If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Drake just dropped another album.

"it's so hot in here" truthers can

worse still are "badass" truthers

Sold over 500,000 its first week.

hate this thread title. every time i read it, i think of drake crouched over the bowl, struggling to drop another.

didn't he?

apparently

Carl Wilson

late to this, best of the year so far.

"i got niggas who can never leave canada"

"my mom got me on google alerts"

"i got bitches asking me for the code for wifi"

"ex girl she the female version of me"

hahah this album is nuts.

"i can never let the streets down, haven't left the condo for a week now"

haha

"that was when ethan was pushing the subaru hatchback, i'm talking way before hashtags"

"i'm turning into a nigga who thinks about money and women like 24/7 that's where my life too me thats just how shit happened to go"

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

ayo ethan p

This is a mixtape with 5-6 songs that are head and shoulders above the rest (ranking with album cuts)

But overall it's a solid enough mixtape that isn't on par with his previous album

I think it's easily the best thing he's ever done.

easily

I've decided this album is only good for memes

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

I pretty much only like hard Drake.

"I pretty much only like hard Drake."

opposite. "lust for life," "marvins room" and "the motion" are his holy trinity.

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.

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.

ugh "The Motion" one of those soundcloud turds

noooooo no no

even in the anemic greyscale spectrum that is the drake catalog "the motion" is up there with "headlines" as one of the blandest bags of dreck he's made

No Tellin' is one of the best on the mixtape but Legend/Madonna are def my favorites along with Jungle. Madonna is one of the most overtly sinister things in his catalogue and the fact the same Ginuwine sample from Legend is here really seals the deal. Emphasis on 'overtly' too since he has something like Shot For Me where he is straight-up being emotionally manipulative (through clever pacing in its lyrics and the vocal delivery). And I mean, I was convinced at one point that he didn't seem so bad by the time the song ended (and the plethora of "oh he's such a sweetheart"-esque comments for the song on youtube et al seem to prove I wasn't alone in that).

Jungle sums up the entire mixtape perfectly (iirc 6PM in New York is a bonus track). Drake's entire career is built on convincing people to like him (for various reasons) and the lyrics on that song really get to me. "that's cutting all into my time" eventually turns into "are we still good?". "the things I can’t change are the reasons you love me"... heartfelt? proof he's unwilling to actually try in changing his behaviors? both? I've always liked Drake because he often forces me to think about my own actions and I've only come to realize that I'm also a huge self-centered, critical, ego-driven hypocrite who just wants to love/be loved and feel accepted. It's why the ambiguity of the "I know exactly who you could be" line in Hold On, We're Going Home really makes the song for me or why Headlines is tolerable with all things considered.

@misterjoshua it's been said that drake manages to make ugly moments somehow romantic. "marvins room" is probably the epitome of that.

this was a little over the top but still enjoyed reading it http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/865-op-ed-im-breaking-up-with-drake/

yeah that was great

I was just thinking about how "Last name ever, first name greatest" is one of the worst famous hip-hop punchlines of all time.

that article is sub-blog content

All I wanted is a picture of that Take Care tattoo

smugness is a bad look, and I'm sorry, but some people have been saying this about drake for a long time

a Toronto rapper has been playing snippets of unreleased Drake songs he's threatening to leak, and one of them features Drake singing Nico's "These Days," it's pretty horrible
