Damn, More Life >> Views >>>> Scorpion

I really didn't see that coming. Now I know why 21 Savage was talking about putting some respect on Drake's name, nikka definitely wrote on this.

Summer games, Peak and Ratchet Bday are the only songs I can see myself skipping

But the productions is flawless and this is another collection of music that exposes how weak his rapping was on Views

Drake’s quotable, flows and deliver are all top tier on here. shyt meshes very well

Subject matter, substance and the diversity of emotions explored are an A+ too

Drake touches on some shyt that the people claim to have substance but only touch on cliche black struggle topics could never make music about

I thought this nikka was about to get into his bag, but this project started with a bunch of solid tracks, but they were all missing that UMPH.

It's like Vince Carter losing his hops.

Drake was rapping like a humbled man.

It's just missing something. He need to get his glow back, because this could've been a lot better than it was.

Just a decent album according to my rating system.

I really did not like the B side outside of a few tracks.

Artists are really just throwing stuff to wall and seeing what sticks.

Chris Brown - 38 tracks "Heartbreak on a Full Moon"
Migos - 24 tracks "Culture II"
Drake - 21 tracks "More Life"

With the way streams are working people just crank out quantity and quality suffers

Sitting here jammin' to Side B of Scorpion wondering why the hell did I have to suffer thru Side A.

IMO, there is one keeper (Emotionless) on Side A and somehow just 1 bad song on Side B (Ratchet Happy Birthday). Can't ever remember a double album with such a glaring difference in quality between discs.

This is pretty much a middle of the road Drake album. Like I expected, this would have been a better drop with about 12-15 tracks max. There are definitely 5-6 standout tracks across the whole album, but for me there's too much that I probably won't ever listen to again. :ehh:
