🦉The Official Drake Thread6️⃣ - Scary Hours 3 11.17.23

[wavycrocket]

i think it's pretty obvious.

Before Drake blew, rappers in Toronto felt like you had to have sound American to get noticed.


TBH a lot of Canadians looked down on artists with there legit Canadian accents, becuase of canadian content rules on radio, it was like "oh you only on the radio cause they have to play you."


you can tell in all Drakes early stuff he's rocking this vague unspecific region fake American accent. and over time he's actually sounds like a Toronto dude again.



Overtime he's made Americans more comfortable with jamican/toronto vibes and now he's a big enough artist to go full bore with it. but the carribean vibes been in there from jump look at the Find Your Love video,.

Obvious as hell . I don't even know what ***** were arguing about in here. Peeped the last few pages....it was a mess.

I think the album is cool. I won't actively look to play it in its entirety.....but if it comes on again, I'll let it rock. Really dig the 80s pop sounds, and 90s night at the Roxbury type joints on this album. It's a vibe

***** jacked the hell outta 21 Savage's flow on that one song though. Even tried to sound like him .

I'm not mad at all at Drake infusing different GLOBAL genres in hip hop. Hip hop is global now. From a US perspective....Drake is an international artist...and his music represents that lately.

I mean that Madiba joint (FLAMES ) is clearly an Afro-beat, South African type song. I don't consider that wave riding....I consider that opening up our ears to different sounds. I'm not a fan of U.K. Rapping....but I get why he's doing it. I see the play.

The accent thing is funny to me though. Like dude really did turn up the Canada x 100 . I can't take any more "ya knows". **** is cringy. Canada ***** be on a different type of time. Man dem man dem

Never been to Toronto so i dunno if that all true

I go to New York not every dude run around trying to sound west Indian if their not. Lot of Puerto Ricans in NY don't see everyone jamming Daddy Yankee

I mean he's not Caribbean at all right?

They have arab cats in Canada and the UK talmbout Wa Gwan. It's transcended that local culture and merged with the natural order.

Be an icon in 2 years? Didn't y'all say this 3 years ago? Sounds like he's 2 years away from being 6 years away. May as well wear purple and yellow.

The disrespect to the goat organization comparing us to thug smh

 

[degenerate423]

My mans Mamba twisting himself in knots to argue a point that so inconsequential

To be honest, I don't even know what he has a problem with. That he made Once Dance and Controlla?

He said Young Thug saved this from being Views 2.0, he's clearly confused on many levels.

 

[danger style]

undertaker with the tattoos

After running this joint back Like 2-3 more times this is definitely the one. Great album. Has them tracks that you can just feel.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

via twitter lol

Me when I heard Wayne's light flicker at the beginning of 4422 & then he didn't rap

 

[air jsarg]

Do not disturb got me like:

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I knew this had the potential to be his best work (to me) because off first listen I honestly didn't think anything was weak (to me)

Same.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

FREE SMOKE

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Same.

It's the same exact feeling I had off first listen of If You're Reading This

Once again, it goes back to this not being an official "album". I already knew he would have even more freedom to do whatever he wanted without worrying about the usual with doing a retail album

Feels like a complete snapshot of exactly where he's at in life the past 6 or however many months

Stop it man, what if Kobe saw you talking like this

He doesn't care about what Kobe thinks as long as Kobe lets him smoke his penis.

IYRTITL is Drake's best album

Only joint from Drake that I can consider a "classic"

Was one of his most raw, if not most raw projects. Felt organic af, it currently holds the #1 spot in his rankings in my book

 

[delete1234]

Do not disturb is better than all of IYRT alone. Y'all overrate the hell outta that tape he had a couple joints on there but no way that's better than NWTS and take care or even this playlist

it's just the way it is here man.

I didn't grow up here, but when I go play pick up ball, asians, persians, indians, all might shout "headtop" if they hit a jumper in your eye.



Drake also said walahi

same deal, a lot of Somali cats in toronto, walahi seeped into the local slang and lot's of people say it now.

It's all opinion 

To me it had much more than "a couple joints"

1-5 alone is one his craziest openings to any project

 

[osh kosh bosh]

IYRTITL has too many trapper drake bars for me.

 

[MVP]

Kobe co-signed Taylor Swift. Hoops strictly. 

He doesn't care about what Kobe thinks as long as Kobe lets him smoke his penis.

What the ****?

 

[All Ready]

IYRTITL is Drake's best album

feel the same too

his other albums are super average in comparison to the loose songs he makes and songs he does with others

his albums have no replay value

It was good man, took me a while to finally appreciate it but still no way it's on top of the list
