Is Drake too big to fail? Know you rep for him, so I'm curious to hear your take on how he can expect to weather the storm of his first widely agreed-upon dud, or if he even needs to worry.
It's not a dud sales/streaming numbers-wise and that's all that matter. It has never mattered what critics think of Drake, to the extent that it matters what critics think about music at all. I'm into the new record and I can't see how it's much different from his other work, and I think the story of it being a "dud" is more about music critics being tired of Drake's omnipresence than anything else. Drake is Drake is Drake. Love him or hate him, he hasn't changed much!
