I'm shocked at the reception this album is getting. Praise all around the board. It can't be just me who thinks it literally sounds like a mixtape. Not bad but not amazing by any means.

Not sure how tf other producers were involved. Sounds like 90s boom bap type beat 13 times besides one or two. Listen to the production on FHD now THAT was amazing.

How did no one call this a snooze fest? His rapping was decent to above average. Nothing too crazy

Take "applying pressure" (btw the f o r m a t. he did in the tracklisy was pretentious and corny) he spits one pretty good verse and then says "DO YOU HEAR WTF I JUST RAPPED?!?!? THATS WHY I HAD TO REMIND U MOTHAFUCKAZ U CAN NEVER RAP AS GOOD AS ME!!!!!" like HUH??? Come on man

Y'all think this was good but when Kendrick drops he is coming to SLAUGHTER motherfuckers. This will look bland af when Kendrick drops.

Even without the kendrick comparison, off season is mixtape quality n I feel like that was intentional so the Fall Off will really be great. Hopefully

It sounds boring now.

Ok

The what?

Drdre wheres your old.youtibe prank channel

They act like 2 legends cannot coexist

It was originally intended to be a mixtape. And why does every thing need to be compare to kendrick lol

The whole "its a mixtape" crutch is such bullshit. Same thing was used with dldt. Do you think rappers are only using like half their power level when they claim their album is a mixtape like this is an anime? If they go into the booth and spit their verses and they arent amazing you cant blame it on being a mixtape

u dont have to be fixated on albums u dont like, just move on man it's not that deep. music taste is subjective for a reason

No one using it as a crutch. The album was great. But op seems confused on why it sounds like a mixtape and I'm saying it was originally a mixtape, hence it being rap heavy and lack of conceptual songs

And that is exactly what mixtapes were for back in the day lol. Cuts that didn't make the album cause they weren't good enough

Im not talking about real mixtapes. Im simply referring to drake and j cole releasing albums masquared as mixtapes for no other reason but to give themselves a saftey blanket if people dont like them enough

They weren't masqueraded as a mixtapes tho. Cole called the off-season an album numerous of times. It's an album. DLDT was always titled a mixtape, I mean 8 out of 14 songs were already leaked or released before the project came out.

This isn't a thug situation where the project is retroactively turn to a mixtape

Niggas are idiots man idk why they don't understand this lol

yea, it's a decent album, got a few solid songs, a few boring ones. Cole's made better albums

If members of the big 3 are gonna drop something that is going to get major hype i just dont wanna hear excuses. These are the guys that are supposed to be held to the highest standard of all rappers and if they are going to choose to drop music to the masses im not going to buy any excuse about why its not good and how their next s*** will be so much better

What excuses lol I just dont understand this angle and where's its coming from.

Many people made excuses for dldt being a "mixtape" and the album will be amazing but i just dont believe it

respectfully, that s*** has already came and went

Bro if dldt is compromised of leaks and loosies that were probably never gonna see the light of day if not leaked then why would that be an indicator of the album

Everything will sound boring when Kdot drops.

Everything stops when he drops.

Because if drake thinks its good enough to put out knowing it will sell extremley well he must be confident in the music. I dont care if they are leaks. He thought they were good enough to put out and thats the standard i hold him to because its a project he put on streaming which sold like 300k first week. If he wants to release music i dont need to hear the lore behind where the songs came from. He released them to the public

#3 in top albums on Apple Music

I'ma keep it real, I haven't listened since the week it dropped

Better than Damn
