There was enough on there for Drake to stand by it and push it as a follow up album from Views but he had no faith in the project. He had no competitive drive or confidence to drop an album around the same time Kendrick was coming out. Instead he hid behind the idea of a “playlist” and dikkride some British artist. Premiered it on apple ovo radio and got all the fukk out the way for Kendrick to dominate. He clearly wanted no smoke. DAMN was the biggest album of 2017 but it would’ve been nice to see these two go for the crown but Drake threw in the towel.
I guess it was that fear.
