The interlude feels like a sip of room temp water before taking another bite of shit salad
Getting Ready to be Disappointed by ICEMAN FINALE:
This might genuinely be the worst album cover of all time (especially with them blinking and rubbing their bellies on spotify). Shits creepy asf. But I feel like that became its legacy rather than the actual music. There are some serious stinkers on here, though, like Girls Want Girls, In the Bible, and Fucking Fans.

This is definitely a slightly over hated project. I get that it kinda started the trend of him bloating his albums into oblivion, but I also feel like he was already doing that before this.

Drake was probably on top of the world with this one! . . . for like a month. Nah but seriously this album is really great. It's definitely his most consistently good album, with a lot of his best rapping. There isn't a bad song or even really a dull moment. Preach isn't very good because of the chorus, but it's also so in your face that it keeps you entertained. "Still in miami, most of these girls are too Messi." ... read more
