TurkishWhat would more "mature" music even sound like to you? That just sounds like it would be boring. I don't get what these people mean when they say they want mature music from Drake. You guys wanna hear Drake talk about how he was changing diapers and taking his kid to the park to play ball?
Hopefully this 2 year hiatus gives him something to rap about.

Mature doesnāt = boring.
Away From Home is a very mature, reflective song and itās not boring at all.
Yāall live in extremes so much, Iām not saying the opposite of this content is nothing but father talk, but I would like to hear him talk about these topics from a different perspective. Songs like Tried Our Best, Away From Home, and Iām the Problem (even though it was cut) are all examples of what a mature Drake project would sound like, and none of those songs are boring

Oh, if those are the songs considered mature then Iām in for a classic.

I see what your saying. In that case it just sounds like you want more focused, introspective songs. I don't think mature is the right word for it tho. And what's wrong with a healthy balance. He can have songs like the ones you mentioned, but also have songs that he made having fun. Like the trap bangers and club songs

Away From You is a f***ing fantastic song. But I promise you that most of yall would find a whole album filled with those type of songs boring asf. S*** would get repetitive quick

Thereās definitely a balance to be had, but even with guys like Cole and Kendrick, their āfunā songs nowadays donāt see them reverting to immature lyricism or trying to appease younger audiences.
It feels like on Drakeās ābangerā songs nowadays heās trying way too hard to appeal to Gen Z (and itās weird having this criticism because I myself am a part of a Gen Z)
Oct 9, 2023Ā·2 repliesshaleiroseThis. The fans who are upset are the fans who feel like their favorite artist is not growing with his fanbase. People who were 16-23 when Drake came on the scene are now in their mid to late 30s. I donāt get why some people are acting like itās preposterous for fans of that age range to want to hear some more mature content from a guy whoās going on two decades in the game
Actually i think is exact opposite. His music was more mature in the past. Projects like Nwts, iyrtitl and Views is just proof of that. No need to let guys like Lil Yachty (no offense )to help with the album. While making TC weeknd and 40 were around, while making NWTS 40, bo1da, partynextdoor and Majid Were around on IYRTITL he was pushing himself to prove everybody he is THE rapper, lyricist etc. Now he just dropped another playlist with few higher quality tracks and rest of it sounds like it was made with not much effort put into it. But yea thats just another opinion on this subject.

Theyāll come around. It really is fire. I think if he woulda labeled this a mixtape or a playlist again it wouldāve gotten more immediate praise.

Yeah I agree that his older music was more mature as well, which is another reason why thereās a disconnect with his older fans, because to them it feels like heās aging in reverse instead of growing with his fans
Oct 9, 2023Noticed Drake didnāt do the IG story thing this time where he reposts every dude in the industry who listened

Scary Hours 3 was the best approach for tracks like this i.e. 4:44
Drop 4-5 songs with 6 minutes full bars and s*** and keep that segment of the audience satisfied.
Dropping a 15 track album with full rap s*** will get boring (not for us drake fans) but the dumbasses that are complaining about this album today.

I can definitely agree with that. But that's just Drake's attempts at staying relevant. He always tries to hop on to what the relevant thing is. If he hadn't been this way, most of Gen Z would have declared him 'washed' long ago. It's also why Cole or Kendrick will never be bigger than Drake
