Its been 5 years since Drake dropped his third studio album ” Nothing Was The Same“. It was “Take Care” that shot Drake to mega stardom, but “Nothing Was The Same” was the album that cemented his legacy in the hip-hop game. Not only did he avoid a sophomore slump with this album selling 635,000 copies first week, he made us embrace his rapping and singing abilities. This album is about Drake bragging about his fame and money but also talks about his personal problems with family and friends aka Nicki Minaj.
The thing about this album is the repeatable factor, you can play any song at any moment in time and still be able to relate to it. With stand out tracks like “Started From the Bottom“, “Worst Behavior“, and “From Time ft (Jhene Aiko) plus several others, this whole album is a vibe. There’s 15 tracks on this album, crazy part is Drake could split it in half drop it separately and go platinum with both. This album is littered with banger’s without question, Even the intro is in debate for the best ever and that’s rare. The way Drake transitions from talking to the ladies to talking his shit it shows why he is the people’s champ. The Instagram captions you get from this album is incomparable, Drake could drop this album today and it would do better off the strength of the quotable in it. This is his best album because it showed the journey of how the boy became a man.
In all this album is a timeless classic without question, but is it his best? It’s definitely in his top 2 since ” Take Care” holds a lot of weight in the public eye. Its been 5 years and this album still slaps. Its even more crazy because the older you get the more you can relate to tracks like “Pound Cake” and “Too Much” Drake couldn’t have done any better. Let me know what you guys think, is it a timeless classic or am I gassing it? Is it better than ” Take Care” or does that album still reign supreme.
