  • S*** really has no skips and loaded with iconic tracks

    Also its the most representative of the quintessential "Drake Sound" outside of maybe SFG and Take Care, that dark atmospheric Toronto alt rnb sound but still very much lyrical rap style... that is the foundation of who he is as an artist

    If this would have dropped in 2014 when most of these loosies came out (with a propper mix/master, sequencing etc) it would have been an instant classic and immediately in the runnings for Drake's magnum opus imo

    In my head cannon Care Package is the real Views From the 6

    There are definitely classics on there, but nobody is really looking at that like a project with a start and finish. It’s a Drake playlist

    I mean yeah but the tracks actually flow good together like an album

    Its the same with Nas Lost Tapes

    Yeah its a compilation but imo Lost Tapes is a classic and a top 3 Nas project

    His younger fanbase who wasn’t alive / tapped in when he dropped all those tracks actually do treat it like a project

    Very strange

    Idk if you are including me in that group but I was very much tapped in for the release of all those tracks buddy

    Also not young

    It's just a really good cohesive project as a whole with all those tracks together

    Just because the tracks originated from different times and places doesn't mean they can't sound great together

    Every track is incredible, yes, but it's a compilation album. It's the same reason that "Greatest Hits" albums don't get looked as classics because they're not actual projects

    Its a little more than a "greatest hits" though

    With greatest hits albums they are usually well known songs that have been played to death and usually live on other projects

    None of these songs officially live on any other project and none of them are commercial

    Like I said this is more of a Nas Lost Tapes situation than a greatest hits

    No I’m talking about his TikTok fans

    They treat it like a project rather than a compilation & a lot of them don’t even really realize what it is

    For ppl like you & I who actually witnessed it all, I think it holds a deeper meaning. It’s pretty much a time capsule of Drake’s prime run

    It's not entirely similar to The Lost Tapes.

    Lost Tapes was a compilation of unreleased material recorded by Nas in the few years prior

    Care Package is a compilation of material that was officially released by Drake in the years prior, but were just never uploaded to DSPs

    For that reason, it's closer to a Greatest Hits than it is to a Lost Tapes. Drake's fanbase had already known, lived with, and loved these songs for years before Care Package released

    Touché youre not wrong my only push back is people aren’t realistically going back to SoundCloud go listen to these tracks NOW

    Since care package released it became where these songs live and the primary way to listen to any of these songs

    Also to other guy’s point it opened up a whole new generation of Drake fans as well as casuals to those songs who may have never heard them otherwise.

    Idk I guess my point is that just because core Drake fans heard the songs before shouldn’t eliminate it from being considered a great body of work bc it is

  • 100% a classic that represents his insane catalog outside of albums which is so massive that he could release two more of these with songs that fans love and new fans would be blown away by

    It's not a project. Many have listened to these tracks as they came out. It's hard for anyone that has, to view it as a album/project

    Lost Tapes was unreleased material, Care Package was already released material, two different scenarios

  • I don’t count it as an album

  • Every song on there is a classic but it’s not an actual project so it’s not a classic
