In a world where stars align and pop culture collides, Drake finds himself again at the center of a cosmic debate. As he drops not one, not two, but three new albums this weekend—namely ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR—you might wonder, is the universe conspiring against him or cheering him on? For two years, our dear Aubrey has been enduring a seemingly endless barrage of criticism, which has only intensified this past weekend as he took a look back at the jabs hurled at his 2011 classic, Take Care, while simultaneously aiming to crack the code of public perception. Could it be that the Mercury retrograde has everyone feeling especially salty, or is Drake simply the punching bag of the music industry? A recent scroll through the comments section reveals fans are less than shy about their opinions—some slamming his latest work as “weak” and “boring,” while others cling to older albums like lifeboats. Regardless of criticism, he’s now overshadowing past critiques with commercial success, and one can’t help but ask, will the stars finally favor him, or is it just another cycle of love-hate with the public? Let’s dive into the celestial fallout from Drake’s latest releases and his reflections on the artistry that’s shaped his journey.
Drake has been getting a lot of flack for the past two years, but he’s always had a lot of hate his way amid his success. After dropping three new albums this weekend (ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR), he seemed to respond to fresh criticisms of these projects by looking back at a HotNewHipHop comments section’s critiques of his 2011 classic, Take Care.
As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, Drizzy reportedly took to his Instagram Story this weekend to share a screenshot of various users reacting to our coverage of the LP when it first came out. Here are some highlights: “Drake lost some respect with this one,” one of our users wrote, with another claiming the full-length was “weak, repetitive, boring at times… Nothing new, nothing exciting… Same ole, same ole… Blah!”
“Too much singing for me,” another user wrote, with two folks replying by defending it as a solid album on one hand and arguing in favor of Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV instead. Another fan said he preferred Thank Me Later for its features and “classic” verses, saying Take Care is a “good album but not great.”
Regardless of the critical reception to The Boy’s artistry, Drake’s ICEMAN trilogy is taking over commercial metrics. It’s breaking streaming records, setting up historic Billboard runs, and captivating fans all over. Whether they want bars, R&B jams, or club hits, fans have a lot to dive into. With all this success and evolution in mind, old comments and jabs equally tap into disproven assumptions and unchanging trends.
