FATD worse imo
Not mad at that. Again, just think highs of FATD are stupendous. The R&B especially is really great. I think if I lined up my fav songs b/w the two album, 4 of the top 5 are FATD songs
TML has fireworks, the resistance, Show me a good time, up all night (classic Nicki verse), fancy, unforgettable, Miss me, and Fond you love. It’s literally a stacked album full of classic songs
Respect your take. It’s the Drake album I play the least. Played it in full yesterday while cooking and…man…to me it’s clearly Drake’s worst project. I think every album after (and SFG) are way more polished and skillful executions of what he was attempting on TML. Like some of the hooks on that album seem so out of place with the rest of the song.
Plus - He’s spoken about it himself, but you could definitely hear/feel the label influence on the project.
idk to me its just like a roty season
not his best by all means but it def showed me that he was gonna be worth the hype
also songs like ceces interlude are amazing to me
Agreed on timeless hits piece. I think the lows of TML are more present and lower than any other “album”
Which lows
You gotta track the trajectory.
First the journalists were mad that the hip hop artists were starting to run it up in the podcast game.
So this was Elliot, B Dot, Ebro, Rosenberg, etc.
Now it’s the streamers competing with the podcasters and so it’s a similar reaction, just further down the chain.
Meanwhile they all hating on a dude that recognizes shifts in the food chain and is proactive about making sure he’s always top dog…not talking the label either

Is this man stupid? There is no hype why not put out a lead single?.. dude the angels want u to florish but ur dumb asf
I get it man. But idk it’s not really this egregious thing to me personally.
I think Drake gives sit downs to certain people to come off as accessible to a demographic that might be considered the cheap seats in media even though they kinda are, even if we hate to admit it, more prominent today than figureheads in hip hop media. And I think he also looks at the Elliot Wilsons of the world as feeling entitled to a sit down. That’s why they get so flustered when he sits down with that bird chick bobbi or whatever.
Idk man, after looking deeper into streamers and how they have been positioned behind the scenes, all of it looks like a facade to me, I think both mainstream media and streamers are a redundant way to check the temperature, personally speaking
Which lows
I really don’t like Karaoke and Thank Me No. And I think Over and Find Your Love didn’t age well sonically.
Not tryna be a hater - it’s still a good album and this is just my take

They are neither as talented nor as hard workers
It is why they always do this and been doing this for years
yeah but thats why kendrick had a historic drop off in streams and drake is at all time highs
Because of streamers or because of his amazing and vast discography?
I think Kendrick and Drake are both extremely successful, catering to streamers is something I expect Quavo or Iggy Azaelia to do, because they need relevancy much more than Drake or Kendrick do

No, I actually dont mind it
Him saying less and letting others spiral is working wonders

Not talking about their integrity, but it’s just a different silhouette of the same thing man.
Like Miss Info is not some high degree of separation from where we are now.
fireworks to karaoke to the resistance is crazyyyyy
Resistance is one of them ones man
how there are some sad songs on this s*** will help with my depressionmaxxing

I’m not even talking about the integrity, their popularity is also a facade, besides the really huge ones, most of them are botting their views crazy, and the real numbers are not that impressive
I’m not a pro mainstream media guy either, both seem pretty obsolete to me
We need moments, like the pop out, Larry Hoover, DONDA, something tangible, those are what move the needle, not a twitch chat
Need iceman to be full of 30 for 30s
It is never gonna be that though
But he will likely be going off
Dont worry
I really don’t like Karaoke and Thank Me No. And I think Over and Find Your Love didn’t age well sonically.
Not tryna be a hater - it’s still a good album and this is just my take
I still cut a rug to find your love

Cheer up f*** nigga
