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.

lmao
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.
― flopson, Thursday, 26 September 2013 03:20 (eleven years ago) link
Y'all do know that this album is going to be considered a classic, right?

cosigning the praise for some dude's review.
Love the idea of significance p**n.
― Tim F, Thursday, 26 September 2013 08:24 (eleven years ago) link
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"
― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 September 2013 10:27 (eleven years ago) link
We'll see.
― longneck, Thursday, 26 September 2013 10:48 (eleven years ago) link
i think most people on this thread HAVE seen ie listened to the grim thing
a classic exists only in the ears of the listener
― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 September 2013 11:04 (eleven years ago) link
Take Care had 7 big radio hits, all of which either were singles or sounded like obvious singles by the time it was released. NWTS has a couple big ones so far but I dunno, I don't hear the same kinda songs that are gonna keep it on the radio a year after the release date. Obv should never underestimate Drake's grip on the radio, I'm just saying I'll be surprised if this equals TC's success.
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 26 September 2013 12:11 (eleven years ago) link
sort of feel like drake fans' constant insistence on how "relevant" he is and how he embodies our times and how his albums are consensus-acknowledged "classics" is totally illustrative of shipz' line about significance porn
― lex pretend, Thursday, 26 September 2013 12:13 (eleven years ago) link
The Black Album is one of Drake's top 5 favorite albums, all he really learned from Jay-Z is how to act so important that people feel important just by listening to you. He has 3 albums and they're all Black Album style career recaps.
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 26 September 2013 12:24 (eleven years ago) link
ilm isn't about significance porn is it though, with all the weezy and kanye threads from the past five years
― 乒乓, Thursday, 26 September 2013 12:39 (eleven years ago) link
We got a lotta Drake threads too. I'm talking about the content of the music, not taking issue with people listening to and discussing hugely popular artists.
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Thursday, 26 September 2013 12:41 (eleven years ago) link

he's had two top ten singles off this album already

i mean, when i think of a contemporary new jersey i think of lady gaga, this is nowhere near as clumsy—it's a refinement of his pre-existing aesthetic

Idk. Ship is a great writer and all but he writes off one of the most distinct voices of his generation as basically a plagiarist who can't sing or rap but who has nonetheless dominated the charts for years now doing just that. It kinda feels as if some part of the puzzle is missing.
