    WATTBA also actually sounds like a collaborative effort

    they got Drake on hooks on there, what did 21 do besides mumble and sleepwalk through his verses on Her Loss outside of the little trading bars thing with “On BS”

    tracks like Plastic Bag are really nice and doesn’t even feel like it’s competitive, they both brought something unique to the production on there

    It was always a big criticism of the project that drake felt tacked on. I don’t want you to think that’s new or happened after the 21 thing

    WATTBA clears HL by embarrassing leagues.

    relisten to WATTBA and get back to me man

    WATTBA is the greatest collab album of all time.

    I love both artists for the record. The beef is corny

    Yeah ok, to me that sounds like your perception of drake as a person is just different than it was in 2015 and you’re letting that color your experience

    I’m not talking about lyrical content because both are misogynist projects if that’s your critique. Unironically I found it lame that drake was telling his girl “you better not be on the phone when I get home” but I guess I beat y’all to the critiquing his misogyny by a few years

    When you say he was more charming and likable it’s so blatantly just your perception and drake fatigue

    Drake’s flow and vocal performances are simply much better on Her Loss. Actually less sleepy. I would describe his flow on WATTBA as a bit flabby and slow. A lot of that old “WHOAAAAA” back to back flow which doesn’t hold up so well

    Yeah, a person's perspective on an artist does matter because nobody is completely objective and do I get less enjoyment out of listening to a 35 year old Drake with a deeper, more world weary voice rap about the same s*** he did when he was 28. He wears it a lot better over those fun Metro beats too.

    “What a time to be alive!” Is what I say when living through these tumultuous times of beefing!

  • Mar 27, 2024

    a lot of people preferred her loss since it dropped

    Metro turning to a hoe really caused the GOAT Duo from staying together smh

    was this all really stemming from metro feeling snubbed from an award show

  • Mar 27, 2024

    21’s best contributions to her loss were the songs he was left off of

    yeah that was the start of drake making more generic music not that all his music is generic but you know

    There’s “no one is completely objective” and then there’s listening to a rapper and blatantly projecting his age and what you think of his public persona onto your opinions of the art

    This why music discourse is so f***ed. Even some of the more intelligent let narratives and our biases lead the way far too much

    I don’t care if Drake killed a puppy while recording Her Loss, my brain can separate things. It is still the objectively better rap performance from any perspective considering flow and lyrics

    “21 can you do some for me” is hardly some “world weary s***” cmon do better

    It’s more even than Her Loss

    But there’s still a good 4 out of 9 collab songs that are straight up future feat drake. It is something people were saying in the moment, people felt like drake was just jumping on future songs. But regardless, a collab project doesn’t succeed or fail based on how collaborative it is if you ask me. As long as the album is good it don’t matter who contributed what
