This ain't it, Chief. It's a nice narrative but Drake's "art" is always ALWAYS inauthentic, You said it yourself, It's Drake making a Virgil album. This is Drake once again using his gift for seeing the pulse of culture and taking advantage of it to benefit only himself. Who is Drake? He's a nothing person, CULTURE VULTURE.

Musically it's nothing, It's hollow and you can craft a narrative around it based on Drake's image if you look at this album in a bubble. I'm not surprised by this album at all, It's not as SHOCKING as people make it out to be.
I think it's an issue of the art audience views the artist as a constant, It's why so many artists try to remake and fail by trying to fit the image of their past self instead of remaining fluid.

Drake is an excellent business man, an excellent showman, an excellent performer but he is not an artist, as an artist is a vessel for creation akin to the womb

Nothing but facts

I liked the album

One of the worst albums released this year. Awful awful trash.

Worst thread of the year contender

It was fun running off with like 100 drake jokes though but the music is good

Nah nigga, give me the award now, I don't contend

album for fellas that push narratives

OP came up with "Dishonestly, Assured" and decided he needed to write a thread around it

Corny nerd had to hop on the alt for this trash thread

There are barely any countries on earth rn where it’s an acceptable time to post a thread as completely garbage as this one

People called jay z a future vulture and now he’s top 3
Disclaimer: I’m not saying the drake album is good

is this fwt?

you just couldn't stay away huh

Agreed actually

damn this thread is sad

what in the world is this ?

Op is simple

Actually I watched a review declaring this album a "work of art" and describing this as a great artistic achievement for Drake.
That name is the last thing I came up with to make the title provocative

So @Icaphxxxx , since you got all the answers, what does Drake have to do in order to create something ''authentic''?
