Every song can't be 3 verses, especially in this era of 120-150 BPM beats which are treated more like 60-75. If nikkas spat 3 16s every song more songs than not would be 5 minutes.
I do agree that Drake as a lyricist cannot carry a full rap album. IYRTITL was the most rapping he's done and continued his trend of lyrical regression
Cole's last album is a great example of the blend. Most of the songs have a 3 verses of bars from the rapper you're buying the album for.
