bowie my favorite artist ever but damn his debut is trash
second album is cheeks too
Drake stans are surprised people don't like TML??
Like are yall incapable of being objective or something, its definitely mid. Hasn't aged well at all and its even worse than SFG
Uh, say baby I had to mention
That if you were a star you'd be the one I'm searching for
Other girls they, they got attention
But I just always feel like there in need of something you got
It's obvious you're pretty
Heard that you're a student working weekends in the city
Trying to take you out girl, hope you're not too busy
And if there's nothing wrong
Got this little song for you to get ready to
Put those f***ing heels on and work it girl
Let that mirror show you what you're doing
Put that f***ing dress on and work it kind of vicious
Like somebody's taking pictures
So you hate it but can recite verses from the album

TML is solid, but not a career highlight. I think even most Drake fans agree with that. However something not being a career highlight/peak doesn't necessarily equate it to being weak.
Also you said 'it's even worse than SFG' as if SFG is bad when SFG is acclaimed and well-received.
1. "Fireworks" (featuring Alicia Keys)
2. "Karaoke"
3. "The Resistance"
5. "Show Me a Good Time"
6. "Up All Night" (featuring Nicki Minaj)
7. "Fancy" (featuring T.I. and Swizz Beatz)
8. "Shut It Down" (featuring The Dream)
9. "Unforgettable" (featuring Young Jeezy)
10. "Light Up" (featuring Jay-Z)
12. "Cece's Interlude"
ALBUM IS BIG MID
dumbass named all the good songs

I'm not saying SFG is bad, but it came before. I'm saying he did better on a mixtape than his debut album i.e he didn't step up to the plate when you would expect him to. But it's cool, Kendrick pretty much the only big rapper from that generation who had a strong debut album better than his mixtapes
I just find it hilarious that some of you are hurt and shocked about people not liking TML, @Tvremote's post from a while back is accurate - people (even Drake stans on here) rarely bring up TML, it's always SFG, TC and beyond. Should be an indication of how mid it is

TML was well received when it came out though, and nobody was saying it was bad. It got good reviews, the people loved it, and it was a moment in the culture at the time. It just didn't end up being a career highlight in retrospect compared to his other eras.
I think if an album is straight up weak, its being seen as weak on arrival. In this case, it's only being seen as weak because he's had like 5 other projects that are now seen as better afterwards.
Drake a unique artist. Even his relative duds got a handful of legendary/ memorable songs. He's never dropped something that didn't connect at all.
Cole, if Cole is a legend to you. Not saying he is and not here to argue either way on that so please spare me the notifications
Am I the only person that really enjoyed Cole World?

Honestly, SFG vs TML which is better? And your answer to that should tell you the frame of mind of people and how they felt upon hearing TML a year or so after SFG. Because honestly I'd think its weak upon arrival after hearing SFG, just like I thought DAMN was kinda weak from Kendrick after TPAB
dumbass named all the good songs
Them s***s is all trash. Especially fancy and fireworks..

"thank me later is bad"
