Simpin Ain't Easy: The Official Thread For Drake's Sophomore Album, TAKE CARE

when Drake says the n-word, I like to think he feels really conflicted about it

dude

i don't think drake has ever said anything he doesn't feel deeply conflicted about

I'm just lol'ing over an accent. Damn. Maybe ILM memebers should stop posting about albums they know they won't like.

that would be ILX's "Miracle Mile"

lsb i'm sorry if you think i was mad, i wasn't actually getting heated at you

It's ok some dude. I was trying to give a logical reason on the supposed southern accent he may fake. I'm from Memphis, TN so I've heard some thick ass southern accents. I even drawl at times when around family. So I just can't find it in his voice. Maybe he's a bad actor?

zamboni on 'em

????....ok

see canadians like to play hockey and.....

butthurt backfire

HAHAHA

lol i linked some ppl to that earlier on gchat, it had me lollin

who is that?

everyone asked that, iirc its just a rando who dressed up like drake

looks kind of like alex in mtl haha

Who is Drake's record label in the US? Over here it's XL who also released the Gil Scott-Heron/Jamie XX album and the last Gil album proper. Think this says less about a thrilling spirit of collaboration between entirely disparate artists and everything about hand-me-downs and current music biz economics.

Young Money/Universal

seems more likely to me that drake likes british hipster shit than that two of the world's biggest pop stars were forced to sample something owned by the label distributing an album in one territory

Looks like me? Seriously?

Also, would not dress up as Drake.

that pic would be so much better w/o the cd on display! details, people!

ha just read that seconds ago

i am entirely unsurprised by drake fans proving themselves to be whiny lil bitches

you kinda got a vendetta against the dude. did he like, turn some of your thug friends emo or something?

i don't understand how expressing strong opinions about an artist = a vendetta

it's like that weirdo who's been on my tumblr and in the guardian comments saying that my dislike of indie is a "personal grudge" o_0

I ain't saying that you have to like dude, or that you can't hate him (lol I was talkin trash against him like only weeks ago)...

just like, you seem to be unusually offended by this dude and his recent release! between criticizing people for listening to it too soon after it came out "like fanboys", etc.

this isn't unusually offended by my standards at all. i feel this kind of hate at least once a month, and that's just re: music

yeah neanderthal this is pretty mild rhetoric from lex, you must be new here

he the best?

HE THE LEX! WHO? HE!

this album is really cotton candy-ish that it feels like a slog around the 50 minute mark (and unfortunately it's got 29 more to go). I like this for sure but have to break up each section.

i liked his piece on watch the throne but this one is a little muddled, although i suppose my thoughts on the album are somewhat muddled too. just for the h8rs, he devotes a full paragraph to gushing about crew love :) anyways, he's otm a lot of the time, esp when he says that drake's swag is first and foremost a coping mechanism.

just

"Spritzer in hand, he spreads himself out on the couch and acknowledges that, yes, he had a spell there when he was fucking tons of girls...but that just wasn't right for him"

"The fire starts to die out, Sixteen Candles comes to an end, and I ask if I can see his closet"

as i said on twitter, this is real deal amazing

*skins peels off own body, crawls somewhere to die*

When I ask about the strange square above the bed, he grabs a remote, and a projection system emerges from the ceiling. Neato, I say.

"Would I have you already?" he asks. "Are you sleeping with me?"

Time to go!

It's a hypothetical question (I think), but Drake, being Drake, still wants an answer: "We had wine and dinner by the pool, I brought you inside, I brought the projector down; are you or are you not sleeping with me?"

can't believe the description of their succulent dinner got cut

once again i am reminded of the admonition an exec gave to a friend of mine who was editing a ludacris documentary a few years ago: "you need to put in more lifestyle porn"

He gestures to the pool, the tennis court, the volleyball court, the stables. "It's really difficult for me to find something that makes me feel small."
