Find me some other rap reviews from this year where the reviewer is critiquing the artist as a person cause I didn't read any

Besides some Tory reviews lol

Tbh he was though, like Take Care, So Far Gone, etc were all fairly relatable but I feel he's in the position now where he doesn't really have anything substantial to rap about.

Jesus is King review by Anthony Fantano was mostly Fantano saying that he was crazy and basically critiquing how true he was to Christianity and his faith lol, picking apart a man’s faith more so than the music. That kind of thing has definitely been present in Kanye reviews since 2016

Most pitchfork reviews are guilty of this, it’s always been a critique that their reviews focus more on who an artist is than the actual music

But you also didn’t just say the “as a person” part, you said no one tells other artists what music to make either. That’s really the sillier part of your post but I see you’re not really doubling down on that one.

Still when an artist is as big as drake i don’t think it’s very uncommon

Also are some of you who can’t relating to drake music losers or something ? You gotta relate to some of the love based / relationship s***. Or even the loyalty / friendship / ambition content? 🤣

Father Time is your example loool. Drake got a bunch of songs and lyrics deep diving on family. Way more than Kendrick who just really opened up this album. We know drake whole family and all their issues and trauma through his music 😭

Y’all just like to feel superior listening to music and it’s so pretentious. Most of us can enjoy balance in music. Enjoy different pockets for what they are. Most of these super conscious artists are just selling that because they know the market . They don’t even sound profound in any way

Drake gave us a grandiose, braggy hip hop album which also had sprinklings of recent social issues (abortion rights, women’s rights), label politics, friendship, love, lust etc etc

I love this album

But accusing people of being losers for NOT liking this one is an interesting angle

Possibly but i can argue it’s the same realm as it’s always been but exploring new ways to talk about that realm. I mean songs like “pipe down” are the most relatable s*** for people even though its “familiar” territory

mature normally a dogwhistle for an album being boring idk why they force it so much here lol

I didn’t say anything about not liking the album. I was referring to people saying to not being able to relate to anything

Some of drake talk I see average people laughing and relating to because it’s just funny relatable s*** that happens day to day. “I know them type of hugs” a good example
