In this clip, DJ Akademiks and Vlad discussed Drake's career trajectory, particularly focusing on his collaborations and approach to music creation. They discussed a perceived lack of synergy between Drake and other artists, for instance, Yeat, declaring that Drake seems to be in a position where he must either pursue 'youthful' trends or stay true to his original audience. Akademiks believes Drake is at a crossroads, where he can take the path of making songs for newer audiences, potentially at the expense of long-standing fans, or evolve his content to align with his original supporters who have matured alongside him. They also analyzed the effects of fans expecting certain music styles from an artist, citing J. Cole as an instance of an artist who attempted to break free from certain expectations. They concluded that Drake, as an artist, should have the liberty to experiment musically.
