Been with Drake since 2007. Some of my best memories are hanging with friends listening to “Thank me Later” and my college days with “Take Care”. I would do anything for him to do an album like those again, just for his old fans.
I need Drake to be in a good relationship for once. Maybe then we’ll get a mature album. Cause bruh is pushing 40, a father, and still rapping the same bs… wild
pusha is older yet talks about selling drugs. kanye still flexing his money and is older even did so on a album dedicated to his deceased mom. future talks about sex and is older. yet y’all hate when drake flexes and talks about his life and the things he’s accomplished.

I completely agree with your take. I’ve been listening to Drake since like the 5th grade. I’m in my late 20s now and it feels like he has regressed more than anything. It’s like as I’m growing and becoming more mature, I would hope that my favorite artist’s music would do the same, but it’s the complete opposite.

Hosted by Snoop, he could do intros, outros, call-ins, little skits (max 3/4), 13-15 tracks. He would've made a thoughtful album that feels like an experience, something with ideas, introspection and quirks that prove he's not just into the data dump streaming algorithm, but he can make a cohesive body of work that we refer back to when his career is done. But for some reason him and his team don't have that gear in them like TDE or Dreamville. It's a waste of an album.

Drake is at a point where he’s alienating his OG fans to stay relevant with a younger audience. Can’t imagine a grown man in his upper 20s, 30s rocking to this. The sad part is the music industry is so trash now, there’s no rising superstar to push him artistically.
This was perfectly stated. OG fans slowly fading away, and not only that, but his current music isn’t as substantial as his old music that whatever fans he’s trying to attract now won’t last because it has no lasting power.
why dont yall get that drake can't do that og music, he's said it multiple times that he's not able to make music at that stature. Also why are yall acting like his latest albums weren't good?(ik im hella late just recently started watching shawn cee)
bro is right tho, old drake felt hungry in every song and felt like he was trying to prove a point and was aiming for something. Now drake is so big he could release some trash and get more money than some rappers ever have. The album wasn’t bad for me personally some songs are growing on me but I’ll always miss that hungry old drake
@gupmali Nah you can still go back to old drake songs and have fun. I've always been a casual listener but i picked out like 2 or 3 from this album that i heard were really good and left like wtf was that. I think it was the last song on the album, i cant remember the name of it but people said it was real good. I went to check how much time was left cause i felt like it was getting repetitive and i was like 40 seconds in. That song DRAGGED
that nostalgia is what keeps drake from getting his respect. it’s a constant paradox. every album that comes out it’s “i want old drake” yet those same albums become the “old drake” for his next album. The exact same thing will happen to for all the dogs. drake won’t get his respect until he retires
Bro..the best thing to come out of this album is the fact that Drake is finally taking a break lol like deadass And facts, Drake literally has the world at his fingertips, and hardly uses a pinky of that power and influence to create masterful music when he's clearly capable of doing it.

Naw it probably would've been seen as him biting off Metro Boomin havin Morgan Freeman narrate 'Heroes & Villains'. Drake and Metro don't see eye to eye, so I don't think he'd wanna have anything to do with something that could be perceived as a Metro influence.
@@bariserejonadab5586it would’ve been cool ig but let’s be serious, what would Snoop talking for an extra 30 seconds each track do to help the overall bland and bloatedness of the album?
nah. It was another horrible take form an average drake hater lmao. Any other artist does something like that, it adds to the theme and concept of the album. Drake does it, it’s just “lazy”
the audacity of drake saying "being 25 as an excuse doesn't fly with me" when he's talking all this corny, middle school type, petty, nice guy BS as a 40 year old dad is fking insane
I think Drake is following trends when he has the power to set the trends. Idk why he’s pushing himself back, he can be such a great rapper with his own style, he gave like 10% of his capability in this album.
10% capacity? Y’all never take the time to actually sit down and dissect the things and topics drake dives into to, yet put all that energy to giving him hate and criticism. 8am in charlotte, fear of heights, daylight, away from home, first person shooter alone disprove that entire argument
@@leultrainstinct406my guy those are four songs on a 20 song album that’s 20% at most, and none of those songs clear anything from his first three projects
@@leultrainstinct406 Yeah, but bro has covered all of those topics before in the past and did it on better records, with better writing. It literally makes no sense why Drake chooses to ride modern waves instead of innovate the waves he helped pioneer, himself.
@@leultrainstinct406those songs are good, but we all know he can do better. He didn’t say nothing new, he already said it with better and more original writing. I’m not hating on Drake, he’s still one of my favorite artists, I just think he needs a break, he seems kinda lost. I mean he said it himself he’s taking a break
I really wish Drake would just make an entire album of him rapping like he's doing on "8am in Charlotte". It can be a 7 track EP for all I care. Just rap rap for at least 90% of the project and I'll be cool with that.
He said he could do that but wants to give different sounds consistently. Which I think is dumb af. Like he can RAP if he wants to but just refuses to.
That “old drake” & Shawn saying people want that feeling he used to give them way back is also something though he’s not possible of even doing.. people first listened to take care/NWTS when graduating , passed thier driving test , first love etc they want that great feeling again from 15 years ago whilst listening to his music.
But people were just praising 8 AM in Charlotte. Why? Cuz it’s genuinely a good song. Along with those projects you just mentioned. Take Care is phenomenal and NWTS is phenomenal. They get attached because of the memories connected to it AND because the music is good too. This album was ass. Just straight ass. People want Old Drake back because Old Drake was actually fire.

It’s annoying when Drake releases songs like 8am in Charlotte especially since he used this song as a “snippet” I guess right before the album dropped which shows 1 he still got it and 2 he know it was the best song on the whole album and used it to set the standard before the album dropped. I say all that to say it’s annoying when every now and again you see that he still drops these gems along another 22 songs that was garbage
@@nickn4672 yeah they did have like two or three songs I actually liked outside of the song I mentioned. First person shooter, Virginia Beach, and idgaf (mainly for year tho). I was kinda of exaggerating tbh. But my point still stands on him still having potential and showing us that he does but falling flat on that potential when album time comes.
I completely agree with every opinion you had on this. Holy shit. Drakes disappointed the fuck out of me on this album. It’s crazy. He has everything and every style and every skill. He didn’t try at all and he tried to appeal to the new generation which has the worst music taste ever. This was really tough.
couldnt have said it better. when he used to drop an album u listen. this felt like him hopping on any shit drill beat and mashing an album together. He needs to work EXCLUSIVELY with 40 on the next one

@@leultrainstinct406 if you’re a low-musical-literacy music listener who is happy with basic, bland, unimaginative mediocrity, yes. If you actually like good, original, passionate, mature music… not at all.
Im convinced Drake dug into the vault & just compiled a good portion of this album on tour with a few new tracks & verses sprinkled in, About 4-5 stand-out tracks imo.
Your rant at the end about Drake mentioning things as if we’re supposed to know what he’s talking about was hilariously true. We just want good music, man.
I think we are all missing the fact that 40 hardly produced any of these songs. He is the hitmaker behind it all, and that becomes more apparent as he steps away from producing :(
@@ReigenArataki Yeah i fw some of yatchy's new stuff, pretty catchy. On real talk though, go check out the album 'Obsidian' by Naomi Sharon. 40 had a big hand in that, and damn it gives me 2009-2013 drake vibes
Bro I’m so tired of the drake apologist, like you said he’s capable of so much more and the past 4-5 albums have been so mediocre it’s not even funny and it’s upsetting that he’s puts out garbage and people will just praise it cuz it’s drake
@@richardmartinez5040not even after a hiatus and him working on his alcoholism ? I also feel like 40’s lack of presence is really showing now, too bad he’s not doing too well last I heard
Weekend wrote damn near all of his tracks on take care and Quentin Miller wrote a lot of his sh** after. I honestly believe now he writes his own music and ppl are realizing he is overrated.
Yup.. the moment I saw that the track listing was 23 songs I knew there was no way this was gonna be 1 of his better projects. I would've been happy with him just staying in his 'Her Loss' bag. It's the 1 album in recent years that actually seemed like it gave the fans something they could be content with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I feel way too much Yachty influence on this and it ain't for the better.
I think drake is so good we genuinely think anything he’s gonna put out is gonna be like just drizzy but then he comes out with something like this and we all go he let us down again
It’s unfortunate considering Drake was on a solid run for a nice lil decade. Then Scorpion dropped…then CLB..then Honestly Nevermind…now FATD 🤷🏽♂️ he’s shown glimpses of why I like his music here and there..but even with no expectations, aside from production; Drake’s not really sayin nothin. And I think I’ve outgrown his music atp.
@@realestsienna u right. I actually didn’t mind it first listen. It (to me) isn’t as good as the projects he dropped from So Far Gone to Views. And with FATD in the mix…it makes CLB look like a 10/10.
It's difficult to make great music when you've already reached the top of the game. Ambition is fueled by the lack of success, so once you make it to those mainstream heights that Drake has been living on for the past 5-6 years, there's not much ambition left in the tank. He's just playing the game on autopilot at this point, and resting on his past achievements.
ngl, growing up with drake, the relationship toxicity was a vybe, but years later as we mature, the priorities are different now. It could just be that we just grew out of Drake's target audience. idk...
I was just waitin to see Shawn react to 8 am in Charlotte cause that one somethin else when you hear it 1st time 😊 I knew it was gonna hit him. Hit me the same way. So priceless.

Nothing was the same since nothing was the same
Facts
If you’re reading this was pretty great tbh
If you reading this you’re right 😂😂😂
Y’all been saying this since more life came out and more life was fire for the most part
Went right over they head
the audacity of drake saying "being 25 as an excuse doesn't fly with me" when he's talking all this corny, middle school type, petty, nice guy BS as a 40 year old dad is fking insane
Drake really the mcu of music
Thats actually a really good analogy. 🤔
Perfect take.
I think Drake is following trends when he has the power to set the trends.
Idk why he’s pushing himself back, he can be such a great rapper with his own style, he gave like 10% of his capability in this album.
10% capacity?
Y’all never take the time to actually sit down and dissect the things and topics drake dives into to, yet put all that energy to giving him hate and criticism. 8am in charlotte, fear of heights, daylight, away from home, first person shooter alone disprove that entire argument
@@leultrainstinct406my guy those are four songs on a 20 song album that’s 20% at most, and none of those songs clear anything from his first three projects
@@leultrainstinct406 Yeah, but bro has covered all of those topics before in the past and did it on better records, with better writing.
It literally makes no sense why Drake chooses to ride modern waves instead of innovate the waves he helped pioneer, himself.
His trends be other people trends
@@leultrainstinct406those songs are good, but we all know he can do better.
He didn’t say nothing new, he already said it with better and more original writing.
I’m not hating on Drake, he’s still one of my favorite artists, I just think he needs a break, he seems kinda lost.
I mean he said it himself he’s taking a break
J cole did wash drake on his own shit💀💀 Drake had to switch the beat and have the last 2 minutes to make us forget the masterclass j cole put on
sounds like a Walmart Meltdown tbh
@@drtenma8now y'all call every hard song a meltdown copy
@@strike5685 Meltdown its self is a sicko mode copy listen to all 3 songs they sound similar
@@drtenma8meltdown is mid asf j coke atleast went hard on this song
@@drtenma8they all got the same formula when it didn’t need to be
I really wish Drake would just make an entire album of him rapping like he's doing on "8am in Charlotte". It can be a 7 track EP for all I care. Just rap rap for at least 90% of the project and I'll be cool with that.
He said he could do that but wants to give different sounds consistently. Which I think is dumb af. Like he can RAP if he wants to but just refuses to.
That “old drake” & Shawn saying people want that feeling he used to give them way back is also something though he’s not possible of even doing.. people first listened to take care/NWTS when graduating , passed thier driving test , first love etc they want that great feeling again from 15 years ago whilst listening to his music.
But people were just praising 8 AM in Charlotte. Why? Cuz it’s genuinely a good song. Along with those projects you just mentioned. Take Care is phenomenal and NWTS is phenomenal. They get attached because of the memories connected to it AND because the music is good too. This album was ass. Just straight ass. People want Old Drake back because Old Drake was actually fire.

It’s annoying when Drake releases songs like 8am in Charlotte especially since he used this song as a “snippet” I guess right before the album dropped which shows 1 he still got it and 2 he know it was the best song on the whole album and used it to set the standard before the album dropped. I say all that to say it’s annoying when every now and again you see that he still drops these gems along another 22 songs that was garbage
EXACTLY MY POINT BRO
Nah bro first person shooter, daylight, virginia beach and 7969 santa r fye
@@nickn4672 yeah they did have like two or three songs I actually liked outside of the song I mentioned. First person shooter, Virginia Beach, and idgaf (mainly for year tho). I was kinda of exaggerating tbh. But my point still stands on him still having potential and showing us that he does but falling flat on that potential when album time comes.
@@nickn46727969 was garb be serious

I always come for you’re reactions there always the best and honest and accurate🤞🏻💯
I completely agree with every opinion you had on this. Holy shit. Drakes disappointed the fuck out of me on this album. It’s crazy. He has everything and every style and every skill. He didn’t try at all and he tried to appeal to the new generation which has the worst music taste ever. This was really tough.
couldnt have said it better. when he used to drop an album u listen. this felt like him hopping on any shit drill beat and mashing an album together. He needs to work EXCLUSIVELY with 40 on the next one
He's been disappointing for several years now

youtube should monetize timestamp comments
Can’t lie I’m surprised central cee wasn’t on this album considering how obsessed he is with the uk scene
8am in Charolette is the most infuriating song. The fact that it exist on this album is just mind boggling
Whenever Drake drops a song that's titled with a time and a place you know it's gonna be good
They're called Timestamp songs from Drake's Timestamp series
Only shit I'm here for is Shawn's reaction to First Person Shooter ft J Cole.
That is all
And Cole ate!!!
I’m here to see his reaction to these lyrics😭
The album cover alone was enough to show how little effort he was about to give us
Forreal
If you call an album for all my dogs you better go hard .
He obviously doesn’t like the dogs bro
Drake always came off as a cat person.
Been waiting to hear about Shawn’s experience with Drake’s FATD
Drake inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging.
Why he hates on every Drake project for the past 7 yrs. Nothing new with this review.
@@namantherockstarI hope your shit gets terminated, fam
@@mikesincere27 honestly I see where your coming, FATD doesn’t suit everybody’s taste considering how messy it can feel at times since it lasts for an hour, but I think it’s great that Shawn acknowledges some of FATD might grow on him in the future.
FAT D was good but it was just way too long for me
Imagine making a 23-track album and the only good song on it is the one you have Cole on. AND he washes you on your own track. 💀
Virginia Beach and 8am were cool personally.
fear of heights, amen, daylight, Bahamas promises, drew a Picasso, away from home, what would Pluto do, polar opposites, 7969 Santa, etc. this album was great

Who’s here after Drake reposted
Im convinced Drake dug into the vault & just compiled a good portion of this album on tour with a few new tracks & verses sprinkled in, About 4-5 stand-out tracks imo.
“The writer strike hit Drake hard”. Best bar ever, and true for this album
Your rant at the end about Drake mentioning things as if we’re supposed to know what he’s talking about was hilariously true. We just want good music, man.
Haha for real that part had me dying
Jay z was the king of that
Bro, i spit out my drink at that part lol. Three different jasons!
crazy because whenever Kanye does it he meat rides and calls it “art”
Drake has to deal with the worst double standards lmao
Just listen to another artiste
I think we are all missing the fact that 40 hardly produced any of these songs. He is the hitmaker behind it all, and that becomes more apparent as he steps away from producing :(
sad man him and drake where so tight now he's hanging out with weirdos like yachty and his music started declining
@@thanosianthemadtitanichave you listened to yachty’s latest album though? it was pretty good
@@ReigenArataki Yeah i fw some of yatchy's new stuff, pretty catchy.
On real talk though, go check out the album 'Obsidian' by Naomi Sharon. 40 had a big hand in that, and damn it gives me 2009-2013 drake vibes
Bro I’m so tired of the drake apologist, like you said he’s capable of so much more and the past 4-5 albums have been so mediocre it’s not even funny and it’s upsetting that he’s puts out garbage and people will just praise it cuz it’s drake
Dark Lane Demo Tapes is still Drakes best project in this 2020 era so far.
Chicago Freestyle 😢
It's actually Care Package
No Drake album with Sexxy Redd is going to be peak. Lol I’m sorry.

4 minutes in and I'm howling 😂 this album is a pump and dump
How do you call an album pump and dump bro I'm dead🤣
I need a whole album of 8am in charlotte type songs from drake
I’ve noticed I love a lot of drakes first songs on albums they’re usually my favorite on a lot of his projects
Drake’s FATD is really hard to digest
ayo
Lmao
PAUSE
God this album was so mid. He been dropping mid after mid after mid after MID
I really think he’s not capable of making a good album anymore lol
Yeah and his stans still eat it up he’s too big to fail so why should he stop
@@richardmartinez5040not even after a hiatus and him working on his alcoholism ? I also feel like 40’s lack of presence is really showing now, too bad he’s not doing too well last I heard
Weekend wrote damn near all of his tracks on take care and Quentin Miller wrote a lot of his sh** after. I honestly believe now he writes his own music and ppl are realizing he is overrated.
@@Harveygregorxotwod never said he should stop. I’m just saying it’s not quality music
The Legend Has Returned ❤❤❤❤❤
Drake has been on a cold run since Scorpion
Her Loss is a masterpiece
“You can reach for the moon but you just go out the back door” perfect saying in regards to drake
The best way to listen to Drake albums is secondhand from Shawn Cee
I yelled so many times at your reactions to bars 😂😂😂😂
Drake had this video in his stories yesterday oh he watching
Drakes "FATD" is INSANE🤣🤣🤣
And the face he made on the thumbnail just sent me lol
Bruh💀
@@BiasedSportsFan😂😂😂😂😂
Yup.. the moment I saw that the track listing was 23 songs I knew there was no way this was gonna be 1 of his better projects. I would've been happy with him just staying in his 'Her Loss' bag. It's the 1 album in recent years that actually seemed like it gave the fans something they could be content with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I feel way too much Yachty influence on this and it ain't for the better.
Lot of y'all still rocking with Drake because of how he had y'all feeling in high school. ...He's still making music for high school kids.
“I packed them in this phone like some sardines”😂😂😂😂
Drake never been the same since his og ghost writer left him.
J cole dominated the album
Verse was mid tbh. Not bad but Cole could’ve done better.
Bruh, it was one track and it was decent at best. 8 am in Charlotte is the carry.
@@Originalknyte Cole ain’t even go full max out tho and still cleared him
@@patto999 that’s pretty much what I said…
"i don't know what dogs this was for. for the yorkies" lmfao
“Both of Pushas sons on a track” 😂
This album disappointed me…he will never top nothing was the same and take care 😢
I swear
IYRTITL is right there and is his best
"How is it we allowed drake into the top 3 conversation?"
Cole got the best verse on the album
This album is perfect to listen to when your deaf
😭😭😭😭
“He should market this album to deaf people”

Or when you have trouble sleeping
Drake has been mid. For years. And people are just now realizing it's not just a couple bad albums.
After 2018 he’s kinda had a downfall in quality
@@cirogaetano7022 are you really saying pusha t ended this man’s ambition and drive? That’s crazy

Music quality started to decline from views. More Life and Scorpion were only ok in my opinion everything after that has been trash unfortunately.
I pray the drake story warrants a main channel upload 🙏
PRAYING
Lmao I needed this. Album def growing on me. Should’ve named it Pillow Talk but it’s straight
Glad to hear that Shawn is hip to Veeze. Away from Home should have had him on that track for sure the way the production is
Thought u were Big Quint
I feel like Drake is just on cruise control. I don't feel like he's competing anymore. He doesn't feel like he has anything to prove, and it shows.
Drake has nothing to talk about, no content simple
Yeah I think Joe said it’s autopilot Drake
THIS PND GAVE ME OLD PND VIBES
I think drake is so good we genuinely think anything he’s gonna put out is gonna be like just drizzy but then he comes out with something like this and we all go he let us down again
It’s unfortunate considering Drake was on a solid run for a nice lil decade. Then Scorpion dropped…then CLB..then Honestly Nevermind…now FATD 🤷🏽♂️ he’s shown glimpses of why I like his music here and there..but even with no expectations, aside from production; Drake’s not really sayin nothin. And I think I’ve outgrown his music atp.
clb honestly isn’t as bad as ya say it is but continue
@@realestsienna u right. I actually didn’t mind it first listen. It (to me) isn’t as good as the projects he dropped from So Far Gone to Views.
And with FATD in the mix…it makes CLB look like a 10/10.
Scorpion started it…that’s when he signed a big 400 mill contract and started dropping bloated albums
@@JordanNMusic LMFAOOO
Nah his creative fall off definitely started with Views.
Haven’t listened to a Drake album since CLB and I haven’t missed anything
You made it Shawn
Thanks for listening to all of this. Now I don’t have to. 🙏 take care drake.
It's difficult to make great music when you've already reached the top of the game. Ambition is fueled by the lack of success, so once you make it to those mainstream heights that Drake has been living on for the past 5-6 years, there's not much ambition left in the tank. He's just playing the game on autopilot at this point, and resting on his past achievements.
What a silly excuse for mediocre
“Ambition has left the tank”
8am in charlotte alone disproves that entire statement💀
This is so well said
@@leultrainstinct406one song out of 23 tracks lol
past 5-6 years? he’s been on the very top since like 2010 lol
If anyone’s interested-
the sample on Virginia Beach is from Wiseman by Frank Ocean.
I made an extended intro and outro of the song on my channel thanks everyone
ngl, growing up with drake, the relationship toxicity was a vybe, but years later as we mature, the priorities are different now. It could just be that we just grew out of Drake's target audience. idk...
He has been trending downward since 'If you're reading this it's too late'
That album is a classic
Nothing could've prepared me for the "who's jason" clip, that shit killed me cuz that's EXACTLY what I said
