I'm not being an original here but ugh, massive cringe at the 'Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree' line.

I like this album a lot, but ultimately I'm probably filing this away in the Late Registration/Amnesiac/Neon Bible folder of really good, not-quite-great albums that don't do quite enough to distinguish themselves from their predecessors so they can't quite escape the shadow of the album that came before them

Had this on while doing work this morning, and only got to a little passed "Hold On, We're Going Home," so obviously it deserves and will soon get a much closer listening from me, but I was honestly finding it pretty dull. Don't know if the criticisms lodged against him (I believe the excellent Katherine St. Asaph piece was linked somewhere above, though I don't think that Alfred's response, which I'm naturally sympathetic with, was) are finally starting to sink in with me, or if this is just a sonically less interesting than the last two (impeccably sounding, at the very least) albums, but I'm not very anxious to give this more attention.

I kind of like "Hold On, We're Going Home" in spite of its Draking Problems. Not proud. Not ashamed.

i like this album way better than any of his others. his persona still grates, for me, but outside of him becoming a completely different person, this musically is a lot less frustrating to me than his earlier stuff

My view on Drake (and mainly, Take Care) is that he is from a completely different universe from mine, not one I want to be in, but one I feel compelled to peek in from time to time. However, NWTS's production bores me and it's one those cases where I wont patient enough to let it grow on me, I'll just go back to Lord Knows.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
the production on here is so much better & less gauche than on 'take care'
imo
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
I wish '5 am in Toronto' was on it, really. I like that song better than any on NWTS.

I keep thinking about how this song is about "no new n*ggas" and then new guy Drake takes it and makes "No New Friends."
― LinkedIn Beef (Eazy), Wednesday, 25 September 2013 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
ah yeah, i totally forgot about that song, it was good. that whole ranking was pretty bizarre imo, but then if i loved drake i guess i'd like more songs than just the small number of ones i do.

so good
For 212 of the last 222 weeks, at least one song by or featuring Drake has been in the top 10 of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop airplay charts – he has literally never left heavy rotation on rap radio once since becoming a star, a level of sustained market saturation that virtually no act has ever enjoyed in any major radio format ever.
holy shit

That's a very good review some dude.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 26 September 2013 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
thx
the funniest thing about that stat is it'd actually be 216 weeks if i'd counted "All of the Lights" since he's one of the million unbilled backup singers on that.

If Drake isn’t really much of a rapper and isn’t really much of a singer, one supposes he deserves some credit for fusing both skills together so inseperably – the way Kevin Smith can pad out his resume as “actor/director” when putting Silent Bob in his movies.

Y'all do know that this album is going to be considered a classic, right?

it feels way more like this is the New Jersey that confirms Take Care as Drake's consensus classic imo
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 26 September 2013 08:37 (eleven years ago) link
Well that's what you want to believe. This one is equally good and will be equally big.
― longneck, Thursday, 26 September 2013 09:59 (eleven years ago) link
that wouldn't make it a "classic"

i think most people on this thread HAVE seen ie listened to the grim thing
