Im ngl yall trippin with the "lazy" and "uninspired" s***
I don't wanna hear 35 year old Drake trying to force himself to sound like Over My Dead Body or Headlines. His current style fits where he is at in life and is natural. His rapping is so smooth now. When he's finished, it'll be dope to see how his sound matured through different eras.
Lets be honest though
The “uninspired” criticism was made up out of thin air because they couldn’t outright call the music trash without looking foolish
People were saying his rapping was “uninspired” on views and more life too
I think they were talking more about the subject matter than his flow.

Theres no such thing as uninspired subject matter. Its a baseless criticism tbh. People just needed a way to hate

No they were def talking about his flow and rapping compared to iyrtitl

Forgot to say the type of songs on there too but what I mean of an uninspired subject matter is in the context of his overall writing over the years. But again I don't personally know what everyone means by that with Views I am just speculating because he didn't seem uninspired in his rapping voice when he actually did some.

it’s a valid critique imo. I feel the same way about Em’s flow after Relapse, Wayne constantly using AutoTune from 2010-2015ish, and even Ye’s iPhone vocals. Drake had one of the best flows and rap styles for years and then switched it for the slower monotone stuff which sometimes works but other times it just makes the song feel meh

Do you think stuff like dreams money can buy and club paradise are slower monotone aswell or did it start after iyrtitl
Was this meant for CLB or Benny’s project?
Benny played this at a fest some time ago so I think this is the benny record
Energy matters, though. The lazy flow only works in certain instances and Drake relies too much on it these days (luckily he did do that on CLB and he came with energy on most on the rap songs) so when rappers who never rap with that kind of energy rap with him, their energy is way more than his and even if their lines are weaker, it'll be a more enjoyable listen. I feel that way about Wayne's verse on You Only Live Twice. He isn't saying s*** in the verse but his energy >>>> Drake and Ross' energy on the song.
This pretty much articulates my sentiment with the lazy uninspired flow. With verses on songs like 7AM on Bridle Path, Chicago Freestyle, Seeing Green, and Having Our Way he definitely can give more energy and charisma when he wants to.
He chooses not to on certain songs and verses and I feel like once and awhile the flow is cool to use but he definitely been doing it too much lately or maybe just doing it on the wrong songs? Like I absolutely did not want to hear that on the intro and outro tracks on CLB. And even though I really like this record with benny, I am disappointed he ain't rapping with a little more vigor on it.
Yeah, he’s more introspective these days with his delivery.
Almost as if… he’s aged

this one of the worst beats of the year bruh lol
I don't think it's a bad beat but like most beats Drake been rapping on lately it definitely should have had more to it. I shouldn't feel like Drake is rapping on YouTube beats.
Song sounded better yesterday. Not a really fan of tbe production. They still gassed though.

Yeah this not a track I will go back to a lot. Still dope verses

I don't know if it's the mix or what but its hard to hear what they were trying to do with the beat
And also the verses were great but i kinda felt like it was for two different songs.

LMAO it started with Views
