"headlines" doesn't have clunkers like a lot of his songs but it has a total absence of anything remotely good, which most of his songs at least have a little hint of

otm, totally unmemorable in any way

i think this is just a well written verse (except for the napkin part obv)

[Verse 1:]
I might be too strung out on compliments
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fuck and stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long I'm floating in and out of consciousness
And they sayin' I'm back, I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ohh I needed that
And they wanna see me pick back up, well where'd I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that
No don't do it, please don't do it, cause one of us goes in
And we all go through it
Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gone pay it
Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know

j0rdan you're slipping man, i'm worried about you

we should stage an intervention

weird song

maybe just boring? :(

liked nickis verse though :) (dunno about the lyrics)

no i actually like it a lot, it just feels a bit stitched together towards the end

i'm feeling the rhythm sure but i guess i'm looking for something catchy in drake (my mistake?) and this hook doesn't really stick (probably because it's monotonous but maybe that's actually just how drake rolls come to think of it).

rubbish

"i'm so i'm so i'm so" is not a fucking chorus

Whats the point? If I’m guardin
Double D up hoes, Dolly Parton

^ good

I wonder why the moon looks nice, girl
Maybe it’s just right for the night

^ bad

so bad and boring, briefly comes alive for nicki's verse but that's about all

super patronising too, like is he her dad or something??

I feel like this thread should be retitled "Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with Drake"

Celebrate Commiserate

take 2

Exact features still “to be declared”.

1. Over My Dead Body
2. Shot For Me
3. Headlines
4. Crew Love
5. Take Care
6. Marvin’s Room / Buried Alive Interlude
7. Under Ground Kings
8. We’ll Be Fine
9. Make Me Proud (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
10. Lord Knows
11. Cameras / Good Ones Go Interlude
12. Doing It Wrong
13. The Real Her
14. HYFR (Hell Ya Fu**in Right)
15. Look What You’ve Done
16. Practice
17. The Ride

i hope "Under Ground Kings" is just a typo by whichever idiot sent out this press release

I hope it is an epic poem about the difficulties of serving the Ground Kings of Niffelheim

I hope it is Drake's new line of coffee shops.

hyfr mngo

damn why isn't "Free Spirit" on the album :(

or "Frolicking (Intro)" :(

6. Peacock Feathers feat. Kanye West, T.I. & Lady Gaga

i havent actually heard it yet i was just basing off this twitter reaction

haha some people are apparently in entirely difft twitter circles than me:

TheKidSeanMac Dj Sean MacNificent
IM OUT! Yall clowing this Drake album TOO hard! LOL! Its a Great Album but "too" soft apparently.
14 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

there's collaborating with the weeknd and then there's just putting two weeknd songs on your album

"take care" is borderline piano house

not rlly 'borderline' its just a house track lol

these beats sound p dope i wish someone good at rapping was on them

'underground kings' beat is ill. whats the just blaze one

the one w/ ross

it sounds exactly like just blaze

really digging kendrick on the "marvin's room" outro

drake breaking into the "duffel bag boy" hook for half a bar dovetails nicely with 2 chainz' ascendance

just really did some work on this

I haven't been this personally invested in thoroughly despising an artist's output regardless of actual quality since... well I was going to say I was a teenager but then I remember R. Kelly

― keeping things contextual (DJP), Friday, July 27, 2012 11:02 AM (5 hours ago)

r kelly?

(i don't get the personal animosity for drake either tbh, his music sucks for the most part but like evan said he's not chris brown or something)

comparing him to people who have big strikes against them as people is apples and oranges, drake's music is all i need to loathe him. i mean ja rule wasn't half as ubiquitous on rap radio as him for half as long and remember how people whined about him being overexposed, i don't know why the world is still putting up with this worthless idiot.

ja rule wasn't half as ubiquitous on rap radio as him for half

wait what? dude was totally ubiquitous for like 5 years

there were 5 years between "Holla Holla" and "Wonderful" but he was only really ubiquitous in the 2 years between "Put It On Me" and "Mesmerize." Ja had 13 top ten R&B hits, Drake has 24 so far.

11 of those Ja hits were in the space of 2 years, i should add.

tbf that was a period when pop radio felt much more ubiquitous imo

tru

Is there a thread for the upcoming album yet? Really enjoying how to-the-point "The Motion" is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcmELzrpraw

New song. Guessing it's the single since it has 2 Chainz and Big Sean verses? I like it, though 2 Chainz is dead weight on this and probably has no business on a beat like this.

i like this a lot. sean's good on it... tity's prob got the least good verse. beat is cool. good for key wane.

Drake declares 'disgust' at Rolling Stone bumping him for Philip Seymour Hoffman

This morning, he took to Twitter to express his “disgust” that Rolling Stone had knocked him off the cover for Philip Seymour Hoffman. “I’m disgusted with that,” he wrote in two Tweets that he has since removed (you can see them on New York Daily News’ site). “Disgusted?” Really? Maybe “disappointed” would have been a more understandable and less regrettable word choice.

Drake tweeted: “I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue.”

Then followed with this Tweet: “I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.”

Next came the usual declaration…and one that will be recanted next time he needs the press for something. “I’m done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That’s the only way me message gets across accurately.” He’s kept up that Tweet.

http://www.hitfix.com/news/drake-declares-disgust-at-rolling-stone-bumping-him-for-philip-seymour-hoffman

Drake's a moron.

is it possible that his disgust was at them for quoting his less than nice comments about some of Yeezus when he thought it was off the record?

it reads ambiguous to me?

nah he was definitely pissed they took the cover

he'll get over it

This album

Sorry I just unabashedly love it. I don't think I've heard any other album, rap or otherwise, so thoroughally explore the cruel reality that, no matter how much you might delude yourself, you can't bookmark a relationship and return to it when it the timing is more convenient. You either ride it out or give it up for good. Such a simple, Kundera-esque premise, and he does so much with it. Four years later it still guts me.

yeah easily one of my fav records of the decade, i think NWTS is a big step down from this
