Drake - Scorpion (Discussion Thread)

[NotAnFBIagent]

He definitely could've cut a lot of the filler off here
B side got some of his worse songs of all time

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Reminds me of when Hotline Bling came out with "similarities" to Cha Cha by DRAM

 

[Tetris v2.0]

No it doesn’t

Culture 1(14 songs) outsold culture 2 (24 songs)

I have a thread debunking this nonsense

It's not just about album sales though

If he has 25 songs all streaming a couple million, that's a win

I hopped in my wife's car today and even she got the album. And this is someone who NEVER it's up on new music. Let alone rap.

Drake is a pop act breh

I’m annoyed he didn’t put Diplomatic Immunity on here.

This album suffers the same fate Views did, as people expected/want different from Drake, both coming hot off major beefs. I do see why people say if you cut a few songs on this it could be Drake’s classic.

Drake said before Take Care he will never make a full rap album

The only people that are saying these things are Hiphop Heads that are for some reason in desperate need to label something classic or trash

Because that’s how you make your legend. Yes having dope singles can put you in the book but a classic album that stands the rest of time elevates you and gives you a chapter in the book. That’s how the game has always been and it won’t change anytime soon.

I been having this disucssion with some of my boys off and on since yesterday. Some of us are drake fans some of us are fans of certain songs. But all of us agree to really go down in history he needs that album. Clearly his die hard fans don’t agree and that’s perfectly cool. The fact that he said making a classic is easy while inferring he just doesn’t want to let’s me know he and I see the game differently and his shyt just isn’t for me. Not going to hate on the man for it tho, clearly his fans are happy and that’s all that matters to him at the end of the day.

Most of the rap songs trash to me. That nikka flow repetitive as fukk on here

 

[LinusCaldwell]

In my feelings beat got a nikka two stepping

 

[revan]

I'm a big Drake fan, this album is really missing something to me. It doesn't particularly sound like he has anything to say or prove besides the whole baby thing.

I don't like the word uninspired so I won't use it.


At least he gave me nice for what.

 

[California Burrito]

Damn! He’s probably at 300-500 million on Spotify then

 

[Goodbye World]

The post was weak

I'm saying None of the people you brought up are the poster children of transparency in their music.
There are much better examples out there

Drake definitely isn't one of them

 

[ALonelyDad]

most of his best songs throughout his career are not on the albums

I agree, I actually would like to make a thread on that very topic when the hoopla dies down a little bit.
