worst Drake song on the radio PART THREE

i always hear marvin's room with the jojo verse stuck in so i can't vote for that. maybe deuces

a smorgasbord of solipsism.

'crew love' is just unmitigated garbage front to back but jfc 'aston martin music' somehow manages to be even worse

'i'm on one' and 'aston martin music' are 5 star classics fuiud

^^^

otm

i'm guessing the Tyga song would be right up there, but i've never heard it so i'm gonna go with 'Deuces'

'aston martin music' is like a subtly terrible plastic surgery job and drake is the part where the surgeon fucked up

that guest spot was one of the more tolerable things he did pre-Take Care!!!

there's a beat on the yelawolf album where justice league just blatantly recycle "aston martin music"

anyway

top 5 -- i like all of these songs a lot

1 marvin's room
2 loving you no more
3 round of applause
4 headlines
5 i'm on one

bottom 5 -- all of these songs are legitimately terrible

5 she will (beat & hook are cool but the verses are so unforgivable)
4 still got it (this is somehow worse than you'd expect, it just sounds so completely unpleasant)
3 all of the lights (the radio jam in spite of itself rendered unlistenable)
2 deuces remix (arguably the worst work of the career of every single person on this song)
1 right above it (this song is just an utter mess, i'm still not entirely convinced that the beat and vocals were supposed to go together)

i might like the "I'm On One" beat if "Poppin' Bottles" wasn't such a superior prototype

"She Will" is pretty decent imo -- it's not like Wayne's verses on it are any worse than Drake's verses on most of these other songs

i agree that 'i'm on one' is a pretty bogus bite but its got a better/more memorable melodic synth hook to it imo

j0rdan ranking effin marvins room & headlines ahead of the aforementioned tracks is rme

like, headlines works but its *so* generic production wise

i feel like 'marvins room' is basically a love him / hate him litmus test for drake. to me, that's everything bad about Drake in one song pretty much

the video is actually LOOKING AT A PARTY THROUGH SMOKE lmao

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

"i'm on one" is a great beat & hook and it feels so close to being epic but ross' verse is the only one that is anywhere near great, and he's done much better elsewhere

the "headlines" production is pretty generic and kinda stays out of the way but i just think the songwriting and rapping is better. it kinda is what it is whereas "i'm on one" just feels like a missed opportunity to me

Drake sips only on the finest well beverages and 2 for 1 special beers

(xpost)

"i'm on one" becomes basically unlistenable after ross' verse

the rapping on headlines is his most robotic we-drink-to-my-ac-comp-lish-ments-here's-a-syl-la-ble-for-ev-e-ry-beat flow ever, fuck outta here

i think they make that real measured kinda feel work -- it's very mathematical & workmanlike

if you build a drake song-generating computer in 2009, the jaded-about-fame-2nd-album-singles it would've made would be "headlines" and "marvin's room"

built

had i known that in 09 i might've been less harsh on the dude

he had a few songs back then that are better than those!

songs i actually like because of drake: moment 4 life
songs i really like where his presence is incidental: unusual, poppin' bottles, loving you no more, round of applause
songs i might like if he weren't on them: aston martin music, what's my name, take care, she will
pure garbage: headlines, marvin's room, make me proud, right above it, crew love, i'm on one, fall for your type

"i'm on one" beat is too good to fuck up that easily imo

the squiggly synth line is nice but i feel like i've heard things like that enough before and nothing else about the production is very hype

cant believe people hate aston martin music

lol forgot that drake was on LTTP

ross + the beat are alright, but drake's goofy TOOYOO accent and chrisette's beyond inane hook kinda ruin it for me

yeah the hook on that is pretty fucking lame

thats crazy. the hook is a huge part of why that song is awesome

im not going to have a MARVINS ROOM fan dismissing the hook to aston martin music

i know that listening to the yeah yeah yeahs really resonates with you

chrisette michel's hook is sick

i know that listening to the yeah yeah yeahs really resonates with you

ive told jordan this story irl but i always thought that was something kind of funny about the hook, how 'listening to the yeah yeah yeahs' is a sign of like affluence or w/e for chrisette michel whereas i associate it w/ dirty basement hipster parties from my jr. year of college.

i like aston martin music a lot but drake's part on it is irredeemably terrible

otm

i actually like the beat to headlines cause it sounds sort of like philip glass

worst part about aston martin music is drake going UNGH every time

the song is kinda cool but it really starts to grate after a bunch of listens imo

"she will" is so, so bad and one of the few on this list i actually hear on the radio like everyday

drake is public cornball number one in my book but marvins room and headlines sound great compared to other stuff in clear channel radio rotation, imo

How does aston martin "grate" exactly? Thats about the last word I would use to describe it, it's the most sumptuous track

hook is annoying

that repetition of "aston... martin... music"

isn't "aston martin music" way old? i don't think i've given it a second thought since hearing it for the first time. it's not very notable really.

i think "mr wrong" is quite easily the best song here, and that's definitely despite drake, who i have to fwd past every time

worst is pretty tough. all these songs are on regular radio rotation in the US? best argument i've ever seen for not listening to the radio

actually "mr. wrong" just describes your posts itt

hook is annoying

insane terrible opinions from u lately whats the deal

of those that i've heard i think 'aston martin music' is actually the best, the worst easily being 'headlines'

bizarre results

btw the other day i was at a newsstand w/ my brother-in-law and i told him to go check out how ridiculous Drake looked on the cover of The Source and he went "there's a thesaurus with Drake on the cover?" and i just died

i didn't even see this poll before.

there's totally an aspirational indie rock thing going on among certain black folks

i had no idea there were so many drake songs, the situation is even worse than i thought

just tried to watch that marvins room video and it was so bad and i was trying to click away from the thread but but ilx was being slow it was taking too long and i started to panic

"i ain't went this hard since i was 18"

degrassi season two wrap party

"i ain't went this hard since i was 18"

this is such a funny line to me

yeah it kind of sets up my whole "yeah whatever dude" attitude to the rest of the song

"I'm On One" was The Source's "Song of the Year" in their 250th issue. Take that news and do what you like with it.

The Source ain't went this hard since their 184th issue

i think its a better candidate than most. that beat was so good. i like the whole atmosphere of it. Drake had a dope hook.

that line does make him seem like he discovered slang after graduating high school, but

well Tha Carter II was 'the album that made him want to rap' and that dropped when he was like 19

god "Make Me Proud" is so awful? do the Take Care stans even rep for this song?

ha no question mark on "awful"

Not a Drake stan but I'm Drake tolerant, I don't like that song at all. Horrible and annoying melodies/lyrics all over it.

t-minus is a really shitty producer

the guy who did "How Low" and "Moment 4 Life," to say nothing of your beloved "I'm On One"?

and "Poppin' Bottles"! that shit bangs!

"how low" is pretty good, i never understood your head over heels love for the "moment 4 life" beat and yeah "i'm on one" is cool but it's also a co-production so who really knows

maybe i should've said that all his beats on the drake album are the worst ones

considering that "I'm On One" sounds more like "Poppin' Bottles" than any 40 beat i think T-Minus deserves some credit. in any event T-Minus >>>> the other members of Drake's mentally challenged Ontario Bomb Squad

"The Motto" and "Make Me Proud" beats definitely suck though yeah

i'm so i'm so i'm so i'm so i'm so proud of you = worst excuse for a hook i've heard in ages

^ Exactly

Yeah, I have to assume that if this same poll were done again today, "Make Me Proud" would get much more attention - I don't remember hearing it much before the last month or two at most, and boyyyyyyyy is it bad, almost redefines the "lazy Drake hook" for 2012.

"The Motto" I actually kinda like, although the video is almost unprecedentedly lazy, as if they only had about ten minutes each to shoot Drake and Weezy, and just had to make do with what they got. I cannot make sense of the wardrobe in any case.

'the motto' is a cool song, its the kind of thing anyone could have released & made a hit w/ & its not very "drake-y" but thats to its great benefit

It sounds like a Tyga song.

which may explain why it's good

-_-

hehe

I cannot make sense of the wardrobe in any case.

srsly

leopardskin? green uggs? why are these people. how is tyga the best performer on here by some distance? i like the beat, better than anything on the actual album, but it needs some energy that drake can never provide and wayne seems uninterested in providing. which is why the kalenna version >>>>>
