thread for pics of Drake looking ridiculous

ngl that fade is clean

More Life is my favorite Drake thing besides "Hotline Bling."

it's a lot of fun.

not heard it all but the song they played on 1xtra was very like one dance. drake seems to wish he was in london in 2008. hes probably made epic marcus nasty and live fm playlists on his ipod. for me at least, its like uk funky, but without the fun or energy, not helped, or caused maybe, by drake's imperious whine.

he should get apple to send him some beats.

Passionfruit, 4422, Can't Have Everything and Ice Melts are all good. Not sure about the rest but him continuing to move away from his "classic" sad underwater sound with 40 is a welcome development imo.

Drake is best when he doesn't feel constrained by his own conception of what an "album" should be. He spent years hyping Views, only to have it tank critically. Although it performed incredibly well commercially, and cemented his status as probably the biggest pop star in the world, he seemed to know that it was far from his best work, which is why he was so quick to announce More Life with four new tracks (only six months after Views). He thinks making an album should be a Serious endeavor, which is why he becomes firmly himself on Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and Views: petty, whiny, brokenhearted, indecisive, all with production courtesy of 40. This worked on Take Care because there were more well-placed fun moments, excitement over his burgeoning fame; it's a well-sequenced album. This started to wear thin on Nothing Was the Same, which in hindsight has comparatively few standouts. With similarly few boisterous tracks, an over-saturation of his shtick, and an 80-minute run time, Views is insufferable. It's no coincidence that the most critically acclaimed tracks are the dancehall ones: "One Dance," "Controlla," and "Too Good."

This just shows that Drake is strongest when he's cosplaying as someone else, and he only feels comfortable doing that when the stakes are lowered (look at career highlight If You're Reading This It's Too Late, a retail full-length he dubbed a mixtape where he pretended he was a battle rapper). Mopey Drake also doesn't show up as frequently on one-off tracks like "0 to 100," "5am in Toronto," "Dreams Money Can Buy," "Hotline Bling," "Draft Day," and plenty of others.

More Life is too long, and though I've only listened to it a couple times all the way through, it don't think it's as good as IYRTITL. But it's a hell of a lot better than Views, and I think that's because Drake called it a playlist, lowering the amount of pressure he put on himself.

Good Drake Take

AHEM DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE "RUMINATE ON DRAKE'S VALUE AS AN ARTIST" THREAD. PICS OR GET OUT

Drake's response (allegedly)

DJ Akademiks claims:
Drake is taking it in stride tho... he told me personally regarding the camp flog gnaw performance it’s a “moment of humility which is always welcomed”. He also added “was just not my night. Wasn’t who they wanted to see”.

Canadian politeness strikes again

Lol that is the most Tyler answer possible

It was the Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt they were booing.

Feel No Ways is a jam tho he’s right about that.

Looking pretty ridiculous at the top of the list of artists selling the most albums basically every quarter since 2013.

lol that's the second time someone's posted that obviously wrong infographic, why is that making the rounds

i was surprised that the pfork reader's list was k-k-f-k-f-k but no drake in the top 50. i thought that around 2015 people gave him cred. did he lose it?

i saw something very similar happen to kanye west once. de la soul were playing at the sónar festival in barcelona in 2004/5 (not sure), and they started hyping up a guest who was about to come out. it was a very euro-backpackery ("dis is reel heephawp") crowd, to say the least, and the most recent de la soul album at that time was the grind date which has some features including mf doom and ghostface iirc who would've appealed to that crowd. kanye west comes out and starts doing jesus walks or something and there's light booing and just a generally deflated feeling and de la soul and kanye are all visible annoyed at the crowd lol

"dis is reel heephawp"

heh

de la soul being visibly annoyed at the crowd is one of their signature moves iirc

lol, painfully true
