i stopped listening to it top down, i usually just play tracks 8 to 16 and then repeat since that's the summer portion and it just rides well.

the 1 to 7 stretch is the best part of the album though, and as self indulged as it is, that's drake at home with some obvious growth when it comes to song structure and letting the melody carry his music.

i know the album is getting lukewarm reception, especially from those who were writing narratives as to why it would s--- before it even dropped ("drake is making a dancehall album LMAO", "imagine how corny an rnb disc and a rapping disc will be LOL" etc.) but if I found any redeemable case against this album by any of them, i might care.

but views is exactly the album myself and every drake fan who was waiting on this s--- for 2 years wanted, so i'm not mad at anyones opinion, just thankful for how much i'm enjoying it myself. i was doubting i would after how average his output was for me in all of 2015.

he finessed the arrangement of the summer portion so well. with you and too good being the openers and closers both have a light island vibe, with controlla and one dance going balls to the wall with it (and being placed exactly in the middle back to back).

and then everything in between capture pretty much every other mood for our summers. still here and childs play >>>>

this album only getting better for me each day.

s--- all sounds the same too, i'm a drake fan and i don't even know which one of the songs is "running through the 6 with my woes" dead a---, i just know its in one of the first 5 tracks which all sound the exact same.

agreed, but given that it clearly had a handful of gems, and that it was a tape, i'm no more mad at IYRT than I am with future's EVOL

WATTBA might be the most frustrating project of all time tho

if PND wrote 75% of it, did these n----s write the other 25%? @Poohdini

this n----- got a starting 5 and a bench for this track lmaoooo

I'm a Makonnen fan too, ask @BigCountry if you need a reference.

But check out dvsn's new album, it's the best thing that label has seen in a minute.

you acting like rappers on the come up don't do this all the time, you don't remember all the drake reference tracks for other artists from 2011?

Can someone link me to these reference tracks? Haven't heard 'em.

Our boy Makonnen smart as f--- for getting out early.

word, the summer portion of the album (tracks 8 to 16) might not even be for you, but i'm not mad at that

i live in canada, and that's probably why, but i've only come across one person IRL that isn't blown away by this joint lmao. this s--- is gonna ride for me all summer, whether or not i play it myself.
