All the songs on More Life are currently on the billboard 100, with Passionfruit and Portland debuting in the top 10.

I've been reading a lot of snarky articles rejoicing over the fact but Drake isn't making anymore songs for the remainder of the year but More Life ain't going anywhere, bih. You still gonna hear his shyt. :gucci:

Of course the ATL
Meh...mediocre overall album

Album gets better as it goes on but on first listen it was kinda average. The growth from Drake has come in the form of dancehall riddims, U.K. grime and accessible pop music, he hasn't grown as a hip hop artist in the last 3-4 years. Lose You is probably my favorite record on the album but Drake has made this same kind of song since 9 AM in Dallas. For the new Drake fans who are fans of how diverse Drake is musically they'll love this album, if you want more rap, more life will leave you disappointed

Standouts: Ice Melts, Portland, Lose You, Free Smoke

YO

So i was checking out this genius video about the samples Drake used for More Life...

And the Fake Love bridge is actually inspired by an old song called 'Backstabbers' - now wait for the kicker;

The band name is 'o'Jays'...

Giving that it is largely a public secret at this point, that Jay Z put the battery in Meek's back to go at Drake and also demanded the QM reference tracks from Dj Drama, could it be that this is another well though-out sub to Jay Z - giving the bands name and the title of the song and all that?
:ohhh:

And before you dismiss as a reach - I also remember Boi-1da sampling a Donkey Kong game for the track 6 God (which contain sneak diss lines to Diddy), - and a specific character boss you have to surpass is named 'Diddy', in that game


'Everything is calculated'
:ohhh:
