Cliffs from Noisey review..

"The end result is 11 songs that sound like B-sides from DS2 with a healthy peppering of Drake verses thrown on top. The album leans more toward Future’s safe space, with his go-to producers Metro Boomin and Southside having produced a lion’s share of the tape; in contrast, frequent Drake collaborators 40 and Boi 1da only appear once each. Drake may have one of the most commercially successful releases of the year, but Future has the people’s hearts. For an artist as adaptable and paranoid of failure as Drake, a collaborative album seems like an assured path to being stress-free. Yet while combining his powers with Future may look like another page from Drake’s 48 Laws of Power playbook in his quest to conquer rap (and force Meek Mill into isolation), it fails in its method of having Drake suck the power out of a popular act to use it to his own ends. He was able to do it with Migos, Makonnen, and almost Fetty Wap, but his work with Future may mark the first non-win Drake has received in a long time."

Every time Drake reached out to another artist it was calculated, especially since more often than not, the scale was lopsided in his favor. But on What A Time To Be Alive, Drake may have miscalculated Future’s abilities: He was outmaneuvered and outperformed on every song they appeared on together, suggesting that maybe Drake was not the dominant force he claimed to be.

Deadly accurate :huhldup:

Future and Drake were on different playing boards on here.

Future was playing chess while Drake stuck on a checker board.

I think Drake did the right thing. He let Future rock out. Drake can't really be drake on the type of beats Future is Future on. And we damn sure didnt want to hear Future on 40 beats (I know I didn't).

Drake did it right. Let Future cook.

Drake gave us Drake on the end of Diamonds Dancing and on 30 for 30. That was enough.

Just appreciate the meal breh
