Nothing was the same is his only classic (Sampha was a huge contributer).

Still respect him as a legend in the game ofc

Take Care in terms of artistic quality I think. Still makes aight stuff but nothing exciting/interesting or novel for him

Popularity wise or music wise? Music wise his stretch from Take Care -> Nothing Was the Same -> IYRTITL was definitely his peak. Popularity wise it's definitely 2015 to now basically

I voted Take Care but Drake is not an album artist so the poll choices all feel weird to me.

Album-wise his best album was NWTS tied with Take Care, just depends on your preference.

Personally I'd say NWTS was my most listened to Drake album. Still with that said Take Care turned Drake into DRAKE.

His loosies have always better than his albums. Technically, "Care Package" is his best album to me.

Drake isn't really an album artist but he will never capture the magic of Take Care again, and he knows this.

Nothing was the same is a pretty good album and nearly everything else he's made is not.

Conversely, his nadir must surely be rapping about how he loves to go to the Cheesecake factory.

For me it was Nothing Was The Same, if we aren't counting if you're reading this.

I still think, if he really cared, he could pull of a great album. But he is too busy chasing that streaming money to make something cohesive and filler-less.

If anything Drake is still on the up and IYRTITL was the thing to take him in ultra mode. Take care was solid and with out it we would've never had NWTS, but it was IYRTITL that had everyone talking. I was in college when this dropped and he took over when that dropped it was insane.

If you're reading this even despite the Quentin shit was the peak. The meek battle. I think it's been a very slow decline from there, but we will see how clb turns out

NWTS an If you're reading this are his only complete albums. Rest has a couple solid tracks but I don't vibe with em, never liked Take Care much although it's a favourite of many

For me it was probably when he was the second best rapper on this track behind Eminem, decent to outshine Kanye and Lil Wayne back in day.

Funny (maybe a poor choice of word on my part but can't think of a better one) to think about where all of them are in their live now though.

popularity wise it's like a big long plateau from take care to now, every era had massive singles which is really all most people care about i think

my favorite was nwts though, the intro to own it will randomly play in my head on a regular basis

Definitely 2015-2016 with If You're Reading This in the spring, then Hotline Bling in the fall, then Views in the spring of 2016 with One Dance.

NWTS was his only album that was a banger from beginning to end.

It's also peak 40 Production imo. Dude is a genius.

I'm picking he's not at his peak yet. His peak is when he makes his duet album with either Taylor Swift or Adele. He's going to marry one or the other.

Does Drake acknowledge The Struggle in his music at all? He's always striked me as a happy go lucky dude. Would never have predicted his mainstream career would be this long.
