I have pretty niche tastes but I didn't choose that just like you didn't really choose to like Drake (apart from searching for stuff that you like). I had an ex girlfriend who was really into Taylor Swift which I had no problem with, I even got into a few songs to try relate to her on it, but whenever we would get talking about music she would kinda shut it down, even though I wanted to try have that exchange of art we like. I don't know how to word this too well but I think a lot of the time this 'evil competition' is just a result of people with different taste being afraid to try connecting. Also I probably enjoy Drake just as much or more than you might enjoy some noise rock or some shit. I AM AWFUL AT AUX. You can probably play music you like to a car full of people and they will like it. I am genuinely BANNED FROM AUX IN MY GROUP. It's way cooler to be able to enjoy music with such a large group of people than listening to some underground shit alone. If there are people that treat music like a competition to be more niche that's just so fucking lame and uncool. I just like what I like and I wish I liked Drake because I'd have more fun at parties. If you like Drake then you should listen to Drake because that's what you like.

I was on Discord the other night on call with my friends and we were really bored so Luke shared his screen and we did this fanmade tournament bracket style Drake song ranking thing. It would pit two songs against each other and then you choose which one you think is better and whichever one you pick moves on to the next round and then eventually once you get through all of the first round match-ups, all of the songs you picked in the first round get paired up randomly and pit against each other in the second round and you pick again. And this goes on until there’s only 2 left and then I guess you’re supposed to be left with “the ultimate best Drake song”. Anyway, I realized how much I love Scorpion even though it got completely shit on when it came out. Definitely think it’s over-hated, but it rules. The song that ended up winning our bracket was “Headlines” which makes sense. I think his best album is still “Take Care,” “NWTS” being a close second. We’ve been playing a bunch of these bracket challenges for other stuff like movies, fast food, and other music stuff since then. It’s really addicting.

Hear me out.
Ever since the Kendrick / Drake beef, I’ve found it hard to listen to a lot of recent Drake music. It feels like Drake as an artist is split into two distinct phases that is pre MEGA star and post MEGA star, and the post phase for me (Views, Scorpion, FATD, etc) has been pretty stained by the beef and that music just doesn’t feel like it’s aged gracefully. There is one outlier in this all for me and it’s Honestly Nevermind (excl Jimmy Cooks)
Where the Kendrick beef highlighted a lot of the moments in Drake’s music that kind of make me cringe or at the least roll my eyes, this album still feels fresh and also separate from the narrative of Drake as this MEGA star with no friends in the industry sending disses and Serena Williams and name dropping people ever other bar. There’s something about the vagueness of the writing on this album that feels so different for Drake.
If you haven’t given this a proper chance, I really recommend it. It’s easy to listen to and a total breath of fresh air amidst a pretty monotonous string of music.
