Too bad the rest of Scorpion sounds as dull as Drake’s eyes on the album cover. It still resonated thanks to its summery production and how truly engaged Drake felt with the work.
Drake talks about the Jay-Z/Lil Wayne beef after the jump. I knew I was going to go home and take longer than six months, I knew that I was literally going to take care of making this project and be attentive, be clear, be immersed in it. Its only saving grace is the hit God's Plan. We’ve always used that and then I really took so much care making this album. Not even Don't Matter to Me, featuring a Michael Jackson sample, could save the album from its stupor. What we have instead are 25 tracks of largely monotonous musings on spurned love and regrets. Drake may call it a double album, but there is no thematic strains holding the 90 minutes together. Scorpion represents both the zenith of that approach and an artistic nadir.
Prior to the release of his fifth studio album, the rapper had gradually moved away from tightly focused albums to longer and unwieldy releases to capitalise on streaming platforms (the more songs you have, the more chances for revenue). This is when Drake really jumped the shark. Take Care is the second studio album by Canadian rapper Drake.It was released on November 15, 2011, by Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Universal Republic Records.The album features guest appearances from The Weeknd, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. Let's take a look back at all of his six solo albums and see where Certified Lover Boy ranks in his chartbusting body of work. While Drake seemingly only has himself to beat at this point when it comes to commercial appeal, does he still have anything worthwhile to offer creatively more than a decade into his career?
