better than the songs on CLB

I'm talking projects, every project he's had been mid

But yeah most of those songs aren't great by drakes standards. Chicago, war, bb, keep the rest

It's exactly that.

They don't have to produce physicals anymore, yet they can still profit from streaming. Even if the album sucks they're still making a nice profit from the debut.

It makes 0 sense to allow them to release something for free when anyone can literally upload something to streaming ON THEIR OWN using a site such as RouteNote.

Nigga said keep the rest like Desires ain’t on there 😂

Read my post again, I’m saying he saying he needs to shut up = chill with the features because the Drake effect is him taking over and saving songs as per the public

& he’s dropped 1 project (of demos & leaks) since Scorpion so idk what you’re on about

desires ain't on there?

On DLDT?

he was calling it a playlist throughout the whole ovo sr promo tho, and dark lane a demo tape

i just wish he'd appease more of the styles he explores with full projects rather than dismissing the idea of a cohesive, connected album through wanting to not abandon a style

Features sure but CLB the best album he's dropped since Views at the very least

the hate are ppl who want to hate, its not because the music bad

Oh okay. I didn't know that.

its crazy how all the mixtape sites are now just media sites now

They still around wym? DLDT, IYRTITL ect.

eh the narrative seems to be that Drake hasn’t evolved his sound on CLB (when he’s really the only major artist of the big 3 to tackle various genres - afrobeat, dancehall, uk drill) this man needs to add a chord progression and an 80s synth for this site to acknowledge him it seems lol

Sounds like some nerd s***

Nobody cares

If he was dropping mid for 3 years and dropped CLB, this site would be drooling.

this ain't even about dropping mid, like DLDT was good for quarantine but if you make music for a year or two straight that you mess with and you have to scrap ten drill tracks, why not put them together as a drill tape with no promotion and no money invested

worst comes to worst, you say that's not the album rather than your drill fans being fed one song on the album and not messing with the rest

it seems all of ktt cares with the threads i see

I miss the mixtapes when rappers would just rap over someone else beat.

they got to work on they bars and flow and feed the fans before an album came out but now it just feels like these rappers don’t got enough skill and bars to do this anymore tbh. they just trying to make tiktok songs and go viral lol

it's true, it's a very loose term

i guess i mean those mixtapes dedicated to a certain theme

like kid cudi doing satellite flight before trying to go all out for his rock phase

or even Charli XCX dubbing POP 2 and No 1 Angel as a mixtape to embrace her hyperpop phase before fully making Charli, the album, which sprinkled in some traditional pop

Now if we want to take this even a step further.. we could even say that CLB is more like a mixtape than an album as well. No real importance to any of the songs, mostly just trap bangers. Written by the hottest new artists (obviously, you can tell by the flows)

f*** yes

They should it would be dope for nostalgia alone but I feel like those days are long gone sadly

Drake def not scared of putting out a dud

We’d have to revamp the format of the mixtape because it no longer falls under the definition it used to be

I agree with this feeling like more of a "mixtape"

I feel like he looked at his career as a whole on this album rather than the time before his last album run, which I don't advise

In this era of retaining people's attention, Scorpion is the last thing the majority of people remember since that's the image he promoted so heavily

The album ends up sounding more jumbled rather than a culmination of sounds heard in an era

This feels like a greatest hits to me rather an album, personally, which goes back to your mixtape point

charli did those tapes cause her label wasn't f***ing with the s*** she was doing so her label let he do the mixtapes with zero promotion or music videos

probably best thing for her career cause it made her have really cult fanbase
