"Habibti and Maid of Honour sound better if you choose not to take them seriously." - @MobiusVII

I mean, I like those albums better than Iceman, and part of the reason those albums sound better is that they're not taking themselves as seriously as Iceman.

They're more fun, casual listens where the stakes don't feel quite as high because Drake doesn't feel pressure to drag out every stupid thing that he could bring up about the battle and then throw it back in our faces and twist it into a W when – in reality – he's just bringing up old L's and there's nothing he can say and there's no way he can frame it two years later that's going to make all of it look good.

He still lost, he still put out the worst of all the tracks, he still tried to sue over the whole damn thing. There's literally no use in re-litigating all of this, and yet he tried to.

But at least he kind of moved on and did something with these other records that was different and was more from a place of just passion and the enjoyment of creating music itself, and I hope he's able to just focus on that more in the future.
