Jon Caramanica on Drake’s “Iceman” being pure writer’s music 🔥
“So many words… It’s a very written album. These are written lines.”
“I imagine the Notes app, if there is a Notes app, where it’s like: best possible line about Jay-Z, best possible line about Khaled, best possible line about Rocky… literally cross out, better, cross out, better… until you land on ‘I’d take 500k over the dinner any day.’��
“Drake is so sure of these words, he’s not using a pencil — he’s writing this in pen.”
Jon calls it an excellent record but notes it’s not chasing radio hits or summer anthems like Maid of Honour could. Instead, it feels more time-specific and focused — the most focused he’s felt in a Drake project since the surprise release of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
