Not sure how you don't critique an artist when critiquing their albums. Whatever state of mind their in contributed to making the album
Eh itās a fine line
Let me stop engaging this nonsense and continue enjoying the music lol. Niggas reaching for angles. Like with every drake release
See if you got a sense of humour that s*** just hilarious. People really getting offended because they canāt relate or yāall playing? š
Lol humor. He says it every album on at least 6 songs
Almost like he went pop
Yeah but he was never on no conscious s*** in the first place so that line never made sense
Shiiit let me know when you come across one man
I havenāt seen a rap review that actually examined the music in years
Idk man to me itās simple asf, if Iām reviewing a rap album Iām asking myself: are these flows hard? Are these bars hard? Is this production fire? Is the execution of everything such as recording mixing sequencing etc on point? Does the overall theme and vibe of the project feel special? Is there minimal filler?
Her Loss checks all them boxes. Donāt see how you could give it a negative score UNLESS you worried about the wrong s*** like who Drake is OUTSIDE of his music, his level of maturity as a man, whose butt hurt over his disses, etc. All that s*** is weird asf for a āprofessionalā music pub to be writing about but what do I know
Ok let's keep it on Pitchfork. Check this one out (disregard the score, just text) and let me know if it's a review that would make you wanna check out the project, whether you're a Freddie fan or not.

Love Drake but he literally couldn't go conscious, his output ever since he said that proved it lol
Lol he turn conscious next album after screaming murder gang s***
Bruh this nigga dropped this then became a whole new person after

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 manās 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, itās always been a critique that their reviews focus more on who an artist is than the actual music
But you also didnāt just say the āas a personā part, you said no one tells other artists what music to make either. Thatās really the sillier part of your post but I see youāre not really doubling down on that one.
Still when an artist is as big as drake i donāt think itās very uncommon
Thatās how he reviewed JIK forreal?
I thought folks would blissfully inore the reviews instead I just found cope
Yeah but he was never on no conscious s*** in the first place so that line never made sense
Because he went pop ??????
It was never saying he was, it was saying he could of went down that path if he chose to but didn't.
Yeah I'm not hating bro, I just find I don't return to these new albums as much as I did with his prior ones. Music doesn't have to be relatable, but it's nice when the content is different from album to album.
Naw Iām not coming at you like you are hating . Just having a dialogue about the thought process. I can agree Kendrick for example has varied content in terms subject matter and itās distinct from project to project.
Let me stop engaging this nonsense and continue enjoying the music lol. Niggas reaching for angles. Like with every drake release
Yāall angle for this release is āthey finding another angle
ā Iāve seen this wording so many times now lol
Thereās no way a small minority could have any critiques on this album! They looking for angles to hate on papi!
Lol he turn conscious next album after screaming murder gang s***
Bruh this nigga dropped this then became a whole new person after
!https://youtu.be/jqo9gPxT6A8Snoop the greatest sell out ever, tf is that s***
But also progression is interesting because i care more about progress on a technical level and playful attempts at new flows and ways of engaging with the music sonically . I feel drake has been going upward in terms of that regard
Drake hasn't "gone pop" he had Let's Call It Off and Little Bit on SFG and Karaoke and Find Your Love on TML. He always knew who he was. The greatest
HER LOSS OUT NOW
i wake up every f***ing morning ready to inject this into my veins s*** is too good mane
Thatās how he reviewed JIK forreal?
Yeah Iām going off memory ofc but I remember feeling like in that review he crossed the line of focusing too much on Ye as a person. And thatās been common for Ye stuff for a minute so idk why people think itās only drake who gets that (drake Stan victim complex I suppose)
Yāall angle for this release is āthey finding another angle

You're a weirdo who I always see hating on Drake or stressed because he getting praise so I don't know why you're talking loool. Strange obsession.
Snoop the greatest sell out ever, tf is that s***
Lol what. Was on brand for him at that time especially with what was going on in the world then.
It's Drake that looks funny here.
I thought folks would blissfully inore the reviews instead I just found cope
Funny s*** is the review was never posted in here. I made sure not to even say which one I was reading lol. We're just talking about reviews in general.
Naw Iām not coming at you like you are hating . Just having a dialogue about the thought process. I can agree Kendrick for example has varied content in terms subject matter and itās distinct from project to project.
Yeah that's pretty much it, I'm not even asking for Drake to do the same lol, think it's good to have artists that just stick to what they know & he does that well.
Do wish we got more songs like Nice For What but is what it is.
i wake up every f***ing morning ready to inject this into my veins s*** is too good mane
Because he went pop ??????
It was never saying he was, it was saying he could of went down that path if he chose to but didn't.
"I would have all of your fans I didn't go pop and just STAYED on some conscious s***" he implying he was ever conscious there tho and I'm saying he wasn't, he just pulled that line out his ass for the diss
