Because he makes accessible music. Critics will always have a penchant for what we all like to call ‘mysterious music’. Popular, accessible music is harder to intellectualise and marry up with high ratings. That’s why the concept of ‘critic bait’ exists.
Scorpion review was fair to me
Now if half that album was cut
Another classic
Too much fat and filler. If half it was cut it would be good but not a classic. and i'm saying this as someone who's enjoyed every drake project except Scorpion
He doesn’t make weird avant-garde experimental music for white people
Yep. This. This what I mean.
i mean yeah if its good music it gets a good score and i think those are pretty good scores, a 8 is borderline great to me and a 7 is a really good album that i enjoy
Yeah I don't understand KTT has this weird thing where if an album isn't a 8-10 it's considered bad
They dont hate Drake. Care Package got good ratings, which shows theres not a super bias against him. They, like many non Drake lovers, enjoyed Drakes prime and are disappointed he hasnt reach that level again. Plus, the beefs and other s*** has affected Drakes image. Affected image + releasing non amazing music + Being biggest hip hop artist = mess.
I dont think Drake is anywhere as good as 2011-2015, but what surprised me was how quick everyone turned on him after Views. I know feelings from the ghostwriting allegations was there, but it seemed when people recognized Views wasn't the classic they hoped, they instantly kinda flipped a switch on him
Honestly this

I think the best of A side and best of B side could make a 8-9/10 album

This is false as f***, name me a 10/10 album that only has 10/10 songs
I said 9 or 10. And it’s my opinion
You don’t have to agree. It’s not like there’s an objective way to judge an album
I think the best of A side and best of B side could make a 8-9/10 album
It would be top 3 Drake for sure

Agreed tbh
Drake is generally perceived as not being “artsy” so pretentious music listeners don’t appreciate his albums more.

Tea
I think in the future Take Care will be considered a classic and people are gonna be like "How is this a classic?" the same way some people look at the Carter 3, and NTWS and IFYRTL are gonna be considered his best albums
no offense cause i like his music but its easy to see drake is literally the laziest rapper in terms of making interesting music
he litterally does the BARE MINIMUM in verses, features, albums, only sometimes he writes good hooks
only recently hes started switching it up. until now he's been re-making the same like 4 songs since like 2016
his last 3 albums were the audio equivalent of a lobotomy

Its the truth man. Compare the deep cuts on NWTS and the deep cuts on Scorpion
I’m curious how NWTS isn’t at least a 9 to you
that run of Connect - The Language - 305 to my city lowers the album as a whole for me
if he would have cut those out it would have been 9/10 alum easily

Views and More Life are genuinely great albums.
