🦉The Official Drake Thread6️⃣ - Scary Hours 3 11.17.23

I'm confused about why people hate this dude so much

i'm not one of those super fans ya'll talk about, but i do like some of his music

He has good songs but no great album. He’s corny asf and calculated.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

To me, he’s the only artist you gets a pass for everything he does or that’s exposed about him and his fans still claim he’s the greatest.

If J. Cole was wearing Black Face, he wouldn’t get a pass
If Kendrick had a ghost writer, he wouldn’t get a pass.
If Kendrick, Cole, Jigga, whoever took an L as big as the one Drake took From Pusha, they wouldn’t get a pass...

And then on top of it, they have this holier than thou attitude about how Drake is the best and Pusha T is boring and Kendrick’s overrated and so on and so forth.

It honestly reminds me of the way people talked about Wayne in 2009-2010.

Kanye just released 5 albums that all charted and his shoes sell out every time after endorsing a racist. Drake ain’t the only one getting a pass.

In my Feelings needs the single treatment.

In my Feelings needs the single treatment.

I don't see how it doesn't. Only other song I could see getting it next is After Dark.

Man this heartbreaking... RIP Smoke Dawg.

So let's say in Drake's heart he released a double album full of throwaways, am I silly in purchasing it?

 

[rbk93]

Probably should've examined the site before making the post...

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

Or maybe there’s people who’ve been rocking with him since degrassi/CS and simply don’t like this because it sounds like a bunch of throwaways.

No middle ground. You’re either riding or a hater. Subjectivity is dead apparently.

You’re not a super fan but definitely above average. You’re name is heavy in this thread.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

lol wut ?

i only come in when new music drops

 

[cragmatic]

This dude can’t accept that people are fans and like the music it’s not that serious

Everything I’ve said obviously has gone over your head....

I even said I loved If Your Reading This and enjoy some of his music. I just think he’s far from the best out.

 

[degenerate423]

I thinthink he was trying to counter that by bringing up Jay and his recent weed plate album.

Can’t fairly judge music if you don’t listen to it.

Unless they have colorful dreads and look like they’re on drugs.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

My weed too good for this album. Rather use the top of a Jordan 1 box b

I'm Upset is starting to grow on me.

There are some Drake songs I enjoy. I loved IYRTITL, I’m just saying he’s far from the best rapper out, the Logic comparison isn’t really that far off in terms of corniness, and at the end of the day dude is a pop star.

When Drake stans act like this is the best album to release since Drakes last project and it’s not even top 20 projects of the past 18 months... it’s laughable.

But enjoy your 25 track album full of filler and tracks that have mediocre recycled lines, content, and sounds. Who am I to judge?

You are consistently presenting **** like it's fact, when it's really just your opinion this is comical.

OMG! It boggles my mind?! How can ANYONE THINK DRAKE IS SO GOOD AHHHHHHH

 

[Gordonson]

Mob Ties' hook has really grown on me, but I have little desire to hear any other part of the song. That's how I feel about a bunch of songs right now; catchy moments with a lot of nothing around them.

Overall though I'm happier with his raps on here than I have been on the last two projects.

 

[supersaiyangod]

we live in a world of validation and approval. ppl need to feel validated by others so they reach for justifications. i love da vinci's paintings and think he's the goat, my friend loves michelangelo, another one loves van gogh.. we explain what resonates to us to have a convo about why these artists are our goat. we aint going through days trying to discredit the others paintings.

when i was younger, i actually didnt like basquiat's stuff. they got deeper to me the older i got.. looked past some "superficial" aspects & felt something more in-depth.

 

[Master Zik]

Whether I am or not, once again at least all of Kanye’s albums sound sonically different and the content is different as well. Aside from CD and LR being a little similar everything since has sounded nothing like the project before it.

Drakes entire career literally sounds like the same 5 tracks recycled over and over again.

This isnt a fair comparison.

Every great rapper doesn't have a catalog of albums that sound "sonically different" from the last one. I'm not necessarily sure why thats even a high priority.

GFK didnt do that in his career and he has more classic albums than Kanye.

For two rappers who don't even write their own rhymes looking for these small little advantages they may have over each other is petty.

 

[cragmatic]

It’s a high priority because otherwise the same sound over and over again becomes stale and boring.

 

[whatscomplex]

Album is growing on me. Still a lot of skips but going back to it a lot.

 

[P C H]

Elevate is god-tier combo of melody and raps

 

[P C H]

Wanna thank God for working way harder than satan, he's playing favorites, it feels amazing...

 

[and1play5]
