I think he lost a lot of good will with the way he went about releasing CLB and FATD

He gave us his early career classics in his 20s (SFG, TC, NWTS, IYRTITL) but the most recent of those is almost 10 years old. He can’t just coast on those. He needed to really lock in and focus and drop some late career classics in his 30s, the equivalent of his Blueprint and Black Album. CLB and FATD should have been that. Ironically they were his 6th and 8th studio albums too.

I don’t hate those albums (I actually really like FATD, no Diddy) but they were so not that lol, way too unfocused, random, and bloated.

If he took CLB and FATD more seriously and they were received accordingly he would’ve been insulated from a lot of the hate he’s getting now, even if he still lost to Kendrick at the end of the day

Hyping up albums that end up being safe, all over the place, and low effort on execution makes him seem like a scam artist

Agree with this. That’s why I don’t think dropping a project any time soon is the best look for him. He needs to allow himself the time to craft something special like he’s capable of and not be concerned about being the top dog

I think the contract + record breaking numbers made him just too cocky and arrogant to even try in this era. He got in his “I can shoot somebody and not lose voters” bag and you can tell by how he moved:

Siding with Tory
Leaking his own pic
Dropping his most mid and unfocused projects
Half assing his "I wanna hear yall say it" tour
And not really putting his best foot forward in the beef

Think everyone including Kendrick saw the blood in the water and thats why the strike was fierce.

I said at the “conda” thread that Drake would look back at this era like “yo i was kinda bugging”

We had people getting out of moving vehicles to dance to in my feelings and risk bodily injury but yes. No drake song has ever come close to Not like us. The elimination of Drake was successful

“Leaking his own pic” There hasn’t been any type of confirmation that confirms that drake was the one to leak that lol

i dont take ak's words for gospel when it comes to most things Drake related + drake bragging/taking pride in his d*** video when he should be way more insular than that regarding his status = yeah bro did that s***.

?? Who mentioned Ak? Lmao and just cause drake had some braggadocious bars about the leak, doesn’t exactly mean he 100% leaked it. Dude has always had bars like that if you really gonna use that as proof lol
