people gonna disagree with this video but i gotta say thank you cause I love this album. not just like it I LOVE IT. everything from A Keeper to the end of the album is 9-10/10 for me. honestly only major issue with the album was starting it with Falling Back.
I absolutely hated this album but it’s really interesting to hear the perspective of someone who enjoyed the album but also isn’t a blind Drake meat rider. Respect bro
people need to let artists create their dumb ideas they have at 3 am taking a shit just cause they think the vibe or the separated something they want to create is worth it to them, not the same shit everyone expects. sometimes not everyone wants to create ultimate masterpieces, just something to vibe to
Here’s my biggest take on this. I don’t like this album. But I feel like this is the most ambitious attempt from Drake in the past seven years. I have to applaud him for that at least
It's all subjective, though. The reason why I still like this new Drake sound that started around Dark Lane Demo Tapes is that he's just doing what he wants and the music sort of reflects that, for better or for worse. I still do want him to give his all on another album again, but I'm a fan of this sound for the time being at least. Don't get me wrong, though. I definitely can understand why people dislike this new Drake era especially in the context of his discography.
Drake is a talented artist where he doesn’t even try and still sells millions of copies. I wish he took it more seriously. His new music is dogshit, but I love his older work like NWTS, what a time to be alive and IYRTITL. He can do that still. Maybe the 21 album will smack
It’s cool when you make vids like this from when you became a fan to where you are currently. In this “some opinions are wrong” era it’s important to remember all music is subjective. If you like it good, if not, still good! Personally I think the album is ok but not completely bad (I’m talkin to you Scorpion 👀) Idk if “Her Loss” will knock Honestly Nevermind outta the Top 5 but hope it’s great. Again, love the long form videos as much as the short ones!
I disagree with you about IYRTITL. I think he “doesn’t sound like himself” because that was a moment for him where he had a lot of clarity and maturity as an artist. I hear that record and think of it as the peak of Drake, because he’s still exploring lots of interesting ideas, they’re just of a different breed than what he explored before and since. Also, 10 Bands and Energy feel like very distinct songs to me, and even if it just comes down to the lyrics, I think that they’re still very worthwhile Drake bangers.
i can't believe i've still haven't seen anyone even acknowledge the intro anywhere. i get it's just an intro and less than a minute long, but it's weirdly one of my favorite drake tracks that i've heard. it sets an amazing vibe and i only wish the rest of the album followed that vibe more closely.
When I was younger, I was the kind of guy that hated Drake because everyone hated Drake. As I got older, and listened to his music, all thanks to my brother, I realized he actually had some decent music. Then i finally listened to Passionfruit, and hot take, that is one of the greatest songs ever made. I love vibey Drake music. I love this album. I was never a huge fan of rapping Drake, and I had this album on repeat when it came out.
Personally, passion fruit is much better than the majority of the album. Rapping Drake (especially classic rapping Drake) has always been my favorite, but I also like the R&B side of him too. Nevertheless, I thought the album was mediocre, but fine for background music for a pool party or something.
Might be psychopathic behavior but to me Honestly Nevermind is drake’s ye (2018). Both way shorter than their more recently often bloated albums, both have a more laid back and relaxed vibe with a new style for the artist, and both have some absolute bangers and a few songs I never wanna hear again in my life. Both even have a collab with an artist they then went on to drop an album with in the same calendar year (21 and Kid Cudi). I know messaging-wise they couldn’t be more separate, but for some reason I thought of ye (2018) on my first listen of Honestly Nevermind and I now have some weird link of the two in my head. Great vid!
Glad to see that you enjoy the record, I still majorly dislike it but it's really refreshing to hear new takes on this album and Drake's music as a whole. I still love Drake's run of albums from 2011 to 2015 but since then I've never fully enjoyed a Drake record aside from maybe one EP, and every time news gets around that Drake is dropping it's always an eye-roller for me, it sucks because because I've gotten used to being disappointed by Drake but that stretch of albums I mentioned will always be important to me especially.
The problem with people nowadays is that we think that we all have to agree on everything. If you don’t like something go on about your day, you don’t have to try and recruit people to hate with you. We’re all different.
i'm iffy on this album. it has some serious highs like Massive, Jimmy Cooks and A Keeper which were constantly on my speaker during the summer but it was bogged down by tracks like Texts Go Green, Calling My Name, etc. i hope he does more work with this sound especially with Black Coffee.
The best thing is that for me your reviews have the same weight as other music critics that didn’t like this album have. I didn’t like it either but you being the only music critic i know (besides from nathan zed), that really liked this album, IS GREAT. *sorry for my english You’re amazing ruff.
Tbh as someone who didn't have much of a connection to drake and just checked it out to clown on it, i LOVED the album. I think it's one of those that is less about individual catchy songs and more about this lofi, kinda eerie, very nocturnal vibe that the whole thing has. I also think the more sparse sounding beats made all his lyrics, even when they were very corny, a bit more sympathetic? He sounds genuinely sad and conflicted about this relationship and fame, without really changing his delivery from other records like clb, i coule empathize a bit more with them. The fact it's a such an unexpected and uncommercial career turn only makes it better for me
I enjoy these longer videos. Your vid on Whole Lotta Red got me to listen to it from a different viewpoint (listen point?) and I wound up listening to it on repeat for weeks after. Gonna try this now!
Cool vid, Ruff. Personally, I really didn't like this album, as while there were some cool elements, (Massive had a good beat, and Jimmy Cooks had an awesome verse transition), it was overall really boring and mediocre, with most of the tracks feeling the same. Glad you enjoyed it though! Also, I'd love to see you review The Occasion by The Astronomers when it comes out.
Great vid. Never really been into drake, but the groove is just there! Not really explain-able, but this vid is pretty validating if nothing else. Haha, nice work
Massive (👀) respect for this, I started listening to Drake because I laughed at him. But after the giggles I hear some really good music, then I got sucked in and now I think honestly nevermind is one of the best albuma ever. Currents is a joke kind of song and I think he knew it when he put it out. Love your videos btw, think you have a great ear!🦉
the reaction to this album reminds me of the reaction to WLR. people like to put artists into neat little boxes and see experimentation as a negative. people kept (rightfully) calling drake lazy for releasing a generic mixtape album in CLB but then went on to flame him for doing a tight concept house album. one of the most popular mainstream rappers in the world going into a completely new direction for a whole project should be encouraged and respected even if the result wasnt good. but.. it is. thanks for making this review
Great video as always! The reaction to this album was insane to watch live. I honestly did not think it was as bad as some people said it was and I feel like a lot of people just fell victim to the internet hate culture. That aside, I think it’s a very weird take by some to say that this is an album where Drake takes no risks. IMO, he takes a BIG risk here by making it completely dance with the exception of the last two tracks. If anything, his previous two albums were the ones without risk taking. With the exception of a handful of tracks, they sound very generic and copy paste for Drake. With Honestly NVM, while the lyrics leave much to be desired for, it is a short and concise listen that I think fits perfectly in the background for ambience and vibes. I hope this marks a new era for Drake. He’s one of the biggest artists in the world and he really doesn’t need to put out bloated albums to soak up streams because he’s going to get played regardless of how short or long his albums are. I hope he continues to experiment, and I hope Her Loss is a great listen. Love me some 21 Savage
I genuinely really respect you for saying this. My personal opinion differs, but hearing your perspective makes me want to reposted to Thank Me Later and Take Care. Views also got some love from the NFR podcast recently so maybe I should relisten to that too. I’m glad you could enjoy Honestly Nevermind, despite me not being able to take it seriously, it’s so inspiring to hear someone with a down to earth opinion not trying to say something grand. Mad Respect Ruff ❤
Okay, okay, so, I thought this album was very meh on first, second, and third listen. By three tries I was ready to accept that it was an interesting but undercooked experiment. And then I heard massive while I was out partying with my friends, and now whenever I hear it I think back on that moment and the shit we did that summer. So now, I don’t like the album in the way that I like NWTS or IYRTITL, but I appreciate it because on songs like massive or sticky or falling back there’s some actual emotion and he feels more like the guy that gave us Feel no Ways or Passionfruit. And after CLB, that was a pretty welcome change. So, ruff, yeah, it’s probably not an objectively good album, but it made me feel things too
12:40 that's a really interesting comparison because Yeezus was one of the albums I first had in my car. I was already a Death Grips fan and didn't really understand the comparisons at the time. Clearly that kind of music was an influence but I saw Yeezus as distinct from that. It was clear he wasn't trying as hard lyrically by then so I didn't see the albums on the same plane. Sonically however it really appealed to me. Maybe since I listened to both Yeezus and the few DG albums out at the time so much that I became so familiar with the unique sounds of each.
Broooooo. I’ve been hating on drake forever. But you put it perfectly. I’m a drake hater but I genuinely enjoyed this more than others. G shit. Yodie gang YUHHHH
It's funny I really liked Scorpion when it came out cuz I was in a break up and it was something new to latch onto. Then years later came back and couldn't understand what I saw in it, but out of some respect for who I was at the time I still hold onto an understanding with that album. Honestly Nevermind had no such hook for me. It came and went. But giving it a once over now, yeah it's not terrible like people want to make it. Just if I want dance music, I go full bore and get out some festival-crushing basshead shit that could collapse a frail raver's ribcage mid shuffle. And Drake's project just fits into the category of 'Lofi Canadian Beats to Hot Tub/Draw a Bath To" And I just don't draw baths anymore. I will say Massive and Overdrive could stay in my driving rotation at a minimum.
1. Thanks for highlighting Diplomatic Immunity. Preferred it to God's plan since they both came out, but knew the latter was gonna be popular instantly. 2. Worked in a nightclub over summer: can confirm that massive goes off. 3. Off topic in case you actually read this one: have you listened to Hugo by Loyle Carner? It is great; please do.
I respect your opinion, but honestly the album is very mediocre to me at best. If anything, your least favorite Drake album (CLB) has grown on me significantly and now I really enjoy THAT one. Honestly Nvm: Decent 6/10 Top 5 songs: 5. Texts Go Green: Strong 7/10 4. Currents: Light 8/10 3. Overdrive: Light to Decent 8/10 2. Liability: Strong 8/10 1. Jimmy Cooks: Strong 8/10 to Light 9/10
I honestly didn’t mind this album, a solid 6.5/10 for me. Really high highs but low lows as well. Definitely got some great tracks here tho (Liability, Massive, A keeper, Jimmy cooks, sticky, etc.)
so 15:15, drake stated in his sound 42 that he didn't want to open twitter or social media after dropping the album because he made the album only because he wanted to
I always had the mindset of "there no bad music I'm just the wrong audience cause even the goofiest of songs could make someone happy,I'm not a dance person and my favorite rapper makes music on a whole opposite end if the spectrum to drake (its Earl) so simple stuff like that can lead people to say it's a bad album Or they just bandwagoning
The main thing about this album that I dislike is Drake’s vocal style, which has been sounding more over-processed in recent years than it used to. The way his vocals are edited doesn’t sound natural, but it also doesn’t sound so blatantly autotuned that you’re supposed to notice it like you would for someone like Travis Scott. Instead he sounds like someone who actually can’t sing anymore but is trying to convince you he can with all these slight tweaks and manipulations, but the end result sounds cheap to me.
as a big drake fan, I absolutely agree that nwts was his peak. however, I started getting disappointed when views came out. i love some songs on it but overall, I think its still the start of him doing the same thing over and over again
I did like honestly nevermind, but didnt absolutely love it. But i do love that he is starting to do something different again. I hope he gets off the complacency track and starts being experimental again despite the lukewarm response it may get
Personally I thought Honestly, Nevermind was an improvement after CLB, purely on the virtue of being shorter than the last three Drake albums. Massive, Overdrive, Down Hill, Jimmy Cooks are all nice tracks. And also, I have to appreciate Drake for being willing to chase different sounds even if he would sound corny doing those sounds. The fear of being corny is too prevalent in hip-hop. (Even though Drake clearly decided to do a house album in order to beat Beyoncé to the punch, seriously, RENAISSANCE is so good)
I'm not a fan of career overview reviews that seem to be popular lately, but it's an OK review for me who'll never be a fan on Drake, and I never would cause I have my intuition that would never allow me to listen to pop performers that could possibly come up with two songs that sound the same. They all sound too cheap. I never even recall hearing him on the radio how cheap that sounds. He's like producing Timbaland beats in 2022. Not good.
If half the songs were half the length then I would like it a lot more. Fall back and Texts go Green are way too long and immediately kill the vibe of the album
Take care man if your reading its too late because nothing will be the same this was my last care package your too far gone so thank me later when i show you my views theres more to life than this you just hurt me more than scorpion venom. but honesltly nevermind.
I think you said everything that could've been said. Drake has lost his signature style and seems like he's been on the bandwagon of rap styles. I think he's become corny with the last 5-6 album releases.
people gonna disagree with this video but i gotta say thank you cause I love this album. not just like it I LOVE IT.
everything from A Keeper to the end of the album is 9-10/10 for me. honestly only major issue with the album was starting it with Falling Back.
Yessir, my favorite from Drake in a while! Great to hear from you Nathan, hope you’re doing well!
Holy shit, Nathan Zed
Wait is this a crossover episode??
Me too, I really love it

Generally yes! And versatility done well requires effort

Idk if “Her Loss” will knock Honestly Nevermind outta the Top 5 but hope it’s great. Again, love the long form videos as much as the short ones!

I wish more people understood that music is subjective. I don’t think there’s such a thing as “good music”
I disagree with you about IYRTITL. I think he “doesn’t sound like himself” because that was a moment for him where he had a lot of clarity and maturity as an artist.

yes!! cece's interlude, cameras, connect, come thru, crew love, shot for me, (to a certain extent, doesnt count) buried alive interlude, etc
I really liked IYRTITL and I always regard it as Drake’s best project. It’s a perfect mix of angry rapping Drake and melodic Drake.
Might be psychopathic behavior but to me Honestly Nevermind is drake’s ye (2018).
Both way shorter than their more recently often bloated albums, both have a more laid back and relaxed vibe with a new style for the artist, and both have some absolute bangers and a few songs I never wanna hear again in my life.

Wow, those are some dots I never thought to connect! Some interesting parallels there but yeah, very different albums thematically 💽
I feel vindicated. This album has been on rotation for me still. My man 🤝

Thanks for this video. I like hearing your takes, your video like this around WLR got be to give it a chance, gon give this a couple listens

12:40 that's a really interesting comparison because Yeezus was one of the albums I first had in my car. I was already a Death Grips fan and didn't really understand the comparisons at the time. Clearly that kind of music was an influence but I saw Yeezus as distinct from that. It was clear he wasn't trying as hard lyrically by then so I didn't see the albums on the same plane.

I Completely Agree With Your Views From The 6
I’m glad I’m not the only person who liked this album a lot
I think that “Her Loss” is going to be the rap Drake that you described
Broooooo. I’ve been hating on drake forever. But you put it perfectly. I’m a drake hater but I genuinely enjoyed this more than others. G shit. Yodie gang YUHHHH
I love CLB but HNVM is wayyyyy more enjoyable and has more replay value because of the smooth beats 😫
It's funny I really liked Scorpion when it came out cuz I was in a break up and it was something new to latch onto. Then years later came back and couldn't understand what I saw in it, but out of some respect for who I was at the time I still hold onto an understanding with that album.
Honestly Nevermind had no such hook for me. It came and went. But giving it a once over now, yeah it's not terrible like people want to make it. Just if I want dance music, I go full bore and get out some festival-crushing basshead shit that could collapse a frail raver's ribcage mid shuffle. And Drake's project just fits into the category of 'Lofi Canadian Beats to Hot Tub/Draw a Bath To" And I just don't draw baths anymore.
I will say Massive and Overdrive could stay in my driving rotation at a minimum.
wish you had talked more about more life. his best album imo
Crazy how Drake dropped a tape full of Tekken 5 fight music
I still have this album in rotation even if it isn’t his best. I appreciate some the house elements he worked with.
1. Thanks for highlighting Diplomatic Immunity. Preferred it to God's plan since they both came out, but knew the latter was gonna be popular instantly.
2. Worked in a nightclub over summer: can confirm that massive goes off.
3. Off topic in case you actually read this one: have you listened to Hugo by Loyle Carner? It is great; please do.
Ty for good content as always (this album was OK but gave me the overwhelming urge to just put on some duck sauce instead)
Ruff you’ve convinced me to give it a relisten. I’ll be back in an hour
I just relistened to it on a fresh pair of good quality headphones, I get it now, how do people shit talk this album
😲
personally drake's vibe feels like taking an aphrodisiac after a thanksgiving meal.
down hill is honestly one of my favorite songs of the year
You don’t know how difficult it is to find some “Down Hill” appreciation. My favourite track on the Album.
I got drunk before listening and that shit brought me to tears
I like these videos, Kanye and Drake going thru it right now :(
15:57 😭😂 this is so true for Ye, but I’m gonna leave it at that
I loved it too
Now I’m confused, how old is Mr. Ruff Criminal?
love honestly nevermind and If you're reading this too but i can see where you're coming from. more life is amazing tho
amazing video btw
I respect your opinion, but honestly the album is very mediocre to me at best. If anything, your least favorite Drake album (CLB) has grown on me significantly and now I really enjoy THAT one.
Honestly Nvm: Decent 6/10
Top 5 songs:
5. Texts Go Green: Strong 7/10
4. Currents: Light 8/10
3. Overdrive: Light to Decent 8/10
2. Liability: Strong 8/10
1. Jimmy Cooks: Strong 8/10 to Light 9/10
I love this album
This is what’s up, rock your shit king 🎶🕺🎧
i loved this record as well
I haven't listened to this album yet, just didn't want to bother, however, after this video I think I'll give it a spin or two.
im praying that kanye can get that speed run record asap 🙏😭
This might be the first time I’ve ever heard someone say they don’t like IYRTITL. For me it’s top 2 with NWTS.
If you want more of that Production listen to Black Coffee(DJ/Producer)
I honestly didn’t mind this album, a solid 6.5/10 for me. Really high highs but low lows as well. Definitely got some great tracks here tho (Liability, Massive, A keeper, Jimmy cooks, sticky, etc.)
Review Logic Under Pressure
15:56 Ruff what song is that in the background when you play the Ye slide?
Overdrive!
so 15:15, drake stated in his sound 42 that he didn't want to open twitter or social media after dropping the album because he made the album only because he wanted to
I love the album too 😊
Love me a good ole car CD
Acid rap and Sports by Modern Baseball for me
even though this album is absolute ass i always appreciate your pov and insight
I always had the mindset of "there no bad music I'm just the wrong audience cause even the goofiest of songs could make someone happy,I'm not a dance person and my favorite rapper makes music on a whole opposite end if the spectrum to drake (its Earl) so simple stuff like that can lead people to say it's a bad album
Or they just bandwagoning
No matter how long the vid you make each second count
The main thing about this album that I dislike is Drake’s vocal style, which has been sounding more over-processed in recent years than it used to.
The way his vocals are edited doesn’t sound natural, but it also doesn’t sound so blatantly autotuned that you’re supposed to notice it like you would for someone like Travis Scott.
Instead he sounds like someone who actually can’t sing anymore but is trying to convince you he can with all these slight tweaks and manipulations, but the end result sounds cheap to me.
it’s funny because i hate 10 bands but love energy
as a big drake fan, I absolutely agree that nwts was his peak. however, I started getting disappointed when views came out. i love some songs on it but overall, I think its still the start of him doing the same thing over and over again
I did like honestly nevermind, but didnt absolutely love it. But i do love that he is starting to do something different again. I hope he gets off the complacency track and starts being experimental again despite the lukewarm response it may get
his 'goofiness' is what I loved the most about him. he really doesnt mind laughing at himself.
Although I disagree with you, I appreciate this video
Nah
Come on, let Ruff enjoy his Drake album.
A RUFF TING
Personally I thought Honestly, Nevermind was an improvement after CLB, purely on the virtue of being shorter than the last three Drake albums. Massive, Overdrive, Down Hill, Jimmy Cooks are all nice tracks.
And also, I have to appreciate Drake for being willing to chase different sounds even if he would sound corny doing those sounds. The fear of being corny is too prevalent in hip-hop.
(Even though Drake clearly decided to do a house album in order to beat Beyoncé to the punch, seriously, RENAISSANCE is so good)
It was NOT clear that he “decided” to do it because of Beyoncé. You’re not an insider, stop assuming.
I agree
Was really question if this satire or not, but he really just be H&Ming
I'm not a fan of career overview reviews that seem to be popular lately, but it's an OK review for me who'll never be a fan on Drake, and I never would cause I have my intuition that would never allow me to listen to pop performers that could possibly come up with two songs that sound the same. They all sound too cheap. I never even recall hearing him on the radio how cheap that sounds. He's like producing Timbaland beats in 2022. Not good.
If half the songs were half the length then I would like it a lot more. Fall back and Texts go Green are way too long and immediately kill the vibe of the album
Nahhh I ain't watchin 17 minutes of a guy trying to tell me this shit is good
lol no way you would cut out hotline bling
Day 6 of asking for No Love Deep Web
17 minutes for what? Just call it mid
bruh i cannot believe you give this album such high praise for being kind of a chill vibe and for taking a risk, the risk did not pan out.
Take care man if your reading its too late because nothing will be the same this was my last care package your too far gone so thank me later when i show you my views theres more to life than this you just hurt me more than scorpion venom. but honesltly nevermind.
yea yea dababy
I think you said everything that could've been said. Drake has lost his signature style and seems like he's been on the bandwagon of rap styles. I think he's become corny with the last 5-6 album releases.
No
You need gps to find her o that was your girl I thought I recognized her lol.
I'm conflicted, because I enjoy the content, but the mixing and mastering on this project is about as bad as RHCP's "Californication"
currents was the moment i became a drake fan
You have the consistantly worst takes on Drake but I respect it.
toosie slide is drakes best song
Welcome to the 1% who like Honestly, Nevermind 🫂
I love that Album
