Once I removed the bolded songs from my "playlist" (See what I did there? :lolbron:) The album is a strong 4 out of 5 mics at least. granted, I had to remove songs to give it that rating, but I don't even think it's fair to criticize the boy for his Carmen Sandiego moments on albums. I just wish they a) weren't there or b) not back to back to back nah (see what i did there? dont even ask me how) 2nd half of the album has some dope IYRTITL and TC vibes.

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:

When are people gonna realise that Ice Melts is a leftover from Young Thug's Jeffery album. If you like that song, and haven't heard Jeffery, you sleeping.

Drake definitely added a hit record touch with "icyyy like 1017"

Hope they push it at some point

I need you out of Jamaica relaxing :ahh:

Meek on IG acknowledging that he took that ether and yet another L with the 'How you let the kid fighting ghostwriter rumors turn you to a ghost' line
