While the album may be aurally a success, one should offer the appropriate demerits for a rap album weak in content, especially in the year following a pop-rap crossover like “Alright”. Perhaps his view of women is camouflaged by his crooning, but Kanye even acknowledged the shortcomings of his womanizing lifestyle on TLOP (“FML”) and when Kanye is stepping off his throne to self-deprecate, you better know that it’s time to get up with the times and follow suit. One need only take in case “Child’s Play” to see that Drake is speaking of women as property to be collected and used for personal benefit. Furthermore, that Drake can’t get past his misogyny is kind of shocking to me. His rapping is even a little less clever, his flow less imaginative, than IYRTITL. His unwillingness to allow that there are other rappers even on his own level seems disingenuous. Now, 3 years later, he’s still reflecting on that, seemingly, same success. On NWTS, Drake was reflecting on his past success.
However, he hasn’t progressed in content, and there’s an argument to be made that he has REGRESSED. Drake’s rapping has got better, and sonically his flow sounds great and is still unique.
The thing that holds him back, in my opinion, is his lyrical content.
