May 21, 2021·edited·1 replyNot Around is a perfect example of Drake incorporating the new generations elements but still doing his own thing. Not Around beat sounds hella SoundCloud-y but it still has some dark and moody R&B/Pop elements Drake is known for (Hold On We're Going Home, Feel No Ways, Passionfruit, Now & Forever, etc) and Drake is still using his own flow.
This song is him just literally sounding like Lil Baby, Durk, etc on every level. Can maybe hear the classic Drake quotables but overall just doesn't sound like him. It doesn't sound bad at all it's just disappointing. I wish people didn't take that as hate. It's just constructive criticism coming from a fan of his since that nigga was in a wheel chair trynna get emo p****.

Slingshotdrake set the sound on scorpion by rapping over tay keith beats lol?
Don't twist my point up, he did that with Look Alive obviously and that's a part of that era

Wish I could enjoy this music
Too bad I live a meme ass life
Ur a mod on KTT 😂 other than Viet brah that means ur a bum
May 21, 2021Big Dogthey gonna hate on CLB like they did VIEWS but it is what it is
May 21, 2021·2 repliesthegreatdivineI've been focused on the DRUM PATTERNS. I have nothing with him using atmospheric soundscapes. The drum programming in his beats are lazy and repetitive and he's done them a lot better in the past, which is why I know it's lazy.
No one here has complained about the bars or the sample but him rapping over beats like that is dated and he can't continue to expect everyone to be impressed by that. We're in 2021.
He can do that s*** on a project like DLDT that he classifies as a throwaway or something he "just put together." But expectations for an album he's been working on for 3 years will be a lot higher and rightfully so.
What’s some examples of better drum patterns from Drake or other artists that have a current sound? I’m not asking this to be facetious or anything, just want a point of reference.
You’re not wrong for feeling how you feel about the expectations for the album. That’s fair.

SinceKumbayaHere he goes. Fees like people can’t like stuff he doesn’t like 💀
This the logic of drake haters on why he’s big. “He’s wack his fans just gobble up anything”
Hate to break it to you but people don’t force themselves with music. They. Just . Might. Like . It
Aight. I'll come out and say it. Please stop quoting me.

Eh, Drake adds a different dimension or a unique dimension to that style because of his penmansip but that’s a fair point.
This song sounds like an intro or interlude so I don’t if it’s something to worry about but I feel where you coming from.
DrakeKs penmanship is always gonna keep him afloat but will it keep him moving forward.
Views felt like a victory lap rather then him actually aiming at something and it’s all felt too comfortable since.

You’ll come around in a few months and say it sounds incredible. Saying Oz is a lazy producer lmfaooo greece/lie to me/toosie slide are f***ing fire
No the f*** I won't. The beat is trash. My mind will never change on that.

so what the f*** is the scorpion "sound" that everybody copied then
- May 21, 2021The Darkest Angel
But he posted Feel No Ways almost 6 months before Views came out
And he put 6 God on SoundCloud months before IYRTITL
It's a good sign because he's confident
6 god was part of a 3 song pack originally. For all we know, it could’ve just been a loosie at first. It was also leaked on Instagram a few week prior to it being released. How about now as well in that pack…

I'll even use a song like Pain 1993 as another example of him taking a modern style and making it his own.

maybe try letting go of your ego???? Just a thought
May 21, 2021Unwarranted shambles imo
Y'all putting unrealistic expectations on CLB and it shows. Yea it's nothing too special and thats perfectly okay this has been the reality of Drake's music for quite some time now.
Decent snippet

i can’t believe people are in here complaining about DRUM PATTERNS
don’t worry you’ll have those hard hitting songs on CLB not everything has to sound like some Lord Knows type s*** enjoy the music and stop complainin.. and if you don’t enjoy it... stop complaining 
May 21, 2021·2 repliesi feel like drake is just spinning his wheels at this point. this isn't the kind of s*** you delay an album for half a year to make.
