    Drake has NEVER sounded as bad vocally as he did on HN.. stop lying breh! We all loved that cover of Kanye’s 24

    They wouldn’t have complained about Drake’s lyrics if the Melody, the flow and his interpretation was hitting.

    For example:

    beyonce on heated on paper looks like
    “ Like stolen Chanel, lock me up in jail
    Cuff me, please, 'cause this ain't fair
    Dripped in my pearls like Coco Chanel
    Uncle Jonny made my dress
    That cheap Spandex, she looks a mess”

    But when you HEAR it on record it sounds like:

    !https://youtu.be/o3WqRPM6M0A

    (3:50)

    And it’s the HARDEST part of the song.. why!? It’s not because the lyrics necessary cut deep or even make any real sense.. it jus that she sounds energetic and lit as f*** saying them.. that’s charm, that’s wit, that’s presence. She makes us believe her

    Drake on the other hand sounded like he needed a good nap lol

    Heated is so f***ing good frfr

    I actually think that verse on the end of Heated isn’t good at all and doesn’t fit on the song lmao

    But that’s not the point still. Pitchfork said nothing about his delivery in the review. They specifically targeted the lyrical. content.

    “that means you think his singing on HN sounds good because it’s the exact same delivery and cadence he’s used in his singing his entire career” - baby his autotune was set in the wrong key and his falsetto passages were OFF. Wayy to much dip on the chip especially those first few records
    Even his stan critique this.
    Stop capping..

    It’s funny you mentioned off key on HN and also said that you love his 24 performance because he literally hit wrong notes all throughout it

    The vocal performance doesn’t justify the huge gap in score

    They basically gave her s*** a 90 and his a 66 that’s nearly a 30 point swing

    I could see if that gave HNM a 7.5 and this like an 8.5, that would be reasonable

    They aren’t even trying to hide their biased-ness anymore

    30 points

    10 points - middle of the water/lifeless production

    10 points - terrible sounding vocals

    10 points - little presence/boring delivery

    The fans and GP agree and his sales for the album reflect that

    Music is about way more than just vocals though

    Production is the best part of Renaissance and as a whole, imo >>>

    I still spin Sticky, Massive, and Jimmy cooks on the regular tho.

    This album is my aoty so far and I don't even listen to Bey like that

    Trying to say Drake is excused from criticism because he can't sing as good as Beyonce is hilarious. This the same man that made Take Care. The s*** was just not good this time around

    I don’t disagree with your first point, and I think Renaissance is the 2nd best album of the year.

    But Honestly, Nevermind is also a great album in its’ own right, and I think it’s Drake’s best project in a very long time

    We all know Drake's singing range. Did they really expect him to be hitting Adele/Mariah Carey notes on the album?

    Nah but it gets repetitive sometimes.

    Are y’all blinded by nostalgia? The singing on Take Care isn’t amazing either

    He’s never been a great singer, he’s even admitted that several times. He just has a nice tone and can hold a note, but he’s never been truly great or exceptional at singing

    Maybe, idk. Idrc about scores like that so you could be right

    Repetitive, sure, but claiming that the singing on HN is terrible in comparison to the rest of his discography is truly baffling because he’s sounded like that singing for 13 years now

    Ehh, he sounded real good on Take Care. Shot for me, title track, Doing it wrong, The real her, all sound legit.

    Thats not what I said. My overall point is that he made it work and sound good. On HN, not so much.

    i havent read the review, can someone tell me if its political like all their recent scores or is it about the music

    He sounds shaky throughout this whole song and when he stretches to reach those higher notes at the beginning of certain phrases he’s flat

    I will never understand why people hype up his version of the song because it does not sound good at all lmao

    “ The production on HN is not lifeless” - compared to Bey’s it was incredibly dull and monotonous.. only drake Stan’s disagree with this.

    Most of this board don’t even f*** with Beyoncé like that and even they had to admit that she did the DAMN thing. Let’s not make this a stan thing sirr

    But why are you comparing the production on HN to Renaissance at all?

    Sure they’re both “house” albums, but they were both going for two totally different approaches to house music.

    I think both albums are fantastic and I don’t understand why some of you on here have to s*** on HN in your praise of Renaissance
