So Far/So Gone was played by everybody when it dropped. It was received well by the females because it wasn't degrading and sounded like a college love letter. Dudes liked it too because it worked well with the ladies, and Drake offered a type of honesty and perspective in his music that was fresh.
Seemed like every female was playing "Best I Ever Had" or "Houstanlantavegas" and every dude was bumping "Successful" or "Uptown".
Like I mentioned before, Drake resonates well with his fanbase because his music contains a certain honesty and perspective which allows people to identify with him one way or another.
