    I like how Kanye used to switch styles, it always took me a moment to get used to them, but I ended liking the album, had some pretty good tracks.

    So, after a couple of more days with the album this is my Rating for now:
    Jail - 8,5
    God Breathed - 4
    Off The Grid - 9,5
    Hurricane - 9
    Praise God - 8
    Jonah - 8,5
    Ok Ok - 5
    Junya - 6,5
    Believe What I Say - 8,5
    24 - 3
    Remote Control - 8,5
    Moon - 9
    Heaven and h--- - 7,5
    Keep My Spirit Alive - 9
    Jesus Lord - 10
    New Again - 6,5
    Tell The Vision - 1
    Lord I Need You - 8,5
    Pure Souls - 10
    Come to Life - 10
    No Child Left Behind - 8

    Overall a 7,5/10.
    Some tracks really grew on me (Moon, Pure Souls) and tracks like Hurricane, Off the grid, Jesus Lord or Come to life I already loved at first listen.
    So, this is for sure not a bad album and a huge improvement over Ye and JIK which were both pure trash, but there're still some really bad songs on here. Get rid of these and this is a 8,5 /10 maybe and a really good album but still for sure not a classic. The highs on this are not good enough to reach such praise imo.

    I would say I'm not a huge fan of either drake or Kanye but with that being said kanye has undeniable classics under his belt. Drakes best song is nowhere near as good as Kanye's best and that's a fact. Kanye makes better music.

    Kanye and Drake are on completely different talent planes.

    The idea of comparing drake to kanye is insulting. I legit think kanye make better sound taking a s---. And im not hating for the sake of it. I listened to all drake albums and i think he make music only for certain niche that he was ahead of the curve and if he broke out now he wouldnt be famous. He is s---. End of

    I don't ever think drake will make a song as good as can't tell me nothing or runaway no matter how weird I think Kanye is some of his music is timeless he has a great mind for music drake is just a try hard

    I think people are underselling Drake as a singles artist ITT I mean Headlines, Started From the Bottom, Nice For What, Passionfruit...you can't deny how great those are but yeah Drake's never rly made a song like Runaway or New Slaves especially as a single or album promotion. He's never really been willing to take a risk like that.

    Agreed Drake makes good music that's easy to listen to. I listened to way too sexy and it's not an amazing song by any means but it was nice to sit there and not feel like I need to go to rap genius to understand every line. He's got some great songs too no one should take that away but comparing him to Kanye is laughable I'm pretty sure marsh started this conversation so makes sense.

    the thing about Drake is that he never never never exposes himself for real, like putting all his soul in it and talk about things bigger than life, i.e. New slaves like you mentioned. idk

    btw i listened to More life the other day and it surprised me, i didnt remember all the features and bangers, and he had f---ing Glow with Kanye! completely forgotten track that i used to bump. May be my fav Drake project
