BRRRR BRRRR
"3AM on Glenwood" 21 glides so perfectly . maybe am hearin smth totally dif than others here but that one probably my fav at the moment
Bruh his flow and cadence is so wavy
Especially when he gets to this part:
āShe still fit that s*** in her gut somehow
The fat musta went in her butt somehow
I don't even ask her what's up
She sayin' that s*** is natural
Don't care if she makin' it upā
I fw that flow, hella hard
Small details like this donāt get enough appreciation these days
Letās have s***in the Nines (letās do it)
Breaking and bending her spine (letās do it, letās do it)
I hate a privileged rapper that aināt had a hit since he signed (letās do it)
Niggas be full of excuses act like they taking they time (fr, fr)

Yo his adlib game crazy this album

Real
It's top 5 for me
Drake's discography is so great that even his 10th best album is better than the best project of a lot of other rappers
"3AM on Glenwood" 21 glides so perfectly . maybe am hearin smth totally dif than others here but that one probably my fav at the moment
Top 3 beat on Her Loss, maybe even the best

Once i got passed the petroleum line i really f***ed with it
and it aināt inflated thru vinyl / cd loopholes

like the OTHER stephon
that fake colors video made me appreciate privileged rappers more
i wish the sample was a bit louder though. such a cool flip and you can't really hear it over the bass/vocals when its all going. same with spin bout you
spin bout you has the energy of drake's 2013-2014 features and loosies.
reminds me of DNF by p reign or days in the east or tuesday remix or PND recognise
Iām not a big sales person. On a scale from 1-10 and considering Drakeās past sales, how impressive is this?
Itās extremely impressive for a few reasons.
1) billboard changed how streams account for a āphysical saleā. The change scaled the numbers back tremendously across the board. Idk what the equivalent would be, but Iām guessing this type of first week pre 2020 would be more like 550-650K.
2) drake doesnāt do physicals (vinyls, cds, etc) so this makes the sales number even more impressive.
3) it shows drake is still very much the leader of the industry because of the consistency of streams.

I think 40 did a great job with that mix, one of the songs that stood out to me sonically
The way the sample is kinda distant and understated makes it doper imo
Glad they didnāt have the sample wailing all loud and in the way lol
Is there a reason you wouldnāt count songs like Fear, The Calm, Champagne Poetry, Too Much, The Remorse, The Ride, etc.? I think these are what people would consider his introspective songs but are you looking for something different?
songs like champagne poetry are some of his best rapping/skills wise and i guess are closer to being introspective/deeper then most of his discog but when i say introspective i mean s*** that comments on the culture/current issues/his personal struggles or fears.
kdot does it with songs like fear and mortal man, cole does it with songs like 4yeo and false prophets, erykah badu did it on songs like A:D 2000, and lauryn hill did it on most of her MTV unplugged album (biggest example being I Gotta Find Peace of Mind)
seems like drake doesn't have the ability to think that far outside himself or he pretends to do so for commercial success which makes it hard for me to consider him one of the goats even tho hes one of my most listened to
nearly all the goats in HH so far have been able to both make introspective music and commercial hits
he been making introspective music. he a***yzes his life quite often in his music. it just is very vapid.
vapid/surface level introspection isnt what im talkin about, i ruled that out in my og comment
It's all relative to the person's experience, I don't think Drake's introspective songs are any less impactful than those songs you mentioned
Everyone does their own thing and approach but quantifying one less than the other doesn't make sense
dont think drakes introspective songs are nearly as thought-provoking/interesting as his peers in the goat convo. id bet hes had personal experience and struggles that he could speak on in the same way as those artists did in the songs i mentioned, i just don't know if he has the songwriting ability to make them as interesting.
Bring on the problems
