The comments on that Drake x Future - Jumpman thread are legitimately bumming me out. Specifically one dude had the audacity to say he hopes Drake really takes his time crafting a legitimate classic for VFT6 and that he hasn't made a classic yet (which, last I checked, is true -- outside of Drake stans themselves no one heralded Take Care, NWTS etc. as classics, just good-to-great albums for the most part). Dude and anyone defending him is getting swarmed with down votes, and people saying some legitimately crazy shit like "Take Care is one of the best albums ever made" are being upvoted and patted on the back like they just had the courage to come out and admit they were raped or something. Is that just a weird case specific to a seemingly innocuous thread (which frankly has no reason to exist in the first place) or has this sub really hopped that hard on Drake's dick in under a year? I remember when NWTS after the dust settled there was plenty of discussion about how the album didn't live up to the hype, was merely good, had some filler etc. and more or less the same w/ IYRTITL, although I believe that got a bit warmer reception overall. But nothing on the level of seemingly unanimous praise and love that shit like GKMC or pretty much any of Kanye's albums get, which is understandable and seemed to be reflected by both pop culture and critical standing over the years. I'm in no way a Drake hater (I've warmed up to him since even the Take Care days, and think he's one of the better artists out there right now) but this outright stannery seems weird and almost foreign to me. Is it just sheltered kids seeing the aftermath of the Meek Mill thing and thinking Drake is some untouchable god now, so they better hop right on dude's dick for the longhaul? Or is this something that's been in the works for longer than that and is just now bubbling up to the surface?
