Very cool

I get it a lot of people want Drake to “mature”

But before we address character / content
We need to talk about sound

I really wish he would give us a NWTS IYRTITL type album

Im not even one of those people that want a short album, I just want ATLEAST 7 hip hop bangers that slap like the heaters of the 2013-2015 era. Trap banger aggressive Drake is the best Drake im sick of pretending it’s not. Dont gas light me

In order for this to happen he needs boi1da and 40 heavily involved. And he needs to bring back his angry yelling at the mic delivery, I need that 6 God, 0-100 voice.

As far as character arc goes, ideally for me he just give us the unapologetic ion give af IYRTITL swagger with added years of experience. How Drake feels about the game and his place in it 10 years after he became champ

someone said he morphing into DDG

40 is retired

i think her loss is the spiritual sequel to iyrtitl but our nostalgia regarding iyrtitl won't let us accept it

I was listening to 'Look What You've Done' today and I feel the issue is Drake completely forgot what used to appeal to people, I understand how he's changed his sound to keep up with the times but it is sad because I'm sure Drake could say some very geniune introspective things but chooses not to becaise he doesn't want to ruin this crafted persona

You have to be a person in the emotional and mental space to be willing to make that sound first

Carti is always trying new things lol

KEEP

Drake needs to make something DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT PLEASE UGHH THIS F***ING GUY

Y’all always say this like it’s some gotcha but it’s not lmao

Drake has like five or six bags he gets into nowadays

Nobody is saying something like Hours in Silence sounds like Champagne Poetry

But Hours in Silence is very similar to all of the R&B he’s dropped this decade

And Champagne Poetry, while it’s a great song, is very similar to the “no hook one long verse” formula he’s done for his serious rap songs his entire career

When Drake releases music nowadays there’s a 99% chance it sounds like one of five lanes that he’s become reliant upon since like 2016

There’s:

• Serious Rap Song (one long verse, no hook)
• Crooning R&B Song
• Island Song (or whatever the World Flavor of the Month is)
• Turn Up Song
• Vibey Washed Out Melodic Rap Song

Look at all of his projects this decade and majority of the songs fall into one of these categories

Even all of the Iceman singles so far fall into all of these boxes

That’s why some people really love Honestly, Nevermind because it was a drastic change from the formulas he’s become accustomed to

B**** I GO TO DREAMS WITH A SUITCASE

Wow that hit me hard Ngl

But If he is confirmed to be retired I can accept it but the not knowing is what bothers me

And I see ur point about her loss too :/

True

Who cares what any of you virgin nerds want from Drake man? Lmao

Legit sound like such idiots

If you don’t like it don’t listen. I promise he will be your most played artist at the end of every year.

At this time in Drake's current age,

Nas released "Life is Good" at 39 and Jay-Z was releasing "American Gangster" at 38.
Two very grown-up projects.

Wtf is Drake doing? Dude is worse than Jim Jones at maturing at this point.

Oh wow life is good and American gangster! Grown up!

Such a smart take 😳😱😱😳😱

Don’t worry about Drake doing little hoe

this is literally a good big sean song

take that as you will

How you goin promise another person that your favorite artist gonna be their most played artist

Yall Stans something else man

This s*** sound aggressively mid

This nigga a album away from me just saying f*** it I don’t fw this mf no more man

And drake the artist that even motivated me to get on KTT, used to be my favorite active rapper for a few years. But I’m just over the treadmilling man s*** is embarrassing atp.

its straight heat
