“ I got your president tweeting, I won’t even meet with him”

Trump tweeted about both Kanye and Jay the past year. Jay got the same results as Kanye without going to Trump Tower, sending his wife for photo ops and wearing a MAGA hat..


Simple but cold line...
Didn’t even make this connection :ohhh:

Good lyricism gets so overlooked sometimes...that first verse on elevate hanging onto that same rhyme scheme with the amoeba flow going in every direction was :banderas: all with it coming off low key and smooth. shyt sounded great, probably my favorite verse on the past 3 albums.

I dont feel like writing a whole review on my phone. The album as a whole is better than views and more life. Feels like there is so much content with close to no hard skips.

The rap side is pretty much the project I been wanting him to make for years. All rap sound with light singing flows are mixed in. Thats all he really need, it waves up his trackes while hiding his bad singing range. shyt like emotionless is that type of blend. And Is there more is that so far gone type songwriting

The rnb album is the project I dreaded he'd make. A dozen songs of the type of songs I always felt more miss than hit. The album is way better listened to on shuffle cause the music on side B is a chore to get through at once. It still got its gems, I actually fukk with the Mj jawn, sue me. :russ:

I gotta give him props tho he does a lot with his music that probably wont be appreciated till he's gone. Dude gives verifiable true content and stories in his music even if they can be cringey like Jaded. I couldnt care less about the shyt the stories are typically about (thots thotting) but its cool to see twitter detectives unraveling the references in his music. Dude is very personal with his music and takes chances on songs that rappers wont touch with a 10 foot pole (jaded, marvins room)

Beats were fire. Hella quoteables

Overall I got it 8.5 /10. easy 9+ without so many of the side b track's weighing it down.

Id def have it above views nwts and somewhere between closely edging out with ML and TML.

This would be drake's best album if this was the tracklist
  1. Survival
  2. Nonstop
  3. Elevate
  4. Emotionless
  5. 8 out of 10
  6. Mob ties
  7. Can't take a joke
  8. Sandra's rose
  9. Talk up
  10. Is there more
  11. Blue tint
  12. In my feelings
  13. After dark
  14. March 14

Spot on, though I'd add "That's How You Feel" in there too. What is it with this filler BS artists do? 15 would have been long enough if these were the songs :yeshrug:

In my feelings is the coldest song of the year...

I thought that shyt was garbage when I first heard it. Then we went out last night and they played that shyt :wow:

They must have run that shyt atleast 5 times last night. Each time the energy was live as fukk.

Instead, Jay brings up Trumps name in every single interview he does.

Side A is pretty flawless and it was done with a high degree of difficulty. Every song has a different flow.

The rapping on this project is better than Views. Redemption, Controlla, One Dance, Too good and Fire & Desire are better than the singing songs on here

I think I hold More Life I’m higher regard then a lot on here cause I think it’s perfectly sequences and every song is great
