How would you rate each of Drake's projects, if you have to give it a rating x/10 (you can give scores with one decimal like 6,7/10)? What are you Top 3 tracks? Would you've cut some tracks or make any changes?
my ratings:
So Far Gone
Rating: 7,3/10
Top 3: Lust For Life, Successful, The Calm (HM: Little Bit)
The only tracks I don't really like that much are Let's Call It Off and Unstoppable, the rest is all pretty decent music.
Thank Me Later
Rating: 7,6/10
Top 3: Karaoke, The Resistance, Shut It Down
Don't really like the "Show Me A Good Time" Beat and some of the futures but otherwise good debut album
Take Care
Rating: 8,6/10
Top 3: Crew Love, Marvin's Room, Doing It Wrong
(atm) my favourite Drake album. But it is a little bit bloated...I could live without "Underground Kings", "We'll Be Fine" and "Make Me Proud", which all are decent to good tracks.
Nothing Was The Same
Rating: 8,2/10
Top 3: Own It, From Time, one out of "Furthest Thing", "SFTB" or "Connect
Great follow up to TC, more concise. "The Language" and "305 To My City" drag it down a bit and I'd preferred "Come Thru" and "All me" on the normal edition.
If You're Reading This It's Too Late
Rating: 8,4/10
Top 3: Star67, Now & Forever, Jungle
His 2nd best in my opinion. There is no track I would've left off the album, but the highs are better on TC.
What A Time To Be Alive
Rating: 8,1/10
Top 3: Diamonds Dancing, Plastic Bag, one of Live From The Gutter/Scholarships
Great, concise project, straight to the point
Views
Rating: 7,8/10
Top 3: Redemption, Fire & Desire, Views
Similar to TC this is pretty long, but the highs are not as many and as good as on his sophomore. Leave out "Hype", "Grammys" and "Pop Style" and it would get over 8/10.
More Life
Rating: 7,9/10
Top 3: Jorja Interlude, Nothings Into Somethings, Since Way Back
As this is marketed as a playlist I don't mind the length as much, but there is still some filler here ("Skepta Interlude", "Sacrifices").
Scorpion
Rating: 8,0/10
Top 3: Peak, Jaded, Finesse (HM: Don't Matter To Me)
I prefer Side B, which on it's own could rival NWTS. Side A is still good of course. I would've left of "Talk Up, "Ratchet Happy Birthday" and "Blue Tint". I could live without some other tracks but there placement on the album make sense.
Dark Lane Demo Tapes
Rating: 7,7/10
Top 3: Not You Too, Losses, War
Serves it's purpose as a demo tape
SFG 8.4 (all time great mixtape)
TML 7.0 (clumsy, awkward, had pretty high highs but tho lows just make this album hard to listen to as a body of work)
TC 9.3 (GOAT rap album contender)
NWTS 8.5 (Most Concise well executed drake album)
IYRTITL 8.8 (GOAT retail mixtape)
WATTA 7.8 (Fire, barely any skips)
Views 8.2 (Grower, a bit too long but still masterful)
More Life 8.0 (Great playlist full of gems and classic material. Without some of the guest filler it could have scored much higher)
Scorpion 7.5 (decent amount of skips, no clear creative direction or theme outside of one side being rap and the other being rnb, weak subliminal disses, questionable mixing, otherwise tho there are a lot of great moments on this. I can see why some love it. )
Care Package 8.1 (a classic we should have gotten in 2014)
DLDT 7.4 (pretty good for what it was which was a collection of throwaways packaged together with a hit single, overhated)
My rankings based on my scores:
TC 9.3
IYRTITL 8.8
NWTS 8.5
SFG 8.4
Views 8.2
Care Package 8.1
More Life 8.0

Damn y’all really hate CLB it definitely shows and that the album era is over already and only been out only 5 months

Except my update all posts were done before CLB dropped. And I wouldn't count a 8.3 rating as hating

S*** is just really boring and predictable man. That’s almost worse than being bad. At least bad is interesting sometimes lol. In a vacuum all the songs are pretty good. As an album they feel contrived, especially after all that buildup.
