Shawn Cee wants Drake to give every person he mentions in his raps a backstory + character arc 😭
Anime vibes out here
I've just stopped listening to critics at this point when it comes to music, books, video games since I have a good enough grip on what I like so if I quickly preview something I can usually tell if I'll like it or not. I'd only listen to a critic if I knew they had similar taste to me, which I haven't seen so far
Its literally a song about his come up. How is it filler
In general he’s used that formula a lot. Away from home is a cool song but I Think a lot of the frustration with drake 2016 on is that it’s just predictable and not as potent. But I think that’s one of the only redeemable songs on FATD lol

This is why it's hard to take most of the criticisms about Drake's music seriously. People have the dumbest, most disingenuous critiques ever that are reserved for him alone. Drake is by far the most autobiographical rapper of his generation. 99% of his songs are about him/his life and the people in it. Having an issue with that means having an issue with him as an artist, especially when him making songs that run so personal are the very reason he's been so successful and has been able to amass such a following.

Understandable argument tbf
How is it a trick? No one ever says this when he name-drops other rappers or famous people in songs and this is something he has ALWAYS done. It's not a new thing he started doing. He is f***ing Drake, why the hell would anyone think they're SUPPOSED to know the people he speaks of in his songs? What a stupid and lazy critique, as usual.
Every mainstream rapper kinda has tricks
Things or phrases or techniques that they repackage over and over to take up space in the song
___ from peach tree that sued him
Nebby
Etc lol
You can’t lyrically criticize him just telling you something that happened but it feels like “old drake”/lyrical because he’s being detailed with random names we have no context for. Not necessarily clever or a display of skill but still scratches the itch of “drake really rapping”
I think I like “pop Drake” more if that makes sense
Like the lyrical songs on FATD are better than SH3 for me

And what's wrong with that, especially when it's something literally every rapper does?
45 minutes
He has multiple videos like this just b****ing and moaning about Drake.

Nothing if you like it but dude just saying he don’t lol

Its literally why Im obsessed with his music lmao. I love learning about the random people he talks about, theyre the characters in his books. From Nebby to Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree to Baby M. Like you said, there isnt a rapper that is as autobiographical as Drake. Kills when when people say he uses ghostwriters, especially for personal songs lmao
Wow now drake can’t rap without it being a repackaged trick… I’m glad he just does what he wants and doesn’t really listen to critiques lol
Happy Thanksgiving KTT fam. Opening up the day blasting Virginia Beach
Shawn Cee wants Drake to give every person he mentions in his raps a backstory + character arc 😭
He needs to read KTT, we’ll give him the backstory
I guess Drake prolly thought the clip was funny lol
He obv knows that most ppl don’t know these names. Just a come up story
He needs to read KTT, we’ll give him the backstory
Facts I feel crazy sometimes. Been on ktt since gkmc and feel like I know a lil too much backstory
Today is the first day I'm hearing of Shawn Cee and I'm immediately wishing I haven't
But I hate nearly all music reviewers
Diss me and just may see us on your block like the street parade
I feel like this bar is a slow grower for the non Americans
And as Canadian as Drake is, he's definitely a prominent American

I used to come to KTT for the leaks and links back then
Now I'm here for the lore. This site has had an interesting trajectory
