I actually disagree, ain´t even been to Canada, but sounds like the music that they´re feeling and trying to capture the music scene over there and blow it up on a bigger platform...

what does this have to do w homie s post?

@Elzo69Renaissance About it having no theme... i believe the intention was to capture the music scene/taste over there and have this album reflect it, which would also make sense with the title, album cover and overall creative direction of the project.

Gonna say it now and you niggas can quote me.

This album will be remembered as Drake's equivalent to Jay's Kingdom Come. Potentially worse because unlike half the world, I actually liked Kingdom Come and Jay's pen game was never in question.

There are major parallels between the two scenarios.

Drake has drastically underperformed with this drop at a time in which he needed to deliver in the face of real rap niggas (fans and artists). Instead, he has not only let us down, but I'm seeing massive disappointment amongst his legion of stans.

If he doesn't follow up with some major heat in the form of loosie drops this summer, then he's got major problems inbound in the form of niggas who are looking at him as artistically vulnerable.

Out of 20 cuts, I came away enjoying only 4 or 5. Two of which are singles. I don't understand why this nigga does this to himself. Why isn't Summer Sixteen on this shit? Just like why wasn't Trophies on the last drop. Does he not like anthems on his projects?

That would be all fine and good, except he's been doing the same thing for the last 7 years now. How many more times I gotta hear about this nigga corny ass love life? Or his fucked up friends. Don't this dude got other shit on his mind?

It's a decent rnb album for the females..thats it..there's not enough rapping for me on this joint for me to review it...smh

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Lol I don't see any of his fans not liking his album y'all just be saying anything j agree with letting rap fans down cuz all he did just stayed to his lane. Actually this is basically take care 2 just its not as emotional just the singing and melody of it it's take carish

 

[270crownst]

It's almost to me like he don't give a fuck about the rap fans...females and drake will love this album...true rap fans...it's a different story

I don´t see how that is accurate, I´d see more of a point if you said that the album is heavily influenced by the dancehall scene, this isn´t even one of his most personal albums yeah there is a few cuts where there are references but that is only natural, so I can´t see where you´re coming from.

This a 20 part mega track about some ex drake is still hurt from.

But on take care there are a couple tracks dude flexes his lyrical ability like. No track on here touches Lord Knows or even underground kings. The one real rap track Weston rap flow ain't even that good. It's just no rapping on here so people are liking this one because it's the only time he really spits

Go to the #ViewsFromThe6 hash on twitter right now, then reassess this.

Oh my mistake, when he wasn't talking about what you bolded he was on his usual full of himself/half baked lines & weak singing. Dude is a talent I won't front on that but this album is exactly what I expected. Boring as fuck & the same formula as the other ones. I don't even fuck with Future like that but What A Time to Be Alive kinda gave me a glimmer of hope that he was serious on the mic. I was mistaken.

Overall it was a waste of time. I've said it before he has all the potential in the world to drop a all around dope album. He keeps catering to his demo cuz they the ones who buy the albums. I'm ready to face facts that the person reflects the artist. If you got a shallow tunnel vision view than that's what you'll get in all aspects. Other than a few ok tracks I can't honestly say that this is Drake at his best. I would say maybe he needs to go through some career adversity or criticism (like say, LL with Momma Said Knock You Out) in order to bring the best outta him.. But we at a time where the general public & dick riders are gonna say things are dope just cause. He's just not worth being bothered with.

Pardon Me.......

I want to give this a honest chance. Surprisingly, I'm expecting this to be decent. Or maybe I'm just growing up and like sophisticated music.
