There is 3x the amount of listenable music than on Ye, and I get bored of songs no matter how good they are if I dont have variety. This works for me and, i feel like the reasons the streaming numbers are so high, other than people falling asleep is that there is a "something for everyone" appeal to having so many songs. I even appreciate the happy birthday song for what it is.

I dont understand how a digital product is constantly referred to as bloated like it has a digestive system, like people dont consume music piece meal regardless and shuffled, at least I do.

If you have rarestrain OCD and cannot appreciate a product outside of ocassionaly arbitrary sequential orders and precise original context. And if something interrupts you, you start sweating and have to reset the project from the top, then yeah this album is like, your worst dream.

i think you just like the album dude theres no need to start yelling at people about digestion or whatever

Ballers...I put numbers on the boards

Dexo posted:

Um what, an Album should be cohesive and be able to be listened to from front to back, at least once. Artists spend a ton of time figuring out the sequencing of their album and ensuring one song flows into the next. I don't have to listen to it front to back always but album sequencing is important as poo poo as a song can have an entirely different meaning and feel depending on where it's at in the Album.

A well structured album is one of my favourite things, but in the era of streaming it's becoming less and less common, unfortunately.

yep, the legacies will say it all. drizzy drake, the greatest rapper and most successful music artist possibly of all time with achievements at the absolute pinnacle of the game for over a decade with a repution of sharing his success and fostering the career of new artists

verus

the weakest member of clipse whose solo career has fizzled out thanks inequal parts to his inability to make a song good enough to crack even the top 100, his weird bitchmade chip on his shoulder against wayne and drizzy (transparently out of sniveling jealousy for their rapping ability), his absolute incompetence at managing his own career and good music and most of all his incompetence to write bars about anything except for that one time he sold a few grams to a sorority literally two decades ago.

i’ve been sitting here struggling to finish this post with “gossip T will always be remembered as...”. i’ve been stuck for ages and I just worked out why hahah. this is the sad agony aunt who spent 5 years making excuses for the delay to the followup to his terrible solo debut, put out 20 minutes of mediocre rap over decent production finally where the most notable bars he had were only worth talking about because they managed to get drake’s attention and then got absolutely obliterated in the rap battle he so desperately wanted. He was barely a speed bump in the rap god’s continued dominance of rap, music and the record books.

unfortunately the reason I was having trouble finishing the sentence is because the truth is that he’s not going to be remembered at all

Yyyyuuuuuuuuhuuuuyhhuuuuuuhgkkkkkkkkk

I mean a lot of people listened to the album and said why they don’t like it. It’s just boring. It’s a Drake album but without any fire and also a bunch more tracks. It’s not a HORRIBLE album or anything (I mean the beats alone) but the shtick is just so old and tired, it feels to me like he isn’t hungry anymore and just wants to have more hits that make money.

honestly even the beats aren't that great, 40 fell off

I like it. I've been listening to it a while and if you like drake I'm not sure why this doesnt appeal to you.

It feels a lot like nothing was the same to me, all the beats are good, even the ones that aren't amazing have a lot of intricacies and beat swaps throughout.

I hated more life and views btw no stan. I bet no one can even point to a reason this album is worse than his other stuff besides the 1:00 collective of peppered son edits maybe. They are kind of cringe. Still.

it's better than more life and views but like, it's a problem precisely because it makes me think of how good Nothing Was the Same is. scorpion's not unpleasant or really poo poo or anything it's totally fine in the background with some good beats, but it feels like a worse version of better albums, no sense of progression from his old stuff, and so I end up going to listen to his old stuff instead. there's nothing with the energy of Worst Behavior, for example. and yeah an album as a whole can feel bloated by having a lot of mediocre tracks between the good ones, which is what happened here.

What I don’t like about scorpion is just how phoned in drake sounds. Like he’s half asleep the whole time and barely deviating from one flow. The second half a bit better. Idk I’m a big drake fan but I don’t think it was even as good as views or more life, both of which I liked but thought could’ve been better.

Besides nice for what my favorite song on it is mob ties cause he actually does some interesting stuff on that track even if it’s maybe just biting young thug. he sounds like hes just talking over sleepy beats for way too much of the album. that can work i mean (marvins room is one of my favorite tracks of all time) but theres just so little emotion or content in it it just sounds lame to me

I finally listened to the album and it's not bad but I'm not compelled to listen to it again. Popular music sounds derivative to folks who are always listening to new music for a drat reason: a pop artist is supposed to poach all the best trends and styles from the last year or two and present a consumer friendly version to the masses. They aren't ripping anyone off because most of the time they are hiring the people who created the sounds they are aping.

That's popular culture and how often do hip hop heads admit to listening to pop music unless it's with their girl or in the club? The reason they are heads is because they like finding new music and rebel against dominant sounds. That's the nature of culture. The masses don't have the context of the Pusha T disses nor care.

Championing the new Drake in this thread is like bragging about the latest Apple computer in a general computer thread. You gotta expect blow back.
