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
― Evan R, Friday, 10 October 2014 21:22 (nine years ago) link
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

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.

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

"6 god" is terrible, boi 1da is such an immense hack
― J0rdan S., Monday, 27 October 2014 17:56 (nine years ago) link
"how about now" is good but feels like a recently unfrozen "'take care' outtake
"heat of the moment" is the best one i think
― J0rdan S., Monday, 27 October 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
"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)
― some dude, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:00 (nine years ago) link
"6 God" beat is awesome
― I Love Makonnen: New Answers (The Reverend), Monday, 27 October 2014 20:19 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Evan R, Monday, 27 October 2014 20:31 (nine years ago) link
6 god sounds like it was written by king l
― deej loaf (D-40), Monday, 27 October 2014 20:53 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Evan R, Monday, 27 October 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
"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
― johnny crunch, Friday, 31 October 2014 21:29 (nine years ago) link
man this guy is getting radio play off any random ass soundcloud joint, this is just getting crazy
Chart News@chartnewsBillboard 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
― J0rdan S., Monday, 3 November 2014 23:51 (nine years ago) link
i think radio is playing this though, it was popping up on shazam across the country
― deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 4 November 2014 00:10 (nine years ago) link
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).
― some dude, Tuesday, 4 November 2014 00:13 (nine years ago) link
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
