“Drake has gone from an unlikely rapper to an accepted rapper to maybe the biggest rapper out, all in four years, and he’s the genre’s biggest pop crossover star. His new album is a dimly lit affair, both morose and triumphant; as Drake albums go, this is the Drakiest.”
“Back in 2021, Yebba closed out her debut album, Dawn, with well wishes from her mother, whose death she grappled with across the grief-consumed record. At the end of “Paranoia Purple,” a voice note played: “Hope you’re having fun, and I hope you’re singing away.” Yebba puts these words into practice on Jean, her first LP in five years. “Say, what if I forgave it all/I’d be the laughing stock of e”
“Toronto rapper Drake is back with his 3rd commercial release, Nothing Was The Same.”
“A really good album from Drake, not anywhere near ‘Take Care’ for me personally. A lot of Drakes classic songs come from this album and he has a lot of great rap performances throughout the album as well. The album as a whole could’ve been a lot better, I feel some of the beats are quite boring and Drakes flows don’t really seem to change too much from song to song. Top songs off the album for me are ‘Tuscan Leather’ ‘Started From The Bottom’ ‘From Time’ ft Jhené Aiko ‘Hold On We’re Going Home’ ft Majid Jordan ‘Too Much’ ft Sampha ‘Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2’ ft JAY-Z ‘Come Thru’”
“Success and celebrating success are the main themes of this album, but at the same time about the fear about chasing this success. There probably 2 or 3 songs I didn’t like on this album max. Overall a great album.”
“This is near perfect js a little long but it’s reasonable production is great a couple of duds but overall great”
“Very very good. A few songs go too long, and not quite as many highs as some of his other albums though.”
