Listened to every song and overall it's nothing I'd add to my rotation, back to this Slime Season where there's no off putting moments where AAVE syntax is clearly used wrongly, for example, in Jumpman Drake says "them boys up to something they just not just bluffin", he could have alternatively said "them boys up to something no they not just bluffin" and maintained the syllable count and flow while also having syntactically correct AAVE.

This might be nitpicking but one of the things that draws me into trap and drill is the nuance and subtle complexities of AAVE, Drake does a good job in most cases of code switching but when he gets it wrong, it rubs me the wrong way.

For something that was put out for the people

how was this "put out for the ppl", when it's for sale?

Drake is messing up the game even further by distorting the "mixtape" meaning.

Listened to this in full 5 times, including one full spin taking the long way to work. This shyt slaps. If you want to dislike it, go ahead, but Drizzy & Future fed us for the fall

I'm lowkey feeling like these Thugger tags on the metro beats instead of the new "young metro x3" tag is a lowkey bytch move probably orchestrated by Drake because Thugger refuses to do a song with him.

and you know this, how?

mixtapes don't even exist anymore. People aren't rapping on anyones old beats these days.
