I like how you're still dodging my post about this lol.

Lemme simplify it for you; why would Drake turn to Yeat, Latto, GORDO, Sexxy Redd, thugger and snowd4y for numbers/commercial appeal?

That’s my point too a lot of things he does just don’t make sense if he’s going for commercial appeal and success. He just does what he wants and is successful at it and people tend to conflate the two

Why do you feel that way imo he’s taken more creative leaps with his music since 2016 reaching into different genres and putting his own twist on them. I don’t think we get too many take care type things but from a lot of his music since then I’ve gotten the opinion he does not care about making things that will win him awards or be praised and prefers to make music he enjoys making and he feels like resonates with him personally and NOT trying to appeal to everyone or make everyone happy because it will always be a losing battle. I think in doing that he’s just continued to become more successful and seen more commercial success because of how candid it is

There’s a way to make commercially appealing music without it sounding low effort though. For the most part, all of his projects past 2016 just sound like he’s going through the motions of different styles and sounds rather than focusing and making an inspired project (which is what he did on Honestly, Nevermind, and why it’s a cult favorite)

How does it “sound low effort” ? And I also don’t think he’s really trying to be super commercially successful. Obviously no artist wants their music to flop but I don’t exactly think he’s trying to be Taylor swift either scorpion CLB and her Loss are some of his most focused projects imo and I don’t even like CLB that much.

There are numerous post-2016 Drake album cuts I can point to that just sound very low effort to me

Wdym low effort though? Like he wasn’t trying or inspired or like he’s just trying to make a quick hit? Those are two different things

Collabing with Yeat helps him cross over with the younger audience

Latto & Sexyy Red helps him reach some of those modern female fans that he’s lost in recent years

Gordo is a producer, not sure why you always bring him up, but he makes music in the EDM realm and has fans from that space, Drake working with him helps him reach that demographic

Thug gives him the street fans he’s always made it a point to have

And Snowd4y I’ll give you but that was a borderline joke song released only on SoundCloud

These songs are very high effort

Low effort as in, he doesn’t creatively push himself or challenge himself on the record, and/or it doesn’t sound inspired.

A song like IDGAF for example, that song sounds like it could’ve been made in 15 minutes, and it adds absolutely nothing to For All the Dogs other than attracting young TikTok rap fans
