I think it's a strong effort, definitely a nice summer album. I think I still prefer More Life but I'm going to need to dig into it more. It's always tough with a double album but he did a good job creating one without too much filler (as opposed to something like Jay's Blueprint II which was basically all filler). I still think he should have just done one, killed 5-6 tracks and it would be a more solid effort. I'm feeling Side B a lot more than Side A although that Mariah Emotions sample slays me. Summer Games is my top song from the album at the moment and he would be smart to release that soon with a killer video for another #1.

Alright - features or not - the track listing wont show accurate information as "Nice For What" features Lauryn Hill on vocals - so why put Michael Jackson as a feature and Lauryn Hill not as I´m pretty sure that Jackson didn´t feature some new vocals from the other side... I think it's because Lauryn Hill's is a sample from a previous released song...the same reason why he didn't feature Mariah Carey on Emotionless. I believe the MJ track is unreleased vocals that no one has heard before. Yeah I assume the same, but Mariah’s vocal is literally used during the entire song of “Emotionless” so she should have a credit.

He should have just pulled her down to the studio, given her a glass of bubbly and have her cut some new vocals.

I have it on good authority that Mariah’s team didn’t demand a credit. Lame on them.

Rolling my eyes at the MJ feature already.
Will give this a full listen later. I'm not expecting anything more than a handful of good songs, but I'll be happy with that.

I mean this in the nicest way, but Drake is a one trick pony. I honestly know understand why he's so huge (well I do, but I'm not going to start THAT discussion), there's nothing remarkable about anything on this album IMO. Its exactly like his other albums. Listenable but that's about it.

I'm upset he didn't get my muva on that track emotionless. It's time to expose the queen to another generation of mainly idiots.

I fell asleep while listening not only cause it was boring but because I was tired. So hopefully more songs pop off when I'm alert. It started picking up for me with Side B. Besides the singles and Emotionless, not a huge fan of Side A.

It's still a writing credit and adds to her tally in that regard, but not something that counts toward Mariah's total as an "act" on the Hot 100, unless he changes it to add her on a single or something.

He probably wont. I don't know, but Drake has been petty in the past (he dropped JLo from More Life and she got zero credit for the "If You Had My Love" sample, which she didn't actually write, but still). He probably would have dropped the sample if Mariah's team pushed for a featured credit.

Mariah can hop on the remix, drop a couple bars and get a credit. #QueenofRap

Thanks. It sounds like a live version. From one of her Pinkprint Concerts where she did the freestyle to BAB. This album is HOT.

I suppose Emotionless doing well on streaming today could up its chances if it continues to do well after the initial fanfare. I also wonder how many singles this album will end up producing. I'm guessing a fairly typical amount.

Random but I had a dream last night that I was at Drake's house doing ecstasy that looked like a big tub of heroin .... and he had a vagina.

I’m obviously not a Drake fan so I don’t plan on listening or commenting my opinion on it. However, my younger brother, who is a huge Drake fan, just finished listening to the album. He said outside of the songs already released, Don’t Matter To Me and Eight Out Of Ten, the album is really bad

To be fair, it samples a club remix of that song. I don't hear any of the original melody that most people know and love in that song.
