Future and Metro getting fukked up on lean and working on auto pilot is EXACTLY what it sounds like...for better or worse. I find it harder to distinguish Future songs these days. On Pluto every song had it's own character. Metro and Future pumping out tracks at this rate suggests to me that there's not much thought behind it, but just a "get it while you're hot" mentality. Can't blame them I guess. Not really a sign of quality though. I Actually think his beats are becoming more monotone than Mustard beats. Atleast Mustard has outstanding melodies. It's not that it's bad, I just feel like I've heard this from Future and Metro 4 times already this year. Sucks because since 2011 I've associated Future with innovation and creativity. Many of his hooks used to have som thought behind them (turn on the lights, neva end), but now he's just repeating one word over and over again over (banging ) beats that completely lacks dynamics.

Jumpman straight up makes me feel dumber by the minute. Digital Dash was aight.

Diamonds Dancing was sonically epic

Big Rings is dope AF!!! from the beat to the flow and hook.

Tapes like this usually grow on me though so let me stop the hate.

Was gonna drop a thread but I'll just ask it hear.....

It's not that bad on The Coli but I swear Twitter and other message board cats are spewing this WATTBA > WTT rhetoric. Now I'll admit that WTT isn't Jay or Ye's best album in their catalog but I still can't put WATTBA over it.

What's The Coli's stance on this?

These Drake threads really help you point out the ppl you should put on ignore. I'm not talking that posters who go "6fraud" or "Drake too emotional, can't feel his music".
I'm talking about the "fukk Drake and whoever listen to him aint real hip hop fans/casuals" "Everything he has done is TRASH" "What a time is TOTAL trash". Those posters let me know that you already made your decision and are just a hater at this point. And your opinion isnt worth anything.

I'm actually willing to bet that there's a significant difference in intelligence between the people who thinks WATTBA is better versus the people who knows WTT is better.

WTT >WATTBA, both good though.

Kanye/Jay seemed more comfortable with each other. Played off each other more. They had a few times where they did the back and forth rap. Only track I skipped on WTT was Lift Off I think. If Future/Drake approached this like WTT was approached, then the comparisons would be good. But at this point its apples to oranges.

I mean no one thought this was going to be a cohesive project from jump street , we all got what most of us expected , cesspool of bangers thats going to keep the clubs fed for a couple of months . So ya need to stop judging the album from that perspective .

I put like 15 cats on ignore in this thread based on that silly shyt. Thread dropped from 55 pages to 32 after I refreshed, which just proves the Drake haters post more about him then the Drake lovers. Chumps gon chump I guess :heh:
