We're just about to wrap up May and More Life, 9 years after release, is a top 10 most streamed album on Spotify this month (3.0 million streams)

Notable summer/tropical/island songs on the project:

• Passionfruit
• Get It Together
• Madiba Riddim
• Blem
• Teenage Fever (reach but this is late night summer RnB vibes to me)
• Fake Love

Note: I am not calling More Life a classic rap album, but rather from the standpoint of a summer album

ye

Do Not Disturb is the greatest thing he's ever done.

On Von

Duh

More Life is going to be that album we put on for our kids / nephews in the future and they say “why did people hate this album.”

Yea but i only like the rap songs on it tbh

His 4th best album

Yes I count it as album

This was really when Drake solidified his strategy of experimenting with new sounds. If you were around back then, the common hater take was that Drake didn't experiment, all his songs sounded the same, etc.

Views was the first album where he experimented with having a project with a good amount of pop, afro beats, island music (One Dance, Controlla, Too Good, Childs Play, Feel No Ways)

Before that, the pop cuts were mostly just sprinkled in an album, one or two max.

He leaned heavy into the reggage (?)/island vibes on More Life, and this is where the haters did a 180 from "Drake never experiments" to "Drake is an inauthentic culture vulture!!111!!111!11!!!!!!!"

Its one of the greatest albums Drake ever made

And to your question, yes

obviously

easy answer is because of the albums that came before it

on me?

s*** better than iceman ik dat

Was the album of the summer for that summer forsure
