Boat album better

I feel like Drake dropped the ball big time with this album. With a title like “For All The Dogs” and him saying “girl don’t temp me” I was expecting toxic Drake, Future energy etc…I was so hyped for this album. Future and Travis Scott were sorely missed on this album and I thought since he had Snoop Dogg on the album Snoop should’ve narrated the whole album because he’s the biggest dog of them all. That was such a missed opportunity.

You guys say he’s matured, but I think it’s the complete opposite. Listen to some of the R&B cuts on Take Care when he was in his mid 20s & how emotionally complex, intelligent & aware he is. Compare that to FATD & what he’s singing about. Now he’s hanging out with streamers & flavor of the month artists half his age. He acts so much more immature and childish now.

I was thinking this exact same thing. Like his perspective on relationships was so much more relatable back in the early 2010s. Now he just holds money over girl's heads and takes it away if they don't act right. It was better when Drake wasn't afraid to admit he was in the wrong and actually pursued real relationships.

Ikr, when Drake came out everyone knew he was a backpack rapper meaning he wasn’t about that street life or drugs or degeneracy which is why people loved his music. FATD he was talking about lean, X pills, hypnotics, shooting people in daylight. This isn’t Drake it seems like he’s tryna blend in with New Age music nowadays

Just did a relisten to Take Care from beginning to end for the first time in a few years and wow.... what a fucking album. I dont say this often or lighly but (for me) that album has no skips. Half the songs took me vack to me teens/early 20s where that album dominated clubs. I dont recall many tracks shifting the entire mood and vibe of an entire club like Take Care. Marvins Room may have moved into meme territory but its still one of the most beautifully produced ambient tracks that cuts deep. But its the lesser praised tracks and features that set it off! Lord Knows with Rick Ross, Kendricks Interlude, Make Me Proud with Nicki... you cant pick a bad track from that album. I know its fairly praised as far as drakes catalogue but its criminally underrates as far as all of RnB goes. Amazing album.

Drake’s been sounding like he’s phoning it in for years now. It’s not that he can’t make great albums anymore, it’s that he knows he doesn’t have to.

I actually found teezo being probably my favorite feature on the album besides j Cole. But In the past few days I’ve gone back to the album and enjoyed a lot I think it really fits with the fall season coming up. But overall a 7.6-8.3 out of 10 compared nothing was the same or take care witch are both 9.8-10/10, and I think it will age well but certain songs will not be listened to.

I was at the Drake concert early, walking through the stadium with my head down in my phone when I felt my body bump into another person's. Startled, I looked up to find myself staring into the soft brown eyes of Drizzy himself. My heart raced as I stammered out an apology, cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Embarrassinggggg," he said with a warm chuckle, his smile making my heart skip a beat. In that moment, time seemed to stand still as I tried to find my words, utterly captivated by the unexpected encounter with the superstar I had idolized for years. As the concert's soundcheck echoed around us, Drake's laughter filled the air, creating a bubble of intimacy amidst the stadium's chaos. He leaned in closer, his hand gently tilting my chin upward. "You know," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine, "sometimes the best moments happen when we least expect them." Without another word, he closed the gap between us, his lips meeting mine in a tender, electrifying kiss. The world around us faded into oblivion as the music played on, and we shared a stolen, passionate moment in the midst of the concert crowd. It was a memory I would carry with me forever, the night I bumped into destiny at a Drake concert . It was 5 years later in Toronto and who would I run into besides Aubrey himself. Upon bumping into me again, he said "fancy seeing you again". I giggled remembering the moment we shared on that beautiful night. We embrace again. "I needed this" drake said. "wait how old are you" he asked. I responded with my age of 18 and he said "oopsies. 3 years past my preference" and skipped away. I started sobbing uncontrollably ripping my hair out on the street.

Question How many faking they streams Getting they plays from machines

My expectations were by no means high going into this album, but I still managed to come away from it feeling disappointed. As respectable as his work ethic is, you can only keep things interesting for so long when you’re running on a quantity over quality model. This album severely lacks passion and any of the elements that made early Drake albums so strong. If anything, I see more of the old Drake on CLB than I do on FATD. I hope he truly takes some time off and lets his best recordings accumulate into a concise track list.

I like maybe 12 songs I’ll revisit. But marketing in expectations, we were bamboozled.

C’est la première fois que je n’arrive même pas à faire un top 3 pour un album de Drake

All the features on this album were his dawgs. Family, mainstream artists or people he has known for some time. All of the features on the album were able to either outshine him or felt more comfortable on the production of the beats than Drake. So who was this album really for? Us? The fans? The OG’s? The modern audrience? Maybe this album was meant to put a spotlight on all the dawgs he wanted to shine…

Three salvageable songs tops, and that's it. The rest are radio fodders at best. I'm calling FPS, 8am, and Virginia Beach.

We all got fooled by the album title but it all makes sense tbh. The B word is a term used towards dogs and the B word is also commonly used towards woman. Hence “For the Dogs 🐶 “ or for the ladies. Which fits with the theme of the album since it leans heavy into R&B. And ironically enough he’s even throwing shade at RiRi on the album too 😂

The reason why this sucks is bc yall want old drake but what we actually need is a new drake, this hasn't been new drake this has been tired drake, because drakes been saying the same shit and killing his sound over time. I want something genuinely new, and some maturity. Not some more bull.

Can you guys do a review/reaction of the new Armand Hammer and Earl Sweatshirt albums? Two of the best hip hop records of the year.

It is like a 6/10 for me. It has a lot of great moments, but there are some aspects that I'm not a huge fan of.

Drake went like 5 for 23 on this album. The fall off is real 😕

Ant said Teezo was better on Amen when Drake has an amazing verse on that?? That’s crazy

Fath felt like a drake compilation album with songs left out from past albums

"I am not a girl in the club" - Ant

It’s so weird because drake has dropped the most passionless material in the 2020’s and these guys have mainly ate it all up so much so I’m genuinely surprised they don’t like this at all lol. Like just how critical they are on some other artists yet they’ve ate everything he’s dropped up I’m surprised by this review

is it about the charts? Or the art? Well with drake i guess we'll never know.

Songs I liked - 1 First Person Shooter 2 Virginia Beach 3 Fear Of Heights 4 8am In Charlotte 5 Daylight 6 IDGAF 7 Slime You Out and mabye drew a Picasso and another late night but those are just ok

I think if u disregard it being from drake, and just taking in the music content it’s actually a very enjoyable album it’s just that drake is held to a different standard because of what we know he can do. Yes it’s disappointing and definitely not drakes best work, but there still is quality in this album. My best advice for everyone is to listen to the album again and just try not to think about drakes past work, you will get more enjoyment out of it. Also Bahamas Promises is one of his best R&B tracks ever I’m sad u guys didn’t bring it up once

my favourite song on the album has to be Amen ft. Teezo. Those vocals are so grand and beautiful, they very much remind me of ty dollar $ign

What do you mean Drake still has one of the sharpest pens in the game? He doesn't and he never has, wtf? He can be your favorite artists, but I've never heard someone say Drake is a lyricist like that.

Lil Yachty really needed to be quiet about this album cause he brought in so much unnecessary hype
