Sep 23, 2013This lush, un-hurried album reveals a surer character, rebuking other rappers who talk smack "just to get a reaction" and even relatives diminished by easy money and proximity to fame.
-
Sep 25, 2013Nothing Was the Same wrestles Drake’s successes with his ever-lingering insecurities, and like some of the best music, we can see ourselves in these songs. It’s an exhilarating change of pace for the genre.
-
Sep 24, 2013Nothing Was the Same is ugly, yes, but cathartic.
-
Sep 19, 2013This isn’t Drake at his most exposed.... Production-wise, however, it’s his most mature, and frankly, most beautiful.

Sep 23, 2013Nothing Was The Same showcases new skills--trimming the unnecessary songs, and focusing on narrative details the way he does on “From Time”--that will strengthen Drake’s arsenal and help him continue to cement his status as a pop-rap heavyweight for years to come.

-
Sep 25, 2013His relentless delivery ensures that words spill out in defiance of the breath required to sustain them. But rate does not guarantee quality, and on Nothing Was the Same, his lyrics are worse than ever.
