Thats my only criticism of the album. Needed more guests. Drake is a great compliment/contrast to other traditional vocalist.

Would have loved to hear Jorja, HER, Dua, Rih, Tems, Sia, Nicki, Doja or Ellie on some of these records. Would be more digestible to the masses. But i fukk with it regardless.

Can't believe there's folk in here with capes on talking about South of France & Ibiza

You nikkas don't even listen to House & Caribbean music and even if you were at those places you clearly don't know enough about scenes to even be talking

nikkas is 40 plus trying to flex on message boards :mjlol: clear losers

Anyway this album is like any food convo where you compare fast food from big chains vs the local shops, the quality of the food is just better from the smaller stores because it's what they do. Drake's got Passionfruit & Get It Together (Black Coffee made, Jorja sung, very little Drake) under him but he's not from this world. The production is lackluster and canned, overall just missing energy that House artists tap into. Drake's vocals are absolutely awful and sound worse with autotune, his pen or his tent's pen isn't used to the format which is why he only sounds at home on Sticky.

I like artists branching out to new shyt and Get It Together is my favorite track from him, so I figured I've love this shyt. This was a huge swing & miss and I'm not sure the machine is going to turn it around. nikkas talking about Cannes & Ibiza cut it out, you opened a world map and found those places just yesterday :mjlol:

That's why I call what he does "harmonizing" as opposed to "singing", lol, he can't sing a lick. Somebody in here just described it best, he sounds like me trying to sing in the shower...but "Passionfruit"..."Hold on, we're going home"..."Hotline Bling", etc... are still some of my most played, most loved joints ever despite his non-existent singing skills.

On these songs tho he's barely doing any decent effort of harmonizing tho. Lol

Y’all are really delusional to be honest. 808s & Heartbreaks is actually innovative and sounds sonically like nothing before it. The Drake project is literally rehashing a sound that was popular a decade ago, and y’all are trying to say that that is revolutionary?. It is also doing that while sounding worse than the worst of that era

808s as in his most experimental project that’s getting trashed.

I worked in the industry lol ppl follow Drake when it comes to everything.

& It’s really not a bad album, I just wish it was a More Life approach and he had Jorja, or other international singers in that house-esque blend sound.

Some of you ppl just want boom baps & redundant raps.

If Kanye made this y'all would be weeping tears of joy claiming the sound of music has yet again been revolutionized

Lol Kanye dropped a singing album in the 2000's and it's considered his worst album from that decade. Still better than this though.

I'm not against Drake singing btw, he's done some singing stuff in the past I liked. But the singing on here just ain't it

808s was a hit out of the gate and vaunted by critics when it came out. Now that is actually one where just rap bloggers were upset about it. The Drake, on the other hand, is being panned by critics, and the numbers are not even great. It is about to open up lower than his 2020 mixtape. No, the two are not similar. Yes, people usually follow Drake because he puts out HITS. This album is shaping up to have none going by the early numbers? When this tanks, do you honestly believe that people are going to be running to recreate this? What is probably going to happen, though, is going to be Drake rushing to put out another collaboration with Future, given how well the Future album is performing and how big the Future and Tems song with the throwaway Drake verse on it is. What is really hilarious is how y'all are trying to act as if a Drake album that is filled with Swedish House Mafia/Usher rejects from 2012 is the height of sophistication. In addition, when has Drake ever been known as a hardcore rapper when he became famous with this song?



In what universe is anyone expecting "boom baps and redundant raps" from a guys such as Drake? However, it would not be unreasonable to expect that from a man whose stans get upset when people refuse to say that he is a great rapper. Some of y'all just want terrible vocals + Tik Tok production
