    What's wrong = what are the bad sides of his seemingly enjoyable music.

    I'm not a hater tho. I listen to his songs from time to time.

    You're acting like WPG has opened up Drake's stans eyes to these 'flaws' that they will finally realise. We've known Drake has corny lines. That's been present throughout his projects.

    Oh you do? Good for you man.

    Honestly I don't particularly care for the lyrical content in his R&B/Reggae songs, but I'm probably biased since I'm a foreigner and I don't pay enough attention to what he might be saying in those tracks

    I definitely think you're underrating his rapping/songwriting (inb4 ghostwriter jokes) skills but cool write up, Majid Jordan part made me lol

    There are so many people who believe Drake is an incredible writer who touches their hearts. Im not talking exclusively about our forum. The review is posted on some music site, so more readers will have an access to that piece. Who knows how many drake stans turns out to be drake haters? :emoji_wink:

    f--- both stans and haters lol.

    I like the album but it's obvious Drake's writing isn't his strong point tho. Again I'm not a critic or whatever but I find a lot of Drake's music (also on this album) enjoyable to listen to even if it's not groundbreaking or amazing.

    Oh sick one review from five years ago!

    People like Take Care. A lot of people have a higher opinion of it, and Drake writ large, than I do. But I'm hardly alone, and I'm not even in a particularly small minority. Btw what are your favorite Gucci songs?

    I also find a lot of songs on this album very enjoyable, but some people need to find balance in their lives and stop calling this album a classic or a classic in drake's standards, which is pathetic imo.

    Just saying it was met with critical acclaim 5 years ago and remains a fan favourite to this day.

    Had to google every line quoted to make sure they were real

    “On some DMX s---, I group DM my exes” sounds exactly like what someone would come up with if you asked them to write an accurate parody of the average Drake single

    Yeah it's not a classic. I just don't like this way music fans need to either call an album trash or classic.

    I'm pretty sure literally every person reading this thread knows that.
    I don't feel the need to call albums classic or trash, but this happens to strike me as trash.
