Shai Gilgeous-Alexander needed two spots to rank his three favorite Drake albums. In an interview with Spotify, the Oklahoma City Thunder star put Take Care and Nothing Was the Same side by side at the top, calling them 1A and 1B. He gave ICEMAN the No. 2 spot. The ranking comes up around the 1:40 mark of the interview.
- 1A. Take Care
- 1B. Nothing Was the Same
- 2. ICEMAN
That order puts both albums ahead of ICEMAN, even though Gilgeous-Alexander gave that project his strongest endorsement for 2026. “ICEMAN is the best album of 2026, I think it has no skips,” he said. That was his pick for the year. His answer changed when Spotify asked him to weigh it against Drake’s other albums.

Why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander changed his Drake album ranking
Gilgeous-Alexander had ICEMAN first when the Thunder asked him to blind-rank Drake albums in September. He placed Take Care behind it in that video. By the time he spoke to Spotify, he had talked through the ranking with friends and acknowledged he might have gotten the order wrong the first time.
The Spotify interview also gave him a chance to say what stood out about ICEMAN. He brought up the shift in the conversation around Drake as part of what made the release stand out to him. “To produce like that after what the narrative was and what it is now, it speaks for itself, the greatness,” he said.
The two-time NBA MVP had an even simpler answer when the conversation moved beyond albums. He named Drake the greatest rapper of all time, per Bleacher Report. The two share Toronto roots, and when it came to picking one Drake album to lead his list, Gilgeous-Alexander stuck with a tie.
