To me there are 3 distinct Drake eras:
1. SFG - WATTBA
Well liked by fans and Critics while coming up and rising to the top
2. Views - Scorpion
Cementing his status, setting records and still many hits but the critics and some fans start to hate
3. DLDT - now
Both casuals and critics start to hate even more and the negativity starts to take over
I’d have Scorpion in era 3 tbh
Some Drake stans’ grasp on artistry is so f***ing delusional that they’ll hear some good easy listening pop music and jump up and down and scream at it being experimental because they’ve never heard Drake do easy listening pop music before
Its like if Kendrick made a guitar pop song, everyone would be saying its groundbreaking and revolutionary cos he ain’t done it before
Luther literally out now lmao
No one’s calling that s*** rocket science
That user is the best user on this site just for pure comedic value
And you are one of the most sad and pathetic ones.

Not saying the track is groundbreaking
But it literally is experimental for Drake
Shut up and f*** off
Bro said f*** being buddy buddy with the opposition

‘Opposition’ 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Drake does NOT know any of you

what reality are you living in lmaoo

Probably not the best example and I realised as soon as I clicked post

You gotta realize that you’re not making any sense
This sound is an entirely regressive stance for him to take and even then he’s already done this sound before.
Just call the song good and leave it at that. He’s not pushing any boundaries here.
‘Opposition’ 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Drake does NOT know any of you
Not what it is about though.
It is about how sad and pathetic you are. What you are doing.
You been tryna mask it now on the last pages.
But can respectfully just f*** off.

With Scorpion he still had hits that dominated the charts for longer times.
Similar to One Dance.
But after that he didn't have a true pop song that had true staying power even outside of rap fans.
Maybe now with Die Trying.

Drake doesn’t really give it any special treatment or effort he wouldn’t give another type of beat
The (one) vocal melody he draws out for both of the entire verses isn’t exactly experimental for drake. He’s done practically same vocal so many times on more drakeish beats
So what is experimental exactly? He picked a beat and then just did normal drake on it
Music discussion online is so weird, acting like music has more or less value based on how “experimental” it is

That is very true tbf, I’d say the end of Scorpion era is when it became cool to hate Drake and Toosie Slide made it easier
