Champagne Poetry, The Remorse, 7 AM on Bridle, F***ing Fans, that's not serious? Those aren't updates on his life?

🐐

Man you know they just be talking lol

Music is much broader than being hype/serious. Drake does things Kendrick never has done and probably never will and vice versa. They're just different artists. Also just because Drake is not conscious or political, doesn't mean the music doesn't have any emotional impact. And to suddenly expect it from him feels unfair. I love both of them for different reasons.

Like @2words said "Look What You've Done" hits home for me also lots of his songs are my go-tos when I happen to feel heartbroken or something. S*** lowkey helped me survive my teenage years.

Expecting a specific type of album from an artist, just because you're in a different position and mindset in life feels unfair too. Would I like him to hear his "matured and settled" outlook on life on albums? Sure. But if it's not going to happen then so be it, sometimes I will feel it, sometimes I will not that's life. At least I still got Take Care and Nothing Was The Same that are tied to my teenage memories and I can still listen to them and feel what I felt back then.

I didn’t say he wasn’t giving us updates. The point is that people say “well an artist’s music isn’t reflective of their real life”, but Drake has said several times for himself that is not the case.

Also, those moments have been very few and far between since Views, and they’re a lot more vapid and shallow then they were from SFG-Views, as someone else ITT pointed out as well

Not attacking you

But I just feel like, sometimes people just gloss over his discography and aren't really giving his discography the dive that it merits IMO because he's very much still this guy on every album

They be saying anything

Challenge:

Put this on a playlist with 5 other Drake songs

They still taking about that Drake needs to be more mature lmao

If you read what I said, my argument isn’t that he’s not giving us updates on his life.

Reading comprehension is important

Aren’t they tired of trying to prove a point that sounds delirious

It's always the same 3 people itt so nah they aren't tired

Idk who pissed Drake off for his More M’s verse but damn

And I know what I said bout bein in Vogue
But just like that R&B group from the '90s
Girl one call I'll get you in Vogue
One call you in runway shows
One call I'm sittin front row
Love that Jimmy Cooks callback

I think this is where Drake spreading himself so thin and being so prolific hurts him.

Liability off HN will be forgotten. Incredibly introspective
Champagne poetry is going to be forgotten
The Remorse is going to be forgotten
Pipe Down is going to be forgotten
7AM
Losses off DLDT

You can not like the music, but to say that he's stagnant and regressing from a source material perspective is factually just not true. He's still giving the people real life type s*** that go beyond the club and trap slaps.

And it's not even accurate.

Like I said, not liking the music is one thing.

But to say it isn't there is simply not true.

I’m not disagreeing with anything you said here.

My point was just that, as his career has progressed, he’s gotten less and less introspective and emotionally deep with each project he releases.

There are still moments here and there, but it used to be one of the main factors of his music. That’s not so much the case anymore.

It’s not necessarily a good or a bad thing, just an observation

This isn’t the argument at all. No one’s saying he “needs to be” anything. It’s just an observation

no one cares bro

the assignment for this tape with 21 wasnt to get pretentious kdot stans

no disrespect

i think its bc he had to seem beyond his years in the beginning to be interesting or captivating but now that hes already accomplished everything hes gotten lazy with his song writing.

even when hes gone through massive moments in his life in the past 4-5 years, hes barely made any music abt it. i dont think hes getting more immature, i just think he matured early for his age and then never matured anymore.

drakes like the former gifted kid

"I'm the first evеr antisocial socialite"

Tbh honest it’ll only hurt him in this silly online debates. His work put in gonna reap all the benefits and legacy when people look back.

All I’m saying is, it’s less common and more shallow than it used to be from him. You named 7 songs from 3 different projects, I can name 7 songs from one of his older albums that are more introspective with more emotional depth than most of those.

No one’s saying it’s bad, it’s just an observation

I guess people were wanting Drake to drop his 4:44 eventually. They really want Drake to drop all his hoes and get into his dad raps lol
