Drake spoke to TSN announcers about his next album while sitting courtside at the Toronto Raptors-Phoenix Suns game on Friday (February 22). During the conversation, he revealed he’s keeping his sixth studio effort much shorter than the bloated, two-part Scorpion project that arrived in 2018.
“I’ve been doing this for like 10 plus years as well … sometimes you need to set a target goal for yourself just to keep it interesting,” he said. “Last album, I went high volume. I did two sides. It was like 20-something songs, which is a lot of songs. This album I’ll probably make it more of a realistic offering. Something more concise. It could be 10, 11 songs – 16.”
The 6 God added, “I also do a lot of different types of music, so it’s tough to make it like a seven song album” but whatever he’s doing, he’s “having a lot of fun” doing it.
Scorpion dropped in June 2018, not long after Pusha T delivered his scathing diss track, “The Story Of Adidon.” The project boasted an attention span-testing 25 songs and included the singles “Nice For What” and “God’s Plan.”
Birdman Explains What It Means For Drake To Have An Unlimited Budget With Universal
The album broke Spotify’s one-day global record with 132.45 million streams as well as Apple Music’s single-day record with 170 million streams, breaking Drake’s own record set with More Life.
Upon its release, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with roughly 732,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week.
Still gonna be high volume for streaming numbers.
Please don’t release another album. We get it. You fucked this rap shit up with your singing since you stepped in the game in 2010. We don’t need more damage. Just leave hip-hop alone and stick it to investments and the raptors. It’s time to let it go. No more lyrical vagina bombs in our ears please.
Nobody ruins hiphop. You can have legends and great rappers, and pop star radio hit makers. Thing is, there aren’t many great emcees in the mainstream. That was even true in the 90s. But hey, pop sells, and every great genre ends up becoming mostly pop for sales. Rock n roll had a golden age, and today there’s tons of crappy pop rock. All great genres end up becoming radio pop. I don’t like Drake at all though. Literally not one single song I like, but why is he’s so popular? Because he is consistent, and doesn’t wait years to give fans new music. People like kendrick literally wait multiple years in a row to drop one single song for us. That’s annoying, and party why pop rap dominates. When Tupac was hot, it was dope, because he dropped so much so quickly. Same with DMX, two hot albums in one year! Gotta love artists who give people music consistently.
But whenever Kendrick drops though, he still grabs everybody’s attention and still goes platinum. He’s one of the few who can get away with waiting a few years and coming back like he never left.
I personally think Kendrick has pretty bad playback value. I play music daily at work. I was basically a Kendrick STAN, but I find myself skipping his songs, and not skipping Schoolboy Q.
Yeah I also think Kendrick’s replay value is shabby. While Isaiah Rashad and Schoolboy Q are making music I used to replay from time to time.
Drake is the goat. He be making hits that be getting your girls booty shaking. Just check his concerts. Mostly girls mixed in with a few gay guys. Now that’s a diverse strong fanbase right there. Those vocals be making them coming out in flocks. Drake is my queen. I hope one day I can marry him and we can fight for gay rights together. Drake got the rap game by the throat.
You are far too obvious of a troll. Work harder next time. Anyone who takes your comment seriously is mentally handicapped.
lol im pretty sure hes not trying to make it look real. its supposed to be obvious
Drake? Nah. Nothing about him screams GOAT yet. Name me one contribution to hip hop he’s done besides selling a lot of albums? If you can do that, I’ll take your word for it. Drake is not a GOAT. In fact, i could have sowrn he’s been accused of being ghostwritten a lot so i gotta question his validity of being a GOAT in anything. You don’t write your shit? you can’t be a GOAT period…and please don’t come with that nonsense about people had their stuff ghostwritten too. The ones that never been ghostwritten are the GOATs in the game.
Your boy, dr dre doesn’t write his lyrics either. Drake writes or at least approves of the lyrics.
Drake is the first artist to blend in hiphop and r&b successfully.
Worst album worst artist no one cares it’s all hype
Who cares how long it is … just make it actually listenable … Scorpion was boring trash … 3 maybe 4 decent songs with replay value
At least we know it will be more than 7 songs like those GOOD music “albums”. Pusha couldn’t drop a proper album because his boss wouldn’t let him. Hate to see it.
Ghostwritten, Beat Biting, Lyric Stealing, Blackface Bitch…When it comes to rhymes, don’t steal or take, be original, don’t duplicate…Bitch Made Puppet. remember what fantano says on youtube..Blackface Drake is in denial…TRUTH.

You broke hater
Preach son Preach!
Friday was not Feb 22nd it was Feb 21rst.
Or was it the 23rdth?
Gets dissed then drops a record with 132.45 million streams as well as Apple Music’s single-day record with 170 million streams. I kind of happy addison dropped, makes drake that much more resilient in a culture full of hate
Streams don’t mean shit when you can listen for free. Plus, that doesn’t mean quality. Drake is an R&B pop artist who tries to act hard from time to time, One Dance and Hotline Bling are proof of this.
