Verses are bland and uninteresting.
In fact this guy embodies everything Drake and more specifically Nothing Was the Same is not.
Anteater you said 'Drake was disappointing this year' despite releasing his best record to date, not to mention many, many good to great guest spots.
There's no way any logical person can put Nothing was the Same below David Dallas or whatever his name and album are called.
In terms of hip-hop, Nothing was the Same finds itself only behind Acid Rap in regards to AOTY.

Uh huh...okay then. I'm not on bad terms with Drake or whatnot. He's no
Kendrick Lamar (who had better guest spots this year anyway), but
Take Care was a better album than
Nothing Was The Same and all the big R&B players kick his ass on hooks this year, so there ya go.
Now as for Dallas: he's a DIY guy whose last record
The Rose Tint caught my attention back in 2011 (and it didn't need 50 different producers lulz), so when his new one hit and I spun it a few times, I realized it worked for me where others didn't quite click. End of story.
If you actually go and check out what reviews there are out there on
Falling Into Place, you'll notice they're all pretty positive. If he was just some "nauseating" white rapper who wasn't doing something right, you'd be seeing a different sort of response on the whole.
Let's be perfectly clear though: nothing I said in my review was insane, and Dallas isn't bland just because he isn't topping charts or marching in with your favorite producers (your comment on "better verses, production, etc." is subjective anyway, so I'm leaving it at that). This isn't NPR or Hip-Hop Nation or Pitchfork or wherever else you go for validation on rap, which is where he's going to be topping lists because...well, exposure is everything. And
Acid Rap? Lol: Chance sounds so nasal that the acclaim he's getting is a bit baffling TBH. Kudos on the production though...
Anyway, If you want to expouse the fantasticality of Drake and others, I would suggest making a list of your own. You'll give everyone who never spent any time with him this year an excuse to go spin the album and the rest of us who heard it already an incentive to enjoy it all over again.
Thanks for your response by the way.
