Drake sounding like an old uppity white bytch...those pan seared scallops are to die for
Enjoying great food and having a refined palette makes you sound like a white woman? Stop it.
Anyway, I listened again last night and still found it mediocre. Everything, including the production sounded extremely repetitive. We've been hearing Metro/Southside all year and this wasn't even good stuff. We've had 3 projects from Future and 1 from Drake. This project doesn't show any growth musically/sonically between the two of them. It sounds like Drake is riding Future's wave to remain relevant/credible and take off some of the sting that was left from the QM/Meek situation. He just ended up sounding out of place and one dimensional.
Future is just in a workaholic space and probably figured it couldn't hurt to do a joint tape with Drake to expand his brand even further. I don't think he was at his best here either. He sounded the most repetitive and redundant to the point where it took me 3 listens to get through a few of his verses because I would just turn off the song.
It could be just me, but my tolerance for the same shyt over and over is shot. Future and Metro together will always make me nod my head but I can't pass that off as a banger any longer. I'm not a zombie.

Does the sound existing mean you heard it?
I would say it doesn't. But, as I smoke and think about it.... I can hear Spanish and not hear what they saying. Not know what is going on. But I still heard it.
Imma keep thinking and get back to you... But good point.

Cliffs from Noisey review..
"The end result is 11 songs that sound like B-sides from DS2 with a healthy peppering of Drake verses thrown on top. The album leans more toward Future’s safe space, with his go-to producers Metro Boomin and Southside having produced a lion’s share of the tape; in contrast, frequent Drake collaborators 40 and Boi 1da only appear once each. Drake may have one of the most commercially successful releases of the year, but Future has the people’s hearts. For an artist as adaptable and paranoid of failure as Drake, a collaborative album seems like an assured path to being stress-free. Yet while combining his powers with Future may look like another page from Drake’s 48 Laws of Power playbook in his quest to conquer rap (and force Meek Mill into isolation), it fails in its method of having Drake suck the power out of a popular act to use it to his own ends. He was able to do it with Migos, Makonnen, and almost Fetty Wap, but his work with Future may mark the first non-win Drake has received in a long time."
Every time Drake reached out to another artist it was calculated, especially since more often than not, the scale was lopsided in his favor. But on What A Time To Be Alive, Drake may have miscalculated Future’s abilities: He was outmaneuvered and outperformed on every song they appeared on together, suggesting that maybe Drake was not the dominant force he claimed to be.
Deadly accurate

Exactly, if you hear a Spanish conversation and only understand a few words here or there, you still heard the entire conversation, if the conversation was recorded and you listened to it again, you'd only understand the limited Spanish words you know but you'd hear the entire conversation.
I got them rings... I GOT THEM RACKS LIKE SERENA!
One spends most of his everyday life with his girl, sharing a tour, etc. Drake mentions this one in one song. Who the one wifed up?
Man can you just let a lil piece of irony sit without trying to defend it?
The idea of being with a chick with more bread was a cause for laughter when talking about Meek, but now since Drake uses it as a badge of honor, you wanna minimize it?
As if he wasn't photo'd making out with Serena, as if he didn't fly all the way to England with a sweater tied around his neck, as if he wasn't just in NY messing us Serena's streak, etc.
Keep getting sensitive over a comment said in jest and try to play it off as him just "mentioning this one in one song".....he's wifed up too.

What's with these "titan" collabs coming out so lackluster? (I didn't really care for WTT either)
