    Ehh I don't know. If I'm being honest I haven't liked a lot of his recent s--- but I'm holding out for Views to see where he goes with that.

    Drake is a good rapper, dont get me wrong.. but I feel his prime is just based on making Hot Tracks
    He hit his prime without releasing a true "classic" idk I'll give him one last chance to redeem himself with Views

    People still getting prime & peak mixed up. You can still improve during your prime. Think about it like this. Kobe, or any player for that matter, hits their prime around 25-26. Most get better until about 30-31. That's your prime for better or worse.

    So Drake entered his around 2011-12 and has improved as a rapper/singer even though his last 2 projects aren't as good as the previous 2.

    Not yet because I haven't heard a classic album from him yet imo. Views might be that album.

    I agree and its my favourite drake album but the direction drake has gone after that shows hes in a hot track phase. Hopefully he can find a balance with views.

    From Ernest Baker's "Drake in Real Life" piece last year:
    The topic of our talk switches to Drake’s upcoming fourth album. He only has two songs finished that he likes. One is a collaboration with Beyoncé that he recorded a while ago. The other is a song that he expects to inspire a paradigm shift. His days of releasing lay-up bangers that everyone loves right away are over. For now.

    I think he has, but is capable of a second prime like Kanye
