That was for sure an iconic time. One of my close friends went through a break up that exact time, and he always references Nothing Was The Same as saving him on those days. We drove around playing Furthest Thing one day

i used to run back Too Much and The Language, I go back to Connect a lot recently

years later the breakup music hits me a bit more emotionally, I was only like 27 or so at the time. It's a good album, very cohesive, and almost timeless, doesn't feel as aged as his debut, and a little crisper than Take Care's softer edges.

Production had the perfect fall/winter feeling. And yes, I udnerstand Drake's limitations as an artists, and the way his writing is generic in a sense, and this was instagram was just getting started, and rarely from the heart, but he is a new generation from guys like Jay, Nas and Pac. Like, you can tell the bars aren't really reflecting his life most of the time, it's for you to see yourself in, but it's dope regardless.

Literally me and my brother dog real shyt

ha. and we have to be 10 years apart, but that's the power and connectivity of music, especially kind of timeless music. Going to call my homie right now actually, he remembers like it was yesterday. Fall day, smoking a blunt, driving around in the middle of the afternoon.

Always remember my boy and I called him on speaker, and when he answered you could just hear his voice was all strained, and we were like oh this dudes going to be on that Drake shyt lol
