Take care is close but too much filler to be a classic imo
There’s no filler…songs you hate others loved

Besides classics are determined by their impact and influence and resonance it’s an album that continues to chart which means it continues to be played with songs that continue to be sampled by the next generation of artists

I agree with that and I don’t feel like it had an impact like that

if anything House Of Balloons is the true classic of that era

Apple probably broke Drake off for that album cover.


My timeline on FB/Twitter are really enjoying the album.

nikkas talking about this same ol. We heard this a thousand times.
But be in them Westside Gunn, Benny the butcher, Conway the machine and Boldy James threads eating dikk and they making the same songs over and over again.
What so new and different Nas that did on his last album. What J Cole did so new nothing. nikkas writing long ass reviews for no reason if you don’t like Drake just say that.

Both are classics. Take Care the album and it’s tour put on The Weekend and other artists to bigger fanbases. It was an era defining project.

I'm hearing a lot of complaints of it sounding the same as all his prior work, but to be honest, 99.99% of rappers have a signature sound and when they stray away from it the results are usually terrible or underwhelming. I guess if you're saying his content can grow and expand more, I can see that and agree to an extent. But as far as the switching up the sound production wise, that's not really fair to expect that. And Drake switches up his flows and delivery.

I always thought being diverse in rap can be overrated, and a lot of fans just say it because they think it's what you're suppose to say. It's only dope if you're dope at multiple styles, which most rappers rarely are. It's like taking a player who scores in the paint and trying to make him a 3 point shooter. Sure, you can do that and make his game more "diverse", but if he's shooting 20% from the field doing it, is him being "diverse" really a good thing? No.
I agree with your premise but unless you’re a die hard fan, it’s hard to distinguish a lot of his tracks from each other. MATW and AEOM don’t sound alike, RTD and LAD don’t sound alike and I don’t think either Pac or BIG strayed away from what made them..them. There’s a fine line between switching up your sound and expanding your sound. I think a bigger issue is that he just doesn’t seem inspired, it’s like he’s replaying all his prior hits.
