    Toronto rapper Drake is back with his 3rd commercial release, Nothing Was The Same. Here, Drake continues with his lyrical obsession with the tattered relationships of his past, which is fine, but he hops on a gauntlet of nutty trap beats on this LP that are less than flattering to his clean-cut persona.
    What did you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh?

    this album is really good and I aint even a Drake fan. Tuscan Leather, From Time, Too Much or Pound Cake are some of the best songs Drake has made imo. Plus Hold On, We're Going Home is one of the few songs I've heard on commercial radio stations and I have really liked. Production in most of the album is amazing.

      @Great Destroyer I agree I think the Beatles are better than drake. Their impact on music is much bigger than what drake's impact was even though drake is breaking some of their records. I do believe the Beatles legacy will outshine drake's in the end of the day. Their last true project came out how long ago? And we're still talking about them. Legendary artist.

      @Leonardo Resta because he's engineered his song output and album structures to maximize streams on Spotify. His worst reviewed album ever (Scorpion) broke Spotify records to be the first album to hit 1 billion streams in its first week, because it's got 25 tracks that are cut to make you listen to them all the way through instead of skipping to just listen to tracks people actually like. Spotify is a shitty way to measure relevance. His albums have been reviewed consistently worse and worse as the decade went on. I don't think anyone's going to give a shit about him in three years.

      I'm just saying because people are clearly saying this just to dismiss opinions they don't like even more than they already do which is dishonest. You can't simultaneously have the best music taste and be insecure when someone disagrees

    To be honest, when I firat heard this album I thought like this guy. But giving a good look back on it, it shows Drake's maturing as an artist and that he's not afraid to be himself, something most hip hop artists are afraid to do. And he also appeals to the mainstream hip hop crowd with tracks like All Me, Started from the Bottom, and Worst Behavior. And then there's From Time and Tuscan Leather. Amazing tracks. Solid 8 for me.

But he blends them better than anyone before him. Ironically, his lyrics in his R&B songs are deeper and show more insight then his rap verses. Mainstream rap is just a bunch of one hit wonders without Drake.

All I have to say on an unrelated note is I HATE how everyone is still doing the same like "Ohhh Drake didn't start from the bottom he was rich" THATS NOT WHAT HES SAYING. He's not saying he was poor and on rock bottom what he's saying is that he started at the bottom of the food chain. Like a new artist discovering their own type of music trying to make it big and now he's one of the most famous artists out. So shut the fuck up with all that "Drake didn't start from the bottom he's a rich jewish canadian kid" That's now what it's about.

    I'm sure the album after this one is going to be way more uplifting.

"started from the bottom" from what? he didn't have a poor upbringing and he was an actor so he made lots of money. and all he always cries about some girl who won't return his phone calls or about some girl who's gone bad that he wants to be with. he also keeps bitching and whining about kendrick lamar's control verse too, which is annoying. and he's soft too. he isn't on the same level as eminem, kendrick, kanye

    in Wu Tang Forever, he was speaking on hip hop as if it was his girl. the hook talks about how he loves when he's with music and how he used to mess around with it, but didn't take it seriously until he was told that he could take over the game. this isnt a direct quote, but this is what I go when I asked him about it and it makes sense. shits fire. have to look deeper into the lyrics, no matter how shallow they appear.

    I like your reviews a lot, and I like how deep into this you go. However, I strongly disagree with this review. Easily one of his best albums, and some of the best features on any of his albums.

    Rewatching this video and now I'm just awestruck at how much things have changed since 2013. The world really moved on so fast, even though it's realistically gradual and slow, and in 2023 there's a lot more things that I still need to learn.

      I think he just isn't a fan of basic lyricism which usually appeals to the mass audience
