He can’t keep getting away with this ish man DAMN!!!

That video has me in tears bro….. 10/10 video of the year drake all these awards

He makes a few adjustments and gives us the same thing every time

Drakes approach is likely “if it ain’t broke, why fix it?”
We want more artistic risks from him (myself included) but I also understand him not wanting to stray away from what has worked for him for the past 12 years. Anything outside of the realm of what he does will be panned instantly. His fan base covers wayyy too many demographics to go completely one way and not the other

The thing is, with the numbers he does, he could make anything and people are going to listen.

Not that they are comparable in any sense, but look at what Tyler did to his “newer fan base”the younger kids who loved IGOR were so thrown off by CMIYGL and DJ Drama, dude made an album that he new some of his fans wouldn’t rock with, but on the contrary, a lot of folks loved it.

Call me a hater all your want, but the artist of the decade shouldn’t just stick to the same formula every single time.

First impressions are everything. CLB should have came with the heat off the rip. I like The Remorse and that should have been the first track. Imagine if the album started off like this:

The Remorse
No Friends in The Industry
Fair Trade
Way 2 Sexy
N 2 Deep
Love All...

I see it from an artistic -v- business standpoint

You right, I agree, more artistic risk SHOULD be taken (at the time, IYRTITL was a deviation and was well received by current fans and casual listeners). From a business standpoint, Drake COULD afford to alienate maybe some of his fanbase in exchange for different artistic direction, and it wouldn’t hurt him/his brand/his pockets much.

Seeing how Drake loves touring (and I’d assume it’s his most lucrative venture) I can see him playing it “safe” to continue to fill seats/maintain the brand

He’s very aware of his perception, even being iffy about sitting down with Budden cause it wouldn’t be a good look for his “brand”

I do think eventually we’ll get his artistic-influenced project when he’s at the later end of his career and it won’t be as risky to experiment

Though I’m indifferent about the statement, I understand the ‘more of the same’ narrative

 

[antidope]

Anyone know if there will be a physical release?

 

[3god]

I think this might be Drake's best album...

 

[stopcappin]

pipe down definitely my favorite on the r&b side … straight flames

 

[stillmatic718]

“I’m sharp/sharpe when it comes to this music, No Skips im undisputed”

What song is this?

 

[onslaught23]

I think this might be Drake's best album...

 

[3god]

He has to be trolling.

 

[sooperhooper]

"lock the door to the bathroom bc they doin something that is not Pepsi'. When i was tipsy i couldn't figure this out smh i was thinking it was a sexual reference, now it's kinda obvious.

 

[sooperhooper]

Anybody remember Optimus prime a phi a

 

[TrafficLightBully]

I’m not even a big drake fan and loving this album, been on repeat all morning

 

[Zo gif]

I need you i need you

 

[sooperhooper]

Honestly don't even feel like giving it another listen, nothing stood out, just a bunch of decent tracks.

album of the year

 

[OrangeBlueGarden]

Views is his best work imo

I think I could understand that if he was a different artist. But based on his bars he thinks highly of himself as a artist. He seems like a go who's striving to be the best so it is kind of shocking he doesn't try to take more chances. It would seem like something easy for him to get away with since he really can do no wrong amongst his fanbase.

 

[rocyaice]

He has to be trolling.

I don't think he is. He's either a fan or he's extremely excited lol. I've seen it time and time again lol. He's on a high right now he'll come down to his senses at some point.

 

[marikomorose]

You especially might as well just agree w/ now & get it over with. Being ahead of the curve looks better in the end.

 

[jaymosenvied]

Played it once and probably won’t play it again. Other than Wayne, nothing really stood out to me.

 

[Carreraa]

Besides like 2 skips , the whole album is FIRE

 

[calye2da]

Still @ Drake dropping 2am est. I start work @ 8:30am est.

With that being said...I can't wait to listen when I get home .
