Drake definitely still be listening to Erase Me if he making Princess
after playing a few songs from ICEMAN, i think i was right
H - Her Loss
M - Honestly, Nevermind
I - Certified Lover Boy
Some how some of y’all have already listened to 3 albums enough to have a take on them. I didn’t think I could really take Drake seriously after the beef.. I wanted to but idk.. his s*** seemed hollow and I still don’t like the tracks like where he tries to catch that “non stop” type wave and sound
But he is for the most part. Really rapping.. over some of the best real hip hop production hes rapped over on a decade.
Some of this production is truly amazing.. he might have some corny lines here and there but
Iceman might be the best solo drake album since IYRTITL and I appreciate the sound of it more than that
Still some tracks that are just so goofy.. like dog youre 40 years old.
Now I can’t speak on the other two
make them cry was off putting cuz I thought we might actually get a really mature drake on this whole thing
I'm glad we got the other ones tho cause that bag is incredible and SO much better than bloating one album
Genius move, and not even for the obvious reasons.
Drake and Kendrick both had deals with UMG, and UMG heavily promoted “Not like us”, which hurt drake’s credibility with false claims. They intentionally tried to hurt drake’s image so they could weaken his contract renegotiations if they ended up having them, which is why Drake is suing them.
Umg obviously has been with Drake now due to being sued, so they hardly promoted iceman at all. All of iceman’s promotion was directly through Drake and OVO with no major promotion from UMG.
This is important, because if Drake somehow manages to land 3 albums in the top 5 in Debut and get a crazy amount a sales on top of critical acclaim, then it proves Drake doesn’t need the machine or it’s support to succeed or to even thrive.
This is invaluable when it comes to potentially signing another deal. This could potentially secure him like a LeBron-Nike type deal from like Apple or someone adjacent. He could even just choose to stay independent, since he clearly doesn’t even need the machine at this point and keep all that profit for himself.
Genius move and proves that he is one of the most important artists of all time. Imagine if he secure the top 3 album spots on debut. He would be the first artist in history to not just debut in the top 3 spots, but to ever have the top 3 spots simultaneously.
He is also set to potentially have 11 albums in the top 200 by next week with these latest 3 albums, since he currently has 8 already right now. He will pass Taylor swift (who had 10 albums in top 200 at one time), and will only trail David Bowie who had 17 at once. Legendary

What lol
honestly a pretty good album with a couple of misses
his best prod in a very long time
i agree
i could of done without sexyy red and that cench feature
Insane the negative shift this dude has entered at this point in his career. Wild to see what he used to put out versus this. A shame
Habibti
Iceman
Maid of Honor
The HIM trilogy
Tired, lethargic, low energy, lacking inspiration.. this is really magnified on the other two albums feels like he’s phoning it in
I don’t think he’s phoning it in at all actually. I think he’s trying, but the result is just not very good
I don’t want to hear Drake rap over anything with a high hat again.
Man wants Drake on drumless alchemist beats ONLY
alright bro
Bro he always does this sing song ass flow and abc 123 ass raps over them beats man
Im tired man. There’s been like 10 of these on his albums since scorpion
What lol
the vibes of each project
ik Habibti is more R&B but his vocals are mixed same way as Her Loss
