I’m not here to argue with men over another man’s art. Now, my perspective can be 100% wrong I just state my opinion on the cover and keep it moving. This to me, screams out success at the highest peak, however regardless of the success and clout and the view that he now has, the city will always be bigger to Drake, in Drake’s mind, than Drake is to the city. We get a tiny version of Drake sitting on the large pinnacle of the building looking out at everything below. Notice we don’t see from his view, which would make it seem like he was bigger than the city.

His cover shows him sitting on top of the CN Tower, which is the highest point in Toronto. The man wanted to make an album for his city, and the different aspects and demographics of life that come with it.also including where he began as an artist trying to come up in that very city and where he is now, which is the “prodigal son” of the city, if you will.

This cover, like any other cover, can be perceived differently by the individual eye.
