I have to confess to not listening to much Drake (being more busy trying to find my teeth in the lake, or w/e), but I think this is a great song, and I also think it's really myopic and just a bad reading to see the lyrics as endorsing some kind of butthurt MRA POV about women. I mean, butthurt yes, but much more in a pathetic way that the song is self-aware about (although the speaker is not).

When he says "ever since I left the city" I picture him moving out to some near suburban attached development to save money, living in a clean but kind of sparely decorated apartment, a lot of blank white walls.

every time this thread gets bumped i'm a little scared that drake dropped another stupid album

i heard some really really good dancehall cover version of hotline bling on local radio last night, just caught the last 20 seconds or so, but i can't seem to find it online (it's pirate radio and they don't really keep playlists on their clunky website), there's an elephant man one but i don't think that was it

I enjoyed this article, most of the technical stuff is complete gibberish to me but somehow still a good read http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar12/articles/it-0312.htm

lol in that article - "In hip-hop, you must write your own raps. If someone else were to write them for you, you'd have no credibility whatsoever, and you'd be out of the window immediately"

rev that bella blair tune was great, thx, not the one i heard (now i do think it was maybe elephant man) but i dug it and had some good lines ("stiff like ply board")
― marcos, Thursday, 3 December 2015 18:37 (eight years ago) link
anyways re: the original most annoying thing is that radio cuts off the coda whenever they play it, only one station in town plays the whole thing, the instrumental coda is one of the best parts

I feel like dude's vocal tics have got more obnoxious since "Worst Behavior"
As in idg how "runningthroughthrSIXwithmyWOES" is a meme/quotable whatever
Also "Metro Boomin on production WOW"

I'm hearing a remix in my head where after each Drizzy "woes" a chorus of early-60s type girl singers chirp "oh NOES!"

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

'real friends' is better than drake's new song
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Sunday, 31 January 2016 00:27 (eight years ago) link
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

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
