his soundcloud songs are mostly hit or miss for me individually and this sounds like a bunch of those woven together but idk i think as full project it sounds pretty great together
it's easily the most anti-pop thing he's ever done though

First listen done. Other obvious highlights for me are "Star 67", "You and the 6" and "6pm In New York."
I dig it, but it doesn't reach even close to the high water mark of Nothing Was the Same. No anthems like "Hold On We're Going Home" or GOAT beats like "Pound Cake" or any of the other million awesome things about that album but it already grew on me a lot from the beginning to the end.
The internet can't seem to agree on whether this is just a mixtape or his pre-mentioned album Views Frrom the 6 with a new name. Where do you guys weigh in? The fact that he's selling it on iTunes and that he's following the "Beyonce'd!!!!!" model of doing shit I'd say album, but the lack of any singles plus the fact that it doesn't <sound> nearly as good as Nothing Was the Same suggest mixtape. Either way Drake hasn't weighed in and we don't know if there's gonna be a physical release or not. What do yall think?

Was it not common knowledge that he had a mixtape coming early in the year? LOL at this being described as a "project" in the initial rush to report it

― curmudgeon, Saturday, 14 February 2015 15:13 (nine years ago) link
Part of the burden of bringing softness to hip-hop’s center is the perpetual urge to balance it with something rougher. That’s the phase Drake is in now: on top, defending his turf, while trying to keep his heart pure.

I have to confess to not listening to much Drake (being more busy trying to find my teeth in the lake, or w/e), but I think this is a great song, and I also think it's really myopic and just a bad reading to see the lyrics as endorsing some kind of butthurt MRA POV about women. I mean, butthurt yes, but much more in a pathetic way that the song is self-aware about (although the speaker is not).

When he says "ever since I left the city" I picture him moving out to some near suburban attached development to save money, living in a clean but kind of sparely decorated apartment, a lot of blank white walls.
