ANY?

This is a bit clutching pearls

Take Care clears sorry

absolutely not lmfao. you could make an argument for rapping ability (or singing i guess but he's still not a serious singer by any definition) but nothing else here by a long shot

nothing post 2016 touches TC or NWTS in terms of artistic direction or album curation.

I genuinely think Tried Our Best Bahamas Promises Drew a Picasso are like, at minimum as good as the R&B he put out in the 2010's

Whaaaat

Tried our Best, Greedy, his R&B has been goated

ironically enough the R&B stuff is what i'm disappointed in the most with the new albums

ANY

i don't, but i'm not gonna say those tracks in particular are terrible, just on an otherwise mid to bad album. although i literally had to listen to them again to refresh my memory on em

That's cap man wtf

Tried our Best is a holy grail moment

so is greedy

what are we doing bruh

indeed, what are we doing? i'm talking about overall projects and you start talking about songs

FATD and $$$ are great

Raining in Houston
Greedy
When He's gone
Crying in Chanel

All on the same album whew

I literally am talking about the albums

FATD has a buffet of drake style songs so if we're talking Rap slanted, then yeah it's not one of his strongest

R&B? It's one of the highest peaks he's ever reached

Ditto for $$$

Ehh some of them were pretty bad ngl

But i also kinda agree with you with the nitpicking on bars and its probably why the style of bars/wordplay raps have been dying even with the rappers that are considered lyrical

I'm deaf bro but even by my deaf standards how is this a massive decline in quality?

look man you're a drake stan, i get you love everything he's done and think he's getting better and better. i like some of those songs and like i said i like some off this recent r&b project but nothing is touching his old s***, especially not on the r&b side. agree to disagree, alright? don't think this is gonna go anywhere lmao but im glad you have music from him you can so thoroughly enjoy

1h 6 pages on a Saturday night

They are telling on themselves

You cannot become a rap goat without a plethora of cleverly stupid lines.

It's part of the genius fr

These guys are experts at their craft you don't think they could come up with something better than "I get green like earth day lol"

Of course they could, but that's not the point of this s*** when you get to that level

yea i noticed that too

i didn't notice too many similes on a lot of these iceman tracks, at least not on the ones where he's really barring out a la the conductor/time and place tracks. the more trap ones sure, but i don't really fw those anyway

Sure man lol

you didn't even mention my favorite track on that whole record virginia beach

This is just pulling from the stuff I’ve been listening to the past few days man

That easily fits into this and fits into my point! I Love that record lol

this can’t be the same man who wrote look what you’ve done goddamn
