Room for Improvement, Comeback Season, basically 2006 until Ransom comes out - Rookie Drake, the Drake that bleeds his influences the most, lots of clear inspiration from people like Little Brother, Jay-Z, Joe Budden, and Wayne, beefing with local rappers like Aristo and going in on him, with the song Goodnight and Good Luck.

Take Care - NWTS eras - full pop star / rap star status, Marvins Room, this is when Drake came into his own and stamped the game in a unique way. and despite being a singing nigga, he started to get a real Feel for flowing on trap beats, as shown by cuts like the Tony Montana remix, Versace remix, and Worst Behavior.

Back to Back cut Meek's head off. WATTBA with Future, certified street classic. IYRTITL, one of his best works, he just proved to his haters that he could be one of the most effective Rappers when push comes to shove in a battle context, and still light the streets up.

The Ubiquitous Drake / Mr. Worldwide
Drake at his most mainstream and marketable, dominating every format: radio, streaming, Super Bowl Commercials, memes, the club. Hits like One Dance, Work, Controlla, Hotline Bling, and the overall impact of Views. Drake was everywhere, and to an extent, that made people eager to see him fall.

Scorpion still had smash hits but it marked a clear shift in how the world saw Drake.
2019- 2022
the Man becomes the Machine
Drake essentially gave up trying to please the critics and became the most toxic, unrepentant, and honestly, probably the most Numbers focused we ever saw him in his mainstream career. Drake knowing he can stop the world when he drops music, even if it is made with minimal effort. You can argue that he's not even emotionally present in most of this era's music, but to be honest, do we even care?

yeah but why focus on the facts instead of narratives. From clb drake stopped playing his popstar role and has put more focus on the music. This has coincided with less overt pop songs and radioplay. prolly has to do with his latest contract with with umg
