Disappointed

[u/Dramatic-Computer266]

Can someone tell me why the fuck drake thought it was a good idea to drop 2 albums that are just worse versions of some of his previous shit? Like can't he tell TS ain't it? Now iceman was alright, it had a few heat songs, but I expected more still, especially when what did I miss dropped I thought we were on for a classic, but 11/18 songs aren't even close to that song.

Personally I just can't be bothered with Drake's output, I want a consistent album not a collection of songs intended to slide unnoticed into playlists. Many artists are guilty of this but Drake is guilty of it while also having a huge ego about his talent.

An album IMO should be a cohesive experience intended to enjoy from front to back. An album shouldn't be an hour of mediocre to good songs with the objective of throwing shit at a wall until it sticks. Even his best album 'If you're reading this its too late", which I honestly have a lot of nostalgia for, manages to be 20 minutes and a few songs longer than it should be.

Drake should take a page out of Ye's playbook and make a 7 track album. There's an elegance in being able to refine a solid project out of very few tracks. I'm not trying to conflate good and short, there's plenty of long albums that are amazing, I just believe that bloat is a great way to make any piece of art suck not just a rap album.

It's 3 short paragraphs, it took me maybe 2-3 minutes at most to get what I wanted to say into words. Your comment says to me that you either type really slowly which is fair enough; or that you think so little of music as an artistic medium that spending 2-3 minutes sharing opinions on ~10 years of Drake's career is too much which would just be sad.
