worst Drake song on the radio this year

how exactly is this receiving any critical acclaim at all? how is it not being universally mocked?

<3 u lex

i definitely don't take critical reception as a gauge of whether i should be listening to something or not. quite the opposite in fact. most critics' taste sucks.

dude, you cannot turn on hot 97 on NYC without hearing drake, about 10x an hour. seriously. if you don't listen to the critics, do you at least give the radio plays some weight on your gauge?

i don't live in NYC? drake hasn't even had a top 40 hit here

i know you don't. but it's an indicator, especially if you aren't listening to the critics.

what i'm asking is, if you're not listening to the critics, and you're not paying attention to what is being played in the urban music capital of the world, then what are you basing on what you listen to, as a critic?

obvs we can't look at sales figures yet cause the album isn't out... maybe then you'll listen

GIVE DRAKE A CHANCE

that's all we're saying

non-new yorkers aren't really required to give one fuck about new york, just so you know

and lol at ny being the "urban music capital of the world" at any point after 50 cent blew up

the billboard chart isn't just NY

obv. if by "capitol", you mean the US, my bad, but that word does imply a city.

listen im just as stupefied at drake's success as much as anyone else. i find him completely atrocious and i cannot understand why the hip hop community has embraced him.

he bringin in that bieber fan money

for the record, uk urban radio is more nyc-centric than it is of anywhere else and drake gets as much exposure as anyone else (top 40 or no). whether that fact constitutes a relevance that demands attention here on the other hand...

it does.

noted urban music scholar cutty has spoken

re: lex not listening to the record?

critical responsibility of uk resident lex to listen to the record

there you go

The 2010 version of this is going to be epic.

did the first sequel over the summer: worst Drake song on the radio PART TWO

andy k on his blog compared (i think) drake's vocal tone to a game show buzzer. that about sums it up

leaning on a game show buzzer!

"Marvins Room" is a good contender for 2011.

ha i think this might be his first woozy sadsack R&B song that i actually kinda like. also i kinda doubt it'll be a radio hit, although that's probably wishful thinking.

ok i just got to the "i've had sex four times this week" part i retract my halfhearted defense

I just realized this guy sounds exactly like Craig David much of the time.

lol woah

Hmmm, interesting

dammit drake, stop associating yourself with people who don't suck

Best I Ever Had still his best song ever and he should have retired immediately after it
