I don't think Drake's had better production on a project than Iceman frankly, like no bullshit

This is all facts

I'm actually listening to it again rn!
I honestly think Firm Friends and Make Them Cry should have been the only rap heavy songs on this project

I think what was poisoning the well for me initially on Firm Friends (did not appreciate it first fewlistens) is that delivery we hear a lot on this record on the Make Them tracks and I feel it started to stale out
But yeah Firm Friends does give Room For Improvement
But my original comment was more about the similies in particular or the one liners.
Lines like "Don't make me break yo Kevin Hart boy" stood out because of the way he said them at the time. Verses like the F***in Problems feature was iconic because of the delivery.

i think that Scary Hours/Conductor-type vibe could use some of that old Drake spontaneity

Yall complain about everything lmao

i can’t even say that. his fans literally be mind blown when he says the most basic s***. he knows his audience doesn’t have critical thinking skills that’s why he spams punchlines so he can look like a genius

So he’s rapping???

That s*** is lazy and didn’t stack up into anything, cmon now

It’s cool cause it’s witty and shows talent and stuff but he does it way too often now

Feels like when he was in his prime he was more poetic

Drake fans are the most educated ones on here kid. Many of us have graduate-level degrees lol. Kbots are literally the biggest pseudo intellectuals on this site

Thank you Dr. Cheyenne Bryant

This is FACTS

I think people who hate weak similes and wordplay are exactly the people trying to save rap discourse so outsiders don't think it is as easy as it sounds.

Imagine a thread about "Any Topic" made by "a person with no knowledge".

They really do

Hitting net like a tennis ball

I agree

He never used to do this but has gotten lazy
If he takes like 10 extra minutes on each bar I'm sure he can get around this

tbh, there’s nothing wrong with any of these bars OP pointed out, especially considering none of them are even among the best bars I’ve heard on the record thus far. If another rapper not named Drake said this same s***, no one would really bat an eye but because it is drake we gotta act like standard rap similes are some kind of revelation on his career at this point lmao

yeah thats why i dont rate scary hours 3 as much as people do

I bet you missed the other part

Hittin the net for LOVE like a tennis ball

In tennis if you hit the net you don’t get a point, and if you have zero in tennis they say you’re losing “30-Love” or whatever. I fail to see what’s wrong with that scheme, it’s a nice little entendre

Anyone who reads these lines and thinks it means rap is easy is a f***ing idiot lmao

I’m with Noel like I’m Kris Kringle

as they say KringLe has at least one L...

and Lamar ain't Drake's middle name
