This week on "I've Been Meaning To Listen To That", we review ICEMAN by Drake with special guest Dakota West Foss! Plus, we discuss whether the rollout strategy of dropping 3 albums was an effective one, how there are a lot of parallels between ICEMAN and the Michael movie, how this album caters to his core audience, Drake's relationship to vulnerability and how it perpetrates a billionaire mindset, whether this album is better or worse than J Cole's THE FALL OFF, whether or not Drake is beating the allegations, and more!
