i know i'm just a weirdo who gets mad about drums but "Forever" is so so irritating, the way the chorus suddenly shifts to those awkward hi-hat triplets that totally clash with everything else in the song...like the producer was trying to show off but totally fucked it up and wasn't willing to admit it wasn't working.

i don't listen to this song enough for it to really bother me but yeah i know what you're talking about and it's awful.
i just watched the video and i thought it was pretty funny how during his verse when the beat drops they cut to footage of young lebron playing basketball. good idea in theory but it works out being like "swimming etc..." *CUT TO LEBRON*..."NEMO!" / "went to the club and balled...." *CUT TO LEBRON*..."CHEMO!"

the only reason "Forever" can't be the answer is because drake has a kinda akonish innocuousness to his hook. it's also one of the only verses from him i can really stomach because it isn't about his sex life
there has to be much more objectable crap up there

yeah...I like the rest of the Fab remix but Drake's verse is so ugh...especially when he starts the verse calling a woman "probably old enough to be my mama friend," then admits she has a son several years older than him...by the end you're like jesus dude admit it you're fucking a 70-year-old lady or something
― alship journey to papa (some dude), Thursday, 24 September 2009 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
also he does the thing where he stretches a word out at the end of the line and begings the next line kinda off-meter like five times in every single verse when it might be actually clever or unexpected if he only did it every once in a while

my problem with this song is my problem with tons of drake songs aside from "best i ever had" & it's that he tries and come off as like.. the thinking man's baller where he's dropping deep-thought truth bombs in his songs & he kinda just flails around. also his voice is super unpleasant in this song.

a few months ago he was saying his lead single was gonna be w/ The-Dream, I think maybe "Forever" doing well at radio bolstered his confidence to drop a big careerist crybaby anthem a la Kanye instead

"Roses" sounds like 80s synthpop. "Nothin' on You" sounds like contemporary soft rock. Not hearing the connection.
And it is totally harmless. Which is at least 50% of why I hate it.
― what it feels like for a goon (The Reverend), Thursday, 3 June 2010 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link
other 50% is Bruno Mars. in spirit of not wishing death on anyone, I'm hoping someone at least severs his tongue or crushes his larynx or something before he has a career.

i definitely don't take critical reception as a gauge of whether i should be listening to something or not. quite the opposite in fact. most critics' taste sucks.
dude, you cannot turn on hot 97 on NYC without hearing drake, about 10x an hour. seriously. if you don't listen to the critics, do you at least give the radio plays some weight on your gauge?

for the record, uk urban radio is more nyc-centric than it is of anywhere else and drake gets as much exposure as anyone else (top 40 or no). whether that fact constitutes a relevance that demands attention here on the other hand...
