So Far Gone, while not exactly exploring new depths, is an extremely enjoyable mixtape mixing mainstream R&B and Rap styles.
It’s a mixed bag cause it’s a mixtape, using the beats that were popping at the time, and that’s how mixtape’s were when this dropped, but overall I grew up on this Drake, so some songs just take me mad back and still sound great to this day.
