I died at "next time I don't want to fuck, I want to make love."
Drake the type that doesn't have self-awareness.

He sounds sad as fuck.
I bet dude broke down, cried, and lied in the bed for two days straight watching Lifetime movies and shit after he heard his name in that verse.
And I don't really get why he's so mad. It'd be one thing if Kendrick came out on some wild disrespectful shit, but that's not what that record is.

Kind of a dumb question but I'm gonna ask anyways: should I buy the mp3 version off Amazon or the buy the AAC version off iTunes? Is there any noticeable difference in quality?

Still loving the album. Still the best production by far that I've heard on a hip hop album this year.
Drake won't drop Kendrick's name because he's a poonani.

The poster effingvic thinks anyone can make beats like 40 in their sleep

Ikr? People saying well "he recorded this before the kendrick diss!". A damn lie. He took alot of subliminals at Kendrick.

aint really know where to start, but since you're so insistent that it's a classic no matter what: lots of people define that word differently. do you think a classic has to have consistently good tracks, or is it okay to have a few skippable ones as long as the highs are particularly good?
always down, but its nice to see you saying something other than those 2 posts where you listed some of the album's worst joints
i totally get why drake stays working with 40 (despite dude sometimes running his mouth); his beats are great & fit his style really well. a lot of what i dug here & the last few albums had his signature all over it.
effingvic also thinks Born Sinner was better somehow so i don't know what to do with that, honestly
Desperate for press. Means nothing, he'll still dap up Kendrick Lamar while being acutely aware Kendrick is making the entire rest of the game or at least the "new school" look real bad right now, including Drake.
Even if you construe those lyrics as a response to Kendrick (which is a stretch IMO, Drake has been talking similar shit for a hot minute), it's a pretty weak response with no impact. Drake is still mailing his lunch every day to TDE offices like everyone else.

I really do hope everyone Kendrick mentioned won't be on his next album.
No need for new ninjas to get involved.
On topic: The album itself is pretty good, I really do hate the crooning, but that's what he does, and you just gotta accept it.
Take Care had better highs for me imo, but lower lows.

I don't think there's a beat as good as Crew Love on here, personally.
IrishNinja
Member
eh? i like the more chill/downtempo ones so from time's keys do it for me, but you're telling me the beat switch on tuscan leather or pound cake don't do it for you?
XANDER CAGE
Member
I'm not shitting on any of the tracks on the album, it's just that beat wise there's nothing that grabbed me as much as Crew Love did back on Take Care.
Tuscan Leather is especially good though.

Didn't expect the sales to be that high, 650k-700k projections

From Time and Paris Morton Music 2 are top-notch. Motion is really good. Started From the Bottom is great and the best radio hit (NOT Hold On We're Going Home, which is trash), and All Me is good.
I love when Drake albums drop... such an interesting time of pop discussion and new music.
Fuck yeah. Thanks!

That's a funny description, but really that should be a criticism for Yeezus.

Kendrick is more ambitious, but I think Drake COULD be the better artist if he weren't so lazy. I've never heard Lamar crystallize something quite so well as Drake does on "Marvin's Room", even if it's just an emotion, but Drake would much rather focus on saving strippers who are really "good girls", I guess. Shame.

Got damn
Much deserved and crazy numbers in 2013, better then Take Care first week if projections hold

Lol. This is like some video game shit. At least GTA V is here so he can play out his gangster fantasies all he wants.

Man this album smooth. Shame the worst song on here had to have weak ass 2-Chainz and Big Sean in it. Hope he drops it on the radio to validate it's terribleness.
The only parts of this album I don't like are the rap features, good thing they're few. It's also a good thing that he didn't let Wayne ruin any of his tracks this time around.

We are on Neogaf. No one knows what that even is outside of Evilore.
Agreed.

BTW, first time listening to the full album today, and Too Much is probably the highlight of the album, and one of Drake's very bests. That and Pound Cake/PMM2 are gonna be on repeat for awhile. I just wish I could edit out the Jay Z verse. And Hold On is still great even if it's out of place. I'd be down with a 90's inspired smooth R&B/rap crossover album from Drake.
IrishNinja
Member
yeah 90s R&B crossover would be dope, Coming Home gave me a bit've that feeling
that was my take on MCHG actually

High points of the album: Dat Puff Daddy verse from Mo Money Mo Problems in Worst Behavior, Hold On We're Going Home (amazing song) and dat Ellie Goulding's Don't Say a Word sample in Pound Cake. Surprisingly good album; haven't enjoyed Drake's music since Best I Ever Had, to be honest.

After about 3 listens, I think I like Furthest Thing, Own It, From Time (mostly the girl singing), Hold On Were Going Home, Come Thru, and All Me.
I expected more but not bad at all. 6.5,7/10
^^ loved the Ma$e verse too!!!

Didn't Aubrey give him a whole song on his album when he was basically unknown by the masses? Not to mention a feature on Kendricks most sucessful single? I'd be mad too.
Im just wondering why he wouldnt be upset that Big Sean said he would "out rap" him on verses, but mad about what Kendrick said.
