The money fame and women changed him most likely

Kendrick's albums are very formulaic too imo

I don't think change the main theme of the album is "something new"

I mean I enjoy them a bunch

But to say DAMN and Morale are not in his same style is cope

Kendrick has a formula that works for him and his fanbase

All of this is facts, but this still doesn’t answer the question on how Drake can be viewed as pop and Future isn’t.

Drake has topics that he talks about the same way Future does. Both rap, both sing, both make music for the charts and the clubs and the radio. Both have songs catering to women and both have songs catering to men. Both drop project after project in attempts to maintain relevance in the audience’s ear.

Future is my third favorite rapper of all time but we’re not about to sit here and act like he’s some socially conscious artist that can’t possibly be classified as pop. Him and Drake are extremely similar artists (especially post-2015), so there’s no reason why Drake is pop and Future isn’t

Yeah they are, and in a way, it’s a part of his charm since the TDE days. TDE used to have an album formula that their fans would be familiar with. Conscious songs, hard songs, possee cuts, with call backs to previous songs.

In all honesty I’m failing to think of an artist that doesn’t have a formula because the harsh truth is all music is formulaic and just math really

AI will prove that

They’re really not. Morale’s production is a lot more orchestral and theatrical than DAMN.’s

Don't see how that doesn't make them formulaic

Story telling albums with poppier tracks thrown in

Different style of beats doesn't mean its a change in the formula (I don't even really agree they are that different)

That’s quite literally what it means. Music is an auditory experience.

A “formula” in music can be applied to someone like Lil Baby.

GKMC, TPAB, DAMN., and Morale are all completely different albums
