really wish she went deeper as far as the Miami influence goes rather than just sorta touching it on the surface tho, that was one of the things that coulda had me excited if executed well but i feel none of it besides putting city girls and that hilarious kosher interlude on the album

carried this fr

twigs and charli and even some sza for good measure

not really…

I really like B.O.A.T

album cover, random fans skits, production is similar.

Every one thought she was ripping brat when it was caprisongs the whole time

My girl mixed call her vanilla caramelo

Only complaint is her voice. Wish it was more distinctive. Feels like Im listening to AI. But i really like the songs and beats

Chanel no. 5 instrumental only when

this preoccupation with accents is so weird to me. It’s like people really gatekeep sounds and influences.

being weirded out about a fake accent is not the same as gatekeeping a sound/influence lmao what

yes, it is, actually

Why are people so grated by it? I’ve never understood the knock. Tory Lanez literally does this.

no, it is not lol you can authentically utilize components/rhythms/patterns/melodic structures of other sounds/artists/etc. and respectfully pay homage or put your own spin on it, Drake is simply faking an accent and it’s been awful since he started

Tory is a weird rebuttal, his music sucks and it’s cringe when he does it too lol hope this helps

ok, so where didn’t drake utilize or pay homage?

See, you can’t answer this because you just dont like his voice, but again, what did drake do thats such a violation?

straight up copying other artist’s accents and sounds doesn’t equate to paying homage. again, hope this helps 👍🏾👍🏾

You said he didn’t pay homage or how drake wasn’t authentic.

This is Toronto s***, not some insular bland reception you’ve wrapped yourself in.

What accent did he copy without crediting and how do you show homage, properly?

acting like Drake hasn’t had a fire under his ass for being a culture vulture for nearly a decade craziness

That's wild

ape-ing UK drill artists and dancehall artists is Toronto s***? word, maybe you’re right if Drake is the one representing the city.

I don’t care if there are a lot of Jamaicans in Toronto, that’s not his accent, so it’s fake. dude doesn’t know how to be his authentic self and that’s why he doesn’t have community, which Kendrick is exposing him for now.

like he did some songs with NOLA bounce elements and that was cool because Big Freedia got credited. I don’t know how far out of his way he would go to actually give props to the artists he copied otherwise, but given he doesn’t do much press at all, I can’t imagine he’d ever explicitly thank or give credit to the people he’s copying, whether they’re dead or alive.

“insular bland reception,” wtf are you on about

BOAT is hard, best song on here tbh

Hot Uptown production is fantastic too

Who cares if it’s his accent? You said he has to pay sufficient homage. You moved the goalposts, so now he can’t use it at all? Pick an argument. His community IS Toronto, so does he need Jamaican relatives?

Whats the rules here?

you’re the one that mentioned paying homage, not me lol I’ve always stuck to my point, he’s a culture vulture with no real identity but you’re hung up on the homage thing for some reason as if that’s what my point is

YOU SAID HOMAGE FIRST.

What makes him a culture vulture?
