It makes sense to why Drake was hitting the gym so much. Can't be frail with Serena as your chick.

most number ones ever how long did it really take me?

the part i love most is that they need me more than they hate me

that's why they never take shots i got everybody on safety

i could load every gun with bullets that fire backwards, prolly wouldn't loose a single rapper.

n----s make threats cant hear em over the laughter -- that's cause im headin to the bank n-----!

why does drake look like he sells iphone covers

 

Oct 28, 2016

B2B was always hot but it was never a good diss track, was way over hyped in the sense that people wanted it to be an ether.

First he dropped More Life this year ,which I admit was really nice,however...
it only sold around 250 k first week, that's a huge decline compared to his previous works
Second, Rihanna dumped him and now he has to cope with her fat copycats

Third, Kendrick took this year from him by dropping an album that had a bigger impact and probably a better album overall
and finally take a look at this picture

he looks like a homeless, a broken man and a forgotten artist whose time has run out. His pen has run out of ink...
Don't be surprised if he is found dead in some dirty alley in toronto covered by Rihanna photos holding an empty bottle of virginia black
How the mighty have fallen...

Spoiler: I CHANGED MY MIND

This is one corny thread I made aye

ANYWAY. I was wrong. Drake finally clicked with me this month. Lemme just go over this again real quick

Thank Me Later
It's a cool debut. Definitely not a classic. Great songs tho, like Fancy, Over, Best I Ever Had ect.

Take Care
Ok this is definitely a classic. I'm still not HUGE on marvins room, but everything else is (almost) perfect. Cameras, Headlines, Over My Dead Body etc etc etc. And what a fucken outro The Ride is. I was so wrong about this album

Nothing Was The Same
I actually like this album less then i used to. The first half or so is cool, but there are some really bad songs towards the end like The Language. Not a classic but still pretty solid

IYRTITL
Saw this at my record store yesterday and copped this. I LOVE this album. Don't know what I was talking about when I said the second half is weak. The two Party tracks are great and used to, company, Jungle and You and the 6 are AMAZING. Definitely a highlight in his discog and pretty much a CLASSIC

What A Time To Be Alive
Did a 180 on this album, it's really fun. The chemistry is on point and they put out some solid tracks. Not a classic tho

VIEWS
s--- STILL TRASH

More Life
Pretty good album, he improved the dancehall and there's less corny bars. Get It Together is such a tune. Only problem with the album it's kinda renegades after renegades. Not a classic album (or playlist)

TL:DR: I used to be a drake hater, I've seen the light, I apologise for the slander. The dude is going down as one of the GOATS

IF YOU DONT THINK DRAKE HAS INFLUENCE OR CLASSICS YOUR DELUSIONAL

The title speaks for itself. How can this man be the GOAT without a classic album? It should be noted that i am not a drake hater, but i fail to see how this man can be as great as his fans claim to be without a classic album.

Comeback Season, So Far Gone and Other Irrelevant Mixtapes
I Generally can not remember a single track from any of his mixtapes besides Best I Ever Had. Maybe its because the rapping and production are nothing to phone home about. Drake hadn't found his formula just yet.

Thank Me Later
I dont even think you drake stans call this a classic. The highlights of this album is a track that was album on his subpar mixtape and a Kanye West 808s throwaway track. Its not very good at all.

Take Care
Now this will be the main point for you stans when the "classic" argument, but outside of your sometime delusional little cult, i dont think i've ever seen someone call this half baked, inconsistent "CLASSIC" an actual classic. It has a great intro followed by Shot For Me, which is painfully boring, then followed by the great track headlines, then the overrated Marvins room and then Kendrick renegade on the interlude. The tracklist follows the up/down pattern right up until the end where you will find practice, one of the worst Drake songs till date. You may argue this all you like, but this is not a hip hop classic.

Nothing Was The Same
Now this is my favourite Drake album , i actually will put this on sometimes and thoroughly enjoy it. The production is ambient throughout the album, Drake is actually spitting also doing a decent job or singing, its really consistent. But, no one at all , barely even drake stans call this a classic. In fact, it seems the most memorable thing about this album is Started From The Bottom, which isnt even one of the more memorable songs on the whole album. Its kind of disappointing how such a decent album has become so forgotten, especially by a rapper as big as Drake

If You're Reading This Its Too Late
This is what non drake fans tend to call his best album, however i disagree. While the first half is filled with fun, well (ghost)written bangers, it falls off really hard midway through the album (with the exception of 6 Man). Plus, this album has also been overshadowed by the career tainting allegations of ghostwriting and the Meek Mill beef. Not a classic

What A Time To Alive
I'm not even going to make the piss poor argument that they don't have good chemistry because Jumpman and Where Ya At are classic tracks. This album however, is repetitive, not fun, and in-cohesive. Futures flows arent anything revolutionary like they normally are, and Drake attempts to ride his wave. Definitely NOT a classic.

Views
...this may be lowkey the worst mainstream hip hop album of the decade, no exaggeration

---

So how has a man without a single classic album the hottest artist in the game? Simple. The toronto rapper has a plethora of classic tracks. Hotline Bling, Forever , Headlines, Best I Ever Had, Wu Tang Forever etc. There's probably enough of these to make an uber classic maybe even comparable to the likes of Illmatic and MBDTF (not even the best Ye album).

But until he finally reaches that classic album, his discography to me will always be a diet 808s and Heartbreaks for people who couldn't understand the experimentation Ye took. Will Drake ever have a classic album? Hopefully soon, because if hes following the path he was on , on Views, its not looking to good. But...

...More Life Soon?

 

Feb 28, 2017

Throughout his career, Drake has mastered the ability to bridge the gap between his major releases by dropping great songs on demand. These SoundCloud cuts — turned OVO Sound Radio leaks in recent years — have become as vital a part of Drake’s catalog as his album’s themselves. In hindsight, many of the songs unattached to a project are arguably better than the deep cuts which found their way onto his projects.

And so, we need to give these songs their proper due.

The criteria determining each song’s inclusion on the list is simple and goes as follows:

1. It must be unattached to any major project — either album or mixtape.
2. It must be an original Drake song — no remixes.
3. It cannot be a song Drake was featured on.
4. If it became a stand-alone “single” after its initial release as a soundcloud or OVO Sound Radio cut, that’s fine.

Number-one eliminates “Hotline Bling,”, “Trophies”, and “The Motion,”, considering they ended up on projects after their initial release; Number-two removes “Versace”, “2 On”, “Paris Morton Music”, and “Tuesday” — despite the fact that all four were better than the originals; Number-three is self-explanatory; And number-four allows the inclusion of — “0 to 100”, “Back to Back”, “Right Hand”, and “Summer Sixteen” — because they became stand-alone singles after their initial leak.

Without further ado, the 20 best “loosies” of Drake’s career.

#20— “I Get Lonely Too” — October 5, 2010


“Lonely” was emotional-Drake at his best. Following the June release of “Thank Me Later”, Drake diehards were underwhelmed by the rapper’s commercialized debut album — one that was oversaturated with features and pop beats. Just in time for cuffin’ season, “Lonely” brought back Drake circa “So Far Gone” — that of the dejected Aubrey we had grown to know and love.

#19 — “Right Hand” — July 25, 2015


During the second episode of OVO Sound Radio on Beats 1, Drake released the first diss-track targeting Meek Mill — “Charged Up.” Rightfully so, the song overshadowed its counterpart — “Right Hand”, despite the latter’s superiority. The song went on to become an iTunes single, but for the period of time it was only available on OVO’s Soundcloud, it was unfathomable that Drake had wasted a potential hit as a throwaway heat-check.

#18 — “My Side” — April 14, 2015


Against the sounds of muffled synths coming in and out, Drake begins the track by mumbling — This s--- sound like what being rich feel like, for real. The tounge-in-cheek line couldn’t have juxtaposed the feeling of instrospective loneliness more. And so began a dramatic track focusing on the idiosyncracies of a relationship. The back-and-forth internal struggle of every relationship was represented perfectly by the line — Why are we wasting a relationship on a relationship?

#17 — “Club Paradise” — September 10, 2011


“Club Paradise” provided the most information about Drake’s state of mind in the lead-up to what would end up being his most self-conscious album, Take Care. Though he’s f---ing up the double cheek kiss at Fashion Week, he’s beginning to understand the next stage of his evolution, and it’s all about who he needs to surround himself with. It’s about trust and who deserves it.

#16 — “Jodeci” — June 22, 2013


Two months before the release of his third album — “Nothing Was the Same” — “Jodeci” displays Drake’s growing self-awareness, as he begins to unapologetically establish his position in the upper echelon of Hip-hop.

#15 — “Girls Love Beyonce” — April 13, 2013


Here, Drake showcases his masterful ability to flip a forgotten ’90s RnB ballad to his advantage. Sampling Destiny’s Child’s, “Say My Name”, Drizzy’s lonely again, but at least this time he’s wiser — as he says later in the track, maybe to himself, “You know how this s--- goes/This is not four years ago.”

#14 — “I’m Ready For You” — August 2, 2010


In the summer following his debut album, Drake dropped this overlooked track, one that fuses the best parts of his sing-song Rap flow to perfection. Over a stereotypical pop-beat that every rapper was using at the time, Drake is able to outshine its mediocrity. After two and a half minutes of singing, Drake comes through with bars. In hindsight, although his flow is glaringly inferior to the one he went on to inhabit, “I’m Ready For You” still resonates.

#13 — “Heat of the Moment” — October 24, 2014


Leaked on Drake’s 28th birthday, “Heat of the Moment” was originally recorded for “Nothing Was the Same.” Based on the track’s introspective tone, you can imagine it fitting in right alongside “Too Much”, with Drake assessing his legacy with the help of a female companion — She asked me, who are you gonna be when it’s all over? Drake’s awareness of his own morality sets the foundation for the nostalgic track.

#12 — “Summer Sixteen” — January 30, 2016


With its premiere coinciding with the announced release date of the forthcoming, “Views”, “Summer Sixteen” was initially presumed to be the album’s first single. Instead, it became a certified promo for the upcoming project, with Drake making sure everyone knew he was still on top, with plans to dominate the rest of the year.

#11 — “4 PM in Calabasas” — June 4, 2016


Following with the enormous commercial success of “Views”, critics instead focused on the album’s underwhelming display of Drake’s mic skills. Then, as he often does when pressed, Drake responded with a hook-less, four minute track filled with straight bars. The track was Drake with a chip on his shoulder, as he unloaded the clip on anyone and everyone who has questioned his rapping since the ghostwriting allegations.

#10 — “Thotful” — May 12, 2014


After spending the first half of the track contributing a verse to Tinashe’s chart-topping hit — “2 On” — Drake flips the beat and turns it into one of his best sad-sack love songs. With “Thotful”, the rapper’s melodic chops are on full display as he sarcastically targets a “thoughtful” woman in his life.

#9 — “How Bout Now” — October 19, 2014


Drake is the king of petty. Yet, never before had he dragged one of his former lovers through the mud so shamelessly as he did on “How Bout Now.” Over a nostalgic chipmunked Jodeci sample, Drake taunts his ex unapologetically as he sits atop his throne — I bought your dad a bunch of s--- for Christmas/ He ain’t even say thank you

#8 — “Trust Issues” — June 21, 2011


As the self-proclaimed saying goes — Every song sounds like Drake featuring Drake. And so, “Trust Issues” was one of the first times Drake used the claim to his own advantage, turning the club smash — “I’m On One” — into an RnB drama. He’s essentially trying to make an R&B song with a guest verse from a rapper, except he’s a guest on his own song.

#7 — “Draft Day” — April 1, 2014


After establishing himself as the biggest rapper in Hip-hop with the previous fall’s, “Nothing Was the Same”, Drake remained quiet throughout the winter, while letting his successful headlining tour do the talking. Once spring came around, he was back to remind Hip-hop who possessed the throne. Drake sounds cool and cocky on “Draft Day,” the most casually arrogant display of rapping ability he’s ever recorded.

#6 — “9 AM in Dallas” — July 15, 2010


In a career full of “back against the wall” moments, consider “9 AM” Drake’s first response to adversity. Following his debut album, Hip-hop heads considered Drake to be walking the fine line between one-hit wonder and potential star. With “9 AM”, Drake appeared at his most comfortable, showcasing an unequivocal lyrical ability that was being brought into question. It began the AM/PM series that would become a footnote in his career, as he has made an effort to save his best bars for the time-stamp staples that followed — “5 AM in Toronto”, “6 PM in New York”, and “4 PM in Calabasas.”

#5 — “Dreams Money Can Buy” — May 10, 2011


Serving as the warning shot that jetstarted the rollout to “Take Care”, “Dreams” is Drake at his toungue-in-cheek peak. Over a not-so-subtle sample that frostily opens the track — Don’t f--- with me, don’t f--- with me — Drake is aspirational, confident, and self-aware, all at the same time.

#4 — “Back to Back” — July 29, 2015


In hindsight, it’s incomprehensible to view “Back to Back” through the same “Loosie” lens as the rest of the list. But if you remove the coinciding narrative — the beef with Meek Mill — “Back to Back” comes across as just another effortlessly braggadocios display by Drake. Like the GOAT he has used as a measuring stick throughout his whole career — Jay-Z — Drake ended the so-called beef before it began, by recording a hit smash disguised as a diss song.

#3 — “Days in the East” — April 3, 2014


Drake followed the s----talking “Draft Day” with the release of the melancholy, “Days in the East.” After spending most of the song crooning about a woman, the beat fades into the background as Drake makes the listener mistake his pillow-talk for rapping. In one of his most introspective moments, he essentially tells a story that famously begins with — Remember one night I went to Erykah Badu house, she made tea for me. We talked about love and what life could really be for me. She said “when that s--- is real you just know.”

#2 — “5 AM in Toronto” — March 13, 2013


After proving his artistry with the critically and commercially successful, “Take Care”, you would’ve thought Drake’s doubters had dried up. With that said, during the spring of 2013, Hip-hop had yet accepted Drake as one of the genre’s best. And then on “5 AM”, Drake birthed his villainous side. It’s obvious that Drake the rapper, is at his best with a chip on his shoulder. Never before or since has he rapped like his life depended on it. Over the last few years, this chip has grown smaller as Drake’s star has expanded, but if you ever need a reminder at his lyrical ability, look no further than “5 AM,” a track filled with some of the best one-liners of his career, yet you only need to look at the opening lines to understand the mind-set of 2013 Drake — You underestimated greatly
Most number ones ever, how long did it really take me?
The part I love most is they need me more than they hate me.

#1 — “0 to 100/ The Catch Up” — June 1, 2014


In twenty years, when we look back at Drake’s career, a slew of tracks will be viewed as his most quintessential — “Hold On We’re Goin’ Home”, “Started From the Bottom”, “Worst Behavior”, “Hotline Bling” and “One Dance”. But only one embodies Drake’s full reach as an artist — “0 to 100.” Granted, it’s not his best or most popular, rather, it’s the moment Drake established his place, as the sole occupant of Hip-hop’s throne. In a year where he didn’t release a project, Drake waited until the onset of summer to drop one of the catchiest, most-quotable rap songs in recent memory. More so, after Drake used the first half — “0 to 100” — to produce a full-fledged b-----r, it’s “The Catch Up” where the production shines through with a smooth backdrop as Drake takes a more introspective tone, questioning whether he reads too much into the commentary. In hindsight, the song serves as a chapter-turner in Drake’s career. While the sun shines through with his caption-worthy lines on “0 to 100”, “The Catch Up” serves as the point when the sun set on the most noteworthy chapter of his career — with Drake fully aware he had become the Superstar he had always envisioned.

What do you guys think @WoesSXN ? Pretty good list tbh, definitely a couple I disagree with (Club Paradise wayyyyyy too low, GLB too low, Summer Sixteen & Heat of the Moment too high).
