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

[Ian1362]

Remixes in-bound

Already replaced 6god with this version

I'm not quite sure why but this seems like the saddest project this nikka ever dropped. It has this "I'm really tired but I gotta keep going" vibe to it. Not that I dislike it, 'cause I'm definitely enjoying a part of the tape. The way he approaches rap makes Drake one of the most adaptable artists in every/any genre, able to go outside of the status quo just due to his relatability and honesty on the records with little fear of embarrassment.

He's come along way, and grown more cynical but still grasps whatever positives/negatives that will maintain his fuel drive on F (or at least close to it on this album). He's really one of a kind.

The whole tape feels nice to listen to but to me only a few songs stand out. Either way I like the project and think it's a worthy contender in his hip-hop trajectory. Well done Aubrey

2nd full listen I like it more but this is half assed. Whats up with his production? Boi1da & T-minus fall off? Dude used to have the ill in house team now everything sounds like he getting these generic shyts off soundcloud. Reminds me of when 50 cent fell off using cheap production

 

[H. Selassie]

@the way this album bangz in the whip.

10 Bandz, Used To, Know Yourself, No Tellin, 6 Man

 

[loyola llothta]

I grew up using "Woe", knock it off..

dam woe, canadians Afrikaans running with the lingo now

 

[Ohene]

I take back what I said... There some piff on here

never heard drake talk bout the 6 til ovo linked these young cats here

jimmy johnson/prime x producer eric dingus
are like a young lo-fi trap version of drake x 40

it goes like this
drake x 40 kind of set that ambient dark sound as the sound of canadian/Toronto winters
you hear that shyt in this dudes music

but if drake influences a sound he's also influenced by the underground sounds emerging(like the weeknd/or majid jordan)
shyts like a feedback loop
this is one of the cats he's bouncing ideas off of
all that 6 side shyt started somewhere right*

 

[Ohene]

That mama track is ten out of ten

Yup, he was giving Jimmy credit when he first started calling it the 6. Him and Dingus produced Now & Forever. That Red Ferrari is serious

"They scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments"

Thought he said "wish for my accomplishments"

Lol...We had bytches pulling up at the gas station asking us to bluetooth them the new Drake...then we ended up chillin with em


Like I said...Its nothing more but good fun riding music to turn up to. I doubt this tape will hold up & have replay value in the coming weeks/months but It serves its purpose.

You wrong about thst last paragraph

The production is too strong and this shyt just puts you in a good mood

Plus you and the 6 Is just flawless

 

[Tug life]

Overall i think the tape is good but it has some certified bangers on there. I been listening to 10 bands non stop since yesterday. If you grind hard you can relate to that track and the beat in the whip or in some good headphones

The subliminals directed at A$AP Rocky on 6 God are just

Drake been throwing shots at him for the past two years and A$AP has not contested anything

"I'll admit it, I'll admit it, you haven't been the man for like a minute
I told you that I'm in it for the long haul you can really get the business..."

Rocky's last album Live.Love.ASAP dropped in January 2013 and he hasn't been buzzing since... which leads onto the next quote

"I'll admit, I'll admit it, you too worried 'bout the bytches
I got one girl, and she my girl, and nobody else can hit it...
And just like every single other thing in my life you can have her when I'm finished"

Rocky featuring Rihanna in the video for Fashion Killa after Drake had her on:

"Black Benz on the road boy
Already had a Rolls Royce
Sold a couple Bentley last week, them were my old toys"

"And I pop hoes, got a drop Rolls with a snot nose in my condo"



"Motherfukk a wishlist, my ghetto was ambition for my benjis and my Bentley, now I gets gets"

"I give a fukk about old boy
I give a fukk about his squad boy
I give a fukk about your mob boy
I'm the real 6ix God boy"

The line about being the "6ix God" (Trap God) was a shot at A$AP Ferg

Drake's subliminal game is on some late 90s/early 00s Hov steez
