I was reading this review, creature of habit, from the days where pitchfork had sway……my thing is, what’s so wrong about an album that’s expressing dejection with the music industry? Like yeah it’s obviously very bitter and defiant. But that’s what this album’s central theme is. It’s probably his one true concept album. It’s very cohesive as a tone of music and the sentiments he’s putting forth.
Idk I find it very fascinating as a listen as someone who’s had a lot of Drake critiques over the years. This is the most meta album of such magnitude ever made. Like yes he’s very much at war with his label and yes there’s a lot of money at play and yes a lot of his peers don’t f*** with him. People don’t like to indulge him for this but it is interesting and compelling as a listen.

What’s wrong with twitter anyway I swear half of the replies on ppls s*** is bots
Yea Twitter is either an incendiary reply or a bot most times now
still respect to Jaylen Brown
decent to good NBA player
seems like an intelligent, and generally good dude
terrible opinion on music though
https://twitter.com/FCHWPO/status/1861533075559072026would also say that in general the rabbit hole is deep
he's managed by 2 main corporations, m88, and The Lede Company.
m88 - co-founded by Charles D. King, a guy behind a lot of Black films of recent years, most notably Judas & The Black Messiah, which has a rare guest rap verse from who?

and The Lede Company is a PR firm with strong ties to the Roc. They aren't officially under the same umbrella, but they've partnered up for events together before. not only do they support Rihanna's PR but with Kendrick Lamar and pgLang.
when the Los Angeles Fire Department needed crisis management support, they hired The Lede Company on a direct recommendation from Jay Brown, the co-founder and CEO of Roc Nation.
"Last summer, the Los Angeles Fire Department enlisted a public relations firm to help shape the narrative around its response to the Palisades fire as it geared up to release its long-awaited after-action report.
The optics around the devastating fire hadn’t been good.
A Times investigation revealed that top LAFD officials failed to pre-deploy engines in Pacific Palisades, despite forecasts of dangerously high winds. Mayor Karen Bass ousted the fire chief. The thousands of residents who lost their homes were growing increasingly angry. City and LAFD officials were concerned about how the report, which was intended to examine what mistakes the department made and how to avoid repeating them, would land.
“While we have a section that deals with press inquiries, media, and interview requests, they are not equipped to deal with what I call a ‘Crisis,’” LAFD Deputy Chief Kairi Brown wrote to the Lede Company in July.
The Times obtained the email and other materials this week through the California Public Records Act. Brown wrote in the email that his brother, Jay Brown, who co-founded the entertainment company Roc Nation with Jay-Z, recommended the firm."

FATD is one of his top 3 albums we will have that conversation one day
It may just be in my top three. Would you consider SH3 apart of it too based off the title or that’s its own thing?

It's part of the deluxe so I would but I still think FATD original album stands strong enough on it's own
polar opposites is something special
Goddamn they cooked him with the Pitchfork review and it's really well written. (if you did actually read it) It is paternalistic however and something I used to be guilty of as well. Drake records are better enjoyed without the magnifying loop. Face the fact that he won't change and enjoy the slappers. From his unique perspective, change means accepting defeat and stepping away from the throne. Not even the entire world calling him a pedo did that...
If you want a more relaxed and nuanced review check out the Popcast guys on youtube.
How to resurrect yourself and carry forward, head held aloft, after the biggest kill shot in hip-hop history? One way might be to hone a single, perfect statement—something narrow and vicious, a shiv to the ribs of the world that cheered your demise as your rival threw a Cheshire-Cat grin at you from the Super Bowl halftime show.
That might have been wise, but Drake has never been wise—or concise. Drake’s career has been predicated on the belief that there are endless ways to rephrase and restate the same two or three vague notions that have been swimming around like goldfish in his brainpan since before the iPhone was introduced: 1) Fame is hard, mostly because it indulges your worst tendencies, which you can always then blame on the heavy burdens of fame, and 2) Why do none of these conniving women and despicable hangers-on trust me?

7969 & Away From Home are like some of my most played Drake tracks. The former has such an ambient soundscape, reminds me of the PS2 startup.
Album has such overlooked deep cuts with Bahamas, Polar Opposites, All The Parties, Picasso.
the moment i start caring about these music reviews i know im officially washed. imagine not being able to decide for yourself if you f*** with music or not lol
Imagine we heard National Treasures for the first time on stream, truly robbed of a moment and most definitely a #1 because of that leak.
on another note
the boy packed up rocky on dm in like 2 bars
but man burning bridges hits even harder despite the lyrics being less aggressive lol. Where She @ is everywhere online.
Lots of love on my socials now compared to release day lol
we seeing more normal folks post about it now and not just the ones thirsty for a viral hate tweet
It’s so funny the ktard narrative is that he’s crying on this when in reality he isn’t crying at all and is actually sending shots and rebuttals right back to what was said about him all 2024 and 25 lol
Do you really expect anything else from those f***ing re tards?
