Redditor breaks down ICEMAN, how the sequencing that Drake used for tracks is not given enough credit and paints a story. The Make Them series are the pillars throughout the album each with different objectives. 🧊
we replaced metaphor, simile, double entendres, homophones, and internal rhyme with adlibs and onomatopoeia😩 while there’s room for both, lyricism got shelved. and that’s why Drake is light years ahead of his colleagues, he understands the balance and he’s extremely literate!
I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.
N3on was surprised by how smart LaVar Ball is after hearing his plan to open three different restaurants, each named after one of his sons with a different cuisine 😭
“Melos for burgers, a Mexican place called Lonzos, & a nice Italian steakhouse called LiAngelos.”
Adrien Broner went OFF on DeenTheGreat, calling out what he says is Deen's lack of work ethic. 😳
AB claims Deen mixes partying with boxing, doesn't put in enough gym time, doesn't run enough miles, and asks for guidance without fully committing to the work.
Broner also says that attitude led to them getting kicked out of one of his coach's gyms.
