Out of the three pack of music Drake released the past week, Maid of Honor is, to me, certainly the weirdest. While ICEMAN had the intention of being an actual record with a few conceptual elements here and there (the "Make Them" series of songs being a complete "arc" throughout the album") and Habibti trying to be a more "turn your brain off and have fun" type of album, I have to wonder...what did Drake attempt to do, or say, artistically with this ... read more
“Some nights I wish I could go back in life, not to change shit, just to feel a couple things twice” is genuinely the best and most relateable thing this man ever wrote.
EDIT: Also, "Energy" gets more and more relateable the older i get, methinks.

I do think some of Drake's worst qualities did start with this album: Marathon lengths, corny bars, egotistical bars that rival Ye's, ... read more
Drake's Habibti represents him tapping back into a more RnB bag than ICEMAN.
First off, I think Drake deserves major props here: Diving his work into three different albums, while a bit overbearing, does show semblance of self editing, as I think it makes for a better experience than ICEMAN being interrupted by some of the cuts here.
That said, I didn't find much in Habibti I would come back to, personally. I gotta say right off the bat: RnB Drake has never been a favourite of ... read more
