    I thought IYRTITL was repetitive & boring. No doubt he is on the decline.

    Yeah, it hasn't been a great half of 2015 for Drake. His last album was really underwhelming with a couple gems here and there. Hoping for a better project later this year.

    That Jungle video for promo of the mixtape was kind of bleh. But otherwise he's on his worst behaviour and still dropping bangers.

    Wanted to rate IYRT around 7.5 but it got bumped up. NWTS is the better project but the difference is inconsequential cuz drakes boring atm

    I remember listening to NWTS for the first time on a road trip to San Antonio. I was so hyped up thinking I was in for a classic I could play a couple times on the way.

    What a f---ing average album and road trip that was lol.. Take Care is 100 times better

    I was at the gym the other night and it plays really weird and random music you'd never expect to hear at a gym. All Day by Kanye gets some plays (sure that makes a few of you happy) but they played this Drake song something "Woes" it was the first Drake song I've heard since Successful which I liked. The way I felt listening to that song....the only way it can be explained is how you guys would feel in my situation if they played Survival by Eminem while you were working out. Just lol THATS rap now? I used to think a lot of people tried too hard about being embarrassed listening to current Eminem but now I know how you feel. Its sad I used to like Jimmy from Degrassi.

    a lot of the drake's lines are cringe worthy these days and definitely sound forced a lot of the time.

    Thing is you can lol I never hear any drake being played in all honesty. When I was in high school I know a lot of popular girls talked about him but that's about it.

    NWTS > Take Care and IYRTITL = NWTS. Drake is far from declining, he's one of the most successful artists in recent years, and I think he can only get better.
