    Sounds more positive than negative tbh. You're sleeping on Redemption and Childs Play though. Still Here is also a contender for top 3-5.

    You've made good points and have had similar opinions on the album as I have

    One dance being the best track on here is not one of them lmao

    Still here is part of that with you - one dance run I cited as the highlight

    And nah it's not more positive than negstive -- there's literally not 1 song without spotty writing. It's your choice to ignore it but I can't since drakes narrative is so clearly supposed to be part of his appeal

    And it's stale/redundant/corny/and just f---ing weirdly possessive and petty. There's been 0 emotional growth from TML to now.

    If that's okay w u then so be it m8

    Feel No Ways is definitely top 5, top 5, top 5

    Controlla, Hype, Keep the Family Close

    One dance is definitely infectious, don't think it's best tho

    I like young thug but serious question... Why can Young Thug talk about enjoying ice cream with his chicken and stuff but Drake can't reference channing tatum when talking about his chains? I have no idea what makes a line bad anymore. Someone pls explain. Are some people held to a higher standard or something?

    I'm not saying either lines bother me too much but just curious here

    Sometimes I think it's in the eye of the beholder but I'll give you my perspective on how I sometimes evaluate s--- like this; If you look at a line solely as a combination of words then it's nothing more than plain, thats why theres other details like vocal inflections, the way it was delivered, how it fits into the context of the verse and so on. I don't excuse Thug of everything but he manages to sound compelling that makes those kind of lines work, whereas other rappers can sound monotone or just nothing out of the ordinary. Just my two cents of course.

    Pretty simple actually. On the surface 2 average lines, comes down to whether you like/dislike either artist.

    Team Drake here but that chicken and ice cream combo sounds kinda compelling.
