Part of the burden of bringing softness to hip-hop’s center is the perpetual urge to balance it with something rougher. That’s the phase Drake is in now: on top, defending his turf, while trying to keep his heart pure.

so, I haven't listened to much Drake before, but he seems to mention his relationship to a "city" in every other line. Is he talking about some place in Canada?

found this borderline unlistenable/parodic until it got to the more take-care sounding stuff near the end.

This is a mixtape with 5-6 songs that are head and shoulders above the rest (ranking with album cuts)
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 18 March 2015 13:40 (nine years ago) link
But overall it's a solid enough mixtape that isn't on par with his previous album

this is pretty close to unlistenable to me, as a whole. there are some great songs but there's only so much hard drake u can take in one sitting

Finally listened to this whole thing yesterday, I keep waiting for the guy to put out a project where I "get" it but idk, beats don't hit for me and all the shit talk about unspecified rappers is off-putting, just comes off as bitter and not particularly confident.
although, part of it is that while he's technically improved I still find his flow pretty rigid/his voice annoying, so maybe those kinda lyrics'd work if I thought he was a better rapper.
― nova, Sunday, 12 July 2015 21:35 (eight years ago) link
amp drake can be nice, but drake is all about glum drake. "lust for life," "marvins room" and "the motion" are the holy aubrey trinity. "no tellin'" is as close as he gets this time out.
― soyrev, Monday, 13 July 2015 03:21 (eight years ago) link
ugh "The Motion" one of those soundcloud turds
― some dude, Monday, 13 July 2015 04:35 (eight years ago) link
i mean i know that we all view askance rock covers of rap/r&b songs but to me this doesn't come with the usual baggage, he just goes for it. and i'm not really a fan of the original either but he and the band really pull it off imo, it's just really tight

don't really care which is better cuz i don't see myself choosing to listen to either but drake has seemed to hone in on a pretty repetitive sound whereas kanye's new stuff can at least surprise
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 31 January 2016 00:36 (eight years ago) link
ty dolla is better than drake but drake's new song is better than real friendsthis is a different aggro drake btw. He has finally absorbed the loose future flow, obv the endgame of wattba
