The way I have the disks tagged, the bonus tracks come up as a separate album, which I hardly ever play because whenever I think about them some part of my brain goes "A-RING-KING-KING" and I just play "Backseat Freestyle" again

how does "control" create distance?

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:44 (twelve years ago)

i think i connect w/ drake as often anyway

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago)

xp Lamar is delivering a carefully crafted thesis (and quite a long, complicated one). That's not a bad thing at all, of course, but that approach doesn't lend itself to the same intimacy of one dude rattling off thoughts more or less as they come to him

Evan R, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago)

xp I think part of it is that, for all its careful construction musically, Take Care is one big splatter of emotion (and often contradictory emotions). Kendrick Lamar is much more controlled in his messaging, which I think creates a distance

so kendrick is biggie and drake is pac

D-40, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:49 (twelve years ago)

kendrick is gucci and drake is boosie

what is it about drake you connect to? you mean his persona, not the beats, right?

#YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:51 (twelve years ago)

to me, someone sitting down and crafting a multisong coming-of-age narrative loosely based on his life experiences is much more intimate than someone going "now she got a photo/you already know tho/you only live once/that's the motto nigga, YOLO"

then again, Drake could be doing interconnected narrative confessionals on his albums and I wouldn't know

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:51 (twelve years ago)

his beautiful brown eyes?

We have to disagree here. I'm more moved by cohesion.

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:52 (twelve years ago)

take care is pretty damn cohesive

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago)

the production on 'take care' is as good or better than the stuff on good kid btw

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago)

drake's eyes are one of his least physically appealing attributes

#YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:54 (twelve years ago)

Take Care is cohesive! Wasn't that one of the defenses last year -- a journey-into-the-dark-night-of-whatever?

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago)

a journey into the long dark night of your navel

#YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:56 (twelve years ago)

yeah, it's hard to overstate this

Evan R, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 21:59 (twelve years ago)

drake's rapping is just so fucking appalling on that record, ESPECIALLY when he gets all ambitious with a kendrick-lite flow on "hyfr"

trinidad jokes (some dude), Thursday, 29 November 2012 04:47 (twelve years ago)

like honestly mac miller's album is probably "cohesive" and has "vision" but who gives a fucking fuck

trinidad jokes (some dude), Thursday, 29 November 2012 04:47 (twelve years ago)

Well obv if the cohesive vision appeals to you, it's going to be a positive

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Thursday, 29 November 2012 04:56 (twelve years ago)

Like if someone did an album that told the story of a man slowly inserting his nuts into a panini press, I would not be interested

I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Thursday, 29 November 2012 04:58 (twelve years ago)

yeah honestly i just feel a little betrayed by sarge because he was part of so many great occasions of laughing at drake and at some point he turned a corner of unironic appreciation and i'm like man were you just pretending to make fun of this dude or what?

trinidad jokes (some dude), Thursday, 29 November 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago)

& IT ALL COMES OUT

J0rdan S., Thursday, 29 November 2012 05:39 (twelve years ago)

and for the record as someone who listened to the mac miller album multiple times: no

J0rdan S., Thursday, 29 November 2012 05:39 (twelve years ago)

liljon /bia/ bia (k3vin k.), Thursday, 29 November 2012 05:42 (twelve years ago)

i always genuinely laughed at drake (and still do!) but he made a really hot album, i'm fine with admitting that. his earlier stuff is still mostly terrible.

J0rdan S., Thursday, 29 November 2012 05:47 (twelve years ago)

it's just a really bizarre about-turn to make given that many of the things that made drake intolerable before are still there

the idea of connecting to drake's persona at any time is...i can't even

Interesting crossover moment between these two dudes. Kendrick more than holds his own here, I don't know whether this track has been pointed out about for all the talk about both them this year.

MikoMcha, Saturday, 1 December 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago)

not gonna lie; i dont like take care like that, but its definitely less obnoxious than his early stuff

D-40, Saturday, 1 December 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago)

xpost the awful "Come right back / hope you insomniac / sleep on me if you wanna take a dirt nap" line in that is the one that always makes me wonder why ppl are riding for kendrick instead of meek

ra乒乓head (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 1 December 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago)

yeah he has so many lines that just totally fall apart the second you start to give them any thought

susan dey with jigga (some dude), Saturday, 1 December 2012 20:00 (twelve years ago)

I actually like the ca-ca-ca-ca lines. Could do without the hydroplane.

so connecting to someone who is struggling to find some semblance of connection with other people is impossible? yeah his persona is dick-ish but whatever, no one's gonna change their opinion on aubrey and that's fine

bish (bosch), don't kill my vibe (rennavate), Saturday, 8 December 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago)

drake is pretty relateable as far as rappers go, it just doesn't matter if his voice and raps are dookie

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:19 (twelve years ago)

Quite honestly, I don't understand anyone who calls themselves a hip-hop fan who isn't completely fucking dying over this album

DJP, Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:22 (twelve years ago)

Or even who doesn't call themselves a hip-hop fan. It's an incredible album by any standard.

*hi-5 chap*

that's basically how i feel--it's as good a pop record as it is anything

an eagle named "small government" (call all destroyer), Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:35 (twelve years ago)

"money trees" has emerged as my go-to song off this

flopson, Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:37 (twelve years ago)

yeah i'm feelin that...it's prob my second go-to after swimming pools

an eagle named "small government" (call all destroyer), Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:38 (twelve years ago)

i liked "swimming pools" a lot at first but hearing it on the radio kind of ruined it for me maybe? like, not in an oversaturation way, more just that it sounds awful in that context for some reason

flopson, Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:41 (twelve years ago)

that doubletime part on swimming pools is one of my favourite rapping moments on the album "i think that i'm feelin' the vibe/i see the love in her eyes"

flopson, Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:42 (twelve years ago)

makes sense, i think it's brilliant in the context of the album but i love the hook so much i started listening to it on its own

an eagle named "small government" (call all destroyer), Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:42 (twelve years ago)

like it's sort of the emotional nadir of the album so it's an odd radio song
