>>130354270>the best thing he’s done since VIEWS Not saying much.>and the most interesting rap album in years.Not saying much. Also, I doubt that because there was nothing interesting about those links you posted. I would unironically rather bump this:https://youtu.be/cPTLPTf5INYor this:https://youtu.be/JxT61_LcQS8
>>130354270Can you shut the fuck up shill?Rap is not music.
>>130355430Prove it
>>130355435Someone was doing a compositional analysis of the songs in Rolling Stone's Top 500 a few years back and they literally had to leave Public Enemy out because there was nothing musical for the program to analyze
hey bud, you just wander in from the retard factory?
>>130354270>Best rap albumSkinniest kid in fat camp situation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J--rO7FP16U&list=RDJ--rO7FP16U&start_radio=1not much a rap guy but had to remind myself when it was pretty good a decade ago
>>130354270>https://youtu.be/JffHTWti1esthe last like idk 20 seconds when the beat really kicks in was really good, thats about what I can say from these songs
>>130355482seething

>>130354270I don't listen to jew pop rap but i don't think the shilling is working.
>>130356584huh
>>130356584You don't seem to understand. Iceman made the RYM hivemind irrelevant. You lost. Give your man another Pulitzer prize, give him a Fantano strong 9, give him a Pitchfork Best New Music. Write a thinkpiece. It doesn't matter. You're all going down on the same ship. It's over.Iceman won.
>drake>popslop>rapfuck off back to where you came from
>>130354270I have been convinced by the songs you posted and will give it a listen
>>130357393This. The album is so obviously not a 2 or a 4.8 and will still succeed viciously so it just hurts whatever credibility fantano and pitchfork have left. Its actually sad how fantano used to be a tastemaker turning people on to new stuff. Now, his main goal seems trying to express the opinion that won't get him cancelled. He hasn't the same since that stupid article about how he was alt-right associated
>>130358176>Secrets i know got you stressed >will i take those to my death…>…haven’t decided just yetlol i love petty drake
>>130359145He’s still mad that Drake ruined his marriage kek
>>130354270https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qpe2qlERWYGIRLS FROM ATLANTA CALL ME SANTA
>>130359332Its cool how he starts with a "girl song drake" type intro to the song and then is like "ok but ive got business to do ladies" and hard switches into the mean trap beat and then the album is all rap from there on out
Have you listened to sematary? You know nothing.
>>130359656whatever happened to this guy
>>130359624sometimes I don't notice shit like this and then I feel retarded when someone points it out
it took me way too long to realize he was making a six on the cover
>>130360430what does the 6 mean, im not familiar with modern nig shit but he mentions the 6 a lot
>>130360706the six boroughs:Old TorontoEast YorkNorth YorkScarboroughEtobicokeYork
>>130360719
>>130359624>>130360408He also says "Triple S was really to show you my love, and make sure you're good till the next time we meet up"Triple S being in reference to his previous collab album with PartyNextDoor $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which was the last thing he released before Iceman. "Next time we meet up" would either be whatever he ends up doing next as an independent artist after the end of his UMG contract, or the other two albums he released alongside Iceman, which people would probably be checking out afterwards.
>>130360719>>130360739oh
>>130360958Was trying to think what it was that threw me about the idea that $$$4U is for the womenObviously he's singing to women on those songs. If I imagined those "yous" were aimed at me, I'd have to be gayBut on the other hand, here on Iceman he's talking ostensibly directly to his enemies. The idea that he only wants those people listening to the music is nonsense, obviously.So obviously there's a kind of kayfabe "this song is for the ladies" and a reality that it's made as art for a general audience. We are all watching a performance of "Drake sings to his lover", and it's a compelling piece of music.But there are a lot of people who take the performance literally. "Are you gay? This song is for girls." It's unsettling to think how common this is... A lot of people can't step back and look at art from a critical perspective
>>130361139Yeah but on the other hand Drake fans enjoy pretending they're the girl and getting they bussies wet. Champagne Papi whispering in your ear through your headphones and you like it
Fucking hell OVHOES are relentlessDrake lostIt's overHang onto the fanbase you have and don't try to gaslight the rest of humanity.
10/10 no skips, drake's masterpieceOne of the greatest storytelling hip hop records everI haven't even checked out the other albums yet because I've just been replaying ICEMANHe must have been working night and day on perfecting this thing
>>130361139Another fun track is Don't worry, which is a super sugary singing track where he brags about a girl showing up in all pink, and his buddies are drunkenly blasting sugary sweet party music like cardi b and playboi carti ("im sorry" because they dont get along anymore). And then he starts talking in the same happy melody how he wants to see her next guy struggling to make payments, missing payments, and begging on the pavement. I assumed he was talking about kendrick but it could be somebody else and it probably is a real person. Drake gets pretty disrespectful on this whole thing
>>130354270it isn't
>>130363284what is?
>>130360430I saw some retard went into a three paragraph diatribe about the masonic hand symbol until someone told him it was a six lol>>130359624never caught this, that’s cool, but the beat switches are still a piss off for me
>>130360719>>130360706actually its just the area code for Toronto (416)
>>130362701Dont Worry was one of my favourite tracks. Sounds like Drake is just taking you on a journey through a night out in the city https://youtu.be/e3Td8oVfhjs
>>130365134Beat reminds me of Tuesday
>>130354270Honestly yes, the only other Album I Really couldn't get enough of was Act II.Cole had a chance to drop it but kept fucking up same with YE. >Kendrick just chose to write garbage and throwaways.This album is complete you probably have a 18/18 and even if you are harsh you still end up with a 14/18 run. When was the LAST TIME that's happened? In 2020s?This might be it.
>>130355430Calm down inbred racist. Go hug your dad/uncle.
>>130359145Ironically Pitchfork and Fantano were the metric /mu/ went by now they are no LONGER relevant.
>>130354270Drake fucking sucks though. There are far better artists in similar genres. Drakes music is mid at best.
>>130365668like who
>>130365147thought so too
>>130362654There’s a story?
>>130362654It's definitely a better album than the criticfags say. Only listened to it once through juicetube ads and shit, Iceman, is definitely a record he's been aiming to make, nails the approach, it's honed in on a feeling. I'm also at the age where I'm gladly content with my Sean Price albums for this rap shit. But nah, it's a solid collection of joints. >>130366111Witnessed, yeah, what's the story?
>>130354270Its okayIts his best album since views yeahBut all his albums from 2017-2023 were bad
>>130367536yes. what is the story?
>>130367536Anon, Im curious, how would you rank Drake’s main catalog (including IYRT and More Life) excluding Iceman? For me its Views, IYRTITL, More Life, NWTS, Take Care, Scorpion, FATD, CLB, TML
>>130367576I got basically the same ranking, Take Care over NWTS, I think Scorpion gets a bad rap, but I'd throw in So Far Gone since that was the gamechanger, plus I recall how the atmosphere slightly changed when that dropped, SFG went hard af
>>130367857I think if he condensed Scorpion down it would be a great album but for me both sides are like 5s, what did you like about Scorpion
>>130354270You on crack, nigger?
>>130354270Trump says it is. Give Drake his flowers.
>>130367536I've listened like 10-15 times at this point. it's a concept album about the rap beef from a very personal angle. It's not a linear story but a landscape painting of the life of the biggest star and boss of the industry who got hit by a coordinated attempt by the envious masses to end his career and life. During this time, he lost hundreds of people he thought were his friends. They seemes to turn on him for no reason as he had actually dropped the ladder down to most of them. In solitude with no one he can trust, he honed and sharpened his pen game to sub zero temperatures and became ICEMAN. He emerges now, telling everyone who slighted him to fuck off and kill themselves. He craves poverty and suffering for anyone who slighted him. There are themes that run throughout such as the deception of the music industry, the facades people make of themselves, and it is mocking and trolling these things... I'm kind of going on a tangent here but there's a lot to say
>>130370839Cap
Burning bridges is so good. Where she at…where she at.. Probably top 3 Drake album if you ask me.
>>130370886You know I'm actually starting to like drake but being associated with people like you makes me ashamed of that. Why can't you just be like, not a faggot?
>>130370886>a landscape painting of the life of the biggest star and boss of the industryYes, that's an apt description of every Kanye album, but what does that have to do with Aubrey's latest slop?>who got hit by a coordinated attempt by the envious masses to end his career and lifeDrake ruined his own career by releasing nothing but god-awful slop for the past decade to game his streaming numbers, signing that horrendous deal with Lucian, putting on a hardened gangsta persona that's laughable coming from Jimmy Wheelchair from Degrassi, engaging in parasitic clout-chasing towards every up-and-coming rapper and scene and then throwing them away once he's leeched all the clout, and repeatedly starting beefs he couldn't win against actual rappers who could pick him apart lyrically. Nobody made him do any of this and he would have been just fine if he had stuck to being the soft bubblegum pop singer he always was.
way you keep biting your tonguewhat's gon be left for me when I want some...
Rick ross "traumatized" listening to ICEMANhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Drizzy/s/qujIGrWuOb
damn drake became the incel of the rap game.

>>130357393Iceman won what else
>>130365657Rap isn't music and shouldn't be included on mu.
>>130371491Check out More Life anon, or VIEWS on a late night drive, thank me later (pun intended)
>>130371992ICEMAN WON WHAT ELSE
>>130359145>>130371976It's hard to take you seriously when you are white and a fucking cuck along with your RYM fags
>>130372494This selection of two quotes makes it very difficult to understand what you are trying to say
>>130372494Yes I am white you mad brown boy
Only listened to the album seven times before I noticed the point that Michael Jackson was also falsely accused of pedophiliaAnd the album releases just after a feel-good MJ biopic greenlit by the Jackson family to revive his reputationMassive "fuck you" from Drake to all the liars and gossips of the world who though they could take down a king of pop again, working form the same playbook. Not only is he not dead, he's bringing back Michael tooIceman won
>>130372987And also there are those who say that they went after him over the moves he made in the publishing industryCorporate America hit survivor
>>130372987>falsely accusedlollmaogive me a break
>>130374360moron
>>130354270not music
>>130354270if you listen to drake or kendrick and call yourself a fan of rap or speak on rap you are no different than cattle
>>130361165Its not that hard to imagine yourself in his position when he’s rapping about stuff like being on a bunch of different drugs in a strip club when you’ve done shit like that
>>130374739There’s no consolation at the end for depriving yourself of Drake your whole life
>>130374895i listened to most of his discography before and im done listening to this talentless industry jew
>>130374922Hating popular things isn’t a personality. Most of us enjoy his music and he has songs for just about anything: gym, long drives, parties/functions, in the bedroom. Dude just doesn’t miss
>>130374360Dawg do you literally just camp out every thread on this board waiting for someone to bring up MJ??? I barely even go to this place anymore but you're still fixed on this shit like it's the highest form of entertainment. I used to make fun of you for it but it's just sad at this point.
