See this is why I hate the "discourse" sometimes...cause sassy nikkas like this always wanna cape for women and shyt...like bro cut it the fukk out...you already think men can be women now you're caping for this ambiguous "black women" like he's hating them.

The fukk is wrong with these softies? Just complete victims.

I like Cole, but don't follow him very closely since 2014 or so, honestly thought Drake got him, the beat switch was a part of that, the other beat wasn't good to me, so that's one aspect

but Cole's bars weren't that interesting, he does a lot of kind of bland congratulatory bars, "real hip hop'. but they just weren't that cutting.

The Drake verse, super petty and also funny, relatable, (texts are lime green, justine pauline, chrstine) scathing, "if your pub was up for sale, I buy the whole thing", that reminded me of Jay's better lines from 20 years ago

The Joe Budden breakdown of that song was predictable but kind of bizarre, where did Cole really kill it on that song? A song like that Johnny P Caddy, I can see a fire verse.
Cole’s flow was good and it’s probably the best beat he’s rapped on but it’s a standard Cole verse. Drake is way more interesting and Dynamic

What hurts the album beyond the content/maturity aspect is the sequencing and the length. A tighter edit, like 10 tracks, would have had a leaner and more impactful album, that wouldn't re invent anything but would feel like a nice fall project, something of a return to form. This feels cynical in it's length, dated in a something for everybody approach. Esp. since he repeated himself on multiple songs.

Other thought, is it too much to see some calculation in some of Drake's themes of resentment, as a marketing technique, for a fan base of men who are pretty statistically and vocally disillusioned about women?

After listening to this album for a few days, and being very familiar in my own way, with the transactional relationships of club/strip club women, I hang with strippers, I've gone out with them, been hit up for Goyard bags, take me to Miami---- I really don't mind any of it, not mad at any women, not mad at my "ex" but after hearing the album over and over, it starts to play with your mind, like fukk that bytch, but I truly don't feel like that--- and so for people who are angrier or bitter, it's powerful.
