Nobody ever really wins when it comes to Drake – the man who rules the fall season and social media conversation with his recently leaked
‘Nothing Was the Same.’ Writers and critics who focus in on him
constantly risk getting scrutinized themselves because of his iconic
status. Even if one blogs about the most essential news concerning
Drake, that person risks earning the ever dubious title of a “d— rider.”
Cover him too little and risk the ire of fans and fellow writers who
constantly seek to crown him as mainstream rap’s king.
Drake portrays himself as the rap game’s King Midas, and while
everything he touches many times turn to gold, nothing is entirely
perfect. Not even Drake’s own life. The irony of ‘Nothing Was the Same’
is that while it will undoubtedly further push him into iconic status,
the album seeks to debunk this myth as he paints himself as a flawed
human being rather than just a figure. Relationships are broken, trust
is hard to come by and the thorns of the Greatest Rapper crown begins to
show itself.
‘Nothing Was the Same’ is noticeably darker than its two predecessors
— ‘Thank Me Later’ and ‘Take Care.’ The production — handled by the
likes Key Wane and frequent collaborators 40 and Boi-1da — is moodier
and more stark (and most importantly, fantastic), giving Drake a space
to expand on his fears and ambitions. I'll let you download this album and leave your comments once done.
