If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Drake just dropped another album.

If You're Reading This It's Too Late, the new Drake record is out on iTunes.

There is also a 14 minutes video somewhere but the thing is unwatchable, I won't bother posting it.

First hook: Oh my god, oh my god if I die I'm a legend.

this is the worst day on earth

worst is like, a sanskrit colloquialism that means "best" right

So far this is like he was really proud of Wu Tang Forever and decided to expand on that song. A good thing for me. 6 Man is perhaps my favorite yet.

yeah i'm really enjoying this. drunk tho

not sure whether it's good or bad that my previous drinks of the evening are wearing off while listening to this

does it make sense to suggest him switching it up stylistically feels a lot less awkward than on previous records?

this sounds kinda great to me

Did he just say 'I'm Game of Thrones with you Mama' ?

yeeeeep

goddamn j0rd u r right about that second partynextdoor track

everything is deeply upsetting

wow i'm really angry that partynextdoor actually produced that track and "legend" too fuck this earth

can't believe i almost missed this as i was on a thread about old people's sweets.

wow i'm really angry that partynextdoor actually produced that track and "legend" too fuck this earth

yes so random

that sounds infinitely preferable xp

someone let me know when the instrumentals show up

also "jungle" is one of 40's best beats ever

it's all on YouTube btw folks.

his soundcloud songs are mostly hit or miss for me individually and this sounds like a bunch of those woven together but idk i think as full project it sounds pretty great together

it's easily the most anti-pop thing he's ever done though

loving '10 Bands' so far.

this is pretty amazing

'Madonna' is great.

just gonna throw this out there, but my new dream collab is drake + julianna barwick

also the outro of "preach" -> interlude w/ PARTYNEXTDOOR is absolutely incredible

Just spinning "Legend" for the first time now, and to think I was about to go to bed after checking ILM

Love his flow on "No Tellin"

First listen done. Other obvious highlights for me are "Star 67", "You and the 6" and "6pm In New York."

I dig it, but it doesn't reach even close to the high water mark of Nothing Was the Same. No anthems like "Hold On We're Going Home" or GOAT beats like "Pound Cake" or any of the other million awesome things about that album but it already grew on me a lot from the beginning to the end.

The internet can't seem to agree on whether this is just a mixtape or his pre-mentioned album Views Frrom the 6 with a new name. Where do you guys weigh in? The fact that he's selling it on iTunes and that he's following the "Beyonce'd!!!!!" model of doing shit I'd say album, but the lack of any singles plus the fact that it doesn't <sound> nearly as good as Nothing Was the Same suggest mixtape. Either way Drake hasn't weighed in and we don't know if there's gonna be a physical release or not. What do yall think?

wow this mustve been why I had that fever dream last nite

classic internet comments

Jamila McCoy · Top Commenter · Northeastern University
That's exactly what I said when I first saw it drop on iTunes was what's up with all the damn numbers, especially the 6's my sister said maybe drake worships the devil. Lol.

Was it not common knowledge that he had a mixtape coming early in the year? LOL at this being described as a "project" in the initial rush to report it

Listening now, and it's welcome, but it's very clearly a mixtape

Kinda hoping he explores that weird "high-pitched" register from "Company" further, just slightly Durst

"6PM in NY" is like

available on spotify now, for those who don't wanna buy but don't feel like stealin'

This is my favourite thing he's done

I think in general the best stuff here was already out (6 god, how abt now) but his unreleased stuff is usually always worthwhile so im pleased he put this out

No Tellin' No Tellin' No Tellin'

Caramanica re new Drake

Part of the burden of bringing softness to hip-hop’s center is the perpetual urge to balance it with something rougher. That’s the phase Drake is in now: on top, defending his turf, while trying to keep his heart pure.

And the memes begin:
http://instagram.com/p/zDm-DnyIbS/?modal=true

so, I haven't listened to much Drake before, but he seems to mention his relationship to a "city" in every other line. Is he talking about some place in Canada?

well, yes. a Canada of the heart

real heads know drake reps Moose Jaw

http://i.imgur.com/u3KFEza.png

this is pretty good

i think it was some dude(?) but anyway someone retweeted someone who said that the album cover looks like a chick-fil-a cow suicide note made me lol

please-do-not-speak-to-me-like-Im-that-Drake-from-five-years-ago.htm

lol who is drake biting on '6 man'

matrix references in 2015 god damn u drakey

been vibing the travi$ scott song

"it's so hot in here" truthers can

worse still are "badass" truthers

Sold over 500,000 its first week.

hate this thread title. every time i read it, i think of drake crouched over the bowl, struggling to drop another.

didn't he?

apparently

Carl Wilson

late to this, best of the year so far.

"i got niggas who can never leave canada"

"my mom got me on google alerts"

"i got bitches asking me for the code for wifi"

"ex girl she the female version of me"

hahah this album is nuts.

"i can never let the streets down, haven't left the condo for a week now"

haha

"that was when ethan was pushing the subaru hatchback, i'm talking way before hashtags"

"i'm turning into a nigga who thinks about money and women like 24/7 that's where my life too me thats just how shit happened to go"

found this borderline unlistenable/parodic until it got to the more take-care sounding stuff near the end.

ayo ethan p

This is a mixtape with 5-6 songs that are head and shoulders above the rest (ranking with album cuts)

But overall it's a solid enough mixtape that isn't on par with his previous album

I think it's easily the best thing he's ever done.

easily

http://i.imgur.com/tIcQ9pM.jpg

I've decided this album is only good for memes

http://i.imgur.com/rSKKqd1.jpg

this is pretty close to unlistenable to me, as a whole. there are some great songs but there's only so much hard drake u can take in one sitting

I pretty much only like hard Drake.

https://twitter.com/Are_Kelly/status/474841371145015298

what's hard drake?

Long hangout:

http://fourpins.com/life/drake-coachella-profile/

k

"I pretty much only like hard Drake."

opposite. "lust for life," "marvins room" and "the motion" are his holy trinity.

i'm back to totally hating drake & it feels good

interesting abt the 'paradigm shifting' track hm

i'm back to totally hating drake & it feels good

lol

still jamming 6 god

"Know Yourself" + "No Tellin'" is a good double-header.

Hate this album

peace sign in the air like im nixon im mixin'

I never hated Drake before but I'm starting to hate him now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVPRQwkgC3g

Finally listened to this whole thing yesterday, I keep waiting for the guy to put out a project where I "get" it but idk, beats don't hit for me and all the shit talk about unspecified rappers is off-putting, just comes off as bitter and not particularly confident.

although, part of it is that while he's technically improved I still find his flow pretty rigid/his voice annoying, so maybe those kinda lyrics'd work if I thought he was a better rapper.

amp drake can be nice, but drake is all about glum drake. "lust for life," "marvins room" and "the motion" are the holy aubrey trinity. "no tellin'" is as close as he gets this time out.

ugh "The Motion" one of those soundcloud turds

noooooo no no

even in the anemic greyscale spectrum that is the drake catalog "the motion" is up there with "headlines" as one of the blandest bags of dreck he's made

No Tellin' is one of the best on the mixtape but Legend/Madonna are def my favorites along with Jungle. Madonna is one of the most overtly sinister things in his catalogue and the fact the same Ginuwine sample from Legend is here really seals the deal. Emphasis on 'overtly' too since he has something like Shot For Me where he is straight-up being emotionally manipulative (through clever pacing in its lyrics and the vocal delivery). And I mean, I was convinced at one point that he didn't seem so bad by the time the song ended (and the plethora of "oh he's such a sweetheart"-esque comments for the song on youtube et al seem to prove I wasn't alone in that).

Jungle sums up the entire mixtape perfectly (iirc 6PM in New York is a bonus track). Drake's entire career is built on convincing people to like him (for various reasons) and the lyrics on that song really get to me. "that's cutting all into my time" eventually turns into "are we still good?". "the things I can’t change are the reasons you love me"... heartfelt? proof he's unwilling to actually try in changing his behaviors? both? I've always liked Drake because he often forces me to think about my own actions and I've only come to realize that I'm also a huge self-centered, critical, ego-driven hypocrite who just wants to love/be loved and feel accepted. It's why the ambiguity of the "I know exactly who you could be" line in Hold On, We're Going Home really makes the song for me or why Headlines is tolerable with all things considered.

@misterjoshua it's been said that drake manages to make ugly moments somehow romantic. "marvins room" is probably the epitome of that.

this was a little over the top but still enjoyed reading it http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/865-op-ed-im-breaking-up-with-drake/

yeah that was great

I was just thinking about how "Last name ever, first name greatest" is one of the worst famous hip-hop punchlines of all time.

that article is sub-blog content

Garvey 😍

All I wanted is a picture of that Take Care tattoo

smugness is a bad look, and I'm sorry, but some people have been saying this about drake for a long time

not to toot my own horn but i've posted a few unkind things about drake myself

i am totally fine with drake being an asshole while still enjoying his music

He's an asshole in a really annoying way

and that's a pretty big part of his attraction? villains can be fascinating too.

He's no more a villain than most other rappers in the way they attempt to present themselves, at least in a superficial sense.

his lameness is so tied up in his music tho in a way that usually only happens in fratty singer songwriter artists

I've surprised myself by rooting for Drizzy in this Meek beef.

there are no winners in this thing

Yeah I worked really hard to try to like Meek (before the beef), but can't really get into him even though in theory he should be something i like. His answer track was embarrassing, and he doubled down on the homophobia in the live freestyle

Is Drake the first case of a high-profile rapper, who is known mainly as a straightforward rapper (as opposed to a producer like Dr. Dre, mogul type like Diddy, or wildcard character like Eazy E or ODB), not only being accused of having a ghostwriter, but having that accusation more or less confirmed? Because the leaked Quentin Miller reference tracks for "RICO" and "Know Yourself", neither of which Miller is credited on, seem pretty definitive.

I don't follow hip-hop closely, but I get the sense there was a time when this would have been a big deal. But most people seem to be laughing at Meek Mill for even bringing it up, and Drake is getting patted on the back for changing the subject to how Meek's girlfriend is more famous than he is. So have times changed? Would people react differently if the target was someone other than Drake, or if it was someone other than Meek Mill bringing it up?

oh there are tons of rappers with confirmed verses written by other people. Run DMC had lyrics written by LL Cool J, Lil Kim had lyrics written by Biggie, Ma$e had lyrics written by Jay-Z. and that's just the tip of the iceberg of ones that are confirmed facts.

Big Daddy Kane wrote for Biz Markie and others

alright folks, assuming this is even legit, start arguing over it in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 http://putitallinaplasticbag.com/

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i was just listening to ds2 this morning thinking "why the fuck is drake on this album" and i'm not even really a drake hater

i like drake, i also totally understand for the most part why the people who don't like him don't

he's like, fine on "where ya at" but doesn't necessarily add anything to it. there are a few songs where they work well together imo, like "tony montana" and "we in this 1.5," so i'm curious what this would be like

still hoping this isn't actually real so I can get a fucking break from seeing Drake everywhere

tbh i like drake when he is the most like drake e.g. take care and not when he is trying to act like whoever he's collaborating w/ e.g. "where ya at"

yea im looking fwd to this

if u do not like drake, do not dl/listen to it, p easy

The man is truly an A+ trendhopper/swag-jacker

if u do not like drake, do not dl/listen to it, p easy

if you're listening to drake, it's already too late

i mean, in some ways definitely, but since they've collaborated multiple times before whatever this is i don't really think that's the case here xp

I usually only like Drake when he's swaggerjacking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if nothing else, site is fake per multiple reports

the spodee nard & b produced tapes are a good ersatz-future vibe if u need a fix

on datpiff/soundcloud?

livemixtapes iirc?

so, this ended up being pretty all right? the production and overall vibe is more future than drake, which is fine by me, although drake is pretty good in his parts

"diamonds dancing" is particularly awesome imo

i like Plastic Bag

this is okay

diamonds dancing is pretty good

i dig the future parts mostly, production also is often pretty cool

is it me or is drake like really trying out a future impression on his parts on this record?

okay i guess that impression happens only occassionaly

30 for 30 freeestyle is pretty good

hotline bling is the song of the year

lol no way i'd go that far but i do like the song

has badu's version been posted ? http://www.thefader.com/2015/10/01/erykah-badu-hotline-bling

the timmy thomas sample is dope

re the dram "cha cha" thing, imo they are pretty different songs, i don't feel like drake "jacked" his record idk

music video is garbage imo

i like that jose bautista is walking up to "big rings," that is the perfect purpose for such a dumb yet entertaining song

diss tracks are stupid obv but back to back is better than hotline bling imo

back to back is a great song

the beat is pretty terrible

really nice things from the future collab is so so so bad

local radio stations are playing hotline bling basically all the time, I can just tune in and expect to hear it, it is growing on me a lot, I like it a lot more than back to back

heard it twice tonight within an hour it was fucking great

I can't take anyone's opinion seriously who thinks diss tracks stupid

"really nice things" as an alt title makes "big rings" even funnier/more terrible

hotline bling has colonized my brain. i'm hoping listening to all the covers will cure it.

lmao i thought that was actually the title

Some dude otm this song is gross even by his usual standards.

Some dude otm I love the chorus but then the verse starts and I tune out/get angry.

The sample is great though. And the chorus melody he jacked from DRAM

yeah the chorus is super-catchy, am grateful for erykah's remix

drake's lyrics are just...peak entitled whiny MRA manbaby

it's p much why i'm suspicious of anyone who properly identifies with him. he has trash emotions

All emotions are trash.

Diss tracks are pretty fundamental to hip hop

I thought I had never heard Drake before seeing the vines of him playing tennis and throwing pepperonis on a pizza I am sure i have heard this before with the talking on the cellphone thing. If my wellbeing holds out enough that I can brave the EOY playlist again in a couple of months I imagine I will hear it again then

I seem to have lost some punctuation along the way, its been a difficult day

it is pretty clear drake is a scumbag and i can def see "trash emotions" for sure. but i think

however i think hotline bling is a great song, production is great, that sample is so good, the whole thing is very sparse, the rhythm is great. it is a classic drake song. imo it is also a very hilarious song, drake is so clearly the loser here, his girl found better friends, is having way more fun, is going out partying having a great time without drake, fuck that dork, she doesn't need him, drake is sad and lonely and bitter and petty, "you used to stay at home and be a good girl" is such a shitty line yes but imo we're never meant to believe drake here, he's just bitter

like i don't think you have to like drake's persona to enjoy this song, it's a super catchy song and you can also witness drake being a sorry ass loser who's left out

i'd always rather someone own their ugliest emotions than hide them through coded nice-guy shit (as drake occasionally did earlier on, which is why i dont like so far gone and thank me later as much), regardless of my opinion of those emotions

(and besides, anyone who sez they havent been as petty as drake is on this song at some point in their lives over some woman or man is lying through their teeth)

otm

marcos and slothrop otm

oh c'mon drake has never set himself up as the fall guy of his songs, his popularity is entirely predicated on people identifying with him

i hear this song as legitimising to millions of bros their irrational dumb possessive controlling petty jealousy and weird ideas about women

(i have lurked on messageboards geared towards that type of person and it's kind of disturbing to hear MRA/PUA-esque sentiments and language mirrored in pop AND THEN PRAISED AS SENSITIVITY)

and though "owning his ugliest emotions" has been the get-out clause for dickhead artists forever, it makes absolutely no sense when it's performed with smugness and cockiness rather than self-loathing

i don't get cockiness from hotline bling, and i think it is easy to see drake as the fall guy in this song even if he doesn't, though tbh i think there are plenty of lines in the tune ("some girls i've never seen before") that suggest that this girl is two steps ahead of drake and he knows it, that's why he's writing a petty-ass jealous song about her

also i'm not quite sure about my own relationship right now w/ music that has "weird ideas about women." i mean all these future tapes are pretty high quality music with some complete fucking garbage being said about women, i'm not really seeing all the same people ragging on drake for "soft misogyny" also ragging on future (though definitely there are some)

also i'm not quite sure about my own relationship right now w/ music that has "weird ideas about women."

when i say this i mean i just haven't quite worked out a coherent position, not that i think it is a positive thing necessarily to listen to misogynist music

his popularity is entirely predicated on people identifying with him

it's...not hard to identify with doing or saying shitty things...we're generally a shitty species?

also i don't think you have to be a MRA/PUA dipshit to enjoy a drake song

tbf the emotions are even more genuine in future, ugly as they get, which is why i think some ppl who despite drake for those reasons can buy it when future says it. i have this problem more with the weeknd than with either future or drake, also it's considerably worse music

("buy" not equivalent to "endorse" obv)

*despise, jfc liam

Song sounds great, but esp the bridge lyrics seem unfortunate - better if drake had focused on whining abt how he lost genuine relationship to hometown love interest bcz of superficial jetset lifestyle than telling her to stay the way he remembers her and at home :S

What I don't buy here is that we can't enjoy music we *don't* identity with. I don't listen to Drake on this song and put myself in his shoes, but it's been stuck in my head 24/7 pretty much since it dropped (not quite, I was initially a "Right Hand" partisan) and I've never minded it being there. Last I checked, only liking music that affirms your identity is mostly a sign of being 15. That said, I do prefer the extra bit of magic the Erykah version adds.

I just spent forty-five minutes grading blog posts for my class. For this assignment requiring students to trade media with a classmate (i.e. watch her TV shows, listen to her music, get a Snapchat account, etc), I counted four Drake references. Sample: "I had not taken Drake seriously but now I am listening to him in a different way" or "One thing I learned about X is that he listens to a lot of Drake."

it's kind of amazing he hasn't had a #1 yet cuz that dude is the center of pop for young ppl, more than taylor swift even. just across all the demos in that age range. i can't think of any other thing in pop culture that makes me feel such a generation gap.

you hear stuff like this from Trump voters a lot

damn man cmon, i'm voting bernie

i'll bet you felt that burn though

wasn't too shabby

i didn't mean you were voting trump i just think the "hey he's an asshole but he's honest about it" thing is kinda suspect to moi

haha it was a fair burn

i regard asshole drake the same way i do asshole kanye and future - sometimes i can see where the more pointed emotions are coming from without thinking they should be emulated, sometimes i think "nah that's just unpleasant as fuck"

its also something people have been saying about drake for literally 6 years afaik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Real_emotional_trash.jpg
real emotional trash y'all

listened to "legend" today, great song. when the sample comes in during the chorus mmmm

awful song, when he goes into that higher register i wanna vomit

i love it

best aggro moment on the tape is RUNNIN, THROUGH THE, STREETS, WITH MY WOES... u know how that shit go

"Know Yourself" + "No Tellin'" is a good double-header.

Who knew "Know Yourself" would turn into a single. Seemed as ambient/esoteric as "Hold My Liquor" at the time.

Running through the streets with my woes would have been so much cooler if woes hadn't been an acronym for Win Oriented Esteemed Studs or w/e
But I guess that's Drake for ya.

last i remember was that the 'working on excellence' acronym was debunked and he was just saying woe short for woadie, which is the first time i'd ever heard of woadie being abbreviated in that way, and even if toronto has wards it just feels like another example of drake biting a southern rap trope tbh.

I'd be far more comfortable with "woadies" than with "bros working on excellence". Who knows? Maybe he had his N.O. pals visiting him?

I just heard hotline bling played four times on the radio in like an hour and a half

The only songs I'm hearing more are good for you and the hills

Win Oriented Esteemed Studs

Legit lol at this thank u

What is "Good For You"

selena gomez

there's no way that's what he means by woes, that sounds like some rapgenius shit lol

some OVO guy sold the press on the idea: http://www.thefader.com/2015/02/13/what-does-drake-really-mean-when-he-talks-about-his-woe

LOLZ at all you grandpas who think that Drake is still relevant to millennials. Listen pops...we have moved on to Silento.

Lmao

I have to confess to not listening to much Drake (being more busy trying to find my teeth in the lake, or w/e), but I think this is a great song, and I also think it's really myopic and just a bad reading to see the lyrics as endorsing some kind of butthurt MRA POV about women. I mean, butthurt yes, but much more in a pathetic way that the song is self-aware about (although the speaker is not).

even the video, doing his lame little dances in his sad little room

When he says "ever since I left the city" I picture him moving out to some near suburban attached development to save money, living in a clean but kind of sparely decorated apartment, a lot of blank white walls.

he's about to

i heard some really really good dancehall cover version of hotline bling on local radio last night, just caught the last 20 seconds or so, but i can't seem to find it online (it's pirate radio and they don't really keep playlists on their clunky website), there's an elephant man one but i don't think that was it

dunno if this is it, but this is currently my favorite version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF1LnQk4EaU

anyone know if it's possible to get hold of the actual instrumental track somehow?

Hehe

I enjoyed this article, most of the technical stuff is complete gibberish to me but somehow still a good read http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar12/articles/it-0312.htm

lol in that article - "In hip-hop, you must write your own raps. If someone else were to write them for you, you'd have no credibility whatsoever, and you'd be out of the window immediately"

good to know '40'

ahahaha

thread title wil be true in 6.5 weeks

rev that bella blair tune was great, thx, not the one i heard (now i do think it was maybe elephant man) but i dug it and had some good lines ("stiff like ply board")

anyways re: the original most annoying thing is that radio cuts off the coda whenever they play it, only one station in town plays the whole thing, the instrumental coda is one of the best parts

I feel like dude's vocal tics have got more obnoxious since "Worst Behavior"

As in idg how "runningthroughthrSIXwithmyWOES" is a meme/quotable whatever

Also "Metro Boomin on production WOW"

I'm hearing a remix in my head where after each Drizzy "woes" a chorus of early-60s type girl singers chirp "oh NOES!"

it is amazing that my hatred of "Hotline Bling" covers and my hatred of viral Jimmy Fallon musical bits got together and had a baby

haw

i mean i know that we all view askance rock covers of rap/r&b songs but to me this doesn't come with the usual baggage, he just goes for it. and i'm not really a fan of the original either but he and the band really pull it off imo, it's just really tight

i'm aware this makes me a normie dad

yeah this is fantastic - love that he picked the ROlling Thunder look

but kinda weird too right since it's a positively 4th street parody?

yeah, it's a blonde on blonde sound/delivery with a rolling thunder look !

the new drake >>> the new kanyes

getting bored of aggro drake

'real friends' is better than drake's new song

don't really care which is better cuz i don't see myself choosing to listen to either but drake has seemed to hone in on a pretty repetitive sound whereas kanye's new stuff can at least surprise

ty dolla is better than drake but drake's new song is better than real friends
this is a different aggro drake btw. He has finally absorbed the loose future flow, obv the endgame of wattba

just listened to summer 16 pretty lame :/

he has a really big swimming pool as i understand it

a Toronto rapper has been playing snippets of unreleased Drake songs he's threatening to leak, and one of them features Drake singing Nico's "These Days," it's pretty horrible
