re projecting and assuming way too much with this and swearing people who say it’s mid listen to the drake album like you got everyone’s Spotify wrapped on a spreadsheet

Liability literally came out this year

Shut yo b**** ass up

Drake be rapping rapping sometimes but the beat and flows are always so underwhelming on his most lyrical tracks - Too Much and Pound Cake sound so much better than stuff like Champaign Poetry and Lemon Pepper Freestyle

You know it’s true

Nothing wrong with it, but it explains your opinions

I’m not alone in being a Drake fan listening to his new shut hoping it’s as good as his old s***.

It’s the consensus of people who grew up in his prime

I feel what you’re saying but I’m talking about the generation that absolutely would have given him that and somewhat wanted to.

The dusty old head generation you probably have in mind either doesnt even pay it thought or respect him for what he is. But if you’re in that 23-34 age range to where you were 13-24 or so when SFG dropped IMO you should be able to remember that climate of people wanting Drake to drop that undeniable classic. That kinda got washed away with the Meek thing, he got his LeBron come back from 3-1 and bring Cleveland a ring moment by surviving that instead of delivering that album. there’s a clip I vividly remember of Charlemagne speaking on him not having that album yet in like 2013-2014 (I know ur gonna say duh it’s Charlemagne but still lol just saying it was a “thing” back then)

Drake will always be one of the most listened to artists due to the nature of the music he makes, that does not mean he’s always making the best music

I hope you realize and understand the nuance of what that means

We're talking about different things here.

I'm separating the beat from the rapping. I prefer OMDB from a production standpoint.

But he's rapping wayyyy better now than he was on that album.

You’re one of these mentally .. strange people obsessed with commenting on drake when you’re allegedly “disappointed” .. for years.

I always see this name in drake threads 😂 I can’t imagine being this invested in someone who don’t do it for me musically. I just tune out

Lol come on the new s*** not touching the 2015 run

Drake did exactly what he needed to do on OMDB

Tana Talk 3 and Plugs I met 1 we’re both insanely replayable

I NEVER LIKED YOU OUT NOW

okay

my thoughts are keep it in that thread
