When did Drake start dropping albums based on album sales

i hope he doesn’t. like i said in this thread earlier this is my favorite from him in years, not trying to hate at all. i hope he keeps going out of his comfort zone like this and would love to see him tour this album.

Falling Back is a cool song but I think after the breakdown he could've done a clip for his verse on Jimmy Cooks.
would've been hard as a bachelor party type scene

I thought the tempo was fine actually, I prefer house/club music a little smoother and slower. I'm sure some good remixes will come out of this too, I'd be shocked if it didn't tbh.

A better way to phrase my issues with the album would be to say that I think the arrangements on the tracks don't hook me at all, and I think Drake's flows fundamentally don't work as well as they could

I like electronic music I can live in, and the goal is to find a melody that I can't shake - for example this song from the second Kaytranada album, which is about as mainstream of a house producer as you're liable to find these days

!https://youtu.be/5f3ESdTVI70

The Wizkid + guitar breakdown in One Dance is another example, that's catchy as f***. Tems' vocals on Fountains scratch that itch. His other really successful dance songs have that moment in each one. I didn't get a moment like that from Honestly, Nevermind, and I think it draws Drake's listless flows here into a sharper contrast with the music

It's hard to put into written word but he's very locked into this pattern where eveeeery bar is just, kind of, litling to the neeext, taaaking our time, lots of commas cuz we're just, asking big questions, aaaaaasking big questions abooooout you you YOU you, yoooou you you you which isn't like, inherently bad or out of place with the material. But it works much better for deep house than say Jersey club, you know what I mean? And I think it really runs out of steam by the end of the album. He always feels too far behind the beat on this project. Far be it from me to be praising post-TLOP Ye but I think "I Love It" is a good example of keeping the verses on a poppy house song interesting

Valid critiques and yeah Kaytranada is that guy. Drake could've prob just handed a guy like him a bunch of vocals and came back to a completed album. Those are the guys who need to take these songs and make them special.
