Drake & 21 Savage - Her Loss (Discussion Thread)

[Born2BKing]

"Yo nikka took you to Hibachi for your birthday"

 

[RennisDeynolds]

major distribution and label on my dikk for real

The more I listen the harder this track goes



"Bad bunny numbers it's a robbery/ 500 million just for Aubrey"

"Tell ya guys slow down on the team chains, seem like they need money for coffins"


"Harry Styles numbers it's a robbery/gang goes in-Zayn to catch a body"

 

[Born2BKing]

Is it me or does Drake sound just like Young Bleu on Backoutsideboys?

 

[The Mad Titan]

21 Smoked 3AM on Glenwood.

Prosecutors probably wanna case him
See my opps, I jump out and chase them
I ain't Charleston White, nikka, I'll never Mace them
Love for all my artists, nikka, I'll never Mase them

Another 1 min worth of rapping and it would have really been worthy of the am/pm title

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Drake's singing voice kills kittens.

 

[Youngdev]

Drake running with the BD's outta chicago now

 

[CrimsonTider]

I think you're right. Personally the art rap shyt didn't bother me but it was Jay's first flex that no one really cared about. If he was a more active rapper rn he'd be rapping about crypto and shyt...which most black people don't care about either.

Drake has more relatable luxury raps than most. He's not out here pretending to be a fashion model. He's wearing nice suits and Nike tracksuits, traveling the world and eating at nice restaurants. That's far more in line with what most dudes want, vs Kanye's fashion raps for instance.

He leaned too heavy into the art raps. People loved him flexing about being a billionaire and being married to bey

Prayers and condolences to TakeOff and his family



Shoutout to Lupe Fiasco

WTF brehs

As much as I love this album, I think Drake is going down a similar path that Jay Z did in the latter part of his career. This is Drakes “Watch The Throne”, from the collaboration aspect, to the braggadocio luxury bars that are on each track. It worked for this album (and WTT), but I think he’s gonna drop a dud critically with his next release, similar to Jay’s Magna Carta Holy Grail.

I was a teen growing up when MCHG released, and thought that Jay was too un-relatable on that album to the point where it affected the album quality for me. I think Drake will reach similar levels with Gen Z. How long can a 36+ year old man constantly shyt on things that are perceived as “luxury” for the normal young person gonna last? This new Gen gonna get salty about it eventually lol

Not saying he will flop commercially, but he definitely will lose favor with the young crowd, unless he matures to some extent, similar to Jay Z’s following project after MCHG, 444. That album breathed new life into his career and extended his relevancy. Drake needs a 444 somewhat soon. Doesn’t have to be a similar concept, but an album with substance and introspection.

Am I tripping?

Not really, no, but he's seemingly self aware about it. So many lines recently about him making so much money his music is getting unrelatable.

This may be him going all out on it before reeling it in for a min. Next album should definitely be interesting

I think he's aware, but truthfully drake has always been unrelatable. This album is actually him being as relatable as possible but to dudes who are "mad at chicks" and "thots"

At some point he's going to have to stop dropping albums and start showing up on features here and there. I actually feel like he's handling his aging in music better than Jay, and most other super popular rap and hiphop artist that continue to actually make music. outside of say cole, snoop, em wayne and tyler. Kendrick can never go back to gkmc, most of these older rap artist are kinda stuck in a lane musically. Jay has found his lane now, but who knows if we ever get another album from jay he's what mid 50's now? At 36 Jay dropped Kingdom come, drake drops her loss. Savage and drake make good music together and drake unlike jay has been pop and "street" for sometime now. So it doesn't sound awkward...
I think the big thing is it's unapologetically non simpy (mostly) and way more blatantly disrespectful instead of hidden between singing and double entendres.

Drake is really good at emulating the current sound into his cadence, he technically can be relevant off features forever. Album wise, he should stick to rapping and collaboration albums going forward. I think the singing thing has run its course unless he really buckles down and focuses on his vocals.

Difference is Hov came from nothing, did the drug dealer thing, then music to various business (with Wifing Bey somewhere in there). He was also sneaky old most of his rap career. He has grown very introspective with age. And he's been a black man in America his whole life, which is a whole thing to itself.

Drake's life is different every way possible. Canadian, white jewish mom, child actor, seeded up a French heaux he wasn't even dating. Most of his life experiences are what came with going from some money to a ton of money. Don't nobody want to hear that tale. So hes just doing what he does best, making enjoyable music

Millenials are the largest pop group with Baby Boomers dying/getting older now so I think Drake lucked up generation wise compared to Jay who is Gen X which is a smaller group thus he had to appeal to Millenials who (depending where they well in the generation) not relate to him + some boomers who felt rap was "not real music".

Drake can tap into the younger end of Gen X, entire Millennial group, and older Gen Z.

We seen this nikka from age 21 to 36 in the mainstream, and he dropped every year
no artist has aged better in hip hop. This is just raw data talking

Hov, Future>>>

Yea

It can get stale though ...You enjoy his singing? Lol

I'm in the minority i know but Drake just lacks range literally and figuratively
