    Nah nah fam i admit it wasnt Drake or futures best work but at the end of the day it still generated plenty of great hits and the transition from I'm the plug into change locations is the GOAT.

    Good points but I disagree about the last one, I just think that was the vibe in the sessions for better or worse. I don't think any of Drake's portions were corny.

    I wish they'd taken more time and tried to make something like WTT because they're both capable of doing better, but it is what it is. End of the day I'm good with what we got.

    man come on you dont think his live from the gutter verse was corny?

    and no, i dont think these two as a duo are capable of anything better even if given more time. maybe something more cohesive or thought out but in the end i think a disconnect is always gonna be there.

    drake seems to be the type of future fan that thinks all there is to future is the grimey raps and drug/sex talk. he doesnt seem to get just how soul future's writing and subsequently his music has. that's what created the disconnect here.

    drake and like say, big sean would make a much better project together tbh lol

    i mean yeah it was literally made to create hits and help future out basically

    but as far as mixtapes go there were dozens of better ones last year

    Nah. Out of place? Sure.

    LOL @ addressing Drake as a fan instead of peer haha. I mean, I love Future as much as the next guy, but grimey raps/drug/sex is easily 75% of his discography.

    Drake and Sean been biting each others flows for years so a project with them would be interesting to say the least.

    You're being too hard on Drake per usual. These collab tapes aren't all about sounding alike. There's a contrast between the 2 that makes the tape interesting to listen to.

    Exactly which is what i think it did. But as far as there being dozens of better mixtapes i'd love to see which ones.

    its about execution and context. the way drake sees it seems to be "haha yeah this hoe was acting hard to get so i f----- her then ignored here, im the man"

    future phrases it like "f--- these drugs got me out of my mind, i just ruined a relationship with my baby mama, i guess i'll wallow in these riches"

    and you know that's right. at least on WATTBA, which is what im talking about speficially. Im not saying drake is always like that. he's actually not (he comes off as demeaning/controlling re: woman in his other tracks, but on WATTBA he sounds A LOT more crass/corny than usual because, like i said, he's trying to do what he thinks he should to fit future's vibe).

    and drake honestly comes off as much more of a fan of what he's heard of future's work than anything else.

    they would sound a lot more natural together.

    HOW SWAY. HOW. me saying "she was acting like a virgin so i f----- her and curved" is corny isnt being "too hard" AT ALL. me saying talking abotu instagram beef on a song where future's crying about his upbringing isnt trying too hard AT ALL.

    you're literally just excusing anything drake does as usual

    lol im not saying they need to sound similar to make a worthwhile project. if anything, it would be better if drake distanced himself from futures style as much as he could

    the problem, clearly, is that drake tried to find a middle ground and that left people on all sides (not just people like me) wanting more/something different.

    Both slime seasons and 56 nights are easily up there with it but everything else is a disgrace to drake ad future for even being in the discussion about it,

    Overhated tape. Project is dope for what it is. It would have been better if they merged their worlds to make a unified project rather than just a Future ft. Drake tape, but its definitely enjoyable. Better than purple reign.
