The 2020s drake is a better artist than 2010s drake. Let me explain though.. so the 2010s for drake were obviously insane.. two undeniable classics in NWTS and Take Care (I personally think there’s 4 classics with views and IYRTITL added to the mix but I’ll be generous for the sake of KTT), but those projects we’re hyper focused on the theme of the albums and cohesiveness (for the most part). But something shifted at the more life era where drakes albums become more a playlist of great songs more than a cohesive body of work. Also, he began to branch out musically after views and really tried to make OVO a global sound. This includes afrobeats, dancehall, etc. then after experimenting with these sounds he began implementing them on his albums as a “version” of himself. Hence fountains on CLB, Honestly Nevermind as a whole project, and Gently on FATD. I’m sure there are other examples but you get my point.

Either way, I sum all this up by saying as drake has branched out with all of these sounds it’s tough to put rapping drake, singing drake, dancehall drake, etc on one project but he’s going to do his best to find a way which is why these albums seem all over the place. There’s a theme for his projects but unless he makes another honestly nevermind it’s impossible to follow said theme all the way through because he’s trying to please a diverse group of listeners. This has created layers to his career that weren’t there in the 2010’s and some people have a hard time peeling those layers back but when you do.. you realize drakes pen, his pocket on beats, his voice inflections and creativity are all greatly improved in the 2020s. 5 am in Toronto was great and it had bars on there that made you think, but 8 am in Charlotte is a song 2010’s Drizzy could never write and that’s just one example I’m using.

There’s more to my thoughts so I know these paragraphs aren’t fully complete, but I’m trying to keep it as short as possible lol. I think you’ll understand what I’m trying to say.

Same. I can just hear a dramatic change in his pen from the 2010s compared to 2020s. It’s like substantially better. Bro isn’t beating the corny bars allegations but when he starts rapping rapping it’s no contest.

He do the corny on purpose

I noticed he used more of that stage presence he uses when hosting to appear a way

To me it's more of a comedy writing style and I think it's woven into music greatly

In my opinion, the stretch from No Friends In the Industry to The Remorse is the weakest stretch of songs in Drake’s entire discography.

I love a handful of songs in the first half of the album, but that second half, overall, ruins the entire album for me
