so the only song i liked on this album after 2 listens were 'energy' and the song about his mama and daddy at the end i already forgot the name

on second listen i decided i didnt like the mama/daddy/family issues song. which left 'energy' as the last song flying the flag for this mix tape/album being even remotely worthwhile.

i have good news, 'energy' lasted 5 whole listens before it went in the bushes with the rest of the album. i think i figured out drakes flaw. its i dont believe his boasts. they come off homotional. usually when a rapper boast, you get the feeling of perseverance, of overcoming shyt, of celebrating. but with drake, its like he writes these songs after reading a negative comment about himself that got him in his feelings, or a girl said some shyt about him that affected his ideas of himself as a man, and it comes off insecure as fukk. and i dont want to relate to that.

that was always there even on nwts. but i think the musicality of that album saved him.


bring on the negs :blessed: ima speak my truth like martin luther king.:to:



meanwhile, 'blacker the berry' bout to get that 100th listen from me.:obama:

This hip-hop? Sounds weak. Sounds confused. Like some odd weeknd/Cole mash up sprinkled with a lil Ross and Wayne. :yeshrug:

Nothing memorable about the album at all. Lyrics, hooks, beats, nothing. It's boring. Drake's a shadow of his former self.:manny:

Haven't listen but if Drake really put out a "Mixtape/Album" of throwaway's to get off Cash Money then I give him nothing but props for this move. But that title is beyond terrible, lol.

Yeah this is a mixtape for real but I like it better than NWTS. Drake sounds hungry on this. The first project I enjoyed from him

On second listen today and...this is sounding much better. Not NWTS level, but it's damn good and has a few standouts:ehh:

VFT6 will be a classic :blessed:

Yesterday I thought there were none good enough to download, but Legend, 6man, now & forever are dope
