It's Drake's ability to song write. He is like Kanye West in that he pushes the genre. Drake sets moments in his songs not only by utilizing the production, but by utilizing his voice and tone as well. And you might think this has nothing to do with penmanship, but it does - when you switch tempo or tone, you may be required to fit more or less words in a bar depending on how you are required to balance it sonically. Drake is great at this. This is why bars like "I was running through the 6 with my woes" leave such an impression.

For example, Know Yourself is two different songs, and the switch up happens at the hook. Star67 as well.

A great example of what I'm saying is in his Tuesday verse:



You could be on one end of the spectrum where you're like Biggie and the bars you write are phenomenal. Or you can force people to judge your music on an entirely different spectrum. That's what Drake has done and shown on projects including this one.

I think you could make that argument in terms of the sound, sure. A lot of it is borrowed (and then improved on) from older joints, 6 God to 6 Man for example. But the quality of writing on the project alone is enough to question that statement.

I don't know if he has a bad verse on this joint fam.

And then songs like Now & Forever and You & The 6 make you wonder that if he's throwing these on a tape, what heat is he saving for the album.

Like I said, All Day is great, but I can't say it's anything more than as good as the joints on this tape.
