Why are these music critics turning on Drake now?

[Swagnicious]

Drake is a different type of artist

He's on the level of prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson

 

[Mr.Silver]

The only people I know in real life that DONT like Views are the ones who don't like nothin Drake does

Good thing you don't know everyone in the entire world then huh?

They all get panned by the critics but the streets don't lie.

His albums sell 1 mil plus first week. Kenrick will never do over 300k first week, ever. Plus CACs are getting tired of kendrick and those are the only people who buy his albums.

Like the Beatles

Good God


These posts got me dying.

Drake never got amazing reviews in the first place. Why are you surprised?

None amazing but 75, 78, 79, and 78 are a nice distance from 69. No matter what the minions say this album wasn't good

In a forum where @SirBiatch and @Poitier post regularly, to post something 10x worse than they've ever done takes some doing.

Bravo, breh.

Nah he's right. Someone who critiques albums for a living like someone who critiques movies isn't about to just give everything a 9 out of 10.

Metacritic is a literally an aggregate of every site, and pop albums are formulaic and never receive high remarks. A 69 actually equates to generally favorable reviews on there. They used to give Beyonce's old shyt that. It's only now that she's receiving universal acclaim.

If people awarded Grammys based on metacritic scores then no one would be complaining about the Grammys, and people would actually watch them because there would be suspense.

My point is what weight does a music critique opinion hold on music? I am responding to the idea that Music critiques are somehow shaping the narrative of how people feel about music. Isn't that what this thread is about?

Drake is Michael jackson level now?

 

[hex]

why people bring up sales when we discussing quality?

Because Drake stans are the masters of straw man argument.

The Coli said "Views" is weak as fukk. Low budget version of "Take Care". Weakest shyt in his entire discography.

First week sales drop, Drake stans are in there talking about "The Coli is out of touch, they said it wouldn't sell". Who in their right fukking mind thought this pop ass album wouldn't sell?

Fred.

 

[bordeaux]

b/c as much as yall like to throw around the label 'stan' no one is above criticism. its possible to be a fan of an artist and recognize they dropped a lackluster project. that score is possibly a bit higher than id give it.

 

[A.V.]

compared to Kendrick

Because the critics all heard my new record and know it's a wrap for The Boy.


That tide about to turn and real nikkas & substance bout to come back to the forefront of this mainstream shyt like it's 98 again

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

because the album is a major letdown compared to his first 3

 

[SirBiatch]

FOH cac with your shyt opinion.

I'm Black. Verified

Ask my stalkers

 

[SirBiatch]

Be a contradictory insecure Duckie and hate on spinoza's "Drake is like MJ, Prince" comment while saying the same stupid shyt for K Dot Minaj who doesn't influence culture, is substandard as fukk and doesn't move units in comparison
