Man aint no critics out there like that just hating on drake and rating his music bad because they don't like him. Other than a Fantano maybe. It wasn't received well because the s*** just aint that good LOL. Everybody ain't out there just hating on Drake man. The nigga keep doing the same ole same ole. He just lost the biggest rap battle ever. Now the time to make the best music of his life. He still coasting

with critics there's definitely a hard line drawn in between how they judge artists contextually. it's not really Drake specifically but more contentiously that they have no idea how to properly judge hip hop artists at all. Ice Spice's Y2K has a aggregate 65 on metacritic and SSS4U has a 55. This is mainly carried because Pitchfork gave it a 76 and SSS4U a 59. The context is pretty obvious here - most critics expected less than nothing from Ice Spice so they judged it solely on "is this mildly catchy and is it pop culture relevant". I saw Y2K trashed for the most part basically universally on social media and across the board even with actual ice spice fans. Critics actively cherry pick who they want to judge as a pop artist and which albums they want to judge in a vacuum vs who they choose to judge based on comparisons to their past work. I completely agree for example that Drake needs to be making less shallow music at this point in his career. This doesn't mean the music he's making is automatically bad though - it's fine and in fact he still really has the knack for hits (Gimme A Hug, Die Trying, Nokia, etc.). It's definitely unfair to be like "well i'm going to judge the album along the lines of how i want it to be instead of what it actually is". The inverse of this is exactly what happened with Kendrick's MMBS, where critics were all like "wow introspective album" and many people online were like "why is this not DAMN"; had the reverse of that taken place people would have slaughtered Pitchfork et al

So you think this album is up there with other highly regarded albums and the only reason the critics didn’t like it much was because they have something against Drake lol?

It really ain’t no way to hate on this s*** tbh

S*** player asf, produced well, s*** a vibe

I feel like the only way you hating on this is if you ain’t giving it a chance because you hate Drake or you a Kendrick stan, or if you still fixated on the beef, or if you go into it wanting to hear Drake rap

Stans and biased critics f***in up the game

I’m a Kendrick FAN not a stan (there is a difference lol) and same for Drake def a fan of bro music

MMTBS and GNX both classics for me and a lot of Drake stans auto hated those lol. I can’t fw that mentality man, I’m here to listen to the work these brothers and their respective teams put in in that studio, all that other s*** lame lol

Project is amazing and so easy to listen to.

Celibacy will never get played tho. “Pour me a shotty, let it flow through my body”. I love you drake but what are we doing here? 😂
