Overview

Drake just released not one, not two, but THREE full albums on Friday, because apparently the man has never heard of quality over quantity.

*ICEMAN*, along with two others, landed with all the subtlety of a piano falling from a skyscraper, and honestly?

The beef is so stale it could be served at a museum cafeteria.

Meanwhile, music critics are scrambling to rank his entire discography because what else do you do when someone dumps their entire creative consciousness on the internet in one weekend?

The audacity. Drake just released not one, not two, but THREE full albums on Friday, because apparently the man has never heard of quality over quantity. *ICEMAN*, along with two others, landed with all the subtlety of a piano falling from a skyscraper, and honestly? We're exhausted just thinking about it.

The 39-year-old rapper is out here treating Spotify like his personal diary, dropping bars about Kendrick Lamar and LeBron James on "Make Them Remember" like we're still living in 2018. The beef is so stale it could be served at a museum cafeteria. Meanwhile, music critics are scrambling to rank his entire discography because what else do you do when someone dumps their entire creative consciousness on the internet in one weekend?
