    @Narsh How can Beast Mode be classic with only 8 songs? Not gonna count Real Sisters since he used it on DS2 in the same year.
    It would be generous calling NWTS a classic. Take Care is still great 4 years later.

    no need to harp on the word "classic" either. my point was future has a much stronger discog than drake, regardless of how you want to label the releases

    many future fans argue this is his weakest release this year (not counting watba) and it might be my favorite....perfection tbh

    why wouldnt you count real sisters? lol its a bonus on DS2 along with trap n----s etc. basically 1 track from each of the tapes, plus 2 other new cuts.

    And Beast Mode is 28 mins. Its basically flawless. Some of the best production Future's ever went over. show stealing features from people like Juvenile out of nowhere, and some of his beest cuts to date w/ more range than his longer length projects (lay up to just like bruddahs...peacoat to where i came from)

    What makes it "much stronger" besides the fact that he's released more projects? If you wanna say he's released more good projects, fine, but saying he has a much stronger discog implies that Drake has multiple weak projects in his. My point is if you combine each of their album ratings and compare the overall score, it would be very similar. TML is the only thing you can consider average/below average. Everything else is very very good. And I'm sorry, I can't consider an album that's 28 min long with less than 10 songs a classic.
    Not what I said.

    its not even close because future's best 3 projects are comfortably better than basically everything drakes ever released. dont know how else to say it.

    TML and SFG aren't even in the discussion when compared to something like 56 nights or monster.

    and lol @ the length of beast mode being that big of a deal. dont get it.

    you can keep bolstering drake's discog for him if you want tho lol

    that the projects im listing are better. the sheer volume only adds to the argument for future.
    yes
    Wait what? How? Drake could have like 3 good projects and 1 great one. If future has 5 great ones, his discog is much stronger imo. It doesnt really have to discredit drake for the 100th time lol

    no lol
    disagree. TC is great. NWTS is "very very good," I can live with that. TML is good. SFG isn't really.

    @Narsh I completely understand what you're saying. Fine, you're not discrediting Drake, but you're overrating Future if you think Beast Mode, 56 Nights, and Monster are sooooo much better than TC, NWTS, and IYRTITL.

    Well personally I'd obviously rather listen to Drake's. If we're talking critically and objectively, there's nothing to back up the claim that they're infinitely better.

    @Poohdini also, re: album lengths, id 10000000000% take a lean 28 mins of organic, free flowing, creativity like beast mode over a bloated 17 track exercise in being rigid and stagnant.

    Take Care - 9/10
    NWTS - 8.7/10
    IYRTITL - 8.4/10

    Those are very fair IMO. Unless you're rating Future's projects 10/10, this is close whether you agree or disagree.

    Also Drake's unreleased catalog >>>>>>>>. Club Paradise, DMCB, 5AM In Toronto and that's just a few off the top of my head.

    Maybe a bit, but anything considered a classic should be rated at least a 9. How would you rate these 3 and Future's best 3?

    An 8 is enough for a classic TBH.


    TC - 8/10
    NWTS - 7.8/10
    IYRT - 7.5/10


    Monster - 8.4/10
    Beast mode - 8.8/10
    56 nights - 9/10


    Something like that

    Im probably underrating monster and TC

    nwts is nowhere near a classic. calling TC a classic is generous. Lot of problems in the middle to back range of the album.
