Finished Scorpion.

A few days ago I said More Life was the Drake project that has grown on me the most as time has progressed. Yesterday I realized that Scorpion is the Drake project that has soured on me the most as time has progressed.

This album sucks.

My number one issue is how thin and cheap a lot of the songs sound production-wise on here. Some of the beats genuinely sound like Drake-type beats that anyone can find on YouTube, and the engineering sounds amateurish for some reason. For a Drake studio album, I'm expecting to hear and feel a sense of polish and budget went into the making of the album. I don't feel that at all on here.

Next, the songs. Survival is easily his worst intro, it's a flat tire of a song that goes nowhere and starts the album off at a snail's pace (Diplomatic Immunity should've been saved for the album and used as the intro instead imo). Elevate and Emotionless are terrible. God's Plan, I used to really enjoy, but the older I get the less I like it. His delivery sounds completely asleep at the wheel on the song and it genuinely feels like the record was made for high school dances. I'm Upset is extremely dated already. Talk Up is the weakest Drake/Jay collab. Peak is f***ing trash. Finesse is another song I really liked back when I was in high school and going through girl problems, but now as an adult it just sounds annoying to hear. Ratchet Happy Birthday I don't even have to comment on. March 14 is a decent enough outro but it sounds like it's wrapping up a different album.

Side B is a little better overall than Side A, but my problem with Side B is the sequencing is all over the place, especially as the album wraps up. Two horned out of your mind R&B songs leading directly into the album closer that's dedicated to your newborn son? What?

There are a handful of songs I still really like on here such as Nonstop, 8 Out Of 10, Mob Ties, Jaded, and Nice For What, but overall this is a big miss for me, and it feels so apparent that the Pusha beef derailed and contorted his original vision for the album, especially on Side A. 4/10

I know you’re being serious but the thought of Survival being the soundtrack to someone about cross a line is wild

What are those drinks that Drake really likes? The peach tortellini things?
