That guy deserves his own thread, obv

"Would You Like A Tour?" is one of the best tour names I've ever heard.

I finally listened to this album and it turns out I like it quite a bit and I'm going to jump off a cliff now because I can't live with this.

That was me with Take Care in '11, back when I really, really hated dude.

But yeah, I think this is a good album, and it's worn really well, so it's been a treat revisiting it this fall

i still don't think this is anywhere near as good as 'take care' and when people say it's better i kind of wretch

but it has aged pretty well

still feel like leaving new york city i m m e d i a t e l y anytime i see people dancing to "worst behavior" though

ha that's prob my favorite song on the album MUHFUCKA NEVER LOVED US

this is def his best album imo.

Really enjoyed 0 to 100/ The Catch Up I'm starting to think that if I compiled every non album Drake track, it would be a better album than what he released yet.

this is def his best album imo.

otm

yeah, it was how much I was enjoying "0 to 100" that inspired me to finally give NWTS a chance after what a terrible slog Take Care was

dont get me wrong it still pains me to admit i liked a drake album

These are both really good

yep

"6 god" is terrible, boi 1da is such an immense hack

"how about now" is good but feels like a recently unfrozen "'take care' outtake

"heat of the moment" is the best one i think

"6 God" is stupid but at least a chance of pace from all the plinky Vinylz/Boi 1da productions of late (Believe Me, The Language, Grindin...at least 0-100 is good)

"6 God" beat is awesome

I'm generally digging Boi 1da's shtick. All his tracks are so locked in; I admire how they manage to hold my attention while doing so little.

6 god sounds like it was written by king l

the way he locks into that repeated flow pattern and that line about swishers esp

You really don't feel The Language or 0-100?

"0-100" is great, who knows how much he had to do with that though

there have been good boi 1da beats but for every dope track there's 5 of the most drab beats around

6 god is awesome

man this guy is getting radio play off any random ass soundcloud joint, this is just getting crazy

Chart News
‏@chartnews
Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay: #45 How About Now, @Drake (debut).

meanwhile even established stars like rick ross and future have albums that die on the vine after one single cuz even the song with all the promo push behind it can barely get on radio

i think radio is playing this though, it was popping up on shazam across the country

no i have definitely heard "How Bout Now" on the radio

but yeah i mean "The Motion" and "0-100" charted just off Soundcloud and never got attached to any retail project (and "Trophies" and "Marvin's Room" and "All Me" started as just Soundcloud things that weren't really singles but ended up supporting albums).

I think it's really exciting. He doesn't make a big deal about it, but he's subverted the accepted mixtape model in favor of dropping this real-time breadcrumb trail of tracks on Soundcloud. Even his odds and ends experiments become singles; I don't know of any other artist with that cloud
