My hot take that I'm alone on is that most of his newer records are better than the older ones once the nostalgia is taken off.
Like, I've been listening to Drake since Extra Special and Video Girl off of Room For Improvement...to act like his older material is way better than some of the s*** off of Her Loss and FATD is CRAZY TO ME LOL
Not a hot take at all. Drake has made the best music of his entire career in the last 5-8 years.
This true though
Every year, it's Take Care, but no love for SFG.
It's depressing
Then they have the nerve to say it's just only "nostalgia".
So Far Gone is the best summarization of Drake's overall style and direction as an artist imo.
He may have perfected it on Take Care, but if it wasn't for the stark sounds of SFG, most of Drake's discography would've never existed in the first place.
