Drake x Future - What a Time To Be Alive (Discussion Thread)

[OfTheCross]

Listened to every song and overall it's nothing I'd add to my rotation, back to this Slime Season where there's no off putting moments where AAVE syntax is clearly used wrongly, for example, in Jumpman Drake says "them boys up to something they just not just bluffin", he could have alternatively said "them boys up to something no they not just bluffin" and maintained the syllable count and flow while also having syntactically correct AAVE.

This might be nitpicking but one of the things that draws me into trap and drill is the nuance and subtle complexities of AAVE, Drake does a good job in most cases of code switching but when he gets it wrong, it rubs me the wrong way.

Good analysis.

Only on the internet.

True. Irl we'd just say Drake sounds fake as fukk without being to articulate it as well as @Matt504 just did.

But it's definitely something that ppl pick up on when listening to lyrics

Deeply surprised at how trash this tape is. It's actually worse than IYRTITL.

Listened to this in full 5 times, including one full spin taking the long way to work. This shyt slaps. If you want to dislike it, go ahead, but Drizzy & Future fed us for the fall

I'm not saying Thug's tape is better but that Best Friend track on it is better then anything on this which is already background music for me while I'm working

How is this trash?

Wipe the nutt off your face.

Accept how basic and rushed this tape is.

Its like Drake went through Future's computer skimming through songs and was like "oh thats hot, lemme hop on that"

This likely happened

Some thoughts on this and how DS2 still aint been touched
