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

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."

while sipping on a wine spritzer

spritzin' ain't easy

holy shit drake's flow on HYFR is the biggest trainwreck

Drake: 'I'm the first person to successfully rap and sing'

omg just DO ONE you worthless moron

chamillionaire would like a word w u

Missy Elliott would also like a word, as would Eve, the ghost of Left Eye, Nelly, Flo Rida, etc etc etc

the army of singing rappers would like a word, mr graham

at this pt, I'm ok with a trade embargo w canada that bans this fool from our country

it's really fucking embarrassing that I can't resist the beat to "The Motto" because honestly he needs to stfu

dan have you heard this? http://soundcloud.com/funkystepzuk/funkystepz-x-drake-yolo-miami

oh god are you going to point me at more Drake songs I end up liking, because I really don't think my soul can handle that

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

no that's a remix that keeps the best bits of "the motto" while rendering drake unrecognisable and slyly taking the piss out of him!

i love it and i am also very invested in hating drake for being a worthless damp patch

I listen to Take Care every six or seven weeks and find another song I can stand on the back half; but like DJP I don't wanna get too close either.

oh hey this is great

although chipmunking Drake is possibly the most unnecessary thing to do in the world, lol

Can I just volunteer that life becomes much easier and more enjoyable when you realize it isn't really worth the time to hate Drake? He's not Chris Brown; there's no moral imperative to despise his music.

I've come to regard him as the Family Guy at this point: He's going to irk me sometimes, he's going to amuse me at others, but since he's everywhere, all the time, I might as well just get used to him.

if I wanted an easy life I would have sacrificed two years to i-banking when I was in my 20s

if he wasn't everywhere all the time why would i need to hate him?

he has amused me NEVER, ftr

I do not hate Aubrey graham, I just wish he had never become a rapper

oh sure, i may ask "WHY MUST DRAKE EXIST" but tbh i wouldn't really mind if he existed as, like, an admin assistant in an accountancy firm or something

he could take John Legend's old job at Boston Consulting Group

Only listened to Take Care once, and I can best compare it to being stoned in some rich friend's house late at night. He's pouring his heart out and even when you want to disagree with something you can't be bothered to speak be this couch is amazing.

speak because, rather

that is dead on

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

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.

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.

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
