I honestly forgot how good this project was until I relistened to it for rating. This album for sure has its lows but the highs here are crazy good and some of his best songs are on here. Some of the problems that SFG had also appear but they aren't a big deal here.
This is the first commercial album in Drake's catalog. Honestly I don't know about everyone else but this honestly never stuck with me. The occasional good verses and production can keep you engaged for a while. But this album can be a drag at times and besides Lil Wayne on Ignant Sh*t, the features just aren't interesting.

Better Than Veteran imo
This is very accessible compared to his other works and while I love his harsh, experimental stuff, this just works very well for him.
