The track order on the iTunes deluxe edition I purchased is radically different from both the leak and Wikipedia. I like it better too: "Loving You No More" works better in the center of the record than as a finale, "Yesterday" doesn't rob the album of all its momentum so early on, etc.

Also the extra tracks on the deluxe edition actually allow the record more space to breathe, weirdly. The second half feels less packed with big dislocated statements.

He says at the end he's "gonna get his Drizzy on" which essentially means the whole thing is pretend Drake.
It's a joke, but a joke like, "I killed your dog and burned your house down... get it?!"

it would be more like timberlake telling you he built you a house and you show up and it's actually a treehouse molded in drake's visage

that is a fantastic image by the way, "timberlake sounds like he is living in a giant treehouse molded into drake's visage"

twice as good as anything on the kanye and i don't even hate that album
i basically just keep playing the first seven or so songs god damn
― k3vin k., Monday, 20 December 2010 22:20 (fifteen years ago)
i can't stop listening to this disc
― sleepingbag, Monday, 20 December 2010 22:20 (fifteen years ago)
uh, too
i love that second vocal track on the chorus ("and weeeee will neeeever lose....") - perfectly captures that hand-in-hand, disoriented, drunken weaving through the crowd right when you're stepping onto the dancefloor
― k3vin k., Monday, 20 December 2010 22:24 (fifteen years ago)
yeah i actually really dig CB's few bars on "i know"
― k3vin k., Monday, 20 December 2010 23:31 (fifteen years ago)
i think "yesterday" is great -- but i've always dug his pre-beating music (after which there was a definite drop off artistically imo)
― return of the nakh (J0rdan S.), Monday, 20 December 2010 23:32 (fifteen years ago)
the weird thing is the songs have somehow gotten less pleasurable as I play them but I keep on playing them, I can't stop
>_>
― dayo, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 00:44 (fifteen years ago)
also the production on this is monstrous, much much better than MBDTF. the drums on ass on the floor are just WOW

man I think I'm actually gonna buy the deluxe edition. interested to see how the different sequencing will work
― dayo, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:19 (fifteen years ago)
j0rd otm about the 'cohesiveness' of the album. every song really feels rainy and dirty. I can't stop picturing the album art in my head when I listen. feel like I should take a shower after I make it through one play.
― dayo, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:20 (fifteen years ago)
also O_O at 'love come down' but yeah I could see how it feels out of the place on this. a little too sharp
This album is approaching my top ten, just hours from my submitting the P&J ballot.
― Gus Van Sotosyn (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:50 (fifteen years ago)

― some dude, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:55 (fifteen years ago)
on a "am i seriously thinking about putting this in my top 3 after one listen!?" tip
I still don't care for "Angels" or the Drake number, but the first six songs are just beasts.
― Gus Van Sotosyn (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:58 (fifteen years ago)
the bridge w puffy on hello good morning is like my fav 15 secs of music this year
could make a song out of it imo
― dayo, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 15:59 (fifteen years ago)
wiz's weird enunciation always gets stuck in my head and i'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing
― dayo, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 16:00 (fifteen years ago)
i didn't like "Hello We're Boring" or "The Biggie/Jay Mashup Show" as singles but they work well in the context of the album
― some dude, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 16:00 (fifteen years ago)
wiz's weird flat voice is annoying imo and i don't know why people listen to him
― some dude, Tuesday, 21 December 2010 16:01 (fifteen years ago)
that song is also weird because of puffs breathy encouragements after each line of wizs verse
