Drake - If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

[SubZeroDegrees]

Boring album.

No wonder Baby changing focus to other rappers.

Wayne is done.
Drake is stale.
Nicki getting her back blown out by Meek Mill.

know what's up.

Gotta admit I am not feeling this at all and all the other drake albums were good to me. This one seems like throwaway tracks.

10 bands-trash. same flow every song. this dude on an intellectual level aint much better than lowest common denominator southern rap

I tried to tell people that Drake is only limited to certain flows.

Thugger's "Blanguage" is miles ahead of Drake's "the Language"

Thug can stay on one flow but it's pointless if you have unlimited flows at your disposal, that one flow shyt gets boring and repetitive. Drake, Wayne and Thug will be on a song together and we'll see who does the best.

my money is on Thugger

his freestyles are better than a lot of the written verses I've been hearing lately. the fact that he doesn't write is why he can't float between so many different flows and cadences with relative ease. writers get stuck to one or two flows for the entirety of their verse, and it comes off as being very premeditated. compare Drake's "The Language" vs. Thugger's "Blanguage". Drake was stuck using the same flow for the whole song only slightly dancing on the edge of the flow class, Thugger completely removes all walls ceilings and floors because he's not bound by any restrictions while freestyling.

mind you, I made this comment in April of 2014 and here we are in Feb of 2015 and seeing the same behavior from Drake.

these flows are mathematical, they cannot be fathered, only tapped into.

Pythagorus is credited as discovering the "pythagorean theorem" when it was used in Egypt long before he was born.

this is the REAL Black magic.

note how perfect the Migos adlibs are. perfectly cadent and adds the perfect amount of emphasis.

this is why Drake needed Migos to adlib his Versace verse, he doesn't have enough melanin to freestyle adlibs on the fly, if drake adlibbed the verse on his own, it would've felt too premeditated because although Drake is using the same Math as the Migos on Versace, he didn't let the Math flow through him, it was very calculated and also prewritten.

note how Drake spits perfect 18 syllable bars on his Versace verse, he understands the math, but it's not naturally flowing through him, he's simply studied and reproduced it, very accurately I might add.

"ver sa che ver sa che me du sa head on me like i'm lu ma na ti" = 18 syllables
"this is a ga ted ca mu na tee please get the fukk off the pro per ty= 18 syllables

look at how the math flows naturally through Dikembe Mutumbo, this is just more evidence of highly melanated people being able to effortlessly tap into sacred mathematics.






learn to activate your melanin brehs.

6 god-horrible.

1 good song so far just a horrible ratio

 

[Yinny]

LOVE it!

It def sounds like one long ass song, but I love Wednesday Night (should've been what Marvin's Room sounded like instead of him taking off his oxygen mask to inhale a cheeseburger), Company, Now and Forever, Used To...

my baby did good!

I will admit this doesn't register as something we needed, but he's still the rap-singer we deserve.

 

[Mike Otherz]

drake has surapssed jay as the most insecure rapper alive. dude is like insecure jay on steroids.

 

[Yinny]

oops

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

what line

I heard the lil’ lil’ homie talkin’ reckless in Vibe.
That’s quite the platform you chose, you should’ve kept it inside
Oh, you tried
It’s so childish callin’ my name on the world stage
You need to act your age and not your girl’s age.

 

[kevthesureshot]

the roots getting paid off this though?

literally just got to that point of the song

 

[Mike Otherz]

star67-production is good. melodys are good. subject matter is just stale. 3/5
