13460389, "Classic albums" aren't important to Drake's main fanbase Posted by Oak27, Fri May-13-22 01:09 PM
They want songs they can add to their playlists, not for a front-to-back album experience. Drake hasn't even cared to try to create great, cohesive albums for the better part of a decade. His goal is to maximize streams, which means putting out bloated tracklists with a shit ton of filler.
I'm a huge fan of Drake's early work. So Far Gone was one of my favorites of the 2000s, Take Care was solid (albeit too long), and Nothing Was The Same imo is his strongest album. Since then though, big yikes. But again, he doesn't seem to be even trying.
I'd say if you were to pick one that would be his best "contender" for the classic status it'd be either Take Care (definitely the Drakeyest of Drake albums) or NWTS. Neither are close though.
