"Honestly, Nevermind" was released on June 17, 2022. Save for "Know Yourself" and perhaps "Jungle," it lacks that intimate translation of memories and emotions that make people feel connected to Drake as an Artist, rather than Drake as a Brand. "If You're Reading This," by contrast, is uncharacteristically and unceasingly paranoid, aggressive, and single-minded. I mean, this is a man who actually said, "Got so many chains, I feel like chain-ing Tatum."ĭrake can deliver bars, to be sure, but he's at his best when he blends those bars with moody R&B, decadent production, and melodic vocals - when he blends his narcissism with his jealousy, longing, melancholy, and regret, confronting many moods in a way that feels universal. It sees him at his most forceful and certainly his most boastful, rapping over minimal beats and industrial sounds for 17 straight songs.īut Drake didn't become Drake because he's a great rapper. Cole > Drake…."If You're Reading This It's Too Late" was released on February 13, 2015.įor those who worship Drake as a rapper, rather than a pop star, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" is the holy grail. That’s like sayin you trying to get fired from your job or don’t pay your bills cuz you’re just that sick…lolģ) “J. “I promise to treat this roof like my daughter’s and raise it”…”I’m strong enough to go to the club, or the corner bar and lift the whole liquor counter up, cuz I’m raisin the bar.” How are those strong lyrics…really someone co-sign for that?Ģ) Because Drake’s real and not pretending to be something he’s not he’s corny? We can only listen to people that are hard and from the streets? Those dude’s are all fake after the first album anyway…What the fuck does 50 or Banks or anyone thug have to say after their first album? They’re not even in the streets anymore…so isn’t that fake? Or can you guys relate to this.cuz you’re life in the hood is so tough you have time to sit in here on your computer and download this shit to put on your iPod…really? We all know bangin is retarded anyway so why does anyone with a brain wanna hear about people who are doin it. Ok, three things…without hate or retarded comments….real convo.ġ) Please tell me why em’s NEW stuff is any better than Drake’s? Em’s not afraid, for instance.
