Yeah, I know you never said it was bad. But I do know it was hard for both of us to get into. I compared it to Magna Carta, and said it was the best we could reasonably expect. But I think you're right- Drake is showing signs of creative growth that shouldn't go unnoticed. He's not doing what everyone thought he would do, but he's still taking giant artistic leaps. Like I said, the fact that he out-rapped, out-sold and just plain outdid Weezy on every level is pretty amazing. I mean, you can't even compare NWETS with Human Being II. It's like comparing Picasso to Jim Lee. And Jim is a great comic book artist, but is he an "artist" in the truest sense of the word? No. He draws what he's paid to draw.
I hope Wayne turns this around in 2014, but Drake is currently too good for Young Money. His appearance on the comp was a kindness.
