Any watch guys know the Rolex he got on in his most recent post?

Looks like a Tiffany dial Daytona with blue diamonds or sapphires but I’ve never seen that as a factory piece, might be custom?

they have been running the 'drake albums bloated' narrative for a long time, views was called a bloated mess but was the same length as take care

Same people who act like you're insulting them when you call them mentally ill. I wouldn't be checking for someone 10 years later if I really felt like they hadn't made anything of value in that time.

Yall so extreme with yall outlook of Drake fandom man lol

It’s either utter loyalty or total disdain no grey area or nuance 💀

In reality most people here who criticize his albums are actually still big fans they just expect more from him and want a certified classic from him that’s all lol.

A perfect example for you to grasp what I’m saying is Hov. I’m a pretty big Hov Stan. I like all his albums. I like the majority of his songs. But that don’t mean I think every album he dropped is a classic lol. I’d give him RD, BP, TBA, and 444 hands down and Vol 2, AG, and WTT if I’m feeling generous. The point is there are plenty of Jay-Z albums that are clearly not classics. But he dropped them at a pretty regular clip throughout his career from 1996 to 2017.

Now in the case of Drake he came out the gate swinging with SFG as a classic tape, TC and NWTS pretty well respected as classic albums, and IYRTITL another classic tape. Then the classics just STOPPED lol. Don’t get me wrong, the music stayed good more or less, but every single project he’s released since IYRTITL has pretty clearly missed the mark of being a classic or even a serious classic contender. That’s a long ass stretch of good but not great albums. That’s all we be saying b.

“His producer challenged him” is not the excuse you think it is

Majority of people do not ever discuss Room for Improvement or Comeback Season when talking about Drake, they’re not on streaming, and he doesn’t perform any of the songs live whatsoever. Obviously they still exist but they’re kind of irrelevant to this discussion. But even with them included, the average is still 3 songs fewer than his post-streaming release average

"The only reason the album is 14 songs is not relevant" is what you just said

The same people trying to convince you only short Drake albums are good won't be able to tell you why Cole's last 5 solo projects each have 12 tracks but only one of them is remotely considered a good, memorable album

The problem is that the people I'm speaking on don't just say "the classics stopped," they flat out say he hasn't dropped any good music at all in 10 years or that all the music he's dropped since 2016 has been utter trash. What's there to talk about after saying that? That's what prompts me to call them mentally ill for still lurking in his threads everyday and still checking for his music because if they really thought that, they wouldn't be doing that.

Drake has been active musically for at least 20 years now. That he's still giving fans great music at all should be considered a W because he's never taken a break in all that time and it's other rappers who can't even make a decent song to save their life after 20 years. Who cares that the music is not "classic"? So now, you can't appreciate music unless you or other people deem it a classic? That must mean you listen to none of the music that's dropped over the last couple of years then.

Cole can’t make a great project

Drake can

Which makes it frustrating when he doesn’t.

They say dude hasn't made any good music/put out any good albums since 2015 and expect you to seriously continue conversing with them after that lol.

There's no truth to this. The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights are back to back classic mixtapes. Born Sinner is a really good album and he followed that up with 2014 FHD, his one undisputed classic so he can clearly put great projects together, yet, despite making short concise albums since 2014, his music has largely been a miss/forgettable, proving it's a lot harder making a great project (concise album or not) than y'all think.

I haven’t seen many people say that other than trolls that don’t warrant a response or idiots

And no an album doesn’t have to be a classic for me to enjoy it, especially Drake’s albums lol

But also every time he drops and falls short of a classic it’s like watching one of your favorite nba players get to the finals and loose. Doesn’t take away from how great a season they might’ve had but as a fan of the game and as someone who knows how talented they are you just hate to see it.
