    Easily Drake's worst album to date, and one of the worst albums of 2018. Drake continues to get away with a lack of rapping ability and meaningless lyrics that seem to go nowhere.

    I get the hype that surrounded this album, given the beef with Pusha T, and the fairly 'meh' level of recent projects leading up to this one.

One of the main issues with this project is the fact that it was a double album when it didn't need to be. There is so much filler on this project it's unreal. The reason people miss the old Drake is because his old albums didn't have filler, each track had a purpose and place on the record as a whole. With this new project there is a side A and side B, when it had no reason to be a double album. There are some decent songs on Scorpion, but they are all overshadowed by the rest of the album. Upon listening to the first song on the project I was somewhat hopeful that maybe it could be better than the lackluster "Views" from 2016. As soon as the second track started it immediately delved into this washed out, generic sound that permeates the entire first half of the album. The second half didn't make up for that either, as it basically just continues the same flat vibe that is established on the A side. It's sad to see an artist getting stuck in their comfort zone and subsequently continue to release what is essentially the same thing in different ways over and over again without changing the formula or trying to grow at all. This is a grossly commercial, somewhat brainless, and painstakingly long album that really doesn't have anything to offer that his older projects didn't do better. It's like Kanye's Ye, except instead of the album being too short and fairly unimpressive, it's waay too long, and fairly unimpressive. 3/10.… Expand

    My initial thoughts right after hearing this album were “Damn, we got another Drake album huh?”. This really did feel exactly the same as his last couple albums, in the sense that, its a jumbled mess of rapping and singing.

This really did feel exactly the same as his last couple albums, in the sense that, its a jumbled mess of rapping and singing. I guess If you're a big Drake fan and have liked his last couple projects you'd be into that. For me, I see very little progression in his skills and it's more of Drake doing what works and I feel like he's been doing this “what works” thing for so long now that it's becoming worse and worse. The reason I think it's becoming worse and worse because Drake knows he doesn't have to try very hard or get very invested in these songs in order for people to like them at this point in his career; he's right and is going to get crazy number regardless of what he puts out.

    Now, do I think Drake has a good ear and all around good sound? Yeah for the most part. In saying that, there are some songs on here I like; not many! But there are some.
    The song 'Elevate' I thought sounded good with it's spacey and slightly eerie beat. Drake's singing and rapping were fine as well.
    'Can't Take A Joke' was another song I thought was good because Drake was actually rapping on this one and I personally like rapping Drake more than singing Drake.
    'In My Feelings' stood out to me for its beat alone, very bouncy, very radio friendly but I really liked it. 'Gods Plan' is the Fortnite anthem and I bump 'Nice For What' heavy.
    Other than those songs, nothing really stood out to me at all with the exception of the Michael Jackson feature (which, as a big MJ fan, wasn't a fan of because I really don't think Michael would like this. It might be not right for me to speak on the dead like that, but that's just what I think).

    If I was going to talk about each disc for a bit. I'd say I enjoyed the first disc much more than the second, simply because I felt the second disc was more, slow R&B throwaways from older works of his, or just the same rap/sing Drake we've heard for years. At least on the first disc, I felt he was talking more about recent stuff and that just made it more interesting to me, plus he was rapping more and like I said I like rapping Drake more than singing Drake.

    Overall do I think this is bad music? No, not really. Do I think its uninspired and very mediocre all the way through? Ugh... Yeah kinda. If I was going to give it a rating /100% I'd probably give it somewhere around a 34%.    … Expand

    Drake needs no introduction. Canadian rapper and singer, lots of money, last couple of albums were mediocre, you know the drill. The circumstances around this album are far more interesting. In May, Pusha T, fresh off of his excellent, Kanye-produced DAYTONA, dropped a diss track against Drake after our subject responded to a song on DAYTONA likely about his use of ghostwriters. Pusha, byDrake needs no introduction. Canadian rapper and singer, lots of money, last couple of albums were mediocre, you know the drill. The circumstances around this album are far more interesting. In May, Pusha T, fresh off of his excellent, Kanye-produced DAYTONA, dropped a diss track against Drake after our subject responded to a song on DAYTONA likely about his use of ghostwriters. Pusha, by all accounts, destroyed Drake, accusing him of hiding a child, using ghostwriters excessively, and other traits that made Drake look very weak in comparison.

    Knowing this, his stature is permanently diminished, most obviously on this record. He can’t easily pull off the tough guy sentiment anymore, nor pretend to be a family man. His two most “virtuous” traits, his bars would have you believe. But onto the music. The record is split into two sides. Side A (hip-hop) and Side B (R&B). Firstly, the length of this album is its major weakness - 89 minutes in total. Note that there will be no track-by-track reviews this time, there’s simply too many. Instead, I’ll list off some choice cuts.

    Choice Cuts:
    8 Out Of 10: 7
    Finesse: 8
    Nice For What: 8
    After Dark: 7

    Side A, the rap one, is best described as “boring.” Every flow sounds exactly the same, as do the choruses. The beats come off as uninspired and plain, just the same old melodies as usual. Aside from the cash-grab placement of singles, there’s nothing really worth listening to here.
    Side B, the R&B one, has a few songs that actually aren’t bad - but an equal amount of bland and mediocre ones. Again, it’s the length of the album. And there are some unequivocally bad songs on this side, notably “Ratchet Happy Birthday”, a contender for worst song I’ve heard this year. The following track and “Blue Tint” are equally dislikable. The last three songs actually have some meat on them - nothing I’d listen to on my own time, but not bad per se. But at that point it’s more of a treat for those who hadn’t left by the time they reached the end of this trash.
    This album was so amazingly piss-poor, it might be the beginning of the end for Drake. His reputation is gone, and soon so will his influence. Maybe that's a good thing.

    A horribly, boring mediocre album that should never have been made. I thought Views would be the lowest point in Drake's albums career but this one is even lower. It is an album that has NO point in being made. It was made just because Drake needed a new album, and arguably new money. No direction, no standouts, no inspiration, just mindless beats and soulless raps. A disgrace. 2/10

Even though Drake opens up about his private life and raps about relatable matters ("Emotionless" has the best lyrics on the record), he is very repetitive over the course of the first 12 tracks, and sounds very monotonous and bored with his own spitting. And even though Drake has a lot of past beautiful R&B songs (even a whole record, "Nothing Was The Same"), none of the tracks on the second part even comes close to the greatness of "Hold On, We're Going Home" or any track on 'Take Care' (the closest thing to decent is the Nicki Minaj sample on "That's How You Feel").
    It's a shame that one of the most anticipated albums of the year turned out to be such a dull and uninteresting ride.    … Expand

    During its 89 minute run, I found myself often zoning out before I realized that three songs went by. There are a few actually good songs that somewhat reignite my interest, but they come pretty sporadically and feel like diamonds in the rough amongst a sea of filler.

    It's also very hard to take anything Drake says seriously because of the drama surrounding him just before its release.

    It's also very hard to take anything Drake says seriously because of the drama surrounding him just before its release. His beef with Pusha T greatly overshadows any creative effort and diminishes any credibility he had as a rapper. Scorpion tries to restore faith in Drake's skills, but it falls short of being anything remotely compelling and becomes a testament of his lack there of.

    Aside from the radio singles, its forgettable and boring, and just too long to warrant a solid listen to.    … Expand

    Drake is overhyped and can barely rap he barely got variation on flows because his tone and execution sounds the same in every damn song

    I this album was 10 tracks, it could be a 10/10. What will they put in posthumous Drake box sets if he slaps all of the B-sides on a record for maximum streams? This is Culture II all over again.

    El álbum es tan Drake, aburrido em toda a sua extensão. Não ofrece absolutamente nada. En sí es una mediocridad, lo que gusta a la gente de hoy dia.........................

    This album is an elongated, double length, stew of mediocrity. If Drake was still innovating with his music I would probably still be a fan, but at this point it's all warped and blended together because it all mostly sounds the same. It's either a retread, a derivative of other better music or a mix of the two.

"Nice For What" is probably one of the only songs from this project that has a hint of the energy his music used to bring. At this point I have honestly lost hope that he'll ever release anything different or inventive again. I won't say it's not possible but with the track record of the last 3 years I have no reason to believe otherwise.… Expand

    it's just not good. It get so damn long and boring, and even the few catchy songs are not good. Nice For What is just a stupid song in which Drake make compliments about the listener.

    For every good song on here, there's one that's not good and two that are just phoned in. This dude literally bragged about how he finished this album the day before its release. First it was Views, now its Scorpion*, if the next album is trash - there is no hope.

    This is a prime example of why numbers don't make you a top artist. Sucesss does not equate to quality, and it is Drake who disregards such an important principle.

Sucesss does not equate to quality, and it is Drake who disregards such an important principle.

    Aside from the singles, which were enjoyable but tiring after so long, there is little that stands out in this project. The intro track, Survival, sounds like a ripped off sample of Drake's own "9" from his previous studio album, Views. While 9 was a whimsical trip and a highlight of that mediocre project, Survival has no substance to work with whatsoever. Nonstop is probably one of the weakest Drake singles out there. Instead of passion, his tone is a bore, despite the attempt to establish hype through some arrogant bars. A missed opportunity over this beat. Elevate itself cannot be saved from a French Montana feature. Emotionless and 8 Out of 10, however, are the most exceptional tracks due to the effort by Drake and his refined flow that has been a treasure in rap. God's Plan, though overplayed since it came out early 2018, is still a relevant track to jam to. I'm Upset, much like Nonstop, has no substance.

    Drake's constant exclamation on his distrust is already tiring, which is why the second half is an unlistenable portion that attempts to establish a vibe with generic and formulated production. The only exceptions to this is the two singles included in Side B along with After Dark, which in my opinion was above average in delivery, even if it was another track illustrating his desire.

    The problem with Drake is that he does not fit two extremes in a spectrum of hip hop demographics. Those looking for a lyrical conscious album will turn away from it. Those in the urban population looking to bump up a track or two will hardly find anything but singles. His progression as a rapper at this point is vague because he's always maintaining his success and struggle with trust and relationships as the focal point for his albums. It is the lack of perspective that separates the second half of his discography from classics like Take Care and Nothing Was The Same. Expect formulated rap to ravage the music industry. As long as the incentive of stream numbers are up there, Drake will cut every corner he can to preserve his "reign" as the "king".    … Expand

    Drake sounds bare as usual here. This album feels like a massive pile of bones with some bugs crawling through it and i say that as either know there is a lot of tracks they are almost all lifeless despite the large quantity. Every song is uninspired, drab and made for his fans, instead of us people living in the real world.

    Taking in fact the greatness of the Drake, this album has failed too much. More than 30 tracks? Why?
    If he had chosen only 15 would already be good, most of the tracks are shallow and you probably will not listen more than twice.

    FOR ME: King Michael was poorly used on this album, Drake used it in an unforgettable and nauseating track. The rest of the album sounds like an outdated Drake, as if he was trying to repeat everything that went right on his first two albums only in a wrong way. Just to note: In My Feelings sounds like a delayed version of One Dance.

    The good thing about this album was the leadsingle Gods Plan, for me it's a banger that worked. But only this one.
    In total: The album is tiring and cloying

    Drake's Fifth Studio-Album Scorpion is at best, a mediocre collection of many repetitive tracks which lack distinction and meaning. Don't get me wrong, this album definitely has some ups, but overall it remains as a major letdown and disappointment. You can't really blame Drake, nor have your expectations unrealistically set, Drake makes pop-songs for the largest audience possible.

    "Don't Matter To Me" is the only good song on this album. It's catchy. But this whole album is so bad and overrated. This album sounds the same like every hip hop and rap songs.

    Album is pretty trash. Typical sleepy drake. Only people that really think it’s good are the drake stans and in most of the positive reviews on here are people who say the album is rated low because of haters and not the artists lack of good song writing

    An extremely underwhelming album. A lot of the songs on the "A side" of the album are very pop/radio sounding, with not much effort or thought put into them. A lot of the lyrics are very questionable and low effort.

    B side is decent, with some decent r&b sounding instrumentals. However, most of these tracks on the B side are very slow/boring sounding and makes you want to fall asleep.

    Scorpion doesn't even come close to being one of his best; instead, it's a one-trick record stretched out into 25 endless tracks by an artist who's so deep into the self-obsessed, self-pitying rut he created for himself that he can't see daylight anymore.

    In the long run, a few duds in 90 minutes of material doesn't seem too high a sin, especially considering the same concession could easily be made for a release like the Beatles' White Album. Thus, with Scorpion, Drake makes a cohesive argument for broadening our attention spans and enjoying life's music, regardless of runtime.

    Scorpion might not be Drake’s most innovative work, but it does help to cement 40’s status as one of the best, and most consistent, producers of our generation, and sees Drake breaking ground commercially if not creatively.
