:ehh: Pretty good dissection of current Drake and this album.

Would Drake allow himself to let someone else curate the direction of his album? Kanye isn't happening anymore. I'm enjoying the project, but as many have admitted, there's stuff that can be removed and it wouldn't impact the record.

In my feelings needs to be pushed as the next single, I'm wondering if they're going to do a radio edit because a lot of people aren't going to be familiar with that NO bounce style :russ: It will be interesting to see how they do the video as well :manny:

After having a few days to digest it, I think this is an OK album.

The production is absolutely insane, but drake doesn’t do half of the beats justice, his lack of substance is once again evident in his music, but in the songs he actually brings some substance are the best in here: emotionless, is there more, 8 out of 10, Sandra’s rose, and March 14th are the standout tracks IMO

Mob ties sounds like a gunna song:russ:

The needle drop is taking forever to drop the review for this :why:
I’m pretty sure he take a couple days for bigger projects. Especially after Tyler criticized him for reviewing cherry bomb the day after it came out ( even though that album was still trash).

Premature Evaluation: Drake 'Scorpion'

Drake: Scorpion Album Review | Pitchfork

"To hear Drake tell it, he can’t be bothered to keep their spat going because he’s just too satisfied. “Kiss my son on the forehead then kiss your ass goodbye,” he taunts. “As luck would have it, I’ve settled into my role as the good guy.”

Claiming the higher ground is a convenient way to elude the fact that Pusha had the last and most memorable word in their battle, but it doesn’t hold up under close inspection. On the odious “I’m Upset,” one of his worst songs ever, he sounds unenthused about the prospect of child support: “Can’t go 50-50 with no ho/Every month I’m supposed to pay her bills and get her what she want… My dad still got child support from 1991.” This from someone who’s settling into his role as the good guy?

My favorite track and seems to be the one people are gravitating to on social media.
