No matter who you are, it’s impossible to knock it out of the park on every occasion. Across authors, directors and even the most revered painters in history, there’s usually one body of work that can be pointed to and held as a blip in an otherwise stellar career. And unsurprisingly, hip-hop is no different.
Whether it’s Jay Z seeming like a shadow of his former self when he returned on 2007’s Kingdom Come, Method Man bowing to major label pressure and diluting his vision on Tical 0: The Prequel or Nicki Minaj’s Queen coming across as anything but the victory lap that it was intended as, the culture has a long history of witnessing talented artists fall short of the mark.

Drake's biggest strength is working against him. His ability to adapt to and always be on top of what's hot has left him without his own style to fall back on. It's hard to be original when you keep doing what everyone else is doing.
Dang...well said bro...I agree totally..the thing that kept him on top for so long, is now working against him.
I disagree because the whole Toronto sound is Drake, he can always fall back on that but the problem is the times have changed so it may be out of style now
@@MoMilly96 Drake's "sound" is a culmination of the artists he worked with from the Weeknd's House of Ballons style, which Drake popularized, he didnt create, to the Migos. "Room for improvement" had Drake sounding like a range of artist from Nickelus F to Joe Budden, he's made many styles, created by other artist, better, but there is no particular style originated by Drake.
@@St.CrimsonTweets again, he does have his own style and u just seriously brought up false info. He might’ve sounded like certain ppl but once So Far Gone dropped that was a Toronto sound. Even The Weeknd said it. His sound from House of Balloons was really Drake’s sound but more darker. Actually do ya factual research
@@MoMilly96 again Drake's "sound" is a culmination of the artists he's worked with. I don't need to dig up the plethora of poets, writers and singers that are on record having worked with him and contributed to what we the audience hears. So while you want to pin point one aspect of my comment, you have yet to disprove the fact that he never created any particular sound, here merely made it popular.
Drake's mediocre to purely bad albums come from a combination of him maybe not feeling he has anything left to prove in rap, along with embracing the popstar persona even more and doing music completely exempt from rap which we saw on "Honestly Nevermind." When you've reached the heights he has in his career, why even try? He did say "The moment I stop having fun with it I'll be done with it" and maybe it's getting to that point.
Heavily agreed. Bra literally said on Churchill Downs “i’m getting so rich my music’s not even relatable”. He KNOWS we can’t get what we once had from him so he’s just making whatever feels cool for him and his squad to swing to but that’s a very horrible mindset for him to have.
He’s so great that he’s trash -makes sense
Bruv this is pure genius
Lmao
He sucks and that’s a reach
Drake was saying that he envied how much Kendrick Lamar can take 5 years off to create an album, and honestly, I don't see why he can't. Creating a really dope album takes a lot of time, planning and a lot of personal and creative scrutiny about where to take the music next. Folks may love Drake, but sometimes, prolificacy can hurt your overall product and make it seem like you don't care that much for the outcome.
Drake was throwing shade, and Kendrick made 2 albums in that time he just didn't release the 2nd one yet.
Cause Drake can’t drop classics no more, he has to stay relevant.
@@StayBlessed47 I love how you said no more. At least you recognize he has some. Some ppl til this day be in denial
@@MoMilly96 well when you consistently dropping Dog shit level albums what do you expect.. he has more bad albums then good ones
@@MoMilly96 I think Drake is trash. He found a formula and just repeats it. I did enjoy his earlier stuff but now he sounds the same. No originality, even on this last album which sounds different but he sounds the same. He’s not on Kendrick’s level.
*I honestly think* Drake releases a slightly worse album each time - so that you latch onto his old stuff and find a new-found appreciation for it… we’ll be calling *Honestly Nevermind* a masterpiece in a couple years - when he drops an album comprised of pots and pans clanging together.
pots and pans🤣
Drake: *Dials the Director of the CIA*
"He's onto us. Secure the asset.*
i prefer authentic drums to digitally inhanced drums
Say you’re a d rider without saying you a d rider
Right? Like in 3 years I bet we get a song in which he just faintly sings “your pussy is calling my name” with shitty mixing and vocal effects layered over it
I personally love relapse - because of it's absurdity. It's absolutely off it's rocker and I just die laughing picturing Dre and Paul's faces listening to it for the first time
Talk that talk
Top 5 Em album.
Its 2022 and the fact that people are still hating Relapse is mind blowing to me.
I'd dare to say it is a top 3-5 eminem album.
@@mr.selfdestruct5845 it absolutely is top 5 100% I don't get how people can hate on relapse the only critic I see is "oH hE dID tHOsE wEiRd aCceNte ew"
Trash
Drake started a whole discussion about bad music 😂😂😂
This ain’t new. Y’all forget drake been on top for over a decade. Even Jay Z don’t hit anymore
Yall dont know music if you like drake. Yikesss
And people are saying he’s trash because he’s too good at music lol. I don’t think they realise uncreative people just run out of ideas after a while.
@@bigazTV Jay Z has his did albums, but his last one was really great
@@zeo278 ur not cool
For me, artists are human. There is no consistently perfect album run, there is no perfect record because well...who decides good/bad/perfect? I mean there are some objective qualities we DO use to determine how in general if an album is good, but at the end of the day there is the subjective part to consider.
I think HHM said it on an earlier video about Kendrick (or maybe someone else did) but...let your favorite artist be human. Let them "fail" or not do as good as you hoped and focus on the message they are trying to convey.
Except for K.dot🐐
Damn was kind of bland imo
Cyhi hasn't missed yet if you include his mixtapes in the equation
KanYe would like to speak with you 💀
idk bruh this is just a HHM L take. don't like this energy, unsub
for me, Em's relapse is one of my favourite Eminem albums, I love how its basically just a Slim Shady album, but Revival is just a bad album.
I always thought relapse was a good album too. I believe encore & revival are his worst ones
@@RealOGMudbone I Believe the same, relapse is probably my 4th favourite eminem album
Relapse is great for the mere fact it's the true "Encore" and last album by Slim Shady.
From that moment onwards Slim hung up and Eminem became the sole personality onwards.
Both albums are ass in my opinion
Revival is one of his classics
A majority of artists lost that hunger that made them great in the first place
Complacency is something we all Face tho. It's easier to attain than it is to maintain..
It’s sad because it’s clear Drake still has it. His performance on “Churchill Downs” was undeniably incredible, and not just in comparison to Harlow’s verse. Several of his other features and even his own songs have had great moments, but his consistent hit making, powerful, full bodies of work seems to be behind him.
I totally disagree. But ok
also in wait for you
@@superthon7762 his verse in Wait for u was horrendous he was barely on beat
Being decent on a couple features and making a project as good as Mr Morale are two different animals.
Do you know if he even wrote it?
Well definitely need a part 2 to this video it look like we can go so deep in depth in all the missteps in the discography from our favorite artists.
Idc relapse is a cult classic & people are just now realizing how great of an album it is. Like that album is literally so good it’s in my top 2 Of Eminem Albums
Yup. Relapse is my Fav ‘Em album. Dre killed the production.
Agreed 100%
Top3 for me, it’s a really great concept horrorcore album imo. Also the production, the flow, rhyme scheme, storytelling on that album was INSANE
No lie in 2009 I was like what is this but over the years I come to appreciate the album
It's his best.
7:36 Unpopular opinion but relapse was amazing ! With the accents he was able to bend words in ways to increase his lyrical ability. Also relapse had some bangers personally my favorite song from relapse is stay wide awake, stay wide awake also happens to be my favorite Eminem song
Not to mention Underground and all the Dre beats on the album. Relapse is AMAZING imo
Totally agree, relapse is really underrated bangers like crack a bottle, Deja vu, medicine ball etc..
Relapse is the definition of a concept album. One of the best concept albums in the history of the genre. I never understood why it was received so badly.
@@noksversion2 because people like to hate on eminem
@@rosekush6041 no people can just not like something
As bad as SB2H was, I can definitely appreciate it more now as it's aged. It's really heavy and I honestly still can't sit through the whole thing cause of the subject matter. But what I appreciate about Cudi is that he did seem to have a genuine appreciation for rock and was just making the music he needed to at the time, whereas Drake has the complete opposite problem. His attempts at "dance" music are soulless as hell, and I guarantee that he wouldn't have made it if nobody asked him to.
Everyone misses but you can't call yourself The Beatles or MJ and then don't put the effort in. I am a huge Drake stan but he is far from the greats if this is how it's gonna be from now. I know he can do more
Thing is, Hot Line Bling, One Dance, and Controlla, we’re all dope song from Drake. But they were mixed in w/ other songs and didn’t make up the entire albums. So the style switch made the songs stand out more and ya could appreciate the sound. HN being only house music just sounds repetitive. I’m sure a few of em will get mad radio and club spins which will in turn make it a success. It just makes ppl miss an older Drake, but we should accept that the run that he had was insane and not sustainable
Wrong. Those 3 songs were bullshit pop tracks to make the album bigger. Drake has been horseshit since Views and every album has gotten worse since
@@stephenventura4075 you’re insane. Views and More Life are way better than Thank me Later
Stop please, he is an artist and is allowed to experiment
Stop please, he is an artist and is allowed to experiment
Artists have to progress in their craft and sometimes the shift is rushed. That's how you get a bad album. Trust me if you working on something everyday. It cannot be bad. Just depends on how long you spent to perfect it.
Ye spent like 2 years on Flashing Lights and that’s one of my top 5 songs all time. Drake doesn’t have anything CLOSE to that kind of song.
Exactly
I hear you there as an artist you always have to reinvent your style. For all the music lovers in here please have a leap of faith and give the albums on the link below a listen. Just maybe you might be entertained. Blessings to you all.

But it’s a step below some of their classics. Given, it’s a movie tie in so I can agree with you if you don’t classify it as a core album

Y’all seriously make the absolute best videos the amount of time y’all take into each one is amazing
Eminem is another example of this, when he puts in effort he can make a great album. But in my opinion his current albums feel like he's always trying to prove something to his haters/critics often to his detriment.
At this point in my opinion Eminem really doesn't have anything else to prove ,if he wanted to he could just put out an album for the f*** of it and have fun with it .
True
Em really have nothing to prove again
I think he should get off the internet its bad for him

@@sirraldnus8590 I think he got off the internet since late 2019
The problem is that proving his haters wrong is what made the MM LP so good, but that was Slim Shady clapping against the Man and the establishment as a relative underdog.
Trying to do the same when you _are_ the establishment and your 'haters' are either fans you left behind or people who miss the Old Eminem is not going to have the same result.
Chance’s new singles are actually really good, especially highs and lows. His next album will likely be a huge improvement over The Big Day and is easily one of my most anticipated albums of the near future.
Chance is so talented we’ve always known that and I’m glad we’re seeing him come back in a different way.
He’s taking the big day’s response in a way drake has refused to ever acknowledge feedback on that way
speeding bullet 2 heaven is probably the Cudi album i go back to the most. I Dont think it would have been a 0 if he had released it under another alias.
Should’ve been a WZRD album
Yeah I really enjoyed SBTH and Passion Pain album era because it's cudi at his rawest form
@@OscarGarcia-bq6iw passion pain at least SOUNDS like cudi, he knew what he was doing. SBTH is a joke made my him when he was on drugs and didn’t give a fuck, stop acting like that shit was innovative even rock fans hated that shit
@@OscarGarcia-bq6iw this is so true, those are the two albums whose songs I go back to the most from his catalogue
Drake has perfected the art of popularisim ,to stay popular you don't have to make a great album you have to make something many people will play in different locations and Carter to the masses than a few . Kendrick dropped a dope album how many people are still playing it . expect drake album to be played at summer parties
Kendrick doesn’t make party music for the most part, he actually takes his time to create art that will resonate with people for years to come. Drakes newer music (2017 onwards) is very forgettable and won’t be remembered as fondly a decade on. His recent music is the definition of a good time not a long time
@@kingjay9929Drake now makes popular music to stay on top of charts
You don’t go to therapy everyday lol. That’s why, it’s not fast food music. It’s that deep, introspection and self reflective music. It’s not meant to bump out the whip. It’s much more intimate than that
Kendrick album was mid & drake pops more because he creates vibes
@@robertpowell2247 fam Nas has deep records that you can play in your whip, good boom bap sounds nice in a car imo
everything comes and goes. simple. New venues of hype will kill all old
Last GOOD Drake album was IYRTITL in my opinion.
That and the collab album with Future. I actually do remember some people hating on IYRTITL when it first dropped, but that changed quickly. I thought they were tripping regardless cuz that was the best Drake album I heard up until that point.
@@tiger_lord305 same here. Not as much radio play as the others but, a solid body of work nonetheless if not his best.
what about dark lane demo tapes? i think that was a solid project but not on the same level as IYRTITL
@@mxo. was that an album or a mixtape/playlist? I did like it but, didn't know how to categorize it.
@@bangemsmurf9349 its a mixtape 👌🏾
I do not understand why people take Joe Budden serious... he had ONE hit in 2003 from a movie soundtrack, that's it... that's just my personal opinion.
True but I’d say that’s one more hit than most music critics in the history of ever. He’s certainly no gospel on anything hip hop but his takes can hold weight.
Lol you think taking Joe seriously is bad? I will never understand why this channel takes people like Anthony Fantano as a genuine critic.
He's the musical equivalent of a wrestling mark.

Drakes new album is ok, Not amazing. It’s not revolutionary in music, but for him being a hip-hop artist, now putting out a full dance-house project, it’s an interesting moment.
Ummm, nobody thinks Relapse is one of Eminem’s worst albums anymore. Ppl actually put it up with some of his best.
That is true everyone seems to love it now but I’m still saying Revival > Relapse to this day. Everyone gets mad at me for it but I honestly don’t care. Relapse was so bad
@@mrq.1236 that’s cool if you like Revival over Relapse. But Relapse is just better in every single way: concept, creativity, production, skits, rhyme schemes, flows, features, album cover.
I’ll pick relapse over everything he’s done after that
Encore is Eminem’s worst album imo
@@True2ChainzLilWayne nah....curtain call
Not saying that Drake's last two albums weren't mid at best because I think they were... but it seems like everything each top artist drop gets a lot of negative feedback and very little positive feedback... and then it fades into obscurity after a couple months.
I mean no one said that about Kendrick’s new album.
no disrespect but then you may be following the wrong big artists 🤝

Drake is at the point where the only way to go is down. I think Drake would gracefully bow out if he truly felt there was an artist better than him but he's too big for any other artist to fill his shoes. And there are no other artist of that caliber on the horizon. I dont necessarily think that "Honestly Nevermind" is a bad album. But isn't a great one. Drake went from starting the wave to riding them. And there's nothing wrong with that. All the greats do. But unfortunately I don't think there's much more to do. And unfortunately unlike some other greats Drake doesn't have anyone from his ovo family tree that will carry the torch like he did for Wayne. And thats fine. But Drake should either move on to something else like movies. Or do like beyonce and go missing for a while and create the best work of his career. While I respect the fact that he is the most consistent of the artist in the trinity i do feel like he should take some time to find new inspiration. Perhaps that the price of too much success. Maybe he's too busy. Or maybe Drake just throwing stuff out there to build up to something crazy.
In Canada
He'll NEVER be Kanye
"I think Drake would gracefully bow out if he truly felt there was an artist better than him"
That in an of itself is such a profoundly dumb statement.
Drake never started a wave in his life.
"Drake went from starting the wave to riding them"-

What he need to do is release an album every couple of years do not rush have some of the people he know listen to the album and give him honest opinion

Kanye is the only rapper of his size to never have an objectively bad or even mediocre album. You might not like the gospel sound of Jesus is King, but he undeniably pulled it off well. And as for every other album he's released, they all could be reasonably considered classics.

He doesn’t care. Everyone making these videos cares more about his numbers then he does. He’s a billionaire. He is Drake. These critics need HIM to gain traction, clicks and views.

Just pure laziness from Drakes last few albums he a celebrity first artist second his persona character n clout been outshining his music for years
Why are people acting like CLB is Drake's first bad album? Views and Scorpion were hot garbage too. Drake understands he can literally put out bullshit and the masses will flock to it. An artist's legacy is dependent on project quality not commercial success.

The funniest thing I’ve seen on Twitter was people stating that “you’re too stupid to not get Drake’s new album”
SB2H is still one of my favorite albums despite the general consensus about it. He felt like screaming on an album to express himself.
Once I stopped expecting my favorite artists to recreate the same music they did before, I found it easier to enjoy their new records.
Someone said, not sure who it was, that if you want to listen to "Headlines" or "Started from the bottom" or an album like Take Care or whatever album that was good for you, THEN GO LISTEN TO THAT.
They will never recreate the same magic again. Just be present

Blame capitalism for Drake's entire discography since Views.
When you're too successful to fail and will make millions upon millions anyway, you have no incentive to try. Drake knows that all he had to adhere to a few memes and he's golden.
And acting like Honestly Nevermind was "out of his comfort zone" is laughable. Just because it's a different genre doesn't mean that it isn't the same boring and emotionally-drained singing about his emotional troubles all the while making it obvious that he's exactly the type of person who doesn't deserve love?

It's like: Why do the rappers/singers suddenly want to fall down the mountain, even though they are good on their way to climbing further? What I don't understand is, why do they even want to be so experimental if their identity is going great? Em has been disappointing me for years, which totally fucks me up, because he is one of the best of all time. But i could hear an Andre3k verse and that's even better than Em's last 4-5 albums. With Drake is like: where did his hunger go when he made TML, Take Care, NWTS, IYRTITL, etc.? That's why there is too much nostalgia in it and can't take the new projects seriously. I don't know if there will be a Drake album that can keep up with his earlier projects.
You trippin... Kamikaze?? M2BMB??? The wordplay alone from Kamikaze is crazy
@@lesegom7172 kamikaze is the only good em album past mmlp2
@@ReallyJTT M2BMB Side A not good?
@@lesegom7172 its kinda mediocre
@@ReallyJTT a surprise surprise dropping now at 5 mill sold mediocre?? You must have some very high standards
Drake is always going to chase Kanye’s level of creativity but they are on different tiers.
Yep
Everybody forget EM dropped 2 albums and RELAPSE IS FUKING FIRE if your into serial killer shit
Relapse is fire
The accent is just annoying
Relapse slander in 2022 is crazy
A bad piece of work is completely inevitable. There's not a great artist that has no taste of its own downfall. Great examples would be Kid Cudi's Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven, which was so clouded with his addiction that time but then he got sober and released better albums from there. Eminem's Revival, which was a massive letdown to the great rapper himself, because he seem to find his own sound again with the transition of his voice as he ages, but then released Kamikaze and got back to the top. Drake, on the other hand, does not even care anymore as to how people will perceive his albums. He seems to think that the albums are too genius for his audience to comprehend when in fact, it's just trash as it always is. Soon as people reach the mainstream, they think they're invincible and cannot fail (like the case of Chance The Rapper). An artist's career will always be a slope-has its highs and lows. You can't just set standard for something that's involuntarily coming.
I disagree because Drake music ain’t always been trash. Anything from 2007-2015 was top tier
@@MoMilly96 I know. But after he released In Your Feelings, things don't go it's own for Drake.
@@paulneric4298 that was in 2018
I miss the old Drake (2007 - 2015) from "ComeBack Season" to "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" . Drake sounded hungry during this Era and was proving a point and making a point on his records than him now wave- riding, stealing bars, flows and verses and him sounding zesty with 21 Savage.
Mainstream success & flopping seem interlinked... Maybe cause wide popularity over prolonged time requires too many compromises & concern for current acceptance of the artist and/or art.
If an MC keeps shit real, never chasing the charts, never giving in to label pressures, never all that concerned with comparing wallets with others, then they're far less likely to let down fans or themselves.
30yrs in, Black Thought has no flop albums.
🐐
I’ve noticed that there’s a tendency of dismissing hits/popular music because it’s simply that, “pop”. Making music that resonates with a larger audience isn’t as easy as people make it seem. If it was, then Drake himself would have another In My Feelings, God’s Plan, Nice For What, Nonstop etc.
Drake has made so many mainstream songs that weren’t even intended to be that. In all honesty, most of his hits don’t even come across as disingenuous or compromised.
what eminem said about rap sounding the same is completely false, especially because he said it in 2017. everyone in the scene during that time had their own special type of style, in terms of production, flow, and even their physical appearance
yeah i think he was looking for excuses why his album was badly received. i mean come on xxx dropped in 2017, its just utter delusion to think you had to be like everyone to be liked by everyone.
Nas - illmatic, it was written, I am, stillmatic, lost tapes, gods son, untitled, distant relatives, life is good, kings disease 1, kings disease 2 and Magic with kings disease 3 on the way. What more can that man do?
That Nas statement was some crazy shit. Even the beat selection criticism is overblown, and I feel a lot of this rests on Nastradramus, but if you go back and read the reviews to It Was Written, people were already having a problem saying he sold out for a pop sound with the trackmasters. The criticism doesn't hold up at all.
@@GuavaConQueso Exactly. The hip hop media even back in 96 has somewhat tarnished Nas in a way, because gulliable people that can't think for themselves fell for the narratives that they purposely pushed out there about Nas to elevate other rappers in the public eye to appear above him. Nas is so great that he pushed through all of that and still ends up being at the top.
@@GuavaConQueso which is crazy cuz I think it’s a legit argument that It was Written Is better then illmatic
Yea it annoys me so much, everything always goes back to Illmatic, people always compare it to Illmatic but forget to recognise an album thats even 75% as good as Illmatic is still a classic album. And Nas as you stated has plenty of incredible records, It Was Written is basically on Illmatics level, he released Stillmatic, The Lost Tapes and Gods Son back to back to back, Hip Hop is Dead and Life is Good are good listens and so far his work Hitboy has all been amazing.
@@akshaysundru482 yeah I don’t get the logic of trashing albums after illmatic “cause it’s not illmatic” like the same argument can’t be made for literally EVERY music artist that’s dropped multiple projects lol
I loved “honestly nevermind”
🤓
You guys are drastically uninformed about chance the rapper. He’s dropped a lot more than a pair of singles since his last album, and he’s also been killing every feature that he’s been on. Y’all need to relax. The big day was not that bad
this yt channels are just boring at this point. time to clean house and look for smtn new.
Imo it was but his new singles are act pretty good hopefully he can make a comeback
They can see that shit on Facebook! They can like it they can share it!
Wow chill on 50cent he had Curtis it went ,5x platinum n had I get money n ayo technology n before self destruct had baby by me both was good albums
That 'My goodness' sigh from Drake was so in character for him 😂😂😂
I actually enjoyed that Drake album tbh. But if we're gonna talk about how good Vince Staples album Big Fish Theory which combines EDM and hip-hop seamlessly with experimentation too. Yeah Right with Kendrick, SOPHIE and Flume is an example
The worst Em albums are ENCORE and REVIVAL. RELAPSE is horror core goodness that takes some time imo
Nah, I liked Encore. Relapse was weird, and I haven't heard Revival yet, but based on the reviews, I'm not sure I wanna. But I think reviews are overblown anyway so I may listen to it.
To me two worst albums are revival (except arose, river, and maybe some more 5 songs) and kamikaze (don't really feel half of it) ngl i just don't enjoy kamikaze that much, but i fk with MTBMB (especially side b), encore, and one of my favorites - relapse, easily top 4 em albums after mmlp, tes and sslp.
@@MiketheNerdRanger half the tracks are good, and the other half and not so good production, it was more so the production
Encore for sure . I had no problem with Revival . Music is subjective
*Don’t forget Kanye’s “Jesus is king” album.. it’s soo bad bruh I couldn’t believe that one of my faves of all time dropped something that’s so mediocre/bad*
*So when “Donda” was announced I was even more worried but it’s an ok record, I barely go back to it and same with “ye” tbh but these are at least bearable compared to JIK💀*
That album is not that bad its just meh what I really don't like is Yeezus how are people saying this is one of his best albums?My ears were bleeding.
Donda 1 is def a another great Project by Kanye.
@@skerion7956 i think Kanye was going for that type of sound especially that rock sound on black skinhead I liked a few songs off that album wasn’t his best but it wasn’t his worse Yeezus is def better than Jesus is king imo
@@bp2000k 🧢
That Cudi album was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Drake isn't concerned with what his past fans think. Drake is looking for new fans. That's been clear since Skorpion.
Good point but it’s not working the way it used to because everyone in the world has heard of him before now and already decided if they like him or not. Now he is just making some old fans or listeners think he’s not worth listening to anymore
Need pt 2 ASAP
Music is not the same. We don't hold the artists of today to the same standard as artists from back in the day. Music videos, performances, and songs used to be crafted so well and carefully. Everything is a joke now.
Drake need to give us a tape or a album with little to no singing THATS WHAT WE WANT
Hell yeah bro Drakes out of tune singing with auto tune is not it… sounds so boring
we need another IYRTITL.
@@ronnypooky bro I stg!!!!
@@ronnypooky if he gives you that and it’s not as good as the first one your gonna call it trash. Trap drake is good here and there not a whole Album
I fw his singing songs too so 🤷🏾
The new chance single The highs & The lows with joey badass def has a similar sound as his songs back on acid rap. I love it
Chance is making a comeback fr
Really enjoy your content on this channel man. Really cool to learn more and more about hip hop even in its present day
When you’re in a meat riding competition and Akademiks is your opponent
Honestly, Nevermind is a classic tho
relapse is straight pressure 🔥 trippin
Joe Budden is not the one to talk he wanted to be a Drake type before Pump It Up - HNM 204,000 sales - the streaming star's lowest opening-week tally for a studio album. Spotify music is free and Wackademics is worse
Last album was pretty bad but we can’t deny what he did for music in general. From Club Paradise, Take Care, NWTS and much more, he created a whole vibe that era. I’m very grateful for him.
Joe budden is a clown with zero credibility and one hit record from 20 years ago. Why do you reference his opinions?
That's a mystery to me
Because his podcast is still the most influential in hip-hop to this day.
@@thaneros meh. I’ll give joe props he’s a pioneer on the podcast front but no good hip hop opinions come from that narcissist
The last decent Drake album was Scorpion. Meaning it was better than CLB and Honestly Nevermind. Views was Drake's first bad album in my opinion. Nothing's been the same (pun intended) since he dropped Nothing Was The Same. I started to lose interest back then with his drowsy delivery on songs like Started From The Bottom. That album was at least good. If you wanna call his first two albums great I won't argue.
I thought views was his peak tbh, i thought it was such a great album. I feel like he started falling off after more life.
If You're Reading This, It's Too Late was the peak
I think some people don’t look at some of these artists great or good to begin with to make a great album.
i can't believe the artist who has always been mediocre at best is cranking out awful albums now! and he'll keep doing it!!
