• His flow on songs aren't as... I don't even know what's the word for it but he doesn't flow as effortlessly and continuously as he used to. Like for example the last verse on 10 Bands or first verse of Furthest Thing. Now He does this stupid thing now where he pauses in his verses multiple times and really kills the momentum and makes it awkward.
• He doesn't have nearly as good melodies or hooks anymore.
• Sounds bored on almost every single track nowadays. He used to rap and sing with so much passion, hunger and charisma. He sounds so lifeless now.
• Uses autotune way too much now. I miss when he'd have beautiful singing songs with well written lyrics. Like compare songs like HOWGH, Feel No Ways, Now & Forever, Marvins Room, Shot For Me, Doing It Wrong, Days In The East, Girls Love Beyonce or My Side to songs like Peak, Finesse, After Dark, Pipe Down, In The Bible, Girls Want Girls or F***ing Fans. Now his singing is autotuned messes and the lyrics have gotten either not nearly as good or pretty corny.
• Subject matter never changing or evolving is probably the worst offense. I don't need him to completely switch up and like never rap about the things he usually raps about but there needs to be at least SOME songs that break the mold and showcase his creativity. It would be nice but I'm not even saying he has to rap about politics or world issues or anything like that but my god rap about ANYTHING other than your stripper/ig model flings/girlfriends, love for your boys, your mom being sick, the fact that you on top and the cons that come with it, your opps, betrayal, the toll of fame, etc.
• Beats have been dry to me for the most part. It's super weird because it's not like they are bad but they always feel like they are missing something to make them kick. Like the difference between Tuscan Leather and Champagne Poetry. His albums used to have such beautiful production and now they sound as lifeless as him.
• His song structuring used to be way more elaborate and unique. Old Drake would have never had a 2 minute intro like Survival or stop at 1 verse on a song like Papi's Home. He never used to miss a songs potential. Like imagine if Come Thru ain't have that outro or 10 Bands stopped at those 2 short verses or if Days In the East and Marvins Room ain't have those last rap/sung verses where he spazzed. Most of his songs now feel like they missing another part to them.
• He keeps rapping with the same old people like Future & Migos or the new style niggas like Lil Baby, Gunna and Durk and they usually don't bring out the best in him at all. It's getting hella boring I wish he'd switch up and do more songs with rappers that push him like Freddie Gibbs, JID, Tyler, Benny, etc. Wish he'd collab with more female artists too like Kehlani, Jhene, Summer, Doja, Rico Nasty, Meg, etc.
• He doesn't care about making actual albums anymore. Every project after IYRTITL feel like playlists and gives the excuse that he needs to give all different types of songs on one project when he really doesn't. He's shown multiple times he's willing to release loosies, EPs, and mixtapes. He has multiple mediums to spread out the different types of songs on.

since views i feel like there have been like 6-7 songs that drake has REALLY worked on per project (production, melody, and verses) and the rest are just kinda mid production and he prob freestyled off the top and just called it a day

like we get that he can make effortless hits, we been seeing that for years but only real music is gonna last, all that other s*** is here today, gone tomorrow

I guess its not something he was known for but I hate the fact that his albums have fewer and fewer attempts at having a concept or theme as time goes on. obviously he's popular and has to appeal to literally billions of people all over the world but its like he doesn't care to make his albums cohesive.
