    40 is what makes drake thats why drake doesn't hit the same anymore

    But I agree w/u

    It's what made him special, and Drake over 40 production was / is his defining trait as an artist.

    Marvin's Room
    Dreams Money Can Buy
    Fancy Outro
    The Resistance
    Successful
    Lust for Life
    I Get Lonely Too
    Over My Dead Body
    Hate Sleeping Alone

    I could go on, but this is peak drake to me.

    Fall for your type beat is also really good

    You will never get this again like this unfortunately and it has way more to do with Drake's insecurities than 40

    He has mentioned in the past, how people have labeled him as 'soft and emo' and how they did this because of the soundscapes and beats he uses to use. Idk if others have picked up on it, but he spoke about this in a 2013 interview prior to NWTS, that it really pisses him off that ppl think he's this emotional sad guy.

    It can be argued that that's why he's who he is today from an image and iconography standpoint, consciously working to NOT be Tumblr quote era drake.

    It's no coincidence that since SFG, every album has had less and less of 40, as he tirelessly worked to shed the soft / emo / good guy image.

    champagne poetry, love all, tsu outro, 7 am, race my mind, imy2, remorse etc are imo old drake done better

    Elements of it for sure, in particular Remorse, Chamapgne Poetry 7am sonically are similar

    But FATD really has the R&B highs that for me, was essential to the DNA of old drake

    Tried Our Best
    Bahama Promises
    Drew a Picasso
    Virginia Beach
    Slime you out
    Polar opposites
    7969

    That’s a ton of strong, vintage R&B to me and I think that’s why, Leading up to FATD drake kept talking abt a return to old drake and a lot of people took that in a rap way but I think he meant more R&B heavy and old drake is synonymous with that to me, hence him saying that.
