[antidope]

Maybe top 2 DOA

In my book he is. He's my second favourite artist ever and has a chance to be one.

 

[P C H]

There’s about 4 records I can do without

21/25

Great album

Key words “my second favorite artist”

Music is subjective , and he’s far from
The best rapper. Maybe a top 5 r and b singer though.

Considering your disdain for R&B it’s kind of surprising how much you like him tbh lol

Says who? Why he not the best rapper? Even that is subjective

Ironic how you use the word subjective but going at every pro drake post in here since the album dropped.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

I dont think there is another artist near drake right now. Miles ahead of his next competition.

 

[keko jones]

Havent heard the CD, but wanted to know if he responded to Pusha? He said it all would make sense when this album was drop and I wanted to know what he meant.

You got it bro.

Drake is the best R&B artist ever to me simple by the virtue that he makes R&B that I deem listenable

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I like that song lol

 

[nom de guerre]

I know a girl whose one goal was to visit Rome
Then she finally got to Rome
And all she did was post pictures for people at home
'Cause all that mattered was impressin' everybody she's known
I know another girl that's cryin' out for help
But her latest caption is "Leave me alone"
I know a girl happily married 'til she puts down her phone
I know a girl that saves pictures from places she's flown
To post later and make it look like she still on the go
Look at the way we live
I wasn't hidin' my kid from the world
I was hidin' the world from my kid
From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate
Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate
Breakin' news in my life, I don't run to the blogs
The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call
They always ask, "Why let the story run if it's false?"
You know a wise man once said nothin' at all
I'm exhausted and drained, I can't even pretend
All these people takin' miles when you give 'em an inch
All these followers but who gon' follow me to the end
I guess I'll make it to the end and I'ma find out then

Because the only thing Drake is king of is sales.

 

[whatscomplex]

You mean like all the people who claim Drake is the best rapper alive?

If people didn’t make these outlandish statements I wouldn’t do this lol

And to everyone saying what did you expect, he’s been making music like this for 9 years...

When people claim he’s the best doing it... I expect him to make something that actually sounds new.

Yeah yeah, we know.

 

[rbk93]

Seems like that's all it boils down to as far as mainstream/popular hip-hop.

 

[supersaiyangod]

I just don’t see what people are expecting from Drake. Dude has had the same content for 9 years now. There’s nothing else he can talk about. It’s like asking Pusha to not rap about crack. He can’t. This album is in line with what Drake does.

i needed about 5 more "emotionless" tracks like i needed 3 more "adam & eve" tracks from nas to be more than just "meh" about those projects

This is way better than GKMC

GKMC is trash anyway, ppl said it's hot because it was the first mainstream rap album to be "lyrical" from a newcomer in almost a decade. album is sloppy and all over the place, no organization, lack of cohesion, forced "concept," and both Section.80 and Overly Dedicated are more than 100x better than GKMC.

 

[CJ616]

i needed about 5 more "emotionless"

Pretty much how I'm feeling about the "Rap" side. Again with too much sing-along rap. Too much filler. This is why I can't take anyone seriously when they said he's the best "rapper". Dude is extremely capable with his wordplay, but decides to put out tracks like, God's Plan, I'm Upset, Elevate that I just feel like he can do way better.


But I get that isn't his MO and probably won't ever be again.

 

[antidope]

I disagree with that statement. And now we're at an impasse. So idk why you're doing this.

I guess if we look at it from his perspective, he has to cater to the ones that'll buy his albums the most.. and that def isn't the crowd that bumps "Emotionless" the most. It's the pop crowd that drives his stardom higher while he panders to "real rap heads" with jewels like "Emotionless" and the whole "AM/PM" series. He definitely has the ability to rap-rap-rap, I guess since a minority of his fans want that rap-rap-rap ish, he'll only sprinkle a minority of rap-rap-rap tracks on albums. We see it everyday, ppl talking about "Take Care" a classic... a rap classic? no way.. maybe to people who are strongly tuned into rnb mixed with pop.

It is what it is though, I aint complaining. I just go through each project and pick the songs I really enjoy, add em to my playlist. I know he aint making most of the songs for me or my type of audience.
