Scorpion was Drake’s last great album the last 3 have been lackluster at best. CLB had all those features and yet I couldn’t tell you what the album sounds like outside of the singles and a few select album cuts. Honestly Nevermind should have been an EP. “First Person Shooter” and “You Broke My Heart” are among the best songs he’s released in the this decade but “For All The Dogs” is 70% filler and “Rich Baby Daddy” is nothing but catchy TikTok fodder. I agree with everything here except your first point. Scorpion was straight mid outside of the singles, After Dark and Blue Tint. Ratchet Happy Birthday remains the worst song he's ever made

And when Drake's next album opens with record breaking numbers, I cannot wait to see what everyone here is saying then. Drake hasn't "lost" anything. People called him a pedo or diddler for years anywy, he clearly doesn't care because it isn't true. Drake's numbers don't matter when the music goes in one ear and out the other, he drops a 20+ track album and like 2 tracks have longevity and the rest are tossed away after week 2. Look at Drake's top 10 hits, he has 78 yet only 1 song has hit 20 weeks in the Top 10 (God's Plan), about 90 percent of his hits peak during their first week. Almost every album since Views has been filled to the brim with filler tracks, and he hasn't had a real cultural moment since In My Feelings in 2018.
You can tell how much Drake means to hip-hop when his fans do nothing but bring up his streaming numbers, what else does he bring to rap than just being a huge artist? I like Drake a lot for the record, but he's been coasting off status for the last 8 years and hasn't given us a classic record since If You're Reading This It's Too Late. I'm happy this beef happened because this is the hungriest Drake has sounded in a long time, hopefully he tosses out the trend chasing garbage, generic trap beats for his next album and just gives us some good music.
Could not have written this better myself. Albums have like 2 good songs outside of the singles since 2016

I only use "Virginia Beach" from "For All The Dogs". He's truly been getting away with consistently releasing mid for years.

This song will be around for awhile. Already being spun at sporting events. This is the perfect college band song, and we aren't even in that season yet. Drake will be just fine, but the fact that Kendrick took an atypical song for him, turned it into an anthem against Drake is something I couldn't have predicted in a million years. It just means that if Kendrick wanted, he could have been making formulaic songs (not including those pop features) and turning them into smashes, but that's never been who he was as an artist.

The song itself is a bop. Kendrick did that!
This was necessary for Drake. I too feel his material has been quantity, not quality. But he's still a top contender in hip-hop and I hope this will force his hand to step his game up. Too many releases and nothing sticks.
They lowkey made a collaboration album out of these disses!!

It would be smart of him to do an album drop off this momentum.
