"theory: Drake was never the same after the Meek Mill battle"
Sure, Drake's bigger than ever. But if you look at how strong, inspired, and consistent the work was up until the Meek battle I think you can point to that moment as the moment when Drake stopped making authentic decisions.
Sure he survived the battle. Hell, he actually won it which is weird when you consider the impetus for it (Back 2 Back still kicks ass)
But his shit all sounds like it's tested in front of focus groups now, and the content is less earnest than it's ever been. In trying to figure out where he stopped challenging himself and instead focused on just maintaining his status I think it really starts at the Meek Mill battle.
