This album is simultaneously mid af and decently fire at the same time.
Can anyone relate.
I had to delete 10 songs off of FATD to make it a listenable project for me…
Only deleted Padre on this one, but ironically feel like the RnB on this project is mostly a downgrade compared to the highs on FATD (Drew A Picasso, Polar Opposites, Tried Our Best, etc.)
$$$4U is a largely inoffensive listen consisting of many structureless half-songs slapped together, with a handful of strong records…
Was the album a true reflection of the Toronto sound & collaborative history of Drake x PND? Perhaps not fully.
Did the overall production value meet the standard set by previous Drake albums? Maybe in the context of his pre-retirement era (everything post-2018).
7/10 album. Possibly better than FATD & CLB. Not a bad listen! Sparks of genius from both parties involved.
But anyone who acts like this album is even close to what they could’ve made 8-11 years ago is smoking crypto. This album is an echo of what it could’ve been.

Padre hate smh
Threw a tantrum about being called out for being a d*** sucker and hater lol
He barely even reacted to it in his vid as well
Just sat there. Didnt vibe with anything. Had no thoughts on it.
It is clear that these guys take payola and goes into the reaction with a clear point of how they want to react. Like they rehearsed before it. It is just so fake and unnatural.
The best reaction vids are small channels with people just doing it because they love music. They be the most objective unless they stan the opp.
Hard to find a genuine channel in that realm anymore, think all I got left that I enjoy is Mallory Bros
yeah TC is interesting cus i never go to that album ever, its just a me though, i dont think i can even give it a rank
Okay, a bit strange but music is subjective and personal taste can be weird sometimes.
The thing in my list is that pretty much every album above FATD was number one or at least top 3 at some point. All are amazing.
So I don't mind your list or see any reason to trash it.
Naw bro he was successful but they clowned that album man yeah his fans and those who rocked with him at the time loved but like I stayed inside of hip hop they roasted that album it’s part of the reason he switched up during IYRTITL after NWTS
Who?
Cause by virtually all metrics, everyone loved it from the critics to the audience.
You cant be both a victim and one of the highest successful artists that year dawg. Nigga He had rihanna and nicki on that album man when they was hot at fish grease.
I did always say if the internet is what made drake start acting like a mobster than all he did was prove those memes right.
Cause nigga EYE was there for them Lil Wayne memes too. That s*** was 100x worse lol
What's funny is Curren$y, Larry June, and Boldy James fans don't be mad at getting so much music
We be chilling
Drake should catch some flack for unnecessary beat switches like Trav does....
1. IYRTITL
2. NWTS
3. CLB
4. Views
5. Scorpion
6. ML
7. $$$4u/ FATD
8. HL

TC?
Drake should catch some flack for unnecessary beat switches like Trav does....
Q had an entire album of switches
Idk man. I was in 7th grade when this came out. Everyone was playing it. I wasn’t too online back then so idk what people said but irl it connected.
Yeah in real it hit just like all of his albums but the online hate was real they had the boy with his legs in the air with a coloring book for that album lmaooo the tissue memes etc

He catches enough flack Maximus

ill admit i probably listened to tc in its entirety probably like 2 times
Hard to find a genuine channel in that realm anymore, think all I got left that I enjoy is Mallory Bros
Yeah those guys seemed pretty genuine about the music
Havent watched them in a long time though so dont know if they have switched up
Lawtwinz or whatever switched up heavy though. Dudes are corny af and pretty dumb as well.
Damn how Weeknd out stream first day
It was successful when it dropped
Take Care was well received. People weren’t calling it a classic until after Views dropped though. It was like overnight, because Views was hyped up so much, (amazing marketing), it didn’t live up to the hype a lot of people. People started saying Will Drake ever have a classic and boom next day you know Take Care is Drake’s classic because people felt he wouldn’t be able to make one.
Damn how Weeknd out stream first day
His fans (not the female ones) want to suck and f*** him
It’s always been cool to hate Drake. Remember the “Drake the type of” memes in like 2010?
Wouldn’t call that hate, just a funny meme
That's still hate
And 95% of that s*** was not funny, but I know not everyone has high grade humor
Didnt say it wasnt. But notice, I said I still listened in spite of it.
Any CRAZY big artist will attract hate, hell lot of new kendrick fans is hate.
Drake weathering the storm to be the next lineage in the Pharrell, kanye lifeline was what was supposed to happen.
No coincidence since IYRTITL (which yea, marked a change but still had classics like Jungle) that there began to be a shift (imo, was slow cause Views was very successful)
Yeah that’s a gripe I have with this album, as well as most of his projects since 2016. It doesn’t really feel like an “album” at all. The sequencing is horrendous.
LASERS -> MEET YOUR PADRE -> NOKIA -> DIE TRYING is just an absolutely batshit sequence of songs, feels like no thought was put into the flow of the album when you get a 4 track run like that
I genuinely think HUT has fried my brain I can’t listen to playlisty albums no more

Naw you a lie he had some critics that enjoyed it but also critics that clowed it as well all in all it wasn’t perceived well as most folks try to revert back to saying I want that Drake back
