"I pretty much only like hard Drake."

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

"Know Yourself" + "No Tellin'" is a good double-header.

I never hated Drake before but I'm starting to hate him now.

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

Garvey 😍

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

not to toot my own horn but i've posted a few unkind things about drake myself

i am totally fine with drake being an asshole while still enjoying his music

He's an asshole in a really annoying way

and that's a pretty big part of his attraction? villains can be fascinating too.

He's no more a villain than most other rappers in the way they attempt to present themselves, at least in a superficial sense.

his lameness is so tied up in his music tho in a way that usually only happens in fratty singer songwriter artists

I've surprised myself by rooting for Drizzy in this Meek beef.

there are no winners in this thing

Yeah I worked really hard to try to like Meek (before the beef), but can't really get into him even though in theory he should be something i like. His answer track was embarrassing, and he doubled down on the homophobia in the live freestyle

Is Drake the first case of a high-profile rapper, who is known mainly as a straightforward rapper (as opposed to a producer like Dr. Dre, mogul type like Diddy, or wildcard character like Eazy E or ODB), not only being accused of having a ghostwriter, but having that accusation more or less confirmed? Because the leaked Quentin Miller reference tracks for "RICO" and "Know Yourself", neither of which Miller is credited on, seem pretty definitive.

I don't follow hip-hop closely, but I get the sense there was a time when this would have been a big deal. But most people seem to be laughing at Meek Mill for even bringing it up, and Drake is getting patted on the back for changing the subject to how Meek's girlfriend is more famous than he is. So have times changed? Would people react differently if the target was someone other than Drake, or if it was someone other than Meek Mill bringing it up?

oh there are tons of rappers with confirmed verses written by other people. Run DMC had lyrics written by LL Cool J, Lil Kim had lyrics written by Biggie, Ma$e had lyrics written by Jay-Z. and that's just the tip of the iceberg of ones that are confirmed facts.

Big Daddy Kane wrote for Biz Markie and others

alright folks, assuming this is even legit, start arguing over it in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 http://putitallinaplasticbag.com/

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i was just listening to ds2 this morning thinking "why the fuck is drake on this album" and i'm not even really a drake hater

i like drake, i also totally understand for the most part why the people who don't like him don't

he's like, fine on "where ya at" but doesn't necessarily add anything to it. there are a few songs where they work well together imo, like "tony montana" and "we in this 1.5," so i'm curious what this would be like

still hoping this isn't actually real so I can get a fucking break from seeing Drake everywhere

tbh i like drake when he is the most like drake e.g. take care and not when he is trying to act like whoever he's collaborating w/ e.g. "where ya at"

yea im looking fwd to this

if u do not like drake, do not dl/listen to it, p easy

The man is truly an A+ trendhopper/swag-jacker

if u do not like drake, do not dl/listen to it, p easy

if you're listening to drake, it's already too late

i mean, in some ways definitely, but since they've collaborated multiple times before whatever this is i don't really think that's the case here xp

I usually only like Drake when he's swaggerjacking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if nothing else, site is fake per multiple reports
