Nice jacket

Bruh if he keeps using that flow .... S***'s nasty 🔥

Link?

Entirely mustard produced Kendrick project might be the best album OAT

Not Like Us lowkey opened a huge door for him to do whatever he wants now .. outside of the push and pull of expectations coming off Morale

Pink ? 🤨

Thank you for service, 69 God. Kenny's got it from here

Lost his ear for melody n s***, can't even say he was a plant
, feed tha streets series really dope. He needs a mentor/writer/ he needs kendrick

damn/nation

that snippet was crazy

I'm tired of getting a little taste of him, I want the whole load

That snippet is so hard

thanks yo this is a good post too i think everything you said here is definitely plausible. think back on just how HIMSELF drake used to be. it's sooo crazy to see him being seen as inauthentic now (rightfully so) when drake was anything but in his early career, apart from the occasional faux pas like the headlines video or started from the bottom lol. bro was like a nerd and student of hip hop (but not in an insufferable corny way like j cole... sorry im just a cole hater always have been lol) and a lady's man. the type of nigga to rap over jai paul and talk to these hoes like they're his one and only or talk about how sad he is that aaliyah's gone hahaha... it was like "yeah you niggas hate me but guess what i just flew out your girl" type energy. frankly, it's almost Prince vibe in terms of him being another untradtionally presenting straight man who was often hated by cishet men but beloved by women, embracing his sensitivity and even "femininity" and women resonating and being attracted to that. being a jit during this whole era, drake's aura was UNDEFEATED back then for me. he was an inspiration because i felt like him and his camp were doing something artistically cool and still getting success/bitches off it hahaha. it was something i aspired to, honestly.

that second point is valid too. i can definitely see how his reputation being permanently stained by that sullied this idea that he would be considered like a GOAT MC, so he just abandoned it in favor of... whatever tf he's doing now, chart dominance i guess? music that's here today and gone tomorrow for me personally.

i liked a lot of tracks on views but there were a lot i didnt like. i think you're right as views does feel like a more traditional drake album especially considering the duds he's been dropping lately, but even still i think that album is infected with the faux pas mob boss fake abs bullshit like 9 or the future song, and of course had the beginnings of his weird need to ape other styles like dancehall caribbean music etc which to me back then was SO weird because i was like "why would he need to ape anything?? does this nigga not realize how innovative and influential his team's sound was and still could've continued to be? like yall havent even taken this as far as it could go..." tracks like fire & desire or feel no ways or redemption or u with me? for example off top. it for SURE seems like he completely lost confidence in himself and the sound. and yes idk about the rihanna thing necessarily but this is HUGE like the clear love and empathy he had for women even up to 2018 with nice for what seems completely absent now. maybe it was always a fraud but maybe not.

lmk if you think i should make a thread on this tbh. i wanna talk about it with more because i feel like the drake problem doesnt get enough discussion from this specific perspective in terms of niggas like me who used to be huge fans but are completely off him now. but when i made my esperanza spalding thread it was before the beef and drake stans blew my notifs up for weeks after they awfully quiet these days though so it might be a good time to do that

My phones autocorrect has been dog s*** lately and changing correctly spelled words into other words spelled in a similar way

It's not just link to pink type stuff either, s*** like a***ytics can get changed to a***ysis. I think I need to change the keyboard I have installed or something at this point. It's been in like the past week and it's aggravating

Put him on pgLang watch his whole career turn around

just dancing on that nigga grave at this point

If you have iPhone go into your general settings into Keyboard and make sure all that predictive/automatic s*** is turned off

PUT A LABEL ON HIM AND HE MIGHT GET EM DROPPED

Drakes career will never be the same

Word of the day for you bruh @2words
