    That this album get a 80 and JCole FHD gets a 67 is the reason why I do not respect Rap critics. This mixtape is completely thoughtless. Every time somebody criticize Drake music, he/she is said be to be "hating." I do not hate Drake. I do not know the man, and his personal life mean nothing to me. If you are grading this album by the standards of good hip hop music, this album fails onThat this album get a 80 and JCole FHD gets a 67 is the reason why I do not respect Rap critics.

    Complete and utter garbage, all of the mixtape was to much of his singing which sounds terrible and also the verses were to repetitive I hated this album because it was garbage.

    Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late (2015)

    3 / 10 The only track on this mixtape in which Drake is actually saying something, and a track that you can have fun with and vibe to is "Energy". Other than that, Drake obviously has nothing to say. He's saying the same thing on every track, using the same vibe, same flow, same everything, making everything so sleepy and boring.

    The only track on this mixtape in which Drake is actually saying something, and a track that you can have fun with and vibe to is "Energy". Other than that, Drake obviously has nothing to say. He's saying the same thing on every track, using the same vibe, same flow, same everything, making everything so sleepy and boring. No colorfulness, no lyrical ability, no ideas, not even a memorable personality.

    I get it if you like it, I can see how some people can, just not for me.    … Expand

    His music has an airless, contrived and over-polished quality. However, the production style developed by his team of collaborators is glacially impressive, if gloomy. [Apr 2015, p.66]

    This enthralling, enigmatic statement conjures a mood that's all its own. [May 2015, p.108]

    It makes for an album that's hard to love right away, but if you stick with it, is a rewarding listen.
