EverythingHer Loss doesn't sound fundamentally different to Drake's other recent solo s***. $$$4U is just a long form version of the r&b cuts Drake already puts on his solo s***. He's using the same flows, songwriting, and beats for 95% of the projects lol
Honestly Nevermind is a great example of the s*** he should be doing
So which artists are doing this? Ye stopped doing it in 2018, Kendrick hasn't with GNX, Cole has never done this in his whole career. The Weeknd last did it 5 years ago with AH

Zack From The SixI just mentioned 3 completely different albums in terms of sound
Her Loss - rap, his usual
Honestly Nevermind - House album
$$$4U - R&B albumHis competitors can pull this off
Except $$$4U and Her Loss are just... stuff he's already done on his other projects. He's not doing some new Drake take on r&b, he's making the same r&b he's been making for a decade...
Mar 7, 2025and yet he will be my top listened to artist in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028
think the only time drake wasnt my top listened to artist was 2019 YB took the #1 from him on my AM replay

that's crazy standards man, no artist is doing that s*** regularly
Mar 7, 2025Zack From The SixLike why do you have to spell things out to people, use your f***ing brain
They are talking about the lyrics. Do you think Honestly Nevermind, the house album, sounds the same as $$$4U the R&B album that sounds the same as the rap album Her Loss? No you f***ing idiot, but the person thinks the lyrics are the same. Which is the exact same thing - no, actually FAR WORSE - with Carti
i will say production wise they’re all pretty indebted to each other. same sound palette on each of those albums
Mar 7, 2025This s*** got 13 pages man lmao

i don’t think that’s true lots of artists heavily reinvent their sound?

Do you think before you type?
Oh it's just R&B
Oh it's just house music
Oh it's just rapYes that's the exact point. He can excel in any genre
Let's see Kendrick trying to sing on an entire album or Travis

Ye is still doing it even if the music stinks lol.
Carti is doing it.
GNX is dogshit, Kendrick has the same problem as of late regardless.
Thug was doing it inconsistently
If you extend outside of hip hop/mainstream hip hop you can see prominent examples everywhere. Twigs has been doing it for years

what mainstream artists are doing that regularly though

i mean if you want to get real lot of the same synths lot of the same drums lot of the same 808s on most of his output.

carti, kanye, kendrick to an extent (im not a stan i don’t care about stan wars, just damn sounds hella different than tpab)

MakaveliThaDonshe aint lyin, his fans wont love hearing it tho.
drake has been recycling content at best since scorpion
Its like he can't stop making playlist-like albums.

toooons of rock artists if we want to go into that realm
toooons of electronic artists
frank sounds different with every album. the weekend isn’t a great example but there are definitely albums where his sound takes a left turn

I think you're not understanding lol. None of that is new to Drake. Genres are meaningless. He does all those sounds in the same copy-paste format for years now. Cool, he's singing... but he already made those r&b cuts 1000 times and they sound the f***in same. Frank Ocean is a soul/pop/r&b artist but all 4 of his projects all sound absolutely nothing like each other. They aren't full of songs he's made before, just now with a different title. He reinvented himself with each release even if they were all the same genre.
Look at Carti. He only makes rap, but none of his albums he's making the same rap songs lol

still some good songs here and there though

also the exact same melodies are on all of those “genre cuts”
- Mar 7, 2025
although to be fair some of the blame for this rests on his producers too. 40’s not really sounding that groundbreaking and original anymore
- Mar 7, 2025·1 replyMark Moschino

Exactly. Same melodies, same songwriting, same production. It sounds like he's at work, doing the same s*** that works. Cool for him, but damn... shouldn't we want more?

Does the model of Drake dropping all the music he makes for his fans or the model of Frank and Carti who rarely drop and essentially starve their fans make for a more enjoyable experience tho? For the fans of those artists at least

but like for the house example. he’s not making real house you would play in a set, he’s making pop music with a house-feel which you could argue is already within his wheelhouse
Mar 7, 2025Same Stale Songs 4 U

Frank made a soul/r&b album with barely any drums and made an all timer.
Can you imagine Drake doing some s*** like this man

threads like this are so funny cause i feel like we’re all acknowledging he’s talented just one side wants him to try new things
