As a South African this album is very underwhelming because it shares beats and sounds from House songs we used to listen to in the mid 2000s and early 2010s. The only reason we hyped it up was because of the Executive Producer (Black Coffee) being one of our own

Drakes biggest problem right now is he's suffering from success. He's living in an era he helped define and has no artistic or financial incentives to change anything. I don't think this a bad project by any means. And I even think he took a few risk on this. But even his risk feel safe. Even him crooning over house beats somehow sounds familiar. The Drake pocket is so pronounced that he could literally do this shit over Taylor Swift records and it'll sound like he's been doing it his whole career. I don't hate the record I just think Drake needs some real time away. No features, no loosies just real pronounced time away to gain new perspectives.

Growing up in Chicago, I've been around house music all my life. This just wasn't it bruh. No matter how much y'all stans try to defend this. No one is taking away from him trying something different. No one is hating on it just because he isn't rapping. A lot of people just don't enjoy the music sonically. Some of the beats are dope and some of these songs would absolutely slap if Drake had more vocal range. But instead he gives us 12 songs (oustide of Sticky and Jimmy Cooks) using the same dry ass, robotic, boring ass tone. No emotion. Some of the beats were very empty to the point that the music itself was sleep-inducing. THAT'S why there is a lot of issues with it. Look up Frankie Knuckles, Black Coffee, Mr. Fingers, Aly Us...That's house. This was a bad attempt at emulating it. Also to clarify, I like Drake's music and have checked in on every mixtape/album since "So Far Gone". There are songs that I fuck with and songs that I don't go back to. Outside of "Jimmy Cooks" I don't have a reason to ever go back to this shit.

I appreciate Drake finally taking a risk in what feels like a decade. But the quality wasn’t there for me. It just sounds rushed and slapped together in a week or something. No problem with the sound he’s trying out, but let it cook in the studio for a year or so to get a fully fleshed out product. But it seems like even Drake isn’t taking this project seriously. This doesn’t give him a pass tho, it’s still bad imo. He should really take a break from music and take his time with his next project.

Drake honestly really impresses me with how he has constantly dropped mid-albums upon mid-album since 2016 that you start to appreciate the previous Drake project that you thought you despised. Honestly, Nevermind is an album that I don't know why Drake dropped a "House" album. and for the people who say "Drake does something different and people don't like it." My thing with that is that i don't mind Drake or any artists doing something new with his albums. Kanye has consistently done something new with his albums (we're never gonna get an 808s Part 2, an MBDTF Part 2, a Yeezus Part 2, or even a TLOP Part 2) and he do it very dang well. Drake's House album isn't even good House music. If I wanna listen to House Music, I would listen to my favorite French robots, Daft Punk and I wish that Daft Punk do another fantastic and groundbreaking House music album than Drake doing a lifeless bare minimum mid "House" album. I only liked two songs from this album, and I don't think I will go back to this album like I did for other Drake albums that I didn't even like with the examples of Views, Scorpion, and even CLB.

I think drake is at a point were he’s well established in his career so he feels he don’t need to prove anything, As a result, we get these lacklustered projects from him over the past 5 years. He’s not trying and it shows, on top of that, he lets rap beefs get to him which hinders his ability to make a good album.

It's simple: Drake is such a superstar at this point, the only goal he has left to "achieve" is to dominate every element of the music industry that he can, so he can historically go down as the GOAT any way you slice it. There's one reason this album exists: to be placed under the Apple Music genre of "dance music" and instantly make history based on streaming views from legions of Drake fans that are expecting... anything at all from him. He dominated pop, he dominated hip hop - so what's next? Turns out it's "dance music." Now, Drake can walk away from this album with having made streaming history in a new genre (for him) that no one will top again in the "dance" space, thus securing him another career win. He's too big to fail now no matter what he takes on in his career, as he's practically marionetting the music industry at this point. But it makes sense - if I were him, I'd do the same thing.

It’s impressive the level Drake stans will go to defend everything he does.. “You don’t like it cuz it’s not rap,” is such a cop out defense. When other artists like Kanye or Kendrick switch up their sounds, they criticize it, but when Drake does it it’s genius (regardless of quality). I’ve enjoyed plenty of r&b / pop / dancehall songs from Drake to know what he’s capable of creating when he ventures outside of rap. I’ve also listened to enough house/dance music (like SHM, deadmau5, Avicii, etc.) to know what’s good or not. This simply isn’t it.

Drake seems to be at the point where he’s become extremely separated from his audience and just making music because he feels like it. As an artist I can appreciate it in a sense.

@dontebennett60982 жыл бұрын
I agree with Shawn's assertion that whenever Drake attempts to delve into a different genre, those attempts are usually watered-down versions of that type of music. He ripped off Grime, UK drill, Afrobeat, Southern Rap and even Reggaeton before and those efforts ranged from decent to utter dogshit. And as a jamaican, I must say that his "interpretation" of dancehall on Views was insulting and just another way to draw more attention to himself, and thus, boost his profile while making him look "cultured".
@polymerizedrecords2 жыл бұрын
I completely agree with you, and I might feel differently if he was doing something out of my culture, but I think it's almost impossible for an artist to understand various genres well enough (and dig deep enough) so that he can create something new, influential and respectful in multiple genres in a executable time frame. Obviously you're more qualified than me to speak on this but when it came to Jamaican influenced music, I think that drake actually tried to put out something decent, but I guess that if you really study the history and the genre, creating music that fits within that world and is accepted by its originators is just hard to do. Although I had contact with Jamaican music back in the first Dancehall takeover back in the late 90s, I still discovered a lot of Jamaican music after Drake dropped those songs, as hopefully more people did, and that is the biggest thing I got from that project.

The Slowed & Reverbed community has been slowing Drake songs down for a long ass time now and Drake is aware of this and also supports it. Enjoys it. Rightfully so, it's its own vibe. Though originally out of Houstin was DJ Screw who sort of pioneered the "Chopped and Screwed" sounds that would then eventually evolve in to a sub-genre known as Slowed & Reverbed. I wish more people were on board with the sound. I can't get enough of it.

I think he focused on the art and quality in the first half of his career. I think since Views it seems like he's been okay with being corporate/focusing on the money aspect rather than artistry because of how lucrative his name/brand is during that time. The only full length project I've liked from him since IYRTITL has been Dark Lane Demo Tapes and it's a bunch of B-Sides/Throwaways over the years which is telling. He signed that 500 million dollar deal and it seems we'll be getting a more detached/commercialized/corporate/focused group version of Drake who will continuously look for a massive hit and phone in the art that he was once good at.

I'm not a Drake fan but I agree with this, New Drake is 🗑. These albums he dropping now no will consider classics. Drake knows he can drop whatever these days and it'll sell like hotcakes purely off his name. Drake is too well of an established rapper now so he is like why try? "Honestly, never mind" is different, but different doesn't equal good. Drake does not sound right on the production on that project, plus the production is bland. So far the only song I see worth a damn is "Jimmy cooks", at least the production is more lively on that track, but maybe other tracks will grow on me, probably not, but I guess it's a possibility.

My only real problem with it is it's an album, not a mixtape. For this to be a full fleshed out LP it doesn't sound too thought out, or like he's been working on this for a while. There are some really good tracks on here, and as a whole if you have it playing in the background or at a function it actually goes crazy. But it's hard to rank this with his other projects due to the fact that it's soo different. I appreciate Drake for trying something new and making it into a whole project, but he could've taken the 7 best songs from this and made it into a mixtape or EP.

People criticise this project yet when you compare it to the likes of CLB and Scorpion, there’s a lot more consistent sound throughout the project and it feels like it was a pet project as opposed to him just giving the “fans” what they want yet again. I respect these type of projects from artists, and we need more of them. Fans need to let artists cook man, otherwise we just get the same thing over and over again, which is exactly what happened with us getting CLB and Scorpion. Absolute zero surprises or changes of pace on either of those albums.

A South African dj did a good job but should have told drake to step up . In terms of rating this on a house scale it’s one of the worst Vocal performance I’ve heard in a while and the remixes will be better it’s a 4/10 for me

This album was fucking WEIRD. Not because of the fact Drake dropped a House record but off the fact that I was completely ready to write this record off as Drake trying to make an album of Hotline Blings without actually capturing whatever made that song work (which IMO I still don't like that song). It felt like House music made by someone who doesn't actually know what makes House music work, especially with how little the beats and Drake's vocals works. And then Overdrive comes on... And Drake wakes up. Those three songs actually kind of hit, although I'd say hit in the way an okay Swedish House Mafia or Calvin Harris do, the penultimate track loses steam and then WHERE THE HELL DID THAT CLOSER JIMMY CROOKS COME FROM THAT WHAT THE HECK??? Also, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who heard the lyrics of this record and was definitely uncomfortable, same with that bed creaking sample was... uncomfortable.

All of drakes vocals across the entire album sound half ass, like he's just crooning in the shower. He has a severe lack of any sort of harmonies or consistent, catchy flows and most of his verses have little to any steady rhythm, so alot of the album just sounds like drake went into the booth and made up the verse as he went along. Not to mention alot of the beats are very spacious, low key, and open, which you would assume would give drake the space to do some really catchy, interesting verses, but because the verses are just as low energy, it's hard to get through the album without your eyes getting heavy

When you look at Drake’s entire discography then listen to this album, you realize that he’s done this type of music throughout his career, but it would typically be a one-off performance on an album. Songs like Show Me a Good Time, Get It Together, Little Bit, Take Care, With You, remind me of the records on this album.

How I felt about the Drake album, commented before I finish watching this video: It's the most I've enjoyed a Drake project in years, but that doesn't mean much because I really haven't enjoyed a Drake project at all for a really long time. I think the album gets pretty boring after around halfway through, but I really like house music and minimal club beats, so I was invested for longer than I was expecting to be. I think it could have easily been my favorite project of his had he just gone a little bit more leftfield with the production choices, really leaning into a grimy, more DIY Jersey club sound rather than watering it down. My expectations were super low, so he managed to surpass them at least! I like Calling My Name and Liability the most, i think.

Drake finally took some big risks and focused on one cohesive sound. On the last few projects, he was stuck in a routine of trying to please every type of fan he has, and he ended up with bloated, formulaic albums that tried to do too much at once. This time, he picked one lane (singing over dance music) and fully committed himself to it, pushing himself out of his usual formula. I never thought we’d get a cohesive 14-song album from Drake again-especially one with this much experimentation-and I’m very happy with the surprise.

I listen to a lot of hip-hop and house music. Let me tell you, when I listened to this album I got so fucking mad at Drake because he dropped yet another boring album and people still praise him for it. It just sucks because a lot of people have taken on the genre this year alone and have produced better results than whatever the fuck Drake attempted to do here. I just wish Drake either (1) takes a LOOOOOOONG break from music or (2) retires from music completely. Because at this point, he’s been in the industry’s for maybe like 12-13 years? And for the past 6 years (almost HALF OF HIS CAREER) he’s been dropping literal shit album after shit album. He is a producer for Euphoria, owns the Raptors, HAS HIS OWN RECORD LABEL/MERCH. He really doesn’t need to be in the music industry anymore, so why is he still doing this shit?

Drake used to make amazing music. He peaked in 2015. Ever since then, I've been constantly amazed how much worse each album got. Views to Scorpion to CLB to this....they just find new ways to demonstrate that the man isn't hungry, he's in a rut, he's cashing in, and he isn't evolving. It's sad. Look at him vs the THE WEEKND. Abel is the King of Toronto. Drake is just disappointing at this point.

I mean, we’re talking about a man that has fake braids in his hair, a few months after having a heart cut into his fade. If you’re still expecting amazing work from him, check his previous work. Lately, he’s been hittin duds. If he wants to continue doing whatever this is, he needs to grab some writers. Hip hop won’t accept writers but house & every other genre does

The thing is, the mix was terrible, vocally drake sounded uninterested in even recording, the orientation of the beat was WACK, the mastering process was worse than a basement producer's and worst off all, drake could literally PAY PEOPLE to fix all of that but he didn't

@@mathijshoek3113 Agreed it's like Drake went on a random generator typed in a bunch of genres and thought fuck it what genre am I going to exploit next and make a quick buck from, it sounds awfully generic and lazy and done with a lack of research into the genre. I perfect example of taking a risk being experimental and doing it well would be YEEZUS Kanye worked with the likes of Gesaffelstein, Evian Christ, Brodinski, Hudson Mohawke etc

My principal complaint is that this album needed more vocal processing and editing. There was no need for 30 seconds and 16 bars of "Falling Back on MeeeEEEeeeEEE" in the first song. If he's going to have this much repetition, there should have been vocal harmonies to change it up. Hell, Currents has a section that has the "With every move" bridge that does this perfectly, so I don't know why it isn't in the rest of the album. It boggles my mind that RY X Carnage and 40 were producers on this album, but didn't do anything to play with the vocals. Like they were too afraid to make it less radio friendly or something. I don't know. I liked the album on first listen, but the more I sit with it, the less I like.

I really like the album - it may not particularly be my favourite type of music but I respect how he's going in a chosen artistic direction and isn't bothered with sales/streams. When I was listening, it felt like this is what he wants to do - house, dancehall, afrobeat mixed with his iconic RnB crooning - it feels like a natural progression for a lot of his discography. Yes clb had more hits, but I'm excited for what we can get drake when he's less concerned with mainstream appeal. Great video tho. ps. I've never been that much of a drake fan so I'm not just dickriding.
@alanwhoo2 жыл бұрын
the thing shawn was trying to get across was that drake is so big that he doesnt have to concern himself with sales and streams, because hes going to get that no matter what he does. I actually dont think Drake has been concerned with that aspect of music for the last 5 years atleast, so thats why its upsetting that his efforts are falling this short. he could have been a bridge that connected mainstream listeners to new or established house music artists
