[GetRichOrDieTryin]

Album is fire.
Solid 7.5 I would say. Lyrically drake is up there.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

So Hov was on both of the biggest event albums this year so far

So were like 5 other artists.

 

[Organic Trees]

She said she eat p*ssy I said me too

 

[DoubleClutch]

Drakes producer on this is so lazy.

Was he like “let’s sample some 90s rnb singer doing runs and loop it the throw some trap drums on it”

Makes me appreciate Donda production even more

 

[bigdaddy88]

Too many trappy tracks,,,if he had more like 2nd track would be much better or like pipe down

 

[Mastamimd]

Drake defeated Common?

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Jay was mad lol

At who tho?

shyt was giving me grandpa Simpson yelling at the sky vibes

No dog in this race, but I assume his point is there are millions of songs that Drake could’ve sampled, but he chose to sample music from a guy who is a defendant in a high profile disturbing case.

You clearly have a dog in this race which is why you brought it up in the first place

 

[Legalese]

This is like The Carter 4, with some people proclaiming its mid because he can’t live up to his old output and performance but compared to everything else that’s coming out its clearly a standout. Only mainstream album thats on this level this year is Cole’s

 

[Ill-Mind]

“Said you belong in the streets, but the streets belong to me it’s like home for me”

 

[Chip Skylark]

 

[FappleMeOff]

That’s just insane

 

[Heavy_Handz]

I’m not liking this album at all. Who produced these tracks?

 

[CrimsonTider]

The Off-Season was ok…if we being honest as a thematic work KOD was better and should be held in higher regard. The Off-Season felt like a return to Cole’s mixtape work as far as spitting. Still Cole isn’t making his best music in 2021 and that album kinda came and went if being real.

DAMN isn’t Kendrick’s best work it’s a pop album with some of the worst lyrics he’s ever spat he’s a white liberal favorite and critical darling.

Drake is a legendary rapper though he defined his era for better or worse if you want to put him in the “artist” category whatever point is dude is a legend.

Yeah, people don’t listen to albums like that…people listen to the songs they like. It’s not that albums don’t matter they matter when they come out but over time people just sort out their favorite songs. It’s why streaming playlists and shyt like Pandora is so popular. A lot of people don’t like listening to just one artist when they’re listening to music they like a variety.

Why would Drake just make singles when his deep cuts and b-sides are loved by fans? All of Drake’s albums hold up quality wise he’s never made a terrible album. All his albums have high production value and at least a handful of songs that go. U saying NWTS is trash top to bottom in 2021? The critique of Drake needing to switch it up is valid but at the same time dude is 35. The game has changed…a lot of his peers are running on fumes to keep they careers going. Personally I’m pretty much over all them nikkas including Drake, Kendrick, and Cole because you know what you’re going to get.

The production cole raps over isn’t interesting enough to keep hiphops attention

Drake's formula for albums is always the same. He goes in with the same mindset which is to check off boxes for each demographic that is a fan of his.

You're right that Drake can make any type of record. IMO it would be dope if he didn't feel like he had to do that on every album tho. It's the gift and curse of his popularity and versatility.

Isn’t that what he should be doing?

drakes fanbase is too large and diverse to have a project that has one focus

Barber got me right

too sexy on repeat all weekend

I just got a heart part
