There’s many factors playing all at once that got us where we are today. To blame it all on one thing, especially rappers who were pushing the envelope, is brain dead.
Some factors are streaming era, politics, social media, fashion, generational divides, the fact it’s an aging genre….

feels like classic was already subjective but its becoming increasingly more subjective because its used so loosely now

!https://youtu.be/IcUVgyPAiB8?si=le_xDV3e4mG58wbQI never thought it was deep. I thought it was fresh. Leading up to views, drake had generally made music that really fit the vibe of driving around late at night.
Of course he had a few of his vibey hits like HOWGH but for the most part his music kinda had a dark vibe to it. As a fan, I was glad he went this direction. Especially after the beef with Meek.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who realized this.
All you gotta do is categorize each song as either winter or summer. you’ll see that the album doesn’t follow that concept (which is already shallow level in the first place)
