    Well said

    Like when a song from 2013 leaks you can feel its NWTS-coded

    When a song from 2011/12 leaks you can feel its Take Care coded

    When a song from 2016 leaks you can tell it has the Caribbean inspired, luxury sound he intended with that album.

    Songs like Cheerios, Bal Harbor, Secrets, At The Gates could literally be on FATD, Scorpion, CLB.

    I just want him to lock in man

    He needs to find a direction.

    Icemans direction this time can't be "well it's Drake"

    Because CLB, Some of ML, Scorpion, FATD had this flat vaulty feeling that most of the songs could be swapped out across each album and it be the same project.

    CLB imo is probably he best post-Views but even that is clogged with so many average songs, it could have been a good 12-13 song album but he goes to please everyone.

    FATD is a s*** version of that with even less standouts, I remember when it dropped and there IDGAF & FPS were the only two big songs.

    He has high moments on every post-views album but its muddle with mediocre.

    He just needs a change in direction for now. Even $$4U felt samey. That's why I like NOKIA alot, it might feel safe but its different.

    I hated Nokia. It’s again, a verse and a half. He needs more lyrically dense songs.

    100%

    That's why I really like The idea of the FATD Scary Hours, because they all felt coherent.

    I dont rly like the production BUT it felt different.

    Nokia is half a song BUT it recaptured some of that creative spark he lacked because he kept defaulting into singing Drake. The production on that song hard carries but its good

    Funnily enough HNVM is my fav Drake album since IYRT lol

    Sticky one of his best songs imo

    I'd argue there not even albums. He just records alot and then decides to put it out

  • YoungBreezy

    Secrets from CLB no?

    Scorpion to CLB sounds similar because plenty of OG CLB songs were recorded in late 2018-early 2019. think CLB leakszn songs and 90% of DLDT

    But all he had to do was drop a smaller album with the good songs and remove the s*** ones

    but he chose to pad it out

    Bring back the theory that he was just on a money run with umg, and was holding out on dropping concise classics until renegotiations.

  • Blue Man

    Literally the only other rapper that’s on drakes level artistically is Kanye but he went insane. How are y’all trying to give the guy with the Midas touch advice on making music. The day he falls of is when he listens to ktt

    the guy who had the midas touch

    That’s always a lazy theory

    And I HATE when people call it the “frank ocean” when Frank literally dropped TWO classics and didn’t drop slop to get out of his contract

    the guy literally STOPPED rapping at length. It’s just weird. The verses are like fractions of ideas.

    Supermax sounds like fat d?

    Edit: my bad not a single

  • Fatd always felt like a playlist like more life. It doesn’t give studio album energy. Going back to the umg money run theory. Just something to fulfill the contract.

    True but was just listening to middle of the ocean and he was going off.
