Drake - Scorpion (Discussion Thread)

[Piff Perkins]

After Dark is a perfect explanation for why the second disc is bad. The difference in quality hearing someone who can actually sing (Ty) on the track in juxtaposition to Drake is jarring as fukk.

From the description, the is actually the original concept of views.
I heard long ago that Views was the R&B side, from the 6 was supposed to be the rap side.
I guess he did it.

CD B was such a chore to get through. CD A is aiight. Also I'm disappointed in the fact thi nikka did not use a Final fantasy sample for a track called "Final Fantasy
3 lines to enjoy
"I'm lightskin but I'm still a dar nikka"
"I didn't hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid"
"I know you're soft like buttercups..reese's"

Do you operate in real life? Once you find out the kid is yours you become a different person no matter the events that led up to it

Drake’s reality is more common that married and planning to have kids

sound like ducktales cause just 6 months ago she was posting on Twitter that he was a deadbeat dad and it came out he wanted her to get an abortion.

First disc is his best "rap" album based on a day's worth of riding to it.... usually can only find a couple of joints to throw in roto.. that whole thing go

First impressions: The 1st disc is solid. From a "rapping+trap anthems" perspective I wouldn't say it holds up to IYRTITL or NWTS. If anything it feels kind of derivative, like I've heard this songs before, but better. Standouts...Emotionless and 8 outta 10 come to mind first. But the standout moment to me is Hov on Talk Up. That beat, the shyt talk...wow. Oh and daps to Premo for getting a major placement again. Beat is cool. Shame there's no scratches. The outro track is dope too.

2nd disc is largely a disaster. Very same-y "melody" and crooning, very lacking in terms of noteworthy hooks. And some straight up bad songs. Like I said earlier, Ty$'s appearance really puts shyt in perspective. I thought the Michael Jackson track was terrible as well. Reminds me of Eminem's b*stardization of Pac vocals. You can hear the vocal distortion, the attempt to make it fit the track. No. No. No.

And then the album ends with March 14th. A track that could have been a victory lap...if not for Pusha. Sorry, I can't dap a man who admits to not seeing his kid since October. I can't dap the "I'm a good guy" angle that weaves in and out of the album due to that.

Funny u say this i find it the opposite 2nd disc much better than first which sounds like it was recorded quickly
