Ilya was really into Drake in the 2010's but y'all aren't ready to have that conversation

Once the idea to create a constitutional monarchy where the King is governed by a council was proposed, the idea was widely welcomed. The wealthy who remained were happy that they were able to keep what was left of their estates while those who participated in the Goth's corruption, saw their fortunes and land handed over the Crown. Meanwhile common folk were glad to see one of their own take the throne with a council in place. A redistribution of wealth allowed impoverished folk to live a better standard of life.

With the public on board, next were the allies who were happy to see some alignment. This opened the doors to more aid; more counsel and the pathway to becoming a republic was clear. The council was called Parliament with Lords set by the people of the newly formed states. The Goth Mansion was burned and torn down and in a new location, Willington Palace was built. William was crowned King, honoring his grandfather Winston as his royal family name. Bob was chosen as his first Prime Minister and together they decided Pendula View needed a fresh new start - starting with the name. SimDonia was officially born.

Drake - Nothing Was The Same

It’s hard to believe there was a time where people were not sick of Drake. Nowadays, most people are suffering from Drake fatigue, especially where he’s released so much stuff over the years, let alone lost a beef with Kendrick Lamar that was frankly embarrassing for him. I used to be a big fan, especially with his second album, 2011’s Take Care. It’s one of the first rap albums I ever got into, but that’s the only one that I’ve gone back to for the longest time. I haven’t listened to anything else for a long time, at least until I found his third album Nothing Was The Same for a great deal online, so I thought, “Why not?” I had already picked up the album when it came out, but that was in 2013, so it’s been a long time.

The two big songs from this album were “Started From The Bottom” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” and those are pretty good songs, but how is the rest of the album? I didn’t expect to really enjoy this as much as I did, but this album has held up quite well. It’s not perfect, as this album was starting to show the issues that Drake would always have within his music, but it’s solid. I remember liking this a lot back in the day, and it’s held up well. This album continues his sound from Take Care, being this hazy, cloudy, and alt-R&B meets rap sound, but it’s more focused this time around. There’s a good balance between both sounds and personas of Drake; I say that, because he has a sensitive side and a more braggadocio side that comes out.

This record makes sense for the latter side to really come out, because a lot of the lyrics were dealing with Drake reveling in his fame. On Take Care, he was adjusting to it, and the lyrics were more about him coming up, versus being at the top. He’s at the top here, and the lyrics reflect that, but at the same time, he’s still struggling with relationships. These two things would be Drake’s trademark: flexing on people and whining about his relationship troubles, but this album was where it wasn’t annoying just yet. Drake sounds great, whether he’s rapping or singing, and his lyrics range from clever to cornball. Drake was always a bit of a cornball, even on his first couple of albums, but this was before his cornball behavior and lyricism really took over.

It wouldn’t be until maybe 2016’s Views where Drake fatigue would start, because every single of his records ended up sounding the same. I will admit that this album is a bit too long, clocking in over an hour, and he does this thing where songs just go on too long. Take Care did the same thing, but it’s kind of rampant here. With that said, there are a lot of great hooks, lyrical nuggets, and great production, along with a lot of solid songs that make this album hold up relatively well. The singles are pretty good, but there are some deep cuts that I really enjoy. I would recommend this if you enjoy Drake, or you want to revisit an album from the early 2010s that you haven’t heard in a long time. It’s not perfect, as I’d cut the album down a bit, but it has a lot to enjoy, regardless. This was before Drake’s star power began to fade, and people weren’t sick of how his music all sounded the same.
