Thinking about what is possibly the most thrilling moment in all recorded music

If Drake planted the info I can’t wrap my head around how poorly he’s made use of that tactic. Genuinely baffling that the second Meet the Grahams dropped he didn’t drop a screenshot as proof, am I going crazy? How are some people not using their brains on this?.

“Guys come on, we already KNEW these horribly embarrassing, cringeworthy and fraudulent attributes of the guy we’re supporting, so really they don’t matter”.
Kendrick hasn’t said a single thing we didn’t already know tbh, this is getting boring.

If you think all Pusha did on The Story of Adidon was reveal that Drake has a child, you didn't listen to the song properly.

Damn yeah that ‘fake’ depression must have been really hitting when his dad, with whom he suffered a complicated relationship he never got to resolve, died. He did an extra good job of ‘faking’ it when he cancelled his tour dates, wow.
Today an year ago Earl Sweatshirt dropped his worst album Some Rap Songs. The most fake depressed hip hop album ever. Dragging ass production finds Earl torturing listeners till their ears bleed. Absolute dumpster of an album. This cover still stinks.

The Life of Pablo to me is like walking through a Kanye museum, showcasing glimpses of different eras of his career up to then. The fact it’s so wonderfully untamed and imperfect is fitting in that sense. It’s one of his most visceral works to date and I’m so glad it grew on me.

Just wanna say Mac Miller did goofy pop rap, atmospheric, psychedelic cloud rap, comedy/horrorcore, psych jazz rap, pop rap with a jazzy edge, outright soul/funk, watery, hazy stuff and then a soft rock album lol, he has to be in the convo even if not EVERY venture was great.

Different writers, different years, different artistic intentions within the albums, different context, different panel of people deciding the score. It's not as simple as 'oh Pitchfork thinks Invasion of Privacy is better than Blackstar'.

Pusha on that song was like some kind of evil psychiatrist. He dissected Drake's very essence - insulted his upbringing, his artistic credibility, his sense of racial identity and made jabs at his evident insecurities. He absolutely embarrassed him. And that's okay!.

Nah seriously lol . 1. Billy Woods. An unique delivery, layered, dense and incredibly charismatic writing and a virtually airtight catalogue of fantastic albums. Billy has continuously made some of the most forward-thinking, conceptual and fascinating hip-hop of the decade.

Music twitter capes for his mediocre music so goddamn hard. They’ll talk about his albums on release as if they’re AOTY contenders and then never speak of them again. Honestly a really uninspired and unambitious artist who offers little more than aesthetic. Just how I feel.

In a world of virtually unlimited music to listen to, it’s profoundly misguided for a music writer to encourage people to go back to an album like CLB.

It was also, and this is something that even Drake himself (!!) has admitted, calculated to utter perfection: he ruined Drake's album rollout, put him in an immensely awkward place with his private life, and made him APOLOGISE WITH A NOTES APP SCREENSHOT for using blackface 😭😭.

You're right, 'good punchlines over wonky beats' is not GOAT-worthy. What IS GOAT-worthy is enigmatic, intricate and endlessly witty lyricism over textured and detailed sample-weaving, creating an experience that sounds in its own world, boosted by a charming loose concept.

1. Logic / Bobby Tarantino / Young Sinatra / The God. How could it be anybody else? Deep, super-woke content, bars for days and the guy can rap sooo fast it’s crazy. The best lyricist of this decade and MAYBE all time.
