Against my better judgement I'm actually kind of... anticipating... the new Drake album. I mean, look at the cover:
also, the tracklist look kind of intersting:
1. Shot For Me (produced by 40)2. Headlines (produced by Boi-1da & 40)3. The Ride featuring The Weeknd (produced by 40)4. Marvin's Room (produced by 40)5. Club Paradise (produced by 40)6. Her Regrets (Interlude) featuring The Weeknd (produced by The-Dream & 40)7. Her Regrets featuring The Weeknd (produced by The-Dream & 40)8. All Kinds featuring Justin Timberlake (produced by Timbaland)9. The Real Her featuring Lil' Wayne (produced by Streetrunner)10. Good Ones(produced by Lex Luger)11. Sing For Me (Interlude)(produced by Jamie XX)12. Free Spirit featuring Rick Ross(produced by 40)13. Lord Knows (produced by Just Blaze)14. Doing It Wrong featuring Stevie Wonder (produced by 40 & Quincy Jones)15. Never Enough featuring The Weeknd (produced by 40)16. To My City (produced by 9th Wonder)17. Take Care featuring Nas, J.Cole, Eightball & MJG (produced by Hit-Boy & Chase N. Cashe)18. Yours Sincerely featuring Stevie Wonder (produced by 40 & Stevie Wonder)
plus I liked a coupe of tracks on his first album.

I'd consider that more two and a half, really. But I think the Drake-guesting Weeknd track was the only one I went back to on the last mix, so maybe they won't be awful? But, tbh, at this point I can't see myself listening to this whole thing until I get bored and its on Spotify.

i liked his piece on watch the throne but this one is a little muddled, although i suppose my thoughts on the album are somewhat muddled too. just for the h8rs, he devotes a full paragraph to gushing about crew love :) anyways, he's otm a lot of the time, esp when he says that drake's swag is first and foremost a coping mechanism.

When I ask about the strange square above the bed, he grabs a remote, and a projection system emerges from the ceiling. Neato, I say.
"Would I have you already?" he asks. "Are you sleeping with me?"
Time to go!
It's a hypothetical question (I think), but Drake, being Drake, still wants an answer: "We had wine and dinner by the pool, I brought you inside, I brought the projector down; are you or are you not sleeping with me?"

Can I just volunteer that life becomes much easier and more enjoyable when you realize it isn't really worth the time to hate Drake? He's not Chris Brown; there's no moral imperative to despise his music.
I've come to regard him as the Family Guy at this point: He's going to irk me sometimes, he's going to amuse me at others, but since he's everywhere, all the time, I might as well just get used to him.
