| 3 of Drake's project (from top to bottom; Drake's "Take Care", Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" and Drake's "Nothing Was The Same") |
Went in full Drake mode this week. I wanted perspective on him as an artist.
- Drake - Take Care

I can see how this can easily be regarded as his best work. Take Care works as a better Views. Showcasing all sides of Drake but just in a better way. The songs hit harder, the production is more lush and the intimate moments are *really* intimate in comparison to "Views". Personally, this project has too many tracks for my taste. It just gets boring to me after the second half of the project (With the exception of "Lord Knows") I know a Drake fan is reading and is vehemently disagreeing just know that I never was a big Drake fan to begin with, I still have a few songs from this album in regular rotation till this day. I remember some reviewer saying "Take Care" would make an excellent EP and I couldn't agree more, if Drake kept the track listing to 12-14 tracks than Take Care would've been something truly special to me. But for right now, I don't care for it as much as others do.

Holy shit, this has gotten better with age. THIS is what "Views" should've been. This album makes me want to visit the "6" more than "Views" does. The production keeps things interesting and Drake doesn't get tiresome after the first half of the project. He keeps things interesting with his subject matter, flows, cadences etc. It's like he experienced a real ego boost and just said "fuck it, I'mma rap" I've always said that triumphant Drake is the best Drake and he really knocks it outta the park on this project. I don't remember being that wow'd by this project but it's definitely grown on me with this listen. Might end up taking 1st place for my favorite Drake project which is...
- Drake - Nothing Was The Same

My favorite Drake project to date. Tuscan Leather, Furthest Thing, From Time, Hold On, We're Going Home, The Language, Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2, Started From The Bottom, Worst Behavior (Yes I fuck with that song) are all some of my favorite Drake songs and so many are on here. Ironically enough, a lot of my other favorite Drake songs are on his other 2 major projects that I didn't talk about, which is Thank Me Later and So Far Gone. This project cuts off at the right time (excluding the bonus tracks) so it's the perfect length and Drake does all of his styles well on here but it doesn't get boring or tiresome like it did on take care. I firmly believe Drake struck the perfect balance of all his styles on NWTS and it remains my favorite Drake project until further notice.
