He’s had moments of greatness all throughout his career but
2013-2015 is his most consistent period especially if we’re talking hip hop
Im a big Drake fan, I have nothing but love for his style but I also do understand when his peak was
I wanna hear what yall think
Is it ghost writers, is he not focused, is it Tik tok?
Whats causing the issues that he isnt able to make a 10 bands or a 0-100 today. Does he not want to?
The formulas of those songs shouldn’t be that hard to replicate even though their great songs they are pretty straight forward all things considered
Because every rapper has an era where their are at the absolute peak of their prowess and remain unable to capture after.
Every artist, really.
But that formula is so obvious and straight forward. and every time he makes something in that rhythm it’s without fail the hardest s*** out
During the beef push ups and family matters both had elements of that IYRTITL production style
Because he makes shallow streaming slop that his stans and casuals eat up, there’s no incentive for him to drop a classic
Iceman won’t be any better, s***s gonna be ass while a loud minority of online dweebs are gonna label it a classic day 1
he was hungrier imo
4pm calabasas was the last song I felt Drake was really hungry
Sad line tbh
so real doe
Ironically many people say Drake has refused to evolve as an artist.
So what is it?
He’s been the same since he came or he’s continued to develop his sound?
But also people change
Drake himself says he’s changed. He’s more comfortable with his artistry and isn’t afraid to experiment.
If you miss his 2013 sound listen to his 2013 music. No great from 2013 sounds the same in 2025
to be fair, can we name any other artist that can replicate/duplicate their prime/peak performance? (especially in rap. maybe nas?) it feels like an unfair ask of him if there’s not many examples of artists executing that

this too
not hungry anymore and he found out the streaming bait formula with views and did it for 10 more albums after

neither nas or Drake had a particularly long streak of classics
Hov, Kendrick, and Ye all peaked for longer when it comes to classic albums
Another drake thread 💔🥀

Y’all gotta be the only fanbase on here that cries over simple s*** like threads being made
