I actually agree with this, f*** the critics. But I feel like since Scorpion, Drake's worst enemy has lowkey been his fans cause he keeps trying to please them at the sacrifice of the quality of his music and even ability.
We've heard Drake put out better albums that stuck to a sound/vibe instead of feeling like a collection of random tracks thrown together.
I feel like it's an insult to Drake for him to be compared to Chris Brown, because at least with Drake despite him bloating his albums at times, there was still a sense of quality control. Chris Brown really just squats out some generic and forgettable s***e that his fans accept cause they have god awful taste. I don't know man, I just feel like Drake should want more for himself than, because he has shown he is capable of doing more and still being wildly successful. It's how he got so successful in the first place.
The pivotal moment was Views to me because when the critics didn't receive it like he hoped, he pivoted to the fans exclusively. Plus the whole Rolling Stone thing before messed up his relationship with mainstream media.
Also Drake fans are very diverse. We aren't Beyhive where they are coordinated. There's UK Drake, Tropical Drake, ATL Drake, R&B Drake and Hip Hop Drake. Part of what makes him great in my opinion.
Yeah he's made offensive jokes before, that doesn't mean he's MAGA
I think he is MAGA adjacent like a lot of guys like Tim Dillon etc but he’s like a soft Trump critic now this term on stuff like ICE (same pivot as slimey f***s like Joe Rogan who ofc did endorse trump)
People talking about Sam Hyde and adam friedland in the drake thread on ktt I can’t escape discourse anywhere I go
Fake feds ICE line actually cold tho
this why beat switches kill a song sometimes cause that last half of ran to atlanta was fire.
Cole and Drake both having zero substance ICE punchlines on bloated abomination albums
Nobody in here quoting bars man this s*** must be mid I’m glad I fell asleep at 10PM
Good policy to have
Assume every white person is racist until they prove otherwise
Makes things less surprising
Need the Fantano review to drop so I can know if I like this album or not
Don’t worry he’s giving it at least a 4/10 and the other 2 albums a 1/10 so save ur time and don’t like any of them
such a good album
he's the only rapper that gets this much flack for them too
when every rapper got those all over their albums
It’s bad faith listeners. They going in wanting to find something they don’t like. The easiest way to do that is take one line that isn’t that serious and make it out like OMG THIS IS SO CRINGE BAD WRITING CORNY

Learned this when I was around 13
Firm Friends should be time stamped
Love this track
Sounds like he hates Trump and hates woke young people which like I said is like normal liberal dumb bro guy stuff. Like rogan from before Covid
Right, which means he's not MAGA
Ak is definitely MAGA or MAGA-adjacent but Gillis ain't
The people who associate comedy with how they vote have done a bang up job so far
its the other sides fault for losing to actual f***ing morons, hopefully Newsome can actually remember that independents win elections if a shots to even be had. them boys f***ing up left and right (pun intended)

He put Shane Gillis in his visual album. Opens himself up to it
People get in their feelings to this music
