I don't understand your critique of the album not having any melodies because that makes zero sense but okay, if you insist. With SH3, he clearly isn't going for melodic-leaning rap songs, so I don't understand why that has to mean he has magically lost his ear for melody, but whatever. Melody clearly means something else to you than it means to everyone else.

Seems to me that you're just upset that the album didn't score any chart hits tbh.

No, the public agrees. Stop blaming Billboard’s formula and radio when NOTHING from this album is gonna go down as a highlight hit of his career in any capacity.

This album did a horrendous job at melodies and hooks. And again, when the 3 songs you named are all collabs relying on the hype of other names (for a 4th consecutive project) that says enough.

No, like 80% of the public we are upset this is dull and forgettable music.

Nobody wants to hear Drake in a poetry slam with the same redundant lyrics about trifling ass women reshuffled differently every song

Why does something have to go down as a highlight hit of his career on every single project he drops? You're here insisting the public agrees like even when Drake has dropped legitimate bangers this decade, they have done any real damage on the charts.

That's a lazy take, even for you. How are those collabs the reason why those songs are hits when if you remove Drake from those songs, they don't have half the impact they did on the charts? How many hits does 21 Savage have by himself without the Drake factor? 11/15 of those man's top 10 hits are with Drake. Rich Baby Daddy is Sexyy Red's highest-charting song and biggest radio hit, IDGAF is Yeat's highest-charting song and will end up being his most-streamed song. First Person Shooter is J. Cole's first #1 hit.

Name the biggest non-collab on CLB
Name the biggest non-collab on HNVM
Name the biggest non-collab on FATD

Now compare them to the biggest non-collabs on any of his 2010s projects.

Tell me with a straight face the issue isn’t Drake clearly has no grasp of a melody/hook anymore and now relies on collabs and their name power or contribution

Drake made the album he wanted to make. That's all that ever truly matters. You being upset at the lack of "bangers" doesn't automatically make the music on the album dull/forgettable. It's also hilarious because damn near every song on Her Loss is a banger but only one of them took off as a hit. Massive/Sticky are both bangers but they did nothing on the charts as well. That's not Drake's fault. The man has given you more bangers than any other artist in music history and the one time he doesn't do that on an album, you're here crying like it's the end of the world lol. Relax.

Nobody? Seen many people call sh3 hos best project. Every review ive seen from it is saying this is exactly what we wanted from drake

And if this is what he wanted to make he clearly needs better influence around him

How is he reliant of the name power of collabs to score hits when those same names couldn't score those hits by themselves? Make it make sense lmao.

Like I asked, how many hits does 21 have by himself, since he's the only one that can gift Drake hits now?

Drake hasn't lost his ear for hooks or melodies and you know that. This entire outburst from you is simply because you're upset he isn't scoring hits in 2023 like he did from 2016-2018, which makes no sense, considering how much streaming/the charts/how people generally consume music has changed since then and the fact that this man is 15+ years into his career.

He has more hits than any one artist could ever hope to have. Simply crafting hits doesn't need to be the focus at this stage of his career. He's making the music he wants to make and the music is still very good music. Sorry he isn't cooking up enough bangers for you anymore lol.

Ok all these paragraphs…

So name the biggest non-collabs he has done on CLB, HNVM, and FATD

It's insane to me that you're THIS upset because For All the Dogs doesn't have any chart hits. That's legit 100% why you're this angry lmao.

You're so angry at the lack of chart hits that you're condemning the ENTIRE album as trash. That's wild but hey, I guess to each their own lol.

No, this album could’ve been his hugest album - it still sucks and lacks anything memorable. And thus it comes down the melodies being horrible.

No wonder everyone calls you delusional asf. This album being bad is not some conspiracy theory or because the stats look weak. It just f***in sucks.

The stats being weak, the public panning, and the lack of hits just further backs my reasoning on why I think the melodies are bad and poorly done. Not the reason WHY I think that.

It’s also not a coincidence that you can combine his last 3 projects (like 60 songs) and any memorable song to the wider public was a collaboration.

TML, Take Care, NWTS, Scorpion, etc are riddled with collabs too - yet have plenty of solo material that resonated hugely.

He has continually failed to do that each time with every project this decade and it’s not really rocket science as why.

I don't need to do that because he is still the lead artist on all those songs and those songs don't perform half as well as they did without him on them.

You still can't name me the bangers 21 Savage has by himself since according to you, that's the person gifting Drake hits now 🤔

Or I guess Yeat and Sexyy Red (who both scored their biggest chart hits yet on songs with Drake) are now the bonafide hit makers who are gifting him hits 🤔

Or I guess Slime You Out and First Person Shooter only debuted at #1 because of SZA/J. Cole and Drake, who has more #1 hits than both of them, needed them for that 🤔

You sound like a delusional Barb

It doesn’t matter he’s the “lead artist!!” or “the person he collabed with doesn’t even have hits!!”. He still clearly is relying on their contribution and what they brought to the table.

He can put out 100 songs at this point and none of them are going to be memorable to the public besides a collab because he himself cannot craft a damn melody anymore lmao

Miss me with all that bullshit lmao. You're only here crying because you can't point to any bangers on the album. You've made that abundantly clear over the years even on the Drake albums that were received really well by the masses eventually.

The only issue you've ever had was that they didn't have enough hits or that Drake wasn't doing enough to push the songs you felt were hits.

You're not fooling anyone with this righteous "I'm only upset because I think the album sucks" act

Scary Hours 3 is a well-received EP with Drake rapping as well as he ever has and you came in here crying because it didn't have enough melodies and catchy hooks for you

Dark Lane Demo is 10x better than this project (or CLB) and is far less successful.

Chicago Freestyle, Not You Too, Time Flies, etc are the last time he frequently was in a bag with melodies. Nothing to do with success.

Whatever you need to tell yourself, buddy. Drake is still the one making those songs as huge as they are and not even just that, he's still lending that stimulus to the songs he features on so miss me with all this s*** trying to undermine the impact his presence still has on songs and how they perform commercially

Alright

“Scary Hours 3 is well received!!!”

Nobody is giving a f*** about this except major fans.

And the reception is generally that the lyricism is good. Which again - I said that isn’t the issue.

Your coping is crazy because I remember you also claiming Slime You Out being a s***ty mess was overreaction and “the public was raving over it!!” too lmao

I'm not here crying because For All the Dogs doesn't have hits. I said it from jump that Slime You Out wasn't single material and I love that song lmao. I've raved about it on here as well.

Unlike you, I can enjoy Drake offerings for what they are and not what I think they should be. Unlike you, I don't think he has depreciated artistically simply because ONE album doesn't have bangers. Unlike you, I'm not insisting he can't craft melodies anymore. Unlike you, I'm not dismissing the impact of his presence on songs simply because they have featured artists on them and trying to act like those songs only did well because of those featured artists. Miss me with all that s*** lmao.

So Drake went from magically having Hotline Bling, Passionfruit, In My Feelings, Nonstop, etc smash every single album to having 20 collaborations back to back being his silver lining this decade and that’s nothing to do with his faltering contributions

If you can’t even grasp basic realities then there’s really no point in this LMAO
