Drake - Honestly, Nevermind (Discussion Thread)

[Roid Jones]

Shameless.

Instead of multiple people getting inspired to try something different everybody trend chasing.

Never change, music industry.

It's going to be 2011 all over again when everyone jumped on the EDM wave

I respect someone changing their lane, if they decided to actually envelop themselves in the culture itself. I ain't seen dude in Chicago or Detriot, there were barely any collabs on the album too. Like do you care about what you put out, or you trying to release a vibe , or you trying to co-op culture, and say you are drastically changing the music. The culture been here.

Yep, hence why I've always respected Kanye's musical choices, he actually steeps himself in the culture of the sound he is trying to create, with Drake it comes across like cheap wave hopping, he may be a fan of Grime and Afrobeats but his projects don't reflect that.

How is this is nikka a WORSE singer than when he was younger??!? Its absurd!

You listen to songs like Find Your Love and most of So Far Gone and the dude could at least hold a tune. How you multi-millionaire and NOT hire a vocal coach?!?! WTF???!!?

That is the fault of the fans and industry, when standards are so low why should Drake seek improvement

This says a lot about the "culture" imo...tmwhen I see stuff like this it makes me feel like they never heard this kind of music before and they think its groundbreaking that Drake went this route. Album in below mid...could've and should've been better...

Drakes voice is too weak for a house project but I’m bumping it, it’s cool in the whip.

Yup and it becomes super evident on the hooks. I don't think this album is bad, I like multiple tracks and the production is good. I just feel like I'm more interested in the inevitable remixes because a lot of people are gonna make this shyt sound better. At times he hits the right melody and it works great, like Text Go Green or Sticky (which is a great record). Other times you get that flat hook like on Falling Back.

I think about what actual fans of a genre or wave think when a major artist decides to dabble in it. If you're a dance music fan on whatever the dance version of The Coli is, what do you think about flat drone-y singing over dope dance beats? What do they think about Drake stans who never heard a dance album in their life saying it's an amazing project that's "different." Do they think this is a great dance record, or one of the best dance records of the year? I doubt it.

Facts

 

[Piff Perkins]

Most offensive thing about the album is that Future isn't on Ties That Bind...

 

[Formerly known as...]

Drake should have hit up his fellow Canadian .

See now Kaytranada on the boards would have sounded much better

 

[Destined-2-Shine_HNIC]

Yall gon flame but go head. This is drakes “i used to love her” in album form.

Its a conversation between drake and hiphop. Once you make it past the oontz oontz and listen to the story that he is telling from track to track.

This is not a drake album about a chick that broke his heart even though its that on the surface.

But if the music is wack the music is wack. But it is something deeper here i think the majority of us are missing because of the oontz oontz.

I fukk with it.

I'm a big electronic head and basically dance several times a week.

This in its current iteration would get no spins at any function I frequent. It'll get played by low skill djs looking to ride the current wave but I dont fukk with that type of scene so

as a dance/house/electronic/alt...record its aggresively mediocre. Drake fans acting like you need taste to like this are also hilarious because its so ironic.

drone singing over dance beats isn't some new shyt. Usually called darkwave/synth, ebm, synthpop etc







INB4 I'm a cac for posting this btw. I'll be taking ban bets if you want to take that path

I gave this a listen again, sorry brehs but the production on this album is top notch… black coffee produced a few cuts too.. this album gonna do numbers
