Drake - Scorpion (Discussion Thread)

[Izanami]

This makes no sense

Why would Drake take off songs that plenty of people enjoy so y’all can listen to an album and make proclamations about it?

My biggest gripes with the album is it could've been special if Drake did one disc or if he took a year or two off before dropping.

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Money, power, influnce, jealousy

Best so ever had video, Drake use of 808s,
Drake reign replacing Ye reign.

Y’all already forgot bout Watch The Throne??

Ye said he and Jay did it cuz they saw Drake comin.

Ye reign ended right when Drake took over. the joint album that never happened, Drake coming to Adidas, etc

And if Drake really knocked off Kim then damn

Thanks breh for the insight, but why would someone disclose such personal information about their son to that person? It doesn’t make sense

I don't believe the story that Drake told Kanye all that shyt, I can see Drake saying shyt in passing or maybe Drake was looking super skressed lol, then Kanye or whomever connected the dots

 

[Da King]

Just shows how BS billboard charts are now that they include streaming

I’m not sure how you are defining special. The album is great.

“nikkas wanna a classic that’s just 10 of these”

Drake on a Premo beat

He’s not trying to fit into you guys box of a special album.

That's not even true. NWTS and TC were very well received and had a blend. This shyt just average as fukk

I was told in this thread NWTS wasn’t well received.

Scorpion has been well received.

No it hasn't. It has been better received than his last 2 albums, but just because it's got a meme-hit doesn't mean people love the album.

Out of the 25 songs only like 5 are consistently mentioned as being very good.

I’ve seen mostly praise about Side A. Even on the coli.

Side B has been mixed but it’s a grower

I didn’t see where More Life got a bad reception either.

What a time this is
To be alive for this shyt
President doin us in

My window got blue on the tints

 

[Remote]

Album is trash.
2 beats I can fukk with. That’s it.

I like Drake on certain songs but good god he’s horrific lyrically.

But I’m a breh.
This ain’t my era.

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Finally listened.

Not trash.

Not great.

It's cool though

Drake obviously focuses on hit singles and sales rather than creating the best art.

He has it in him to do better but fukk it.

People gonna remember those hits in the long run.

 

[Trapperman Dave]

Almost to the last song and this album is average, got a few b side songs that are good to me, but I liked YE way better
