What made you go back to the one you hated?
Well, Drake is one of my top 3 artists and I just wanted to give the album more chances. In all honesty it just grew on me the more I listened to it. I genuinely thought it was some of his worst work on first listen but after over a week I’ve grown to like ALMOST the entire album.

Okay cool, i'm in the same position, hate about half of Habibti and only a couple are great. Maybe i'll give it some more tries.
I loved the rollout. The production of E4 along with the reveal of the trilogy was the most memorable musical moment since Blonde.
Music wise, Iceman is the main course and it delivers. It’s not completely flawless but still remains an incredibly cold and calculated body of work, Drake’s pen is simply the best and I do find it lived up to the monumental hype.
Habibti & MOH both sprinkle some of my favourite Drake tracks ever in between other forgettable music. Neither are complete duds nor masterpieces but together provide a unique experience. They both offer a sound that Drake has not explored as boldly which results in a light hearted, crafty project and may even cause both to age gracefully.
If you already have liked what Drake has been putting out in the 2020s you’ll like some of this. Haven’t been interested or impressed with most of his music since then
Ran to Atlanta, the song with 21 (forgot name), don’t worry
My exact least 3 favorite
I'll be interested to see how it's viewed in a year.
The reception to Iceman is very similar to Her Loss.

16. Dark Lane Demo Tapes 8.3
17. Scary Hours 3 8.2
18. Thank Me Later 8.0
19. So Far Gone 7.7
As I never listen to Care Package (8.8) as a whole project, it's not listed here.
Views is better than any of your idol Kanye’s albums over the past 15 years
He not even in my top 3
The 10-13 tracks i kept from iceman are a smooth listen
The other tracks from the other albums gonna have to sneak up on me outside over the summer
deleting tracks you don’t like immediately i always thought was a weird practice

Yeah give it a few listens. Some tracks will grow on you
Iceman's a weird project for me because, on one hand, it's the first project I've liked of his since Views, and I think the writing overall is clever, but, the shots themselves are Nerf gun bullets, like, this guy really thought some "you're short like Muggsy Bogues" lyric was a fire line?
