that’s me and CLB/FATD
hated them s***s. relistened under different contexts. s*** just hits, sorry lmao. some of his best raps in years (CLB) and the nigga was finally talking from his heart in his own way (FATD)
Faaacccccts bro I actually went back and forth on both of these like twice, I hated them then loved them then was indifferent towards them now I've settled on them just being good Drake projects not masterpieces by any stretch of course. Ultimately its sequencing and bloat that brings them both down. Drake's achilies heel
Metacritic:
65/100 J.Cole - The Fall-Off
54/100 Drake - Some Sexy Songs 4 U
87/100 Kendrick Lamar - GNX
Kendrick ended the debate.
Y'all make liking Kendrick embarrassing
It does nothing for my ego to hold on to a bad take to save face
I mean ain't nothing wrong with standing on business but people need to grow up fr
Dudes will dead ass slander an album they listen to daily just because they don't want to say they was wrong lol
I mean I think it's pretty fair to say not the classic/reasonable doubt he hyped it up to be, while acknowledging that it's still a good-great album. Its just that these days people think it's gotta be classic or trash with no in between
The writer doesnt determine the score,but the pitchfork writer didnt understand the hip hop as a woman metaphor on I Love Her Again is crazy
No one has media literacy anymore
I've seen numerous people say the album has the same concept as FHD when FHD was loosely based on his childhood and this is so far from that

FHD forsure had a homecoming story to it but it was more about him grounding himself after dealing with Hollywood.
Disc 29 picks up right after FHD, where he starts realizing he had an idealized version of Home that just ain't there anymore and he starts having the same realization about music

exactly! This is my issue with FATD. I’m listening to the first half like damn this s*** is a mess but then he gets into his melodic bag at 7969 Santa and by Bahamas Promises I’m like okay nigga, where tf was this track 1-7 cause this all quality right now and I’m coooool on Drake’s singing lol
it really became apparent to me when I was at the airport waiting to get on a flight (ironically to the Bahamas) and Bahamas Promises came on…I was like yea this nigga needs to fix his sequencing ASAP cause the album coulda just started at 7969 Santa + the back half + bonus songs and be a top Drake project smdh that s*** was hitting my entire flight just in my mind with his melody’s and topics/lyrics. idk why he be bloating s***, throws off the quality that is there
Bro he coming to VA if he pulls up to Richmond I may have to slide through

It's been this same story since Views
He makes great songs but doesn't care to make great albums anymore
Certain artists I don't really care for publication reviews for and Cole def one of them. Imagine saying this album worse than cole world sideline story lmao

CLB truther this way, take a couple songs off that (In the Bible, Way 2 Sexy, YOLT) and its an undeniable classic
some of his best songs this decade (and career) are on that album so its funny when people try to act like the whole project is garbage top to bottom lmao
Bro he coming to VA if he pulls up to Richmond I may have to slide through
i hope he pulls up to the DMV or Baltimore next, i gotta get my girl a signature

I simultaneously believe that it has some of his best songs ever on it and that it’s also his worst studio album

it’s outliving everything released after it
I made a playlist out of CLB + DLDT >>> his best eras this decade
Bro frontloads the project with that trash ass Daylight song Fear of heights that annoying 21 interlude like he has some his worst s*** and his best on there
s*** is a trip and annoying lmao, like bro I am actually trying to like this s***
don't make it harder lmaoo

nah worst is FATD fosho
CLB has no more than 4 removable songs. i dont even think they’re bad, just did not need to be on that album
CLB is his best album this decade, followed by HNVM & then Her Loss
