he was trying to be more mature bc he wanted to surpass people like Jay-Z at that time, nowadays his direct competition is not the older people but the younger rappers. he could easily make an album that was full of introspection and wisdom but only a minority of people would enjoy it. would not sell well
I do think in time we'll get a project like that, not based on if it sells or the public perception but on Drake's terms and when he wants to give that type of album, rn he seems interested in doing exactly what he wants to do and really try his hand at it, love the last 2 projects and excited for what we got coming up
Nope, lost him in the war unfortunately
People clowned him for being a Chris Brown stan and that was his last straw

Yeah these two projects are incredible
I have high hopes for the next project because I would think up next is the real next full fledged studio album

I know many people don’t like them cause of how bloated they can be, but drake albums are always a special event
Crodie turn me up.

After these two amazing projects I need him to finally beat the bloated curse and hit us with a NWTS type masterpiece
Crodie turn me up.

Definitely agree, I just want him to avoid the trap of making something to please people, this nigga's fan base is so varied it's gonna be almost impossible, but if he sticks to what his own creative vision I think the next studio LP is gonna be crazy
you just pulled all of that outta your ass
not really
listening to the bars from an album like NWTS or Take Care he is in direct competition with people he viewed as the GOATs. even though he collabed with them that was the bar for him
"Like I should be on my best behavior and not talk my s***
And do it major like the niggas who paved the way for us
Like I didn't study the game to the letter
And understand that I'm not doin' it the same, man, I'm doing it better"
"Your lack of effort got me rappin' different"
"My weight up, I refused to wait up, I started a new race
It's funny when you think a nigga blew up after Lupe
Niggas treat me like I've been here for 10
Some niggas been here for a couple, never been here again"
even just off the rappers featured on his albums nowadays vs back then you can clearly tell he's not really aiming for the same targets he did back then
