Its shit

Way Better Than Views

Yeah. Drake has started to fall off.

>>71676862
Sad too. He never really made a classic record like I hoped he would. It always felt like he was on the cusp of greatness, until it didn't.

I agree. Coming from someone who liked some songs on Views.

>>71676889
I guess IYRTITL was his magnum opus

>>71677076
There are 3 dance hall tracks on more life. Madiba riddim song, passionfruit, blem that's it. 3 out 20. Not counting skepta and Sampha songs

>>71676821
Disagree. I think this is significantly better than views. It has a defined, atmospheric and enveloping sound, thanks to its fantastic production. Also I think drake delivers some solid introspective and often gloomy lyrics which was a refreshing surprise. I got plenty of take care vibes. This is a lot more than generic background core music like that of views. 7/10 for me

>>71677134
it's 3 too many and he's not mentioning just more life. He's come out with a lot of whitewashed dancehall shit lately. Like on views

More life best house album of the year

not sure if it was drake honestly have you seen the writing credits?

We're talking about more life. Views was dance hall album.

3 dance hall songs out of 22 songs isn't a dance hall album lol.

>>71677169
dancehall isnt inherently bad you just dont like that genre but personally shit makes me wanna move

because he's a better rapper than drake

>>71676821
Wrong. It's shit.

>>71678103
What? We only pretend to not like it because apparently everybody must like it since it's popular? If this is bait then it's good bait because I'm on the hook dude. Also, fuck you either way.

More Life only makes you appreciate IYRTITL and NWTS even more.

>>71677179
this
still better than views

1.) Nothing Was The Same
2.) If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
3.) Take Care
4.) What A Time To Be Alive
5.) Views
6.) So Far Gone
7.) More Life
8. Thank Me Later

I thought it was better than Views but still way too long and still too much dancehall/grime. The production was a lot better on this than Views and there are more good songs on this than Views. That said, it still isn't on par with his earlier work. Not even close.

NWTS > Take Care > IYRTITL >> SFG > TML >> More Life > Views

>>71676821
whats the difference between a playlist and an album here?

>>71678453
nonexistent

Can we talk about how good Thugger is on Sacrifices? Honestly incredible stuff.

It's mediocre but not as bad as Views.

Views is 4, More Life is 5

This whole culture vulture thing is really getting old. Why does he feel the need to hop on everybody's waves? It's given us whitewashed dancehall and other vaguely tropical music and now he's looking into grime. The "One Dance" effect's probably gonna happen again
>Drake scores a number one hit with scrubbed-down grime
>Every rap song for the following year follows his formula

true, man

>>71677322
Some of the writing credits can be attributed to samples, though. Danny Brown's credited on Free Smoke because a song by him and Tony Yayo called Roll Up was sampled

>>71678924
archives buddy.

>>71678793
That was a huge highlight.

Hearing young thug without auto tune and flowing that slowly and audibly. When he shifts back into his more yelping flow is quite something

>>71677700
good point. hip hop community is more concerned with authenticity, whereas for pop music fans, generally, its taken for granted that it's all gonna be unoriginal trite bullshit anyway.

>>71678151

>>71677533

>>71676821
listened to it less than 12 hours ago and I've already forgot every song except Passionfruit

portland, sacrifices, teenage fever, lose you and fake love are good. the rest range from bad to ok

Hermes Link, Ice Blue Mink

>>71676862
>started

that '4422 - Gyalchester - Skepta Interlude - Portland (i knew he would hop on the flute beat trend) - Sacrifices' combo is amazing really

the skepta interlude is fire. I like how Drake got both skepta and giggs on this album.

We are gonna see both more of the british rappers dominate hip hop soon but they will also change the sound and the game as a whole.

The game is about to change. Screenshot this

>>71676821
the fuck? this has been out for like 2 weeks and i just now realized it's by drake. lol

>>71676889
So Far Gone was his classic, If You're Reading This... was his masterpiece. Everything in between and after was bullshit.

>>71678427
Quality list. My only personal change would be More Life over Views

>>71681168
not screenshotting anything from someone who actually thinks the Skepta Interlude was good

>>71681182

you mean 2 days

>>71681168
might take awhile. US hip hop fans still think british rappers are cringey and sound like shit.

>falling off

>>71678793
The only songs I like are the ones with as little Drake as possible.

>>71681535
kinda this he is massively outshon but almost everyone else on the album

So I sat through 1h and 30m of this and here are my thoughts:

Free Smoke - Weird samples, bland beats, nothing special

No Long Talk - Bad lyrics and boring beats. Giggs wasn't that great either.

Passionfruit - Easily the best track on the album. Really nice production, relaxing beats and even the lyrics is good. If this is dancehall Drake, then more of it pls.

Jorja Interlude - Interlude, nice samples but nothing special really.

Get It Together- I like the techno beats and Jorjas vocals, lyrics is shit tho.

Madiba Riddim - Sounds just like One Dance, so pretty boring overall, but I do like the tropical vibes.

Blem - Boring and bland beats once again. Lyrics is just as bad. Definitely the worst out of his dancehall tracks on the record.

4422 - One of the better tracks on the album, mostly thanks to Sampha. But yeah, it's an interesting track.

Gyalchester - Transition between this and 422 was really great but Idk how I feel about this track overall. The trap beats are great but Drakes rapping doesn't really fit on them desu.

Skepta Interlude - I really like the Grime sound and Skepta is lit. Clever lyrics too.

Portland - What the fuck is that flute sample lmao. Drake is actually pretty lit on this, definitely better than Quavo and Travis. Overall pretty meh.

Sacrifice - Thugger on fire, as always. I don't understand people who say he sounds the same every time. 2 Chainz is meh, Drake is boring. Beat is nice. Still one of the better ones.

tbc

>>71681763
Nothings Into Somethings - Interesting vibe, but that's it.

Teenage Fever - Really fucking nice production. Getting Weeknds new albums vibes from this. Lyrics are good too.

KMT - The whole song feels so exaggerated and Giggs again fucking sucks. Horrible lyrics.

Lose You - Interesting production again on this. Drake is lit, getting Western Road Flows vibes, which was the best song on Views. So I really like this, one of the best tracks on this record.

Can't Have Everything - Nice flow, but everything else is bland and boring.

Glow - Not as good as I expected from Kanye, but it's an interesting track. Definitely falls to the above-average tracks category.

Since Way Back - This just fucking sucks. Instant skip

Fake Love - Beats and lyrics are nothing special, but it's better than half of the shit on here.

Ice Melts - Not as good as Thuggers feature on Sacrifice. Production is bland too.

Do Not Disturb - Really uninspiring actually. But I've seen worse closers.

So pretty much the album is way too long and most of the tracks can be removed. Passionfruit, Lose You and Teenage Fever are my favourites. 4422, Skepta Interlude, Sacrifice, Glow and Fake Love can stay too.

Overall it's a strong 5/10 I guess. Some pretty good tracks on it, but mostly just boring shit.

really disappointed with the thug collabs

Is Canadian Slang that much like british slang? Or is he just really getting into the whole grime stuff

>>71681832
he has been supporting grime artist for a while he just decided this album hed immitate them

>>71681854
Yeah i know he's been supporting them for a while, its always been pretty big in Britain anyway. Just odd hearing a Canadian guy saying shit like 'Wasteman'

I actually love it. But then again, I actually like house and especially the kind thats coming out of South Africa right now which is what this seems to mirror, but with insanely good production.

>>71676821
I liked this way more than views, more energy in this.

>>71681509
are you being ironic? If not then you should know that: popularity /=/ quality

This album is ahead of the curve in thats its future sounds that the world aint ready for yet but will soon realise is goat.

Honestly the dancehall tracks like madiba and passionfruit are growing on me.

I just wish he produced a cohesive project rather than just copping out by calling it a "playlist"

>>71681965
Im saying hes not "falling off" either way.

>>71682006
this

at first i wasn't really fucking with them. but now that i've heard them a few times, they just make you want to groove 2bh

>>71676889

Take Care and Nothing was the same was all very superior to his recent stuff

I just want something with take care vibes

Can we just talk about how good Passionfruit is? Literally his best track of all time.

>>71682419
The fuck I don't understand everyone. It's a dancehall cut with 0 energy. Fucking none, it doesn't make you want to dance it doesn't make you want to groove it makes you want to sleep.

>>71677322
Yeah I've seen the writing credits, but I don't really care, he's grown past being a rapper, he's a pop star now. But at least his music is staying relatively refreshing and slightly innovative.

a great album. nuff said

>Batman, dununu dunu

what did he mean by this?

>>71682509
This. The only good dancehall song Drake has done is Too Good and even that is somewhat bland.

I feel like Quavo, Travis, 2 Chainz, and Thugger made Drake sound like a feature on his own songs

he´s not even trying

>>71683368
birds and bars = bad
bring them all = good
name brand = bad
speakerbox = bad
back with a banger = bad
joe bloggs = ok
patter up properly = ok
cant go wrong = good
bang = bad
u were always = bad
on this = bad, also fuck chipmunk
bait face = bad

like it or not = bad
lucid = good
laptop = bad
p money = fucking god tier

lyrically it is sick but the production is pretty weak

>>71683422
Why would he? This shit sells on his name alone, regardless of what critics or internet memers think

>>71683466
i thought the bars were weak but thought the production made up for it

>>71683508
i havent fully properly listened to it since it came out, i dont really listen to grime anymore desu

>>71683466
> u were always - bad
> holy grime not listed

I genuinely don't think there's a bad song in between passionfruit and sacrifices. Skepta interlude is forgettable.

>>71683589
bring them all / holy grime = same song

u were always isnt grime

>>71683589
not him but holy grime is bring them all retard

>>71683589
you were always does suck though, its on par with jcole's deja vu

>>71678923
>culture vulture
Opinion discarded

>>71684331
Am I wrong?

>>71678923
Drake's interest in the UK seems like more than a culture vulture thing desu.

He was spamming screenshots from old Lord of the Mics clashes on his Instagram a few years back, before grime had even started becoming a thing again.

He's fucked with Skepta for a while now and they've collabed before.

When he came out at the Section Boyz show he was rapping every single word.

He's collaborated with Dave and apparently AJ Tracey too, who are up-and-comers and aren't exactly super well known unless you listen to that kind of music, which he obviously does.

He's said several times Giggs is his favourite rapper at the moment. He genuinely seems to be a fan of this shit.

>>71683466
>also fuck chipmunk
Is this 2009?
Chip's been making grime again for a couple years now and he absolutely destroyed 2 MCs in 2 well publicised beefs that did a lot for the grime scene.

If you ignore the pop career he's a good MC.

his dad ticks me off

Is it pronounced Jiggs or Gigs

What intrigued me more than anything about More Life was the fact that #AllTheTime(Issa) was left off. Does this mean #Hitunes soon? Thugger already carried More Life and if Issa made it Drake would have been forgotten bigly.

>>71684734
Gigs

can't believe Drake's let Giggs on this, how can someone work with a scumbag like that

>he absolutely destroyed 2 MCs
which ones just out of interest

>>71684249
still a shit song

>>71684669
If youre referring to bugzy and yungen heres my response

Bugzy's relegation riddim destroyed chip. That one track blew him into the scene, bars for bars it could be argued that chip was ahead. But overall, Bugzy just produced better songs

As for yungen, the peri peri track was good but mentioning 67 seemed like a cop out. One min he acts like hes not about that life, then he drops 67 to make yungen shook. Not really indicative of his skills as an MC

First two songs were nice
The dancehall section from Passionfruit to Blem was a nightmare
The rest was decent but forgettable.
5.something song for song but light 4 as an album

anyone else wish drake would make more songs like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwr2fdCeLEc

moody, atmospheric beats, really emotional lyrics about him being on top of the game but the isolation he feels

>Can’t tell you how much I love when niggas think they got it
>And I love the fact that line made 'em think about it

>>71684639
i certainly agree that the grime is a lot less contrived than the dance hall and afrobeat

>>71684750
honestly I feel like this with just about everything thugga has done for the past few years. There is no one in the game as interesting as he is

>>71685448
Shame he has never been on top

>>71678427
Interesting list, I don't agree with it but I can't say its not accurate

>>71685314

Overall a strong 7 to light 8, his best project since IYRTITL, I'm a big fan of old Take Care Drake and there's a lot of that vibe on this project

If you listen to Drake you are a normalfag.

>>71677533
Take Care > NWTS > More Life > IYRTITL > Thank Me Later > So Far Gone >>>> Views

>>71678427
I think Take Care resonated so heavily with me because it was so much better than Thank Me Later and the guy grew the fuck up as an artist so fast it blew my mind a little. I listened to that album nearly everyday in highschool. Fucked a few girls to songs off that album.

Nice list, I'd switch the top three around a little bit and I think More Life deserves more credit.

It should be acknowledged the the top three albums on this list are leaps and bounds better than the bottom five.

>>71686996
Can't Have Everything is a banger. Otherwise you're bang on.

>>71687078
Controversial ranking. I think you may be ahead of your time and on to something though.

>>71685528
I don't think the dance hall influence is very contrived at all, I think he just really likes banging groupies from the Caribbean. Still doesn't mean he should be doing it from an artistic perspective however.

>>71686996
Ice Melts is a true banger la

>>71687078
>More Life above IYRTITL
wew

>>71687205
I'd probably move Ice Melts and Glow to bangers after a while, they're certainly growing on me
>>71687207
Aggressive Drake isn't as good as the emotional Drake, but maybe that's because I grew up on the old Drake his old stuff is just too relatable

I didn't realize how good of an album IYRTITL was until I heard him rap the songs live headlining a music festival in front of nearly 100,000 people. The guy is a natural born showman. I wonder if he's still got it.

>>71677213
speaking of thugger, have you guys noticed that Ice Melts is literally a Broccoli clone

>>71687352
I've heard this comparison earlier but I really don't see it, like at all, the only similarity really is the piano on the beat but Brocollis piano pattern was generic as fuck anyways

>>71683006

I can understand why people might like Passionfruit. I still think it's bland but it's growing on me. Portland's one of the standouts

The true patrician choice is gyalchestor,sacrifice,and 4422

>>71690708
The fucking vocal melody on Passionfruit. It's perfect and it makes up forthe cheesy dancehall sound.
