Drake has been ass longer than he's been good

In anticipation of the three Drake albums dropping, I was watching a video of a soundcheck he did for a live performance of "Too Good" with Rihanna, and listening to how earnest, how fun yet serious peak Drake was, just so saccharine and predictable but there was this sense of energy and passion that is so lacking. It's all gooned out victimizations for almost a decade now. Call it slop, white boy cringe whatever, but growing up in the multicultural suburbs of the GTA, Drake is a borderline institution here for anyone under the age of 30. It's sad to see what was - maybe a meaningful representation of our collective growing up as a whole. The joy and magic of life is gone, all that's left is a cynical reflection on the past and a refusal to grow up.
