    NWTS holds a special place in my heart. Imo it's the most conceise Drake project. Very nicely put together. But I think switching either one is fine. They're both in the same tier. Which is excellent/amazing.

    I guess. But if Drake would have just aligned the best tracks on here with each other and patterned them out appropriately, Scorpion had potential to be his absolute best!!!

    That's what I'm thinking, too.

    Plus everybody gives Cudi s--- for never making another MOTM-tier project, but Drake slides even when he hasn't made anything that touches TC :50:

    No idea how I'm going to get through all of this on a regular basis. Loving it tho, just not sure besides hitting shuffle or listening top to bottom every time, how I won't end up overlooking some songs due to the length

    Wonder how the reception/ability to digest it all would have changed if he dropped them as two completely separate projects

    Look between 12 and 1, there's a disc break and the track #'s restart

    But yeah it does just roll through the whole thing if you let it

    Being segmented doesn't mean it's 2 different albums though. Else it would have a different name.

    I don't know about that. I think it definitely has a chance to compete with the top tier. But the highs in his top 4 are some of the best music of this decade.

    Like we're talking songs like:

    Over My Dead Body
    Headlines
    Crew Love
    Marvin's Room
    Underground King's
    Lord Knows
    Cameras
    HYFR
    Tuscan Leather
    Furthest Thing
    Worst Behavior
    From Time
    Too Much
    Pound Cake
    Legend
    Energy
    Know Yourself
    Star67
    Jungle

    Etc.

    I'm not saying the material on scorpion can't compete, but those songs listed are timeless classics. I'm just saying it had alot to live up to. Is this just intial hype talking or is portions of scorpion the real deal?

    That's really the only cliche 40 beat on here, he stepped it up on most of his contributions

    I mean you're comparing songs that are less than 24 hrs old with some you've had for at least 3 years.
