Bronsolino album is trash but I love him anyways, no matter what. He makes the best one offs. Back to Drake.

Anyone else I should check for? I'm tired of clicking around on youtube for singles - what album goes hard front to back? i'm trying to work here

If you're looking for a real hard Drake album check out So Far Gone. It's basically like a prelude to Flockavelli.

New Earl is really interesting. I like the direction he has taken with his production. Need more listens but on first listen it's a lot more coherent than doris albeit runs together more

Well Done is great, as are Saaab Stories and Blue Chips. New one hasn't done it for me, really. Seems a little bland or something in places.

Yeah I'm not really feeling Mr. Wonderful. If you want fun Bronson tracks, the stuff on his previous tapes outshines this in just about every way. Nothing here is "bad," he's just done it better before, so what's the point? His flow is becoming too predictable... some lines here have literally identical delivery to lines from previous tapes... And his attempts to try new stuff here is really miserable (what's up with the rock song?? what's up with the "sequel" to thug love story? what's up with the weird, echoey, ambient instrumental near the end?). Kind of worried that morbid-obesity-related health problems and 24/7 dabbing is sapping his creativity.

I love the three singles, but he tricked whoever paid him for the rest of the album. More power to him. I hope he keeps killing it he's one of my favorites regardless.

e: the 3 new videos are some of my favorite rap videos in forever

It really gets better with each listen, the songs really start to come to their own (on top of having the overall coherency) with it.


e: DNA is definitely the weakest track on it though.

Yup, way better album than Doris for sure. I never really went back to Doris except for a couple tracks (Burgundy, Hive, Whoah) but this one I think I'm gonna enjoy hearing all the way through. And gently caress, Mantra is just a standout track, better than anything on Doris except maybe Hive. I coulda used one or two more Vince Staples features like Doris had.

nah not really. it definitely feels like a throwaway thing. i mean the whole point of it was so he could get out of his record deal so there's a lot less care gone into it than NWTS or Take Care.

I dunno drake raps too slow for me. His albums Always feel like r and b albums and not rap albums but I also don't know anything about music.

It's actually pretty good. I think it's much better than NWTS. First half of it is awesome and the second half is just whatever. Give it a listen if you like any of Drake's music.

He gets so caught up in his SIX this and SIX that theme in the worst way possible it gets pretty old quick....and this is a guy no one believes is hard so it amplifies the eyerollability 1000x. Otherwise it's good background chill music, and the ladies love it.

And he is essentially an R&B artist that raps on occasion, so you have pretty accurately depicted him.

Drake's terrible attempt to put Toronto on the Rap map.

Think Paul Wall's third coast boasting but wayyyy worse, because at least the dirty south as a whole was pretty significant whereas Toronto is not.

Sour Soul is the album so far for me. could listen to it front to back ten times in a row

ps JR & PH7 and Chuuwee are pleased to announce news of their collaborative LP, The South Sac Mack. The project brings the German production duo together with the Sacramento spitter for 17 breezy tracks that epitomize the sound of the new West.
