Didn’t say Tootsie Slide wasn’t charting high, I hear it all the time, but the Levin itself has zero presence, and that’s the first Drake album that’s done that. I keep Pain 1993 in rotation, but there’s really no reason to revisit that album.
I always say, pop rap/r&b drake is the only drake I care about nowadays.
I don’t want to hear rappity rap, and if I do, I don’t want it from his lazy ass.
I got pain, toosie, and desires in rotation, but drake got a old head/nerd demo that loves his tired ass barred up tracks and as long as he caters to them, he can’t drop another classic (last being NWTS imo).
In my opinion, after summer walker dropped a classic with his sound, he’s boxed in.
The only way he drops a classic is with pop rap singles and r&b album cuts.
I don’t think he has another Tuscan Leather in him. Maybe a Free Smoke, but that’s more on the pop rap side with that catchy hook.
