even tho they don’t rock with each other anymore, the parallels between their careers & especially how they’re critiqued is so similar. the way so many haters keep up with everything LeBron does/says, watch all his games just to unfairly critique him & tell you how “trash” he is… it’s the same for Drake. folks ain’t even listening to the Album(s) with the mindset of actually receiving the music in full & giving a fair assessment. they were already ready to call it trash before it even dropped, & they’re the first ones to listen to the album just so they can let everybody know how “trash” they think it is. weird behavior lol
I'm so glad I put myself in a social media blackout before listening to Drake's albums. The opinions on here, in comparison to how I felt about the projects, are night and day.
There's still so much to explore, but overall, it was a very pleasant listening experience. For anybody to say that this was bad or even mid is just attempting to generate some sort of engagement.
Each of these albums is for a different demo of Drake's fan base, which is also a slight flex in that the people that were hating on him are incapable of doing something like that, unless they had him featuring on the song, ironically enough.
I know that it's good because I cannot wait to listen to this at least another 3-10 times over the next week, which is not something that many albums have done for me in the past six months, with the exception of "Octane" by Don Toliver.
(I love this outro, such a standout)
beautifully produced. the cinematography, the stark visuals, the site changes. we’re starved for authenticity in a bath of ai slop. he over delivered with fresh visuals for every song on the stream. fully welcoming us into the world of iceman.
drake ceremoniously ends the stream by placing 3 hard drives on the table. 3 albums. his work ethic is special. well done 👏🏾
The forced Drake hate era was mass psychosis.. idc..
That was some of the most unnatural, corporate / media curated shit we’ve seen in modern history.
One day they’ll do a study on that shit
Let’s be honest about what we’re watching here.
🇺🇸 330 million people, the country that put men on the moon, defeated the Nazis is now sitting on its sofa watching its president post crayon drawings of Venezuela with an American flag on it.
At least the Russians who oppose Putin have a reasonable excuse not to speak up. Siberia is cold and windows are tall. At least North Koreans can point to the very real possibility of their entire extended family being relocated to a concrete box with no heating. These are legitimate barriers to civic engagement.
What’s America’s excuse?
You can vote. You can protest. You can run for office. Nobody is sending you to a gulag. The worst thing that happens is someone calls you a name on Truth Social. And yet, there you all sit, 330 million of you, watching a man who cannot spell “Venezuela” claim it as American territory, while nodding along like this is a completely normal thing for a head of state to do.
No dictator in modern history has done more damage to the prestige of a country’s highest office than this man, and he’s done it entirely voluntarily, with access to the full resources of the American government, and a communications team that apparently just lets him post whatever falls out of his head before breakfast.
Kim Jong-un, for all his considerable faults, has never once posted a map with a flag on it and called it foreign policy.
Think about that.
