NFT: New Drake album just released

BigBlue4You09 : 6/29/2018 12:27 am
A side, B side, 25 tracks, 90 minutes featuring Jay-Z and Michael Jackson. Yes Michael Jackson

Skimming through so far I like it but will have to give it a few listens to form an official opinion. I will say it’s a must better first impression than Kanye’s last “album”.
Loved the beat on the second track...  
Bchurch : 6/29/2018 1:19 am : link
Only featered guests on 3 out of 25 tracks, gotta respect that.

I can't compare to Kanye's 7 track album. His recent projects seem to be taking a different approach to a "album". Hard for me to compare.

It’s probably just me  
superspynyg : 6/29/2018 9:26 am : link
But all his songs sound the same. Especially the way he sings.

Yawn, those labels are so played out and boring. While I’m not the hugest fan I can recognize talent. In an age where mainstream rap sucks for the most part I’ll take a solid effort from him anytime.
I heard that Chance

is doing an album with Gambino. That’s a collaboration I look forward to. Everything else has been pretty lame.

Sounds like a Drake fan alright!

Wheelchair Jimmy will never recover from the ether he got from Pusha.

2 grown men rap battling against each other. It was fun in the 90's before the internet and cell phones, but its pretty fucking stupid now, not to mention incredibly forced and artificial.

I'll sign up for Drake's life over Pusha T's any day of the week.

It’s only irrelevant if you take this rap battles seriously. They are corny as fuck.

arcarsenal : 6/29/2018 2:02 pm : link
I'm not really sure what constitutes taking a rap battle "seriously" - I just thought it was funny to see Wheelchair Jimmy get clowned.

Speaking of corny as fuck... "Champagne Papi" fits the bill pretty well, I'd say.

It's rap for teenagers.

Seriously, "oh man rap beef let's take sides like we know!". Cool if you are 15 and starting Twitter fights over it, that's about it. 99% of it is fake anyway.

Jon in NYC : 6/29/2018 2:15 pm : link
love a good rap battle.

This isn't like 90s Source Awards shit, but Pusha T outed Drakes hidden child he had with a stripper. That's pretty savage.

Horrendous name. Don’t understand how 1 grown man can call another grown man “Papi.” I cruelly like Pusha more than Drake, I just can’t get into the fake battles.

The kid in me will give props to Drakes Degrassi video. I thought it was pretty cool of him to do.

arcarsenal : 6/29/2018 2:27 pm : link
I usually think these rap battles are fake, contrived bullshit, but Pusha pretty much went for the throat (and probably crossed lines)

I'm just biased because I think Pusha is so much better musically and can't stand Drake.

But I'll stop being that guy posting on the thread of the thing he doesn't like because I give other people shit for that.. which makes me a hypocrite!

arcarsenal : 6/29/2018 2:29 pm : link
The other thing is that 90 minutes is fucking absurd. Who wants to sit down and listen to Drake (or really anyone) for an hour and a half straight? This isn't Pink Floyd.

But this isn't a Drake issue and more of a general issue. I just hate excessively long albums loaded with BS you have to skip around.

Give me a 30 minute record with no bullshit and I'm thrilled.

Kyle in NY : 6/29/2018 2:41 pm : link
But talk about repetitive, that guy has been rapping about the same thing for 20 years now. We get it, you sold drugs, alright.

And I don't think he comes out looking so good in that beef. Definitely think he crossed some lines in what was basically an unprovoked shot. Drake is as popular as it gets and has perfectly mastered the streaming era. So for a technically more talented, but much less popular rapper like Pusha, I can understand the envy. But I thought it was too much.
I don't think it can really be denied  
Kyle in NY : 6/29/2018 2:45 pm : link
what Drake has achieved. He's one of the few remaining musicians that captures the pop culture zeitgeist with each release. And his singles in between albums perfectly fit the spotify era.

Is he the most talented rapper? No. But does he make consistently enjoyable, interesting music? Sure does.

Drake is really good, haters will always exist. I personally don't like drake but I greatly respect his ability to slay beats and Thots

So Pusha is repetitive but, Drake isn’t?

Yeah, ok.

Lord Willin is one of my favorites, but you are correct, each album is Lord Willin redux about being a drug dealer. Even in the interview I heard with him the other week he literally says the he’s “blacker” than Drake because he sold dope. It gets old after a while.
Drake’s definitely repetive  
UConn4523 : 6/29/2018 3:01 pm : link
I don’t really like him either
And enough with this  
Hsilwek92 : 6/29/2018 3:05 pm : link
“Pusha went too far” bullshit. Drake’s been taking shots for a while now, subliminal and straight forward. If you’re going to swing at heavyweights, don’t expect them to pull punches. Basically what Jay-Z said during his and Nas’ beef.

How about zero songs instead? Man, they were fucking garbage.

He's literally already recovered. This album is going to post huge streaming numbers

I couldn't care less about Barker. Anything he did, was canceled out and maybe even a little bit more because of that twat-boy Tom Delonge. That guy and his voice was awful.

Even more so when he made that band Angles and Airwaves (lol, what a corny name) post Blink and he said their album was going to change the world"

Hahahahaha

Then again, I guess I can say that for most new age rappers. Guess I'll go back to listening to "No news is good news" by Phonte and the new NaS lp.
