Have you heard it outside? At a club? Someone playing it in their car? Doubt it

Yes barring the club because I haven’t been to one since it dropped.

Just because you have a viewpoint doesn’t make it true bruh

To be completely fair to Drake, Make Them Cry is a good level of rapping (for him). A few other tracks are high level (for his standards). I give him credit for a big improvement in rapping skill (for his standard) but there’s a lot of songs here if you look at bar wise are absolutely trash. It’s easily digestible music you understand on first listen, the slicker bars don’t go over anybody’s head, and not all songs need to be like that sure. But if we’re saying he’s the best rapper alive and above his peers rapping wise, that’s just wrong

Just say you live in the suburbs

That’s the one place they might be bumping this s***

A lot of the bars that haters focused on were missing the whole entendres or parts of it

People focused on the “hurts like Philly eagles” but didn’t catch the “face the way they paint me” which sets up and adds to the meaning

Everyone focused on the “Dubai/do but” but didn’t even catch the “I rack/iraq” in the same line

They aren’t hard to catch on first listen bro. I caught them first time. People that don’t just aren’t paying attention. Or they just listen to mainstream rap only, sure for that standard it would probably blow peoples minds. It’s a much higher level than Lil Wayne was ever at. That’s literally why Drake is so successful, he keeps it simple for the masses to enjoy.

Facts said this same s*** yesterday

Also it’s okay to have fun with words sometimes!

You’ve been on your knees d***sucking shortstack and hating on Drake for almost 3 years now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dumbass

Well clearly it wasn't supposed to be a bar song dumbass

It's something you play outside dork

For all intents and purposes this is Drake’s Blueprint

When Hov dropped the Blueprint he was beefing with Nas and a lot of other characters were throwing shots at the Roc such as Prodigy, Jadakiss etc as well as different media outlets

Hov was 32 at the time which was a dinosaur in rapper years back then (the precedent for the 40 year old rapper hadn’t been set yet in 2001) and after a string of commercial rap projects that followed Reasonable Doubt people questioned weather or not he could deliver another classic and questioning if he was better than Big and if he was truly worthy of his status as King of NY

The Blueprint dropped with his best production and best flows ever and shut all that up

That is more or less what is happening with Iceman

Sure Drake is 39 but 39 in 2026 is pretty close to 32 in 2001 culturally, people age slower these days because we are all so online and childish

I know you were in missionary about these lyrics though

Second part isn’t bad, just feel like it should’ve been its own song

When I first heard the beat drop on the hook

Lol, English is not my native language, I thought he says that he has some other album that he is not submitting, as his label wouldn't release it, but at the same time it is something that people want (I misheard word won), and then I interpreted words about positioning as every new album promoted as being the one that fans really waited for (like more bars or more melodic stuff).

Listening to GNX for the first time since this dropped

Both these mfs so nice man Drake and Kendrick are as good a pair of goats as any rap has ever seen

My top 5 Drake albums as of now. the new 3 are still in heavy rotation but not sure I place them

1. IYRTITL
2. WATTBA
3. Scorpion
4. NWTS
5. More Life

I love trap Drake, I think that’s where his best rapping lies. When he has to focus on flow more than bars the bars also end up being better. Also those trap beats are way harder than most modern “time stamp”
Style beats. The last super hard timestamp record was 4pm in calabasas

Plot twist and national treasure first half is good example of having to focus on flow first and foremost.

This is just my opinion tho

i was thinking this too

ngl Id get a little td up if Bron really smashed

Wait hold up, the blue print 2 u mean

Ether hadn’t dropped yet when blue print came out

Why Drake's vocal on little birdy sounds so fried frequency wise? Or whatever lol.

Ether was Nas's response to Takeover which was on The Blueprint

Nas dissed Jay-Z before the blueprint on his Paid in Full Freestyle (H to the OMO)

no i mean the blueprint
