I gave it a second listen and still couldn’t get into it. The tracks I did like only one is something I’ve played back to back:

First Person Shooter
7969 Santa
Slime You Out
Bahamas Promises
8am in Charlotte
Rich Baby Daddy (best track )

Taylor Swift trying to mimick Rosalia would be insane

I agree with Cactano. I wish Drake would stop trying to do that. Just be you.

That song is about her?

I'm shocked how many people dont know this.

Majority of the coli was born after 2000

My thoughts about this album after a few listens through and songs added to the playlist:

This shyt, like all his albums post if you’re reading this, too. many. tracks.

I get it’s the streaming age but Drake does entirely too much to check all commercial boxes, you can’t please literally everybody and make a cohesive or quality album that way. He stretches himself too thin sonically and tries to blend in with too many sounds. Sometimes it works, but when it doesn’t it fukking does it.

He could have removed 7 to 8 tracks and had his best album since If you’re reading this in my opinion. Rapping a little more wouldn’t hurt either like damn. Best rapping on the album isn’t even from him, J. Cole packed him up something serious on that track.

The vibes were cool as hell when they were good though, but I wouldn’t say that as a hip hop album in the traditional sense, but when it’s bad it’s bad. Like why end your album with such a weak ass track when that’s generally your strongest?

Ultimately I don’t think this deserves in the 40’s like on metacritic, but the style jocking songs, the bad bunny song and the last song on the album are all good cases why they shytted on it like that.

I think that bad bunny song would’ve worked had he not had bad bunny on it and just let the intro beat flow and drake rapping in Spanish

i aint gon front, on 1st listen i wasnt too impressed outside of a few songs (esp for drake standards), and was completely feelin' a lot of the critiques of the music

but after a few spins, some of the joints really sneak up on you ... r&b ones like tried our best and polar opposites

All the parties is fire too

Rich Baby Daddy is a banger, any Miami base influenced rap song I mostly like.

It ain’t nowhere near the level of my boo though but I feel like Drake and other rappers should tap into this sound more, In my feelings was another similar type song which was a banger

 

[rabbid]

what anime is that?

What anime is this?

All the parties is fire too

Out of 23 songs, it's the only song I listen to. I don't even like FPS. Cole did his thing but Drake was bad.

I just can't get into it. Maybe I'm too old

I don’t understand the critique of people who find it impossible to challenge, criticize or be petty about women as if that’s some legitimate criticism of the album. This review did not even touch on the music itself or how it sounds sonically. It’s a bunch of white knighting.

I mean what type of shyt is this?

I don't think it's meant to be looked at as a review. He talked about the evolution of Drake's lyrics...I don't see the issue here tbh. Him bringing up how much he's changed as he's got older is something we all see

The subject matter is part of the music. If the consumer doesn't want to hear that, they have a right to criticize it regardless how fire the beat is.
