We might have a reason not to listen to French very shortly lol

It’s weird cus I was just at a Sango show last night and when he started to play a Drake song, the crowd wasn’t really feeling it that much until he pitched Drake’s voice high up until it reached unrecognizable chipmunk levels before everyone could start vibing to it. Didn’t think Kendrick’s damage would still be lingering this long

That’s insane.
It’s interesting. It seems like Drake’s music hasn’t been hitting as hard in a social setting, however judging by most of this thread, many people still enjoy it on a personal level.
It says something, but I am not sure what.

the crowd wasn’t really feeling it that much until he pitched Drake’s voice high up until it reached unrecognizable chipmunk levels before everyone could start vibing to it.

I still love his music but you’re kinda right, especially when it comes to his newer songs released this year. This has been his worst year in well over a decade. If he doesn’t recover by next year, it’s safe to say his fall off is beginning

I wasn't big on listening to Drake much after More Life because his music has just gotten to be so much of the same old lazy s***. Honestly Nevermind was a nice change of pace. But he immediately went right back to putting out the same old lazy s*** after.

The beef just really highlighted what my issue with Drake's music has become. Dude has been big for so long that he just phones it in most times. Sticks to the usual formula with his albums/music in general damn near terrified to stray too far.

Also doesn't help that as he's gotten older he's gotten extremely immature. Went from making sad but earnest heartbroken nigga music to sassy toxic f*** nigga music. I'm just too old for that bullshit, and I know for damn sure that nigga is too old for it cause he's bouta be f***in 38 years old.

Anyway Drake lost.

his drake character got assassinated

like it’s actually time to move on from what he’s selling us in his music and i’m on this site because of drake

Facetious af op

Kendrick shattered drakes public image. The Drake brand has entered a downturn since then. Drake Stans will never admit it in a million years, and it even pains me to say it because I don’t like Kendrick at all

Give these folks the beef thread back! Every 12h there is new Drake thread now.

He should drop the Drake character and become a dancehall/latin-pop singer honestly. Call himself...Aubré

I have oft remarked, and shall henceforth proclaim anew, that the most advantageous course for Drake's artistic trajectory would be the cultivation of a profound and ruinous dalliance with heroin, preceding the creation of any future musical endeavor. Such a descent into narcotic indulgence would invariably birth an oeuvre both macabre and avant-garde, a labyrinthine exploration of the human condition steeped in the shadowy abyss of addiction. His verses would recount, with harrowing eloquence, the sordid encounters and tribulations of a soul ensnared by the fiendish grip of opiates, all whilst eking out existence as a purveyor of illicit pills, the circle of his companions contracting as society recoils in disdain.

In time, the revelation of his dependence would stir the fickle tongues of the media, catalyzing a maelstrom of scandalous discourse. His every folly would be scrutinized, and he would ascend to the pinnacle of infamy, a figure whose very name would be whispered with a mix of intrigue and revulsion. Arrest, alas, would soon follow—caught for possession of the very substances that ensnare him—thereby imbuing him with an authenticity that he has long pursued. The clamor of the masses, crying ‘Free Drake!’, would shake the globe, sparking a grand dialectic on the proper treatment of those in the throes of addiction, questioning whether redemption lies in rehabilitation or punishment.

Upon his release, cleansed of his bodily vices, Drake would emerge as a living testament to the scourge of the opioid epidemic plaguing the land, his visage synonymous with both ruin and redemption. His subsequent opus would be lauded, its themes a contemplation on past depravity and newfound virtue, his transformation heralded as a symbol of hope for the multitudes who suffer. Thus, through this crucible of vice and resurgence, Drake would immortalize his name among the pantheon of the greatest artists, his legacy entwined with a societal reformation that would echo through the ages.

Verily, the most prudent course for Drake’s ascension lies in his swift surrender to the narcotic muse, that he may, through darkness, reach the zenith of fame and influence

Honestly, that’s a good point, about how he actually matured in reverse as he got bigger and older.
I always thought he just stagnated, but now that you mention it, he has gotten noticeably worse in that regard.
For example, a “messy” Drake song from the early years, like “Marvin’s Room” is definitely unflattering and toxic in a way, but it’s also very honest and real. And it’s something that everyone can kinda relate to; if not doing what he did, at least feeling how he felt.
Compare that to something like “Slime You Out.” As much as I like the way that song sounds, it’s messiness is far more sinister and immoral in an unrelatable, cringey kind of way, rather than a relateable one.
Like, he’s in his late 30s, I don’t know why he is suddenly opening songs with uncut misogynistic rants when he didn’t even do that s*** as a kid

He still has a body of work that a lot of fans are still fond off and listen to, but 2024 was not his year

Octubre's muy propio

His beheading has become a huge source of memes for the younger generations. The mid music he's been dropping post beef isn't helping either

He's appealing to his fanbase of teenage and early 20s f*** niggas, and bitter niggas in their late 20s/early 30s still stuck on their ex from college.

Nah I still listen to him just as much as before

He lost of course but I’m not erasing my taste in his music over it

yeah I’m crushed

SIRI PLAY ALL THE PARTIES

🔂

For sure.
Hopefully his new situation will get him to improve a lil in that regard.

What you problematized is normal, friend. Many artists that I listened to a lot as a teenager no longer have my attention.

This but unironically.

the beef/kendrick’s accusations destroyed me to turn the entire media against Kendrick

I used to listen to Drake a lot. Thought CLB was one of his best loved Her Loss, but I always knew/thought he was probably the fakest rapper of all time even though he’s talented.

The beef pretty much confirmed it and the stuff I’ve been saying about him these last few years is now close to popular opinion.

That being said, no I don’t listen to him as much as a did pre beef. The character “Drake” is dead to me. Doesn’t help that his output this year has been awful

No yall are just pansies
