i do think this was the point of the record and everybody just missed it lol

it’s supposed to combine new and old
that’s why bruh son did the cover

idk maybe im reaching

I feel like Jay asked to be on Love All after he heard the leak and Drake couldn't say no

Because there’s no way Drake had that Love All/Need Me that transitioned perfectly to scrapping it for that Hov verse

Drakes albums say a lot unintentionally

the thing is, ruining a basic Yeat song with an overwrought nonsensical intro and a cringe verse isn’t quite merging 2 generations.

I agree
More trappy beats

More braggy verses (I guess kinda)
He got way more popular since that old drake tho
How do you feel about fatd though?

I agree with this and disagree with this at the same time.

Sure, it’s true that artists who aren’t able to adapt to modern sounds will get left in the past, but at the same time if you’re an artist of Drake’s stature you don’t have to chase trends to maintain relevance.

Look at someone like Ye, who has remained relevant in part by collaborating with younger artists throughout the course of his career, but he always manages to bring them into his world and create something unique rather than just riding whatever wave that artist is trending for.

Donda had some of the most contemporary features of 2021, but that album still manages to have one of the most unique and singular soundscapes of Ye’s entire discography.

There are songs on For All The Dogs where Drake is literally just laying a verse down on a Yeat song or a Yachty song and not attempting to actually create anything unique with these newer artists, and instead rather just latching onto their hype to tap into younger audiences

Hoping this has the honeslty nevermind effect and I like it more soon. Currently I feel really mixed. Some good rnb but I don’t know it’s just not clicking right now after a few listens. Tried Our Best, 8 am in Charlotte, and some others feel really polished but some others I just don’t really get it. But I also trust like usually drake and his camp know what I will eventually grow to really like so I’m trying to remain optimistic.

Damn so he doesn’t rly like the album?
He’s a BIG drake fan too lol

I like it overall, I think it’s a really entertaining listen.

But I think it’s too long, some of the lyrical content is a little eyebrow raising for Drake at this point of his career, and I don’t like how it feels like he’s shamelessly pandering to reach a younger market with this project.

But I do like it overall, I’d give it maybe a 7/10 right now.

He said it likes it but he doesn’t love it

He really pulled a Marvel :( and I love the album, as I said it might be his top 3.

My take on that situation is it was too damn obvious it was about Jorja and I think maybe he didn't want that out there officially

But the first half is still a great song (imo it catches the essence of a Drake classic perfectly) and I think he figured may as well have Jay on there and make it into a high quality thought piece

S*** happens cant blame u

If you let the chirping around you affect you then it is what it is.

None of that stuff is real.

This is an incredible project.

A lot of it pretty much sounds like original songs from his features that were given to him to add on to.

On IDGAF he sounds like a feature.

On Another Late Night he sounds like a feature.

On Gently he sounds like a feature.

Calling For You just sounds like two combined solos that don't go together.

First Person Shooter is cool in the beginning, but it still broke off into what sounds like something you'd hear him do with 21 Savage in the second half.

There's stuff to love of course but it just doesn't feel complete.

He doesn’t rock w it

People call this too long or bloated when its on par with every other drake album???

This is my take! The quality of production is elite! The execution is high level stuff

I don't think that's the case because everyone knew Jaded was blatantly about Jorja

And now he has a song blatantly about Hayley Karina in Bahamas Promise he's literally singing her name

And yeah first half is quintessential Drake no doubt

And that's so weird because it always felt the other way around with Drake and his features

Didn’t he have like a 4 year wait from scorpion and CLB?

Care package and dark lane don’t get since they were throwaways and old classic songs we heard

I think he has some bitterness towards the Jorja situation so much to the point that he won't really mention it even in his music since it may indirectly boost her career

I may be reaching but Drake talks about all his exes/flings and since Jaded he hasn't really touched this topic and he even reworked I Could Never to take her off

So when I say he didn't want it out there officially I mean it more as an ego thing

Also taking off the second half of Love Me willingly is crazy it was THAT song that made me feel like Drake never left

Damn that got me so excited lmao
