![]() ![]() Mastermind: I think it's actually all three…. What is the Drake that we're getting with this album from your first listen? He can please his day-one backpacker fans. I think that's going to be the exact same thing with this one.Įlamin: Part of what's kept Drake winning, I think, has been his ability to switch modes. Six months later is the real reaction to it, and they tend to go back and say he knows what he's doing. Everybody talks either they love it or they hate it. Views was actually pretty good /fGeRIzFqpI- Since Views! It's like Drake drops an album, people do their thinkpieces in the first 24 hours, and then six months later they go back and they're like, "Oh, man, that album is so good." And that's actually been a very consistent trend for Drake. And so for me, Certified Lover Boy is actually a really dope album…. Mastermind: Because I've been a broadcaster for so long, I listen for songs that I think are going to hit on the radio or while people are driving, or whatever the case may be. So everything that he's talking about is exactly what I expect him to talk about. I really don't want him to talk about world politics or anything like that I don't run to Drake for that. He doesn't really talk about anything different, but he knows how to repackage what he talks about in several ways, all the time. Whereas this one, I think there's just a consistent flow of great production, great concepts, great songs. But I liked a lot of the bops on there - the ones that hit, hit very hard. Marlon: It was like he was in love, and then he was scorned. Marlon: Certified Lover Boy seemed confused. ![]() Marlon: I think it fits right at the top there. How does For All the Dogs hold up against all of those albums? We're including the collaborative album Her Loss with 21 Savage. Marlon, Drake has dropped four full-length records since 2020.

Why would I deprive myself of a girly bop? Like Views, More Life, Nice for What - I can't deny. So I'm here for the folks who maybe are like, "Drake is not my bag, but maybe this song is so good that it doesn't matter," you know? I really like the Drake for the girlies. But I'm not about to let my hateration stop me from listening to a good song. I think specifically as a biracial November Scorpio - elite, not an October Scorpio - with a white mom from Toronto, I am really positioned well to give my TED talk about Drake, which I won't. Sarah-Tai: Well, just to start us off contextualizing my relationship with Drake. I don't think we're getting something that different here. is a testament to the type of artist he is, but the fact that he continues over eight albums to release music at a fairly high level is pretty, pretty damn impressive.Įlamin: Sarah-Tai, I love Drake as much as the next guy, but I don't know if I agree with Mastermind in terms of having new stuff to rap about. The one thing I always take away from an artist like Drake is how incredible his output is - how he continues to come up with stuff to rap about, to write about. ![]() He's not just doing one-minute records the first three songs we've heard in the last six months are, like, five minutes long. ![]() I don't know if I'm too industry and maybe I'm overthinking it, but it really does feel like everything stops when Drake announces something…. Mastermind: Well, you know any time Drake drops, it's an event. What's your initial reaction to this record? I have so many thoughts, but I will defer my thoughts to later. ![]()
