With how long CLB was in production (almost 2 years), it’s definitely not a stretch to say both Knife Talk and IMY2 were both originally on Savage Mode 2 and MOTM3 and then Drake asked to have them for himself.

make better music

He can keep him fed while not using him again and again and again

Why doesn’t 40 go work w other artists?? His production for Rocky and Bronson was amazing

Cause his fans turned into the worst fanbase ever. I always said that they play such a huge role in him not evolving since Views.

As long as they'll eat everything he puts out and act like it's good music when everyone is telling them that it's not and that they're too blinded to see it he's gon keep dropping more mid cause why wouldn't he man is getting the bag at the end of the day

he honestly doesn’t need to change s*** im done expecting drake to do something he clearly can’t/doesn’t want to do. his fans gonna eat it up every time so he can just keep dropping the same album and be fine

Drake ended up with a popstar fanbase but with only the worst aspects of it

You say to not care about white critics or what white fans think about drake in 2021 but then come into Fantano thread are write essays about why his wrong

Rent free

Anyways clb is like 6 or 7/10 album

Thats by far one of the most simple minded smooth brained talking points regurgitated by 22 year olds living with their parents.

I need Drake to rap about critical race theory and the million man march. And the lizard species

Yea and that’s my problem. He’s putting the fans first, I’m not saying he should isolate his fanbase of course but he can definitely challenge the status quo… just like he did when he first entered the game.

When I heard champagne poetry for the first minute I thought we was about to get drakes best and most different work. Then papis home came on…

Or the second option is that Drake just isn't good enough to evolve but I don't feel like KTT is ready for this debate

big Drake fan but he has changed NOT evolved.

‘evolved’ has a connotation of growth. the themes on CLB don’t show growth. considering his age and the fact he has a child some may even consider it regression.

for example my girl is a Drake fan but F***ing Fans just makes her uncomfortable. personally I love it, but I think this extended Drake phase just doesn’t do it for a lot of ppl.

Same. I actually really like Papi’s Home, so when I heard the first two songs I legitimately thought we were about to get Drake’s undeniable classic… and then Girls Want Girls and In The Bible came on

Your girl slept with papi I'll pray for you

A majority of people that age still live with their parents …

Man is spittin FACTS

don’t you think if my girl could sleep with Drake that’d be a W for me

I’d rather have him stick with his many styles that he’s good at.

Here are examples of Drake experimenting and stepping outside of his comfort zone.

The second song is actually good.

Listen to Worst Behavior

Listen to Connect

There ain’t no s*** out there before OR after that has sounded like that bruh. This man can really make some groundbreaking s*** when he WANTS

Drake critics are strange. The rare artist where it's not good enough to be "good", he has to do things he's never done.

Just make better s*** man

if theyre happy, im happy for them, go find somebody else to listen to that brings you the same joy.
