Drake - Scorpion (Discussion Thread)

[Spades Of Aces]

Starting on B-Side. Drake seems like he’s more in his element here, relaxed yet very smooth.

The highs on this album are up there with iyrtitl.. nonstop, 8 0f 10, emotionless, blue tint, March 14 etc all amazing tracks he spitting his ads off

The lows are just generic drake tracks we all heard a million times like elevated and half the singing album

Loses point for letting j prince get in his ear and talk him out of a response, his flow is so sharp on this that he coulda possibly came out with the W last minute on some Ray Allen shyt, but he did manage to make push look like a hater

J Cole shyt was better

All I needed to hear, unpopular opinion but IYRTITL is his best album to me, so I’ll definitely check it out.

This nika Nap acting all excited like Drake revealed him as his secret son

 

[Cuban Pete]

honestly...A Side was amazing...but B Side is like...Goddamn. Who is touching this nikka?!?!

So, real question, what are y'all repping in the tents now, owls still or just scorpions now? Or both... An owlpion

how different does the album sound if Pusha doesn't put out adidon?

 

[SchoolboyC]

Side B was definitely more hit & miss than Side A to me. But the highs were definitely

Of the album overall after one listen I'd say my top 5 in no order is 8/10, Sandra's Rose, Jaded, After Dark & Emotionless. Like someone else said, if the album was condensed to maybe 15 tracks it might have an argument as one of his top 3 albums, but with 25 tracks, too much bullshyt to overlook.

It'll get the whip test tomorrow so we'll see how it holds up there

Just tell me which track Drake went at Pusha T. Not interested in listening to this album if there’s no response

He didn't go at him...he pretty much said..."You lucky I ain't diss you and ruin you...I make more money than you..." on every single song on the first half of the album...

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Finesse is the raw and regret theme song

 

[Citi Trends]

This is his most mature, listenable album. Good god. This man's catalog is impeccable. This is amazing.

 

[Nostalgic]

Pusha T dissed this nyga into fatherhood.

 

[Yinny]

He sounds the exact same over the B side/r&b tracks, he needs to find better artists to steal from a la Gabriel Garzon-Montano again.

The rapping side is good or whatever but it's nothing we haven't heard from Drake already. That shyt is getting stale. I'm making my way over to the B side in a bit, but it's just another Drake album so far. There's a few jabs at Push but I'm still waiting for the DISS record.

And it seems like these songs are pretty fresh, Jay had to have recorded that verse not even a week ago if he's referencing XXXtentacion's death
