This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. I feel like Drake is a sellout, and I feel like at the end of the day, I, listen, I like Drake's music. I think Drake makes good music, but I think he has to be focused on making the music that we like and stop trying to now be the competitor of Kendrick Lamar. We all know you're lyrically not Kendrick Lamar. And that's okay. You know what I mean? Kendrick Lamar is a lyrical genius. You are not, but you make great music. You're a pop star. You're an artist. You're a hitting. You hit. So just focus on making Kiki. Do you love me? And stop trying to make these deep lyrical songs

because that's not what people rock with you for.

This is the taking over the game.

All right, everybody, welcome to truth after dark. Do you think that men or women are more toxic?

Hello, beautiful people.

Welcome to another episode of The Truth After Dark.

I am your host, is our fair day.

Paul Pierce, the truth.

So yeah, Drake dropped some albums. That's been the talk of the town right now. Three albums, 42 songs. Have you got a chance to listen to some of it? Yeah, I listen to some of it. But, you know, it's hard when you first get it. I ain't heard it all the way through it's three three albums, first of all. It's going to take a minute to really, like, pay attention to it. There's some songs initially that I like, but I haven't had a real opportunity because, like, really, you know, you don't really know an album until like a month later. Yeah. You listen to it, and then you give, like, criticism at the beginning and you're like, oh, hold on, this is really popping. You know what I'm saying? But I will tell you what like critics are saying who's been through it already. There's already people before I even go through it and make my, you know, evaluation of it. There's like say that the album feels repetitive and that Drake is relying too much on familiar sounds

instead of evolving. I mean, I could, I could see that maybe in some of the songs I've heard.

It sounds like some of the other music he's made. And then other things that releasing 40 songs

at once diluted the best material instead of making one focused album. So, you know, we'll see. You know, because every Drake album I was like at the beginning, like, oh, no, let's see. You know, it's a couple that was out the gate first listen. It was like, whoa. And then after I listened to it for a couple of weeks, I was like, okay, this is popping. So right now, I don't know right now.

What about you?

Yeah, I don't know right now.

Dang.

I'm just like, you know.

All the songs I didn't already play for you, you've been hating on them.

Yeah, and I feel like, um, someone said this, Drake equals Kevin Hart, K-DOT Kat Williams, and J-Col equals Dave Chappelle.

And I will not be explaining further.

And I get that 100%.

I feel like Drake is a sellout.

And I feel like at the end of the day, listen, I like Drake's music.
