maneraI just don’t think he’s trying as hard. That’s not even a slight or anything, I just think his older music is way more polished, way more produced… way more intentional lyrically, too.
You think of a song like Live Now Cry Later or God’s Plan or One Dance or Nice for What… these are incredibly commercial songs.
The Drake ethos to me feels a lot more like the More Life record now… just kinda catching a wave of whatever is inspiring him at the time and acting on it. (which is great for me personally cuz I love More Life.)
The oxymoronic part about Drake is that he’s a way better singer and rapper now than he was then, just creatively stunted and a lil comfortable

In a vacuum I do agree that he simply doesn't try anymore when it comes to those kinds of records.
I refer to it as running from his destiny.
He was a very polished artist in that regard early on, with the lead melody singles like Hold On, Nice for What, One Dance, Take Care w/Rihanna, he just decided eventually that he didn't care for that and got braids, went baggy, and ran from that side of the business.
I personally have no qualms with it, but it does suck that he runs from making the generic pop record, because he's so good at it.

I'm not sure I agree on the singing part but he's definitely a better rapper now... I think Drake is the best rapper alive... or at the very least RIGHT behind Kendrick idk

Of course he is that’s why both factions are locked into an eternal war anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb

Agree w/this 100%
If you listen to his vocal performance on like Celibacy, and like, on Hold On or even further back with Houstatlantavegas, the difference is seismic.

Feb 14, 2025BrickellBaysideWe shall. Think he's out of his commercial prime tbh, and if he's going to get like a classic hit, or hits off, it won't be from a collab album tbh.
That hasn’t been the case for any of the past ones and won’t be it for this one either but again we’ll see

He really improved a lot on his technical ability fs, I think he’s the best he’s ever been
He making Party look like an amateur on a lot of these songs especially Lasers
