HNVM reception definitely got to him

Sucks because I loved that album

I aint liked it neither but that's not my favorite type of house (mr fingers type beat ju herrrrd) but I see the potential.

I was personally wanting an album full of passionfruits

What does a great Drake song look like for you? Genuine question

His raps on SH3 are basically s*** that people who are into underground rap would stan, Earl, Freddie, Griselda etc

But since it's Drake it's different? Idk

For sure, the potential is what intrigued me as well, and I think “Liability” was the best song he made in years

All those people you named also just do that type of lane better than Drake does.

Drake is a very great rapper that is good at a lot of things.

Has he ever been the most lyrical rapper in the game where he can hold a candle to an Earl or any of the underground guys??????

If I genuinely reply to this post the thread is gonna go to s*** so I'm good lmao.

Yall stan Champagne Poetry but not Middle Of The Ocean or The Remorse

Play the weedplate that is Scorpion and scroll to 8 Out of 10 real quick

also honorable mention:

^ highlighting bro gotta better his production that modern trap style been weighing thin

I mean you can answer with your honesty

but you gotta show proof that drake is more lyrical than earl

It’s not like I’m discrediting it cuz it’s Drake.

It’s cuz it’s Drake it’s actually different, his writing on there is not on the level of Earl or a Mach Hommy and I think just cuz he’s doing it over “dusty” beats means fans of those artists have to eat it up.

With that being said my favorite rappity rap Drake songs have always been Jodeci Freestlyle and 4 PM In Calabas.

The punchlines, set ups and wordplay on those songs have always been my favorite cuz he’s talking fly s*** without the lyricism coming off as forced or anything.

“ Your money is just a little Barney's Co-Op for you to be trynna show out
I'm in your girl's ear planting seeds like a grow-op
We move the operation to Cali soon as the snow drop
Oh stop, please stop arguin' 'bout who's the best MC
I think everyone would agree, they know that you're not
I know I'm a sure shot, middle finger poking you in your sore spot”

Just sounds natural coming from him as opposed to

“ Niggas think it's sweet, but I am not a diabetic patient
No
I will start blackin' over here like it's segregation
I will f***in' double-cross you niggas like it's meditation
I'll give you a hard pill to swallow, this your medication
I will f***in' pop up on your ass like a revelation
I could tell you better than I show you, this a demonstration
I will f***in' leave you in the dirt like some vegetation”

Earl just be rapping random words in a monotone voice and redditors lose their minds

Doritos cheetos and fritos ass mf

Middle Of The Ocean is way better than Champagne Poetry

this hasn't been true in about a decade crodie

love this big sean song

Pedal to the metal
Lost footin', it was sugar in my gas tank
My cushion was a bosom on bad days
It's not a black woman I can't thank
rapping random words?

Every Earl verse just sounds like a diet MF DOOM verse to me

DLDT track 1-4

Nigga be having it, but then decides to just…idk lose it?

mans said himself he stopped listening after Doris. He literally speaking on people he doesn't know. But he wanna act offended when those are his own words lol

I be with Mike and Med (Mike, Med)
Nowadays I be with Sage and with Six, press, ya dig? (Press)
I'm in L.A. with Glen, please come and claim ya kid
I cannot play with them (Yeah, yeah, uh, whoa)
Let's try a different approach out
I celebrate with a toast

This is amazing but Drake is weak?

This is like entry level bars

Ahhhh don't do me like these other corny ass posters itt lmao. Just cause I stopped playing earl heavily after Doris doesn't mean I don't know what he's on atm

Niggas that write raps down and think how they look aesthetically equates to how good the rapping is make me sick

Just say my name and I promise that you'll see Candyman

I mean we can copy and paste the weakest bars respectfully of every rapper (i dont think you wanna do that defending drake)

tell me what does drake have better than a December 24?

Bang like two mallets, too callous for your b**** taste
'Member when they had my grandmammy on a drip drink
How much of that gin straight? Could have filled a fish tank
My doggy hit my cell, say he got me off the strength
Ask him, "That's just how it is?" say
"You die and then you live, huh?"
Your heart and then your limbs break
Just catch me when I slip, bro

SRS/and Earl's new style in general bro actually simplified his lyrical miracle earlier flow to be more personal and introspective and less edge lordy like he was in the EARL and Doris days.

there's more introspection and self-awareness in SRS than in any drake album post NWTS if we really wanna take it there (and I can take it further)
