I wrote this in the Kanye review thread and think this needs to be said here also.

Reviews mean nothing in the Long run. No list means anything either.
My parents and I’m pretty sure yours didn’t recommend music in your household based off List and Reviews or Grammies it was what they partied to ,vibed to ,made memories to ,lived life to and Made love to.

Not some magical publications list or awards.

All the Critically acclaimed albums of the past are dead and in the trash can of history.

Only the music that people listened to and lived and loved lasted test of time.

Imagine your parents handing you a Top ten Rolling Stones List as a kid

I’m not making love to a Kanye song bro

Thinking Q2 or Q3 2020

Stemming from a discussion in another thread I gave this some thought.

Boi1da/OZ and associated producers - 5 songs
as the rap cpre of the album, sample heavy. And then have 40 add to the beats here and there to tie them in with the rest of the album and help with the blend of rap and melody.

Jordan/party/85 1-2 songs each pop/pop rap and rnb with the odd rap verse thrown in

Have murda cook up a beat like nfw thats out of his comfort zone

Need 1 heavy piano track produced by 40 and dave that has drake and dave trading bars with some vocal samples added in

40/vinylz on a no guidance type of beat with a beat switch

Maybe one classic 40 beat and also tie sampha in with the production on a few joints

And then 1-2 producers he hasnt worked that bring new flows out of drake

Bring it down to 13-15 tracks. Drop an am/pm and a club banger produced by the likes of tay keith as promotion with both songs not making the album. Release the 85 or the jordan pop rap record as the sole single.

40 should mainly focus on adding to the tracks to create an overall cohesive soundscape with the odd outro/transition and synth in there and customize the beats here and there to bring out that prime drake again. Just work his genius

In terms of features keep it to a minimal.

Party (track like since way back), Dave (trading bars), Sampha

1 female artist on the hook in the mould of from time.

Party, Maj, Daniel, Ty$ on background vocals duty

Personally wouldn't mind another jay feature.

Also bring the mixing back to the nwts level especially in terms of the vocals and keep the tuning on the vocals more lowkey.

tl;dr - "got way too big of views, back to the basics I won't lose"

Let's see how much of this he'll stick with come the next project.

Tonight

Drake need to leave the booth like this after every track recorded

More billboard pop rap? I’m good

Tell your friends I’m not the villain

This is very funny AND true

how many times is this guy gonna release a sixth album? This is like his fourth attempt lol

Need more tropical vibes

Tomorrow

Is there any credible info this is actually coming soon? I figured next spring.

Nah just a speculation thread. Since he said he was in album mode .

Just know it'll be January in no time

Copy old op in

Got u

terrible OP terrible album

I like this he needs just blaze and Dj dahi track it sucks we never got that drake x jay electronica track and I think the cohesiveness is perfect 16 tracks

can you get me my pineapple emoji back

Knew I forgot something. Them 2 can definitely produce on there. Think I also forgot noel who probably had the best production on scorpion

Emojis arent being gifted yet We know that its possible now though with Halloween emojis

this album is really gonna make or break drakes career from here on. i feel like he’ll either be super passionate and go all in on the music, or move on to other areas that he dabbled in like with virginia black and top boy.
new artists are coming for his crown, post malone is probably the closest in his lane rn. he’s like drake, but more poppy and also gets the rednecks and nerds involved.
i feel like thats why drake has been gathering his old enemies around him this past year (meek, chris brown, etc). this year is the only year he hasnt dropped an album since 2014, and 2015 he went f***ing crazy with the beef WATTBA, and IYRTITL.
he might take the kanye beef to the next level, drop a hardcore hip hop album again, and drop WATTBA2 (we already know thats been in the works for a while). might be looking for a repeat of that year tbh
