In conclusion: Listen to it if you’re a fan - don’t if you’re not. I will say, 40+ tracks is a tough listen, but I would do the same for a #TechN9ne project and some of those have moments that are “sluggish.” I don’t think it’s better than #TheFallOff nor do I think it comes close to #GNX , I can make the argument that #DontTapTheGlass and #MaidOfHonor has some places to compare but #TylerTheCreator makes more cohesive projects and now, more than ever, it shows. If you’re someone that just wants to vibe and hear something in the background, you’ll have content that works for you. At the same time, you already had that with #SomeSexySongs4U .

The big question and ultimately, what this album will be judged on is: What happens next? If this truly got #Drake out of his #UMG contractual obligations, then #SteveStout ‘s thoughts about #Drake being independent might just come to fruition, albeit when he has significantly slowed down. We’ll see what happens over time.

…I think it has more insight as to what he was trying accomplish and also mindset. To me, he’s fragmented. He mentions that he’s paranoid on #MakeThemCry, he’s talking about his Dad having cancer, he mentions on #MakeThemPay that he loves J Cole but he can never forgive him, he has some moments of introspection that I WISH he would have done earlier (specifically doing this instead of his version of #TheHeartPart6 ). I think he also makes a mistake mentioning #TheBirdsDontSing track - I get that he still has problems with #PushaT and #Pharrell but, it just wreaks of not learning the lesson the first time. He has moments all up and down the projects that sound either self-sabotage-y or repetitive. It’s sounds like he doesn’t know where his priorities are, but that doesn’t necessarily mean bad things for an artist.

Considering that he is actively in a lawsuit with #UMG , dropping 3 at one time might be to resolved label commitments for his deal, and if that’s the case, you have to applaud the move…
