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

[jaydolf spitler]

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.

Nobody sensitive

Is it me, or does Diamonds Dancing remind anyone of a Clams Casino beat?

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

But I thought every song he is on sounds like Drake ft Drake?

Future ran laps around Drake.

This is spot on

 

[NerdNash]

All this is is a Future tape with special guest Drake.

Jumpman is fire
Diamonds dancing is fire
Jersey is fire
30 for 30 is fire
Digital dash fire
Live from the gutter is fire (even tho this is a rip off from young thug)

It's a good tape. Appreciate it for what it is. Just more music to ride to

"Just walked in with a girl who's making triple what im making what a entrance"

wish they made a version without Future on it i just don't see the hype listening to a guy you can't even understand

Im listening purely for new drake music

"Shout out to all my boss bytches wifing nikkas"....

 

[NerdNash]

I never understood people saying they can't understand Future.

Just fukking listen lol

 

[Dboy41]

I'm the furthest thing from a Drake fan but y'all are biased as hell.

No...future didn't outshine Drake on every song. You can make a point without exaggerating

I'm the plug
Jumpman
Change Locations


Clearly Drake outshines future in those

3 songs out of an entire album? Ok...

This album would have been better with Meek instead. Lets be real.

 

[jaydolf spitler]

But I thought every song he is on sounds like Drake ft Drake?

"That's why every song sounds like drake featuring drake" not "That's why every song I'm on sounds like drake featuring drake"

He referring to other artists in that song
