If you're an unbiased Drake fan you have to admit Habibti and Maid of Honour are the bottom 2 projects in his discography. Iceman to me sounds like whining for a whole f***ing hour.
Dropping 3 albums on the same day is not "innovative", it's stream farming and fulfilling a contractual obligation in one swoop. It barely qualifies as an artistic decision.
And I don't understand why Drake, who literally has the best singing voice of any rapper, insists on using terrible vocal processing on basically every single singing track here. Compare literally any performance here to a song like "Doing It Wrong" or "Hold On We're Going Home", even a later song like "Summer Games". He sounds so unnatural and robotic here.
I've got like 3-5 tracks across 43 and that's being generous
Insane take
You’re entitled to your opinion but I hope you don’t expect the majority of listeners to feel the same lol
you cant say the unbiased part and immediately follow it up with bias
What are you talking about?
I'm unbiased because I recognize when Drake delivers incredible work and influences generations, but I also don't give him a pass for his downward slump. For All The Dogs had a higher batting average than this s***. And Nokia at least heavily carries SSS4U
Why do people think “unbiased” Drake fans are the only ones who can have “objective” opinions looololol
That’s why we call them fake neutrals man.

get all that hate outta your heart. its not healthy
The hats this album is getting is kinda making me more of a fan of this album cause niggas acting like this s*** is some kind of atrocity to music lol just the beats alone make that impossible. People are OD hating
Hearing someone say he went 3/43 just makes me question if that person even likes music
That’s insane to me personally
But I’ve been observing rap battles since the 80s, they’ve never made me like someone less
Me too but many rap beefs divided fans before though. This one was diff, I'm a better rapper / I smashed your GF, you lame is much different than you are a PDF (but not really JK). It took the fun out of it.
Even violent street battles between street rappers were more digestible than this one.
get all that hate outta your heart. its not healthy
It's called having an opinion I implore you to try it! I'm gonna go back to playing If You're Reading This having a great life!
Drake going independent is a scary thought. Every label is going to do their best to blackball him even more so he doesn’t outshine their artists lmao
OVO fam we need to keep supporting him in the next few years, buy multiple copies of his next album and stream his albums even when you’re asleep
How would a label that an artist is not signed to blackball said artist
After 1st listen I don't like Iceman at all. Only National Treasure stands out to me and that leaked lol. 2 hard for the radio, little birdie, don't worry are cool, but won't have the longevity like his earlier work does.
Habibti is waaaaay better. Still have to listen to Maid of Honour
Iceman is the epitome of what I don't like the route Drake has gone in. He's the only one of the Big 3 whose raps have gotten worse overtime. The amount of trash lines in Iceman is staggering.
I think him focusing on the haters and those that dissed him hurts the album and is why I liked Habibti a lot more because he was just focused on the music on there. Nothing he says will erase what Kendrick did. Move on from it.
this is like the opposite of those “deluxe” albums that are just new albums tacked onto old albums to boost sales
It’s an improvement
Very early still, but if I had to rank the Big 3's albums post-beef right now, I'd go:
1. MAID OF HONOUR - 9/10
2. GNX - 9/10
3. ICEMAN - 9/10
4. The Fall-Off - 7/10
5. HABIBTI - 7/10
man gnx is a f***ing 8
Tired: Chubbs incrimination bars
Wired: LITA incrimination bars
Definitely his most polarizing album since HNVM
He knew that was gonna happen with MOH and Habibti
He is in artsy and creative bag though
Some people are gonna come around just like they did with HNVM
They can enjoy a rap classic in Iceman in the meantime
And everybody who listens to music is biased
People just use “unbiased” to act like they’re opinion is worth more than fans most of the time
Drake fans are gonna hold on for dear life as long as Drake still has high sales numbers. What songs on these albums do you think hold a candle to something from Take Care

For real, ICEMAN production is really next level to me

FATD was his worst project ever lol All 3 of these are better than that
How would a label that an artist is not signed to blackball said artist
Denying samples, features, producers, etc. Not exactly rocket science lol
