This is another silly sentiment — the idea that his aim with his albums is to "get the most streams possible."

Room for Improvement has 20+ songs.
Comeback Season has 20+ songs.
Take Care (Deluxe) has 20 songs.
If You're Reading This It's Too Late has 17 songs.

All projects that dropped before streaming was a thing. He has ALWAYS made long projects. It's not some new thing he only started doing in the streaming era and just as well, he has always made shorter, more concise projects as well (Thank Me Later, Nothing Was the Same, WATTBA). And even in the streaming era, you've gotten 14-16 track projects like Dark Lane Demo Tapes, Honestly, Nevermind and Her Loss.

And leaving out SFG and IYRT to push a "studio album" narrative is crazy lmao nobody caries about studio album and mixtape designations, Drake certainly doesn't

TML was his first album and was label mandated and directed

Take Care, his

NWTS, 40 challenged him to be concise

You're wrong Fader

Gosh

But it’s pretty obvious the idea with Drake albums is more songs equals more chances at hits

He gives no f***s about dropping a concise album with a theme

The "best" drake projects from the first era and the "best" drake projects from the second era all have something in common. Just saying

Scorpion, FAT D, and $$$4U sort of hurting the pro-20+ track album argument for me,

Even CLB a little bloated and views sort of all over the place at times but theyre more tolerable

As opposed to HN and HL being very enjoyable to me,

I think 14-16 tracks is a good range and just cutting the fat but also I can understand the desire to make a bunch of tracks and give people as many as possible. My least fav could be someone else's favorite

But Drake's in a space where I think people got less patience for what he's got going on, outside of his seriously devoted fans, so idk if he can afford a bunch of filler on the record or people are going to just be calling it trash

Like all Drake albums, its going to do well on the charts and with the public and the haters are going to cry as always. Nothing will change
