Insanely middling, Drake has not released a decent album since this one which is unfortunate because Drake had a lot of talent and the goat of genre-blending for a good moment. Until it came crashing down with this uninteresting album, Drake took the commercial success of Views as well as the rapping performance of WATTBA and combined the 2 to make this monstrosity. Now it isn’t horrible but it’s just lazy, and I thought Views was wack this thing is not it. It’s very bloated with little to no standouts, sure you have your huge songs that topped the charts for a long while but what’s the point if the quality of it is straight up bad? Also, Drake puts on a horrible rapping performance that cancels out much of the better moments of the project. It’s also insanely bloated, there are lots of songs on the tracklist and most of them are pretty bad, there are some decent ones here and there but there are definitely lower lows and a lot of weak tracks that fail to showcase the artist Drake once was. He was unfortunately never the same after this album because he realized that if he took a more commercial approach it would bring him some success with the charts, he only cares about the money now than making quality music and the passion for it.

Recent reviews
Overall not bad. Not sure about the double album as the B side is a lot weaker and drags the album out way too much, if you’d combine them and take the weaker songs off this would be very strong. But sadly it’s not so it’s an okay project. Not his best not his worst.
Top 3:
emotionless
