Drake listened to a lot of Life After Death while making Scorpion. Scorpion's tracklist has 20+ songs because he saw Biggie do it with Life After Death. (Source: RapRadar interview)

Any other examples of bad/mid albums being inspired by classics?

I think we all know what inspired this album

What?

frank ocean

scorpion a classic tho

Postal service

i remember giving up on logic after this album

??

I never listened to the full album honestly

I really thought Nicki would release a classic just based off the album name smh

Nope!

scorpion isnt bad lol

why not!

Don't forget RED album by Game

To be fair to owl city, postal service inspired pretty much the entire indie scene of the back half of the 2000s. Only reason i pick on owl city is cuz the singer sounds exactly like Ben gibbard

Bet he thought he was a genius for this

Edit: I know you said classics but it's more inspired by astro than Rodeo

It's s***ty for a Drake album. I only kept five songs and people don't talk about the album cuts on Scorpion. People used to talk about his album cuts on Take Care/NWTS/IYRTITL a lot

Damn lol

KOD

under pressure from gkmc
