Scorpion- Drake
Following the paths of other notable artists historically, Drake checks off the ādouble albumā marker. Heās once again at the forefront of the industry. Dropping high charting singles & being involved in a highly controversial beef with Pusha T. Drama aside, Drake unleashes an album that keeps things at status quo. For better or worse. Side A honestly comes a bit closer to what I would expect a good Drake album could be with him as an MC. Dripping with charisma & some witty lines. Side B I feel takes things into the simping abyss weāre used to from him. For every hit he has (āNice For Whatā, ā8 Out of 10ā, āCanāt Take a Jokeā) the misses are glaring & lack of effort (āTalk Upā, Ratchet Happy Birthdayā, āThats How You Feelā). At the end of the day this album was what I expected. Hot singles with a small bit of insight thanks to him being a new father, with a bulk of filler. Drakeās in his lane & heās still yet to crash. However the best of both sides turned to a single LP would of made even the staunchest critic like myself heap more praise.
