I'd bet a lot of money that Pusha knows exactly who that chick on Calling For You is.
Listened to this on my run today and enjoyed it alot more than I thought I would. Album is bloated and he could trim 6 or so joints but I dont mind it.
Virginia Beach, Away From Home, First Person Shooter and 8am were the highlights off first listen. Sza floated on both tracks as well.

Drake fans better not be saying anything about the MCU getting stale and how Marvel needs to switch it up.
Ya'll better be the same basic ass nikkas who watched Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness and Ant Man: Quantumania and was like this "This shyt is AMAZING
Marvel DON'T MISS

Chaos - The Album
This was a tough listen. I think hes depressed, even when hes bragging he sounds joyless. As a rapper hes too old to actually appeal to teenage girls and too childish for people in his own age group. George Clinton & J Cole were the parts that made my ears perk up the most.
I know he still gets a lot of play, but its just name recognition. Same reason The Simpsons still being made despite being ass for years.
Theres some good tracks I will replay, but I rarely revisit any of these newer Drake albums. Only Scorpion aged well since IYRTITL. The best thing he can do is disappear for a few years.

After 4-5 listens
The album is good but too long which really makes me think as drake has said NWTS is his best with the perfect amount of songs etc.
Idk why he always has 20+ songs. Trim the excess and drop them on mixtapes or something or just random songs here and there. That would push the albums rank much higher AND be more enjoyable
Sound wise, not much growth here..
Production is great as always
Lyrically, step down from clb and her loss imo.
What really disappointed me was he said this is the old drake
It's not. Marketing i know but other than the 8pm joint,nothing old drake about this
.
I prefer clb and her loss much more.

He said he's going to take a break.
He did sound less charismatic tbh. It happens. It's happened to the best of the best. How he bounces back will define his legacy tbh.
The word that comes back to me after a few listens, is stale. Not horrible, not the worst album, not a massive failure or flop, just more than a little stale. And like someone just said above, the length. It just drags and drags forever. Repeats the same complaints and same stories, same person? on like 7-9 songs.
Even the sharpest produced tracks, Virginia Beach, 7969 Santa, for example don't really feel as fun or inspiring, like the second half of 0-100, I still play that all the time. This has that Drake sound, but it's like a beautiful movie with a bad script sometimes.
It also feels just a little messier, and rougher, like he really sounds a little broken over someone/something. But, he doesn't let the facade down enough to really let the listener in. LIke it doesn't feel like a personal album, there's still that superstar distance, but he is being somewhat honest about something. Some kind of regret, or some kind of resentment, maybe for a way of living.
Like Travis Scott, Drake can sound a little hollow. The Meltdown verse and the second part of the Cole record sound like they were done in the same take. That's a fire verse. That song worked.
Also, like every artists, like Jay, sometimes they need to come back around, what sounded great in 2013, doesn't sound great now. But, NWTS had more heart than this, or more vulnerability. Singing sounded better, at a minimum. That was an issue too. Not one to critique vocals like that. but he really sounded off.

It's as simple as hardcore fans that only listen to lyricism can't fathom in their head that their own favorite artists listen to other styles and vibes other than what they are known for. Calling Drake a lyricist is crazy also..

Lil boom made a good point a bout this album, it might drive me to receive it differently. i'll post when the VOD is up on YT
As a person who is not really a fan of singing Drake, this album is not as bad as people are saying it is. Definitely not worth all the controversy it's been causing, seems like a typical Drake album with a lot of filler songs. It's pretty tolerable for the most part but I see with social media it quickly becomes a trend to trash a project upon release if it doesn't hit immediately people's expectations. Assuming that is because he's not really rapping rapping on here as he has on other projects. I liked about 13 or 14 of the 23 songs which means he shot over 50 percent
