Is Drake “iceman” one of the most anticipated rap albums in history?

This shyt ain’t coming out until 2026. This rollout been clunky as hell, only song that somewhat stuck was what did I miss, the songs get worse each episode. He’s killing his own buzz trying to be fake cryptic and mysterious when that’s never been his bag

no. simply because since Views people have been incapable of being honest about his work.
its two entrenched sides with minds already made up before you've even hear anything.

I'm sure it'll follow most Drake album cycles from Views onwards. for starters it'll be too long. first listen its always tempered reactions bad/ok/decent/good. months down the line oh, its actually very good and theres about eight different songs that people have as their favorite. then as time goes on people look at it favorably.

only album that really failed that narrative was Scorpion. everybody just went nah, this a double serving of mid BUT Jaded. thats special.

Yall know good and damn well the entirety of rap discourse is going to singularly revolve around that album whenever the hell he drops it…yall kill me pretending not to be obsessed with this nikka, while simultaneously obsessing over every minute thing he does …all this fake concern trolling about how nobody cares knowing full well yall bout to have hundreds of posts bout the shyt and the expanded “obsess about Drake on the internet industry” universe

It's not gonna flop but it's clear he doesn't have the song he needs to really set this off. Very weird album rollout. He always tests various tracks to see what works but this process has been quite long, and the (online) fanbase has gotten so desperate for a W in a long-completed battle that they aren't satisfied with this shyt. I also don't think the influencers are doing him any favors by pretending like some imminent diss or bomb is about to drop, only for Drake to release another track for hoes.

hes not gonna flop he just did 250 with no promo with party on an rnb album...the question is how its gonna be recived and just how big it will be pause
Flop as in it'll come and go with no affect just like the last dud he dropped. He has a fanbase so he'll have #'s but it won't be anything to the actual hip hop community...won't be banging in clubs on the streets etc.
