Tupac was, as you know, k*lled by enemies and that wasn't the first time he had been sh*t by enemies.Tupac sounded paranoid because he was in danger... not because he was weird. Drake sounds paranoid because (I suspect) he has a personality disorder and believes that he is unworthy of friendship, loyalty, and love. The only "enemies" he has are ones he needlessly created by being weird and exploiting every relationship. Please, reconsider comparing these two men who are not alike in any meaningful way.
@@nykareem2001anyone can analyze drake or be aware of tupacs circumstances. Having a different race does not make it impossible to understand the concept of a rap beef. You sound like a knuckledragger
@@bsl4762 idk he seems pretty happy with the type of women he pulls and throwing money at them. He always sings about porn stars and bad bitches. I guess he can afford it so he single and don't really care 😐
All it requires is listening, and I guess it is easily missed because we probably (myself included) mostly listen to the beat or don't really ponder on the words when we sing them. Really shows how much we need to pay attention which we don't seem to do, and Drake has only gotten away with it until now because we have people like yourself and the beef which took us all to rapgenius and other youtubers who listen attentively and break it down for us. He literally could have said anything, and we wouldn't have known almost like politics.. and I bet if we paid more attention, perhaps we would be able to make the changes we actually want. Awesome video!
@@kryhmeworld1843in the same boat. Not holier than though, but I pay attention to whats being said and how its being said. Drake has a great sense of melody, but his music never sat well with me. People learn at different paces, however. And to you professor, your point about Tupac; Pac started became increasingly more paranoid of the people around him after he was set up and shot by his actual friends.
As a child in the 60’s, teen in the 70’s, we grew up buying albums with the lyrics printed on the back of the album jacket. Some albums opened like a book so the lyrics were in the middle. When cassettes came out, some had the lyrics printed on the small insert(hard as heck to read). My point is we would spend hours listening to songs and reading the lyrics. So we could understand what we were listening. It’s been ages since I purchased a cd 😂. When I’m in the car with my children( 40 & 31), I enjoy the music they listen to. I can’t catch all the words, but I enjoy the melodies. I don’t know when you download music, that lyrics come with it? I say all this to say the younger generation has been cheated out of pleasure of reading and understanding what is being sold to them.
It sucks that misogyny is often packaged and commercialized to the youth. Look at right wing content ecosystem… it’s pretty toxic but people make money off misogyny
It makes Drake sound creepy in real life, because he is creepy in real life😂 Unless you think systematically texting and hanging out with minors as an adult isn't creepy
So I'm watching this about a week after the beef with Drake and Kendrick. This video brings alot of perspective to his relationship with Adonis. And Drake's lack of awareness with predator behaviors and imbalanced power dynamics. Drake's blurring lines. And it finally came to an explosive beef with irreparable damage to his OVO legacy.
This album was the straw that broke the camel’s back as a Drake fan for a decade. He’s my age and he’s the soundtrack for my early twenties, and he really was refreshing and sort of pandered to a female audience. Imagine my disgust when all of these years pass, we’re mid thirties, parents, (although he was unwilling to claim his own child), and he makes an album that sounds like Andrew Tate was co-writing with him. I never looked at him the same after pusha t exposed, and I refused to engage or expect anything different from him after this album. For all the dogs doesn’t even exist in my library. You thoughtfully laid this all out. How prophetic lol.
The loverboy is a method of trafficking, it appears at first to be a healthy relationship in order to build trust, but in most cases theirs deviant intentions.
Excellent review, bro. I've never listened to this album because Drake got weird, boring, and repetitive for me around 2016. But this review summarizes why I lost interest in him and really ages well with the current events and Drake being called out. Wow. Well done.
Drake's fame is driven by exploitation of truama as opposed to *exploration of truama... he promotes predator antics, and his fanbase now is proving to be predominately incel/abuser-friendly.
It’s especially telling in a ton of reactions I’ve seen to “not like us”. The second a man seizes up at the flirting with/touching on minors lines and look annoyed or upset about it, he looks suspicious. “They’re legal… They’re not even that young…etc”. They look guilty as hell, and most likely have engaged in that behavior themselves if they see nothing wrong with it. Creeps galore.
I was brought here by the recent beef but as a Kanye's fan must say I was soooo pleased by the thoughts on him in this video. (And sure, Professor simply nailed the Drake's bizarreness and now we know that better than ever)
Do you plan to check out / talk about the new Little Simz album? Out of the three big releases this week I feel it was definitely the most consistent / ambitious. Even more so after ending up sandwiched between two of the biggest names in music.
I don't understand the concept of calling Drake a rapper / hip hop artist, and I say this as someone who enjoyed some of his (older) music. It's clear that he raps, sure, but in messaging, culture, main audience and optics he is not an easy fit.
Rap and hip-hop aren't the 1:1 same thing....rapping is something you do, hip hop is something you are.... rapping doesn't make you hip hop and you don't have to rap to be hip-hop
Hey Professor Skye, just wanted to say that I really appreciate that all your thoughts are uncut on the video, this has a natural appeal to me. I have nothing against Anthony Fantano but sometimes my eye just twitches when I see him transitioning to another sentence in his videos. I wish that he also could speak freely without having to edit videos. Props to you, Professor Skye, thanks for the educational thoughts and keep up the good work
Drake has been releasing the same songs over and over for a few years now, only adapting them to whatever wave is trending or coming up at the moment. The formula definitely works, no discussion, but that's what prevents him from being the sophisticated artist he tries to come across as. I wish he kept exploring the 'If You're Reading This' sound, that was Drake at the top of his craft imo.
I think in a lot of way the audience are to blame here as much as the artist. If we as an audience appreciated projects like "IYRTITL" or "NWTS" to the extent of "Views", I think Drake would've pursued that kind of sound & wave more than he does now. Drake reached the pinnacle of success when he released "Views" and since then didn't want to change it up drastically as he saw how his previous work didn't create the same buzz around the globe as "Views" did. And thus he got comfortable with it.
This is honestly a horrible take and way to view the album. Everybody’s opinion will change and it will go down as his best album and this is why. At first listen I thought the album was amazing and maybe a couple skips, but this is a special project and once you realize what he went for snd relisten afterwords you’ll see why this is an album for the true fans. If you go back to the trailer for CLB he put out (the CLB Jan 2021) he filmed himself remaking every single one of his album covers, also him and 40(his producer) said they wanted to give us all of drake in one album as in every era of drake. So he is paying homage to himself and literally giving us every era snd version of drake from his fist album to his latest and after my 10th listen (every listen the album gets better which is crazy) I fully understand what he was trying to do and he did, he delivered exactly what he said he was going to and he did it for the true fans, making this a literal masterpiece and a 10/10. So If you come on here saying “oh I’ve heard this before it’s nothing new” no shit he was literally giving us every era of himself and it’s perfect: idk wtf you clowns were thinking🤡 like you expecting drake to all of a sudden drop a country album? Lmaoo. Also any of you lame ass dudes that try to say Donda > CLB are you mentally not all there? CLB crushed Donda so hard it’s laughable to the point where all of the Donda fans couldn’t even enjoy that album and just stopped listening when drake dropped to go on every platform you could to hate on drake🤡 cuz you jealous? Y’all were mad hype saying Kanye just broke the records and has the best numbers of 2021!!! The the real goat drops and puts that shit to same, the numbers just came out for first week and Donda did 126k while CLB went certified gold and hit 603k😭 Donda ain’t even do what a 2 song project scary hours 2 drake put out earlier this year💀 all of y’all hold your L
TSU seems to be the confession for almost everything Kendrick is talking in the second and third verse of meet the grahams. It does look like Drake has a huge need to "save" young and vulnerable women using sex as a way to give them money.
This is how it is for any man in a position of power. They know women don’t “like” them. They like what they’ve become. Drake is just struggling with understanding female nature. You can either love them or understand them.
We can't expect much from someone whos an actor playing a role of a rapper.. the only thing he can be or do is to appear bigger by "breaking records and being number 1 " coz the 20 year olds are the ones who keeps you there and when they grow up the next generation comes in LOL. Imagine Kanye at 33 gave us MBDTF and people wanna compare this guy to him
Thing is I dont think Drake is that way actually as a person, he just refuses to evolve in his music. My biggest issue with Drake from the beginning has been that he literally doesnt write about anything outside the scope of strictly himself, like if you think about you've never heard him rap about another person or from another person's perspective even briefly. And then what makes it so bad is that even when he's being introspective it's kind of like surface-level introspection, never anything that you can tell really bothers him like Kendrick on "u" for example. Its these factors (& a couple others Skye brings up in the video) that have Drake's music feeling stale to me now after 10 years.
@@graysamo drake is massive enough to do just about anything with his music. He has the talent and the people around to make amazing work. We can't expect mediocrity from someone as massive as him. But you're right, if it's working no need to change it.
@@YetiCoolBrother his topics are not interesting. Just high school level relationship problems. But when he shines he kills it I feel like he has it in him to make something incredible
@@achronos178 yes his massive but drake can't do anything he want . drake can't suddenly grow and mature in his music and still expect to break records and be number 1 he has to appeal to the youth and masses by making music videos that can be used as memes instagram caption lyrics "tik tok" songs subject matter that 20 year olds can relate too these things are what keeps people talking about him.. Look at Beyonce she moved from destiny's child talking about young boys then subject changed to being a women feeling bootylicious moved from that to women empowerment now she's on family legacy and love.. This is all cool but you not gonna do numbers like drake doing this and she's a massive artist.. Understand Drakes fans always use his sales to prove his better than everyone
lol. "There is some part of you that's like so distant from normal human experience as to make you like an alien living on earth...in that way you are Michael Jackson." This wasn't the only thing that I got out of this video. I was taken aback to hear this after the rap battle. You make some great points about his album. I grew up in the 90's listening to rap music and what Drake represents is not new to me but I do feel that it's time that we elevate the culture.
As someone who’s never really listened to an entire Drake album (and didn’t get through CLB), though has known of Drake’s music since before “So Far Gone,” I was surprised at how many Drake tracks I knew when I sat down to count them (in the 40s; probably due to being Canadian lol). But I think what’s more interesting with this project, funnily enough, is the two most successful artists with commercial longevity of the 2010s, both Drake and Taylor, both had their carefully PR-crafted personas “exposed” by people associated with Kanye West. The difference is while Taylor has demonstrated growth and maturity in her sound, lyrics, and storytelling in the years since Kim Kardashian released that infamous phone call, Drake hasn’t really displayed the same since Pusha T released “The Story of Adidon” despite being a father and being in his mid-30s. As a case in point, Taylor initially tried to portrayed herself as the victim during her Grammy speech with her faux-outrage at “people (Kanye) trying to take credit for your success” (Tori Kelly’s facial expression during the speech was priceless) then attempted to lean into a villain role that felt forced with “reputation” (which many critics describe[d] as her weakest output). Instead of doubling down, she decided to release “Lover” with the standout tracks “The Archer” and “Daylight” where she kind of steps back into herself and then, of course, the outstanding “folkmore” projects where she’s cursing and making emotionally and thematically complex songs that see her formally bidding goodbye to those early innocent country music girl songs that previously defined her career. Drake, on the other hand, hasn’t really demonstrated a similar growth pattern despite being a man in his mid-30s and a father of a young son. I think the ghostwriting allegations, the Pusha T beef, and the rumours of grooming (due to friendships with Billie Eilish, Millie Bobbie Brown, Gorja Smith, Hailey Bieber, etc.) has really impacted how he’s been perceived; chipping away at that more pristine image from the start of his career when people used to view him as a middle-class, Canadian, half-Jewish happy rapper that you could being home to momma when he first started out (the fact that he allegedly wrote “I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry” when his son was already born is a case in point). Apparently, the ESPN reporter (and former hip hop music journo) Bomani Jones said back in 2016 that Drake (at that time 30) was hampered by still making the same music he was making as a young 20-year old (being in the club, etc.). To quote Drake, “Five years later, how is he (that) man still.” Drake knows he can roll out of bed and kill it in the charts. But at least song like “What’s Next” are fun and have blare it out of your car playability. This album, especially after listening to “Donda,” didn’t even merit a full listen from me. *btw it’s pronounced The Bridal Path; wealthiest neighbourhood in Canada and there’s literally a public transportation bus stop outside his house lol
Watching this after Drake vs. Kendrick; and 10:30 and he is weird because he is struggling with his sense of self but Tupac however had true trauma from his childhood and adulthood-shootings, police brutality, governmental Conspiracy and dying at 25 and Drake doesnt have that story (not invalidating his story) and cosplay. Money doesnt make you happy but that comparison is tone deaf and cultural insensitive. AVVA...Kanye is severely mental ill and refuse to be treated.
38:25 To comment on your thoughts about him as a culture vulture, as someone who is extremely mixed race lol and has grown up knowing all sides of his family, Drake does not have the same experience. He lived with his white mother while not wealthy, while they were wealthy and when he was on television and beginning of his career(I dont know specifically when to be fair). His black father was seemingly not present in major ways but I do not know his full history so correct me on that. His black side would also be African Canadian which is very different to African American. He never was apart of their culture and him copying their style just to create wealth and discarding it once it does not serve him, would indeed make him a culture vulture. Just because someone is mixed does not mean they have a pass, race contributes a-lot but community and culture is primary. Hopefully you weren’t grouping different black cultures together and I assume you were not as your channel is very very very great, I love your videos and know the person you present to the internet.
Its crazy when conspiracies were floating around that Drake was into youngins. Its even more insane that its true and the red flag lyrics made a lot of people cry in they feelings😂
Im genuinely worried something effed up about Drake comes out one day, some of those lyrics seem like a scream for help. And the well known "Millie Bobby Brown Situation" is a bad indicator. He crafts this carefuly woven fake image that is somewhat more cringe and strange than cool, concealing his true self under those stereotypes.
Agreed with everything except the Pac stuff. He had REAL enemies the tried to kill him and eventually did. He didn't always talk about his enemies until he got some. He didn't create enemies out of friends and it Wasn't an underlying theme. It's just where his mind was at that stage. And for good reason. Same with 50.
Just like everyone else, your coverage of the kerfuffle brought me here. I was interested in your take on the questionable lyrics Drake has been peddling for years. Wine. This aged like 🍷.
Kanye has also already proved himself to be a worthy MC so other artists outshining him on his own tracks that he’s producing isn’t that big of a deal. I DO wonder if professor changes his opinion about drake being a culture culture after the Kendrick disses
First of all, you should listen to Navajo by Masego. You’ll recognize it, of course; I still can’t tell if I think Champagne Poetry is an improvement, but I think so. This has been an interesting album for me; I gave it a full listen, and aside from the intro track didn’t really like much of it, and didnt relisten to anything else, but a lot of reviewers have had different opinions of their favorite songs, and most times i go back and listen I like what I hear. I think it ticks way more boxes for singles than it does for albums, but unfortunately that was keeping me from appreciating the quality of those singles ps agree with other comments that little simz is fantastic; even if you dont end up having smth to say about it, youll miss out if you dont hear it ^^
Drake just feels stagnant personally and musically in an album format. I feel like Drake is at a point where he needs that Greatest Hits album that Weeknd didn't need to do yet.
Fr. He got himself in the 20v1 and people questioned why rappers turned on Drake. He burnt so many bridges because what you said, he's a terrible person. He lives the life a horny teenager would dream of and even they wouldn't f one of their "friends" girls most of the time. 🤣But homie, there's a reason it's hard for you to settle down with a real woman. He's 38 and still hasn't grown up.
Lol that was literally my first thought as well.. It's unfair for drake to have made These albums compete, drake just should've dropped in Jan like he was supposed to
You were on point 2 years ago. edit: you're right about Kanye West not being a great emcee but he's so good at making some of the most memorable bars. And about his production, one of the things I love about him is you can tell he truly loves music. he digs back to classics his listeners weren't aware of. when he sampled Can (experimental rock band), that kinda blew my mind he knew of them. That's unfortunately the worst song on that album though. Both him and Wayne failed.
The sample and no drums style used on CLB first track wasn’t invented by Kanye, the alchemist was doing that before Donda. The production techniques aren’t so much based on Donda but on the sound Hip Hop is moving forwards.
The fill in the line bars are a MF DOOM specialty. You should review some DOOM. I know you said it's not your thing, but it would help you know the source of what artists like Drake mine from.
glad I wasn't the only 1 that caught that. DOOM used to do that all the time. he spoke about it in interviews saying he likes do weird tricks like that to engage the listener to make sure they are listening.
I’d argue there’s probably an earlier lineage to that technique because Madlib uses it quite a bit when rapping, such as on Quasimoto - Hittin Hooks (1999). He’s very much a student of late 80s MCs so I wouldn’t be surprised if an earlier rapper popularized it. “One night at Club Becks yeah I was standing with Chuck And saw this gorgeous young lady that I wanted to...”
@@yommish true, but KMD was doing it back in the 90's with songs like Popcorn. They would say the line and let the sample fill in the verse. Maybe someone did it earlier though.
Yeah, started listening to Future over quarantine. From Monster on. OMG. His mixture of rap & R&B and a whole bunch of other shit is otherworldly. Feel like if the professor listens to “Hallucinating” (bout 17.5x better than anything Drake’s made) for example, he might listen to some more Future. His cousin’s group is basically responsible for Atlanta’s sound in the late 90s Rap & R&B. Future was in dungeon family. So he was raised to do what he does, but I had to research that after I started listening to his music because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from this dude who makes Trap Music
I do not understand Drake. He just doesn’t make sense to me. And neither does his music. I don’t understand this lifestyle of toxic masculinity that he lives and his cluelessness to this shallow existence that is born from it. Maybe everyone else isn’t the problem. How can he not see this? He is so lacking in honest or real self awareness it is actually upsetting. He comes across to me as a not very decent person. Karma is a real thing. It’s a basic as if you act shallow, people around you will treat you as shallow. That’s almost too simple, right? So how can Drake not see it? Maddeningly frustrating. That’s my thoughts on Drake.
I'm glad you feel uncomfortable about drake and his music too. The grooming allegations and his weird proximity to Billie Bobby brown and the transactional way he views women makes me feel like he's a rich and famous incel. your point about daddy's home with him being absent and focused on beef instead of son was 🤯
He never said he dislikes his music he actually said he likes him in this and the other video he did on drake, he’s just kinda seeing through different perspectives (his and drakes) plus promiscuity doesn’t make that person an incel
16:45 thats defiantly a MF DOOM trick. he always would start a rhyme scheme and then leave the last part of the rhyme blank for the listener to fill in. he said he would do weird tricks like that to engage the listener. drake def grabbed that from DOOM. all love.
Drake is the King of Cringe, the ultimate embodiment of "embracing the meme." That's why his first single is literally an interpolation of friggin' Right Said Fred "I'm Too Sexy (For My Shirt)" & the video has him dancing in the desert in all white like Boyz II Men in the "Water Runs Dry" video -- literally the two corniest things you could do as a rapper but somehow it works because Drake.
I mean he comes from acting and probably theater, he has that in him. The fake thug stuff is more cringe and detrimental. I'm fine with him having fun/not being so serious. Acting like he's some mob boss when he's one of the most influential people on the planet is weird but I fw his music so idk.
@@pmillhooper1 Except you don’t really know his private life. Drake used to skip high school to go hang out with his friends in the hood. He never graduated high school. He actually does hang around goons. Chubbs, Preme, Baka Not Nice. Preme who had a criminal rap sheet and couldn’t even leave Canada legally. And Baka Not Nice who did 14 years for sex trafficking women. Plus his other friends like Fif who got shot and killed back in 2017 and when questioned Drake wouldn’t give police any answers. Smoke Dawg is another rapper from the OVO crew that was shot and killed a few years ago too. Plus Drake has ties to J.Prince.
Standing next to a gang member doesn't make you one, drake is a rich civilian. He has access to a perspective, he isn't hard himself. It's fine to report what's happening in the streets, but don't act like as a mega star you were inches away from calling in a hit on kanye or some bs. At the end of the day It's an act.
I'm Drakes number 1 hater, but don't you think he sees the hopelessness and backwardsness in that line "how much I gotta pay you to pipe down?" His lifestyle has put himself in a position to ask the question so casually.
I mean this review aged SO well my god. The TSU breakdown about he is essentially grooming damaged women in his audience giving them dreams of compensation for their pain

This album was the straw that broke the camel’s back as a Drake fan for a decade. He’s my age and he’s the soundtrack for my early twenties, and he really was refreshing and sort of pandered to a female audience. Imagine my disgust when all of these years pass, we’re mid thirties, parents, (although he was unwilling to claim his own child), and he makes an album that sounds like Andrew Tate was co-writing with him. I never looked at him the same after pusha t exposed, and I refused to engage or expect anything different from him after this album. For all the dogs doesn’t even exist in my library. You thoughtfully laid this all out. How prophetic lol.
"what is the certification process for being a lover boy?" lmao
Gives the same "brother love" from Diddy vibes
Richly ironic...
The loverboy is a method of trafficking, it appears at first to be a healthy relationship in order to build trust, but in most cases theirs deviant intentions.
Sounds like a bunch of weak people not taking accountability for their actions, buyers remorse.

Excellent review, bro. I've never listened to this album because Drake got weird, boring, and repetitive for me around 2016. But this review summarizes why I lost interest in him and really ages well with the current events and Drake being called out. Wow. Well done.
Drake's fame is driven by exploitation of truama as opposed to *exploration of truama... he promotes predator antics, and his fanbase now is proving to be predominately incel/abuser-friendly.
accurate, seen way too many drake fans defending what is essentially grooming
It’s especially telling in a ton of reactions I’ve seen to “not like us”. The second a man seizes up at the flirting with/touching on minors lines and look annoyed or upset about it, he looks suspicious. “They’re legal… They’re not even that young…etc”. They look guilty as hell, and most likely have engaged in that behavior themselves if they see nothing wrong with it. Creeps galore.

I was brought here by the recent beef but as a Kanye's fan must say I was soooo pleased by the thoughts on him in this video. (And sure, Professor simply nailed the Drake's bizarreness and now we know that better than ever)
The fact Kendrick possibly saw this and said “Let’s go!!” You didn’t miss anything every prediction was right bravo 👏 😮
Do you plan to check out / talk about the new Little Simz album? Out of the three big releases this week I feel it was definitely the most consistent / ambitious. Even more so after ending up sandwiched between two of the biggest names in music.
The album was fantastic!
Album of the year so far!
Really amazing music in there. I haven't even finished the album because I keep replaying the first half lol
There is not one song that I don’t love. I’m even amazed with all of the interludes. So damn good.

More skips than leg day.
That's a good joke and I will defend it

Considering Drake has a bar that is “more chains than Channing Tatum”, I hate to say it but “more skips than leg day” sounds like a Drake bar to me 💀
drake is indeed a strange guy, but not stranger than his defenders
I think quite a bit more strange than most of them
I feel the same with Taylor Swift and Kanye, and their stans 🙌
I don't understand the concept of calling Drake a rapper / hip hop artist, and I say this as someone who enjoyed some of his (older) music. It's clear that he raps, sure, but in messaging, culture, main audience and optics he is not an easy fit.
never heard a drake bar where it’s about anything socially above his own ego
Rap and hip-hop aren't the 1:1 same thing....rapping is something you do, hip hop is something you are.... rapping doesn't make you hip hop and you don't have to rap to be hip-hop

Hey Professor Skye, just wanted to say that I really appreciate that all your thoughts are uncut on the video, this has a natural appeal to me. I have nothing against Anthony Fantano but sometimes my eye just twitches when I see him transitioning to another sentence in his videos. I wish that he also could speak freely without having to edit videos. Props to you, Professor Skye, thanks for the educational thoughts and keep up the good work
Thanks
Drake has been releasing the same songs over and over for a few years now, only adapting them to whatever wave is trending or coming up at the moment. The formula definitely works, no discussion, but that's what prevents him from being the sophisticated artist he tries to come across as. I wish he kept exploring the 'If You're Reading This' sound, that was Drake at the top of his craft imo.
He doesn't try to come off as an sophisticated artist at all though?
@@weewer3369 I guess not that much recently, but he definitely tries a little too hard to appear as a hip-hop connoisseur and curator of some sort.
I think in a lot of way the audience are to blame here as much as the artist. If we as an audience appreciated projects like "IYRTITL" or "NWTS" to the extent of "Views", I think Drake would've pursued that kind of sound & wave more than he does now. Drake reached the pinnacle of success when he released "Views" and since then didn't want to change it up drastically as he saw how his previous work didn't create the same buzz around the globe as "Views" did. And thus he got comfortable with it.
This is honestly a horrible take and way to view the album. Everybody’s opinion will change and it will go down as his best album and this is why. At first listen I thought the album was amazing and maybe a couple skips, but this is a special project and once you realize what he went for snd relisten afterwords you’ll see why this is an album for the true fans. If you go back to the trailer for CLB he put out (the CLB Jan 2021) he filmed himself remaking every single one of his album covers, also him and 40(his producer) said they wanted to give us all of drake in one album as in every era of drake. So he is paying homage to himself and literally giving us every era snd version of drake from his fist album to his latest and after my 10th listen (every listen the album gets better which is crazy) I fully understand what he was trying to do and he did, he delivered exactly what he said he was going to and he did it for the true fans, making this a literal masterpiece and a 10/10. So If you come on here saying “oh I’ve heard this before it’s nothing new” no shit he was literally giving us every era of himself and it’s perfect: idk wtf you clowns were thinking🤡 like you expecting drake to all of a sudden drop a country album? Lmaoo. Also any of you lame ass dudes that try to say Donda > CLB are you mentally not all there? CLB crushed Donda so hard it’s laughable to the point where all of the Donda fans couldn’t even enjoy that album and just stopped listening when drake dropped to go on every platform you could to hate on drake🤡 cuz you jealous? Y’all were mad hype saying Kanye just broke the records and has the best numbers of 2021!!! The the real goat drops and puts that shit to same, the numbers just came out for first week and Donda did 126k while CLB went certified gold and hit 603k😭 Donda ain’t even do what a 2 song project scary hours 2 drake put out earlier this year💀 all of y’all hold your L

Making a case by juxtaposing Radiohead and Coldplay was on point to Drake and Kanye’s releases.

"and if I die before your album drop I ho- 💥💥💥🔫" Kendrick Lamar (Sing about me)
TSU seems to be the confession for almost everything Kendrick is talking in the second and third verse of meet the grahams. It does look like Drake has a huge need to "save" young and vulnerable women using sex as a way to give them money.
This is how it is for any man in a position of power. They know women don’t “like” them. They like what they’ve become. Drake is just struggling with understanding female nature. You can either love them or understand them.
He doesn’t even try to save women in TSU. I think of line like “we used to do pornos when you would come over but now you got morals and shit”
@unc1221 Not true we’ve seen plenty of rich powerful men get and stay married. From George Clooney, to Idris Elba, to Mark Zuckerberg etc..
Drake is 34 and still stuck with 20 year old problems. My frustration with drake is his inability to mature as a person.
We can't expect much from someone whos an actor playing a role of a rapper.. the only thing he can be or do is to appear bigger by "breaking records and being number 1 " coz the 20 year olds are the ones who keeps you there and when they grow up the next generation comes in LOL. Imagine Kanye at 33 gave us MBDTF and people wanna compare this guy to him
Thing is I dont think Drake is that way actually as a person, he just refuses to evolve in his music. My biggest issue with Drake from the beginning has been that he literally doesnt write about anything outside the scope of strictly himself, like if you think about you've never heard him rap about another person or from another person's perspective even briefly. And then what makes it so bad is that even when he's being introspective it's kind of like surface-level introspection, never anything that you can tell really bothers him like Kendrick on "u" for example. Its these factors (& a couple others Skye brings up in the video) that have Drake's music feeling stale to me now after 10 years.
@@graysamo drake is massive enough to do just about anything with his music. He has the talent and the people around to make amazing work. We can't expect mediocrity from someone as massive as him. But you're right, if it's working no need to change it.
@@YetiCoolBrother his topics are not interesting. Just high school level relationship problems. But when he shines he kills it I feel like he has it in him to make something incredible
@@achronos178 yes his massive but drake can't do anything he want . drake can't suddenly grow and mature in his music and still expect to break records and be number 1 he has to appeal to the youth and masses by making music videos that can be used as memes instagram caption lyrics "tik tok" songs subject matter that 20 year olds can relate too these things are what keeps people talking about him.. Look at Beyonce she moved from destiny's child talking about young boys then subject changed to being a women feeling bootylicious moved from that to women empowerment now she's on family legacy and love.. This is all cool but you not gonna do numbers like drake doing this and she's a massive artist.. Understand Drakes fans always use his sales to prove his better than everyone

lol. "There is some part of you that's like so distant from normal human experience as to make you like an alien living on earth...in that way you are Michael Jackson." This wasn't the only thing that I got out of this video. I was taken aback to hear this after the rap battle. You make some great points about his album. I grew up in the 90's listening to rap music and what Drake represents is not new to me but I do feel that it's time that we elevate the culture.
you should really talk about that Life of The Party leak with Andre 3000
As someone who’s never really listened to an entire Drake album (and didn’t get through CLB), though has known of Drake’s music since before “So Far Gone,” I was surprised at how many Drake tracks I knew when I sat down to count them (in the 40s; probably due to being Canadian lol).
But I think what’s more interesting with this project, funnily enough, is the two most successful artists with commercial longevity of the 2010s, both Drake and Taylor, both had their carefully PR-crafted personas “exposed” by people associated with Kanye West. The difference is while Taylor has demonstrated growth and maturity in her sound, lyrics, and storytelling in the years since Kim Kardashian released that infamous phone call, Drake hasn’t really displayed the same since Pusha T released “The Story of Adidon” despite being a father and being in his mid-30s.
As a case in point, Taylor initially tried to portrayed herself as the victim during her Grammy speech with her faux-outrage at “people (Kanye) trying to take credit for your success” (Tori Kelly’s facial expression during the speech was priceless) then attempted to lean into a villain role that felt forced with “reputation” (which many critics describe[d] as her weakest output). Instead of doubling down, she decided to release “Lover” with the standout tracks “The Archer” and “Daylight” where she kind of steps back into herself and then, of course, the outstanding “folkmore” projects where she’s cursing and making emotionally and thematically complex songs that see her formally bidding goodbye to those early innocent country music girl songs that previously defined her career.
Drake, on the other hand, hasn’t really demonstrated a similar growth pattern despite being a man in his mid-30s and a father of a young son. I think the ghostwriting allegations, the Pusha T beef, and the rumours of grooming (due to friendships with Billie Eilish, Millie Bobbie Brown, Gorja Smith, Hailey Bieber, etc.) has really impacted how he’s been perceived; chipping away at that more pristine image from the start of his career when people used to view him as a middle-class, Canadian, half-Jewish happy rapper that you could being home to momma when he first started out (the fact that he allegedly wrote “I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry” when his son was already born is a case in point).
Apparently, the ESPN reporter (and former hip hop music journo) Bomani Jones said back in 2016 that Drake (at that time 30) was hampered by still making the same music he was making as a young 20-year old (being in the club, etc.). To quote Drake, “Five years later, how is he (that) man still.”
Drake knows he can roll out of bed and kill it in the charts. But at least song like “What’s Next” are fun and have blare it out of your car playability. This album, especially after listening to “Donda,” didn’t even merit a full listen from me.
*btw it’s pronounced The Bridal Path; wealthiest neighbourhood in Canada and there’s literally a public transportation bus stop outside his house lol
It would do you good to visit his other material. Nothing was the same, take care and if your reading this it’s too late specifically
Great comment
amazing comment, great breakdown
This comment aged well.
This video is prophetic. I wish I was as discerning as you are
Watching this after Drake vs. Kendrick; and 10:30 and he is weird because he is struggling with his sense of self but Tupac however had true trauma from his childhood and adulthood-shootings, police brutality, governmental Conspiracy and dying at 25 and Drake doesnt have that story (not invalidating his story) and cosplay. Money doesnt make you happy but that comparison is tone deaf and cultural insensitive. AVVA...Kanye is severely mental ill and refuse to be treated.
Drake daddy's not home is likely talking about his daddy. His daddy wasn't present and that is come re: paritachy
😂 this aged like fine wine 🍷
38:25 To comment on your thoughts about him as a culture vulture, as someone who is extremely mixed race lol and has grown up knowing all sides of his family, Drake does not have the same experience. He lived with his white mother while not wealthy, while they were wealthy and when he was on television and beginning of his career(I dont know specifically when to be fair). His black father was seemingly not present in major ways but I do not know his full history so correct me on that. His black side would also be African Canadian which is very different to African American. He never was apart of their culture and him copying their style just to create wealth and discarding it once it does not serve him, would indeed make him a culture vulture. Just because someone is mixed does not mean they have a pass, race contributes a-lot but community and culture is primary.
Hopefully you weren’t grouping different black cultures together and I assume you were not as your channel is very very very great, I love your videos and know the person you present to the internet.
Kendrick forsure watched this before he dissed drake
10 mins in and I can tell you’re impartial, fair and also overall an intelligent guy.

Its crazy when conspiracies were floating around that Drake was into youngins. Its even more insane that its true and the red flag lyrics made a lot of people cry in they feelings😂
Im genuinely worried something effed up about Drake comes out one day, some of those lyrics seem like a scream for help. And the well known "Millie Bobby Brown Situation" is a bad indicator. He crafts this carefuly woven fake image that is somewhat more cringe and strange than cool, concealing his true self under those stereotypes.

Agreed with everything except the Pac stuff. He had REAL enemies the tried to kill him and eventually did. He didn't always talk about his enemies until he got some. He didn't create enemies out of friends and it Wasn't an underlying theme. It's just where his mind was at that stage. And for good reason. Same with 50.

Kanye has also already proved himself to be a worthy MC so other artists outshining him on his own tracks that he’s producing isn’t that big of a deal. I DO wonder if professor changes his opinion about drake being a culture culture after the Kendrick disses
Kanye also portrays himself as just wanting to make what he feels is the best music, instead of being the best rapper.
Damn, even the observation where Drake had most of the features that were on Donda was insane. You saw how petty and conniving he was back then. 😂
First of all, you should listen to Navajo by Masego. You’ll recognize it, of course; I still can’t tell if I think Champagne Poetry is an improvement, but I think so.
This has been an interesting album for me; I gave it a full listen, and aside from the intro track didn’t really like much of it, and didnt relisten to anything else, but a lot of reviewers have had different opinions of their favorite songs, and most times i go back and listen I like what I hear. I think it ticks way more boxes for singles than it does for albums, but unfortunately that was keeping me from appreciating the quality of those singles
ps agree with other comments that little simz is fantastic; even if you dont end up having smth to say about it, youll miss out if you dont hear it ^^
Drake just feels stagnant personally and musically in an album format. I feel like Drake is at a point where he needs that Greatest Hits album that Weeknd didn't need to do yet.
this is such a phenomenal review, i learn so much every time i digest one this man’s videos. thank you for always producing quality content.
This take of Drake is prophetic
Jesus, Drake is absolutely terrible.
Fr. He got himself in the 20v1 and people questioned why rappers turned on Drake. He burnt so many bridges because what you said, he's a terrible person. He lives the life a horny teenager would dream of and even they wouldn't f one of their "friends" girls most of the time. 🤣But homie, there's a reason it's hard for you to settle down with a real woman. He's 38 and still hasn't grown up.
Lol that was literally my first thought as well.. It's unfair for drake to have made These albums compete, drake just should've dropped in Jan like he was supposed to
You were on point 2 years ago.
edit: you're right about Kanye West not being a great emcee but he's so good at making some of the most memorable bars. And about his production, one of the things I love about him is you can tell he truly loves music. he digs back to classics his listeners weren't aware of. when he sampled Can (experimental rock band), that kinda blew my mind he knew of them. That's unfortunately the worst song on that album though. Both him and Wayne failed.
This coming into my algorithm now is DIABOLICAL
The sample and no drums style used on CLB first track wasn’t invented by Kanye, the alchemist was doing that before Donda. The production techniques aren’t so much based on Donda but on the sound Hip Hop is
moving forwards.
Great, thanks for the precision.
This video aged so well after Kendricks disses. Just illuminated a lot of intuitions about his fake agh
I hope Drake knows it’s okay to not have a lot of friends❤️…
The fill in the line bars are a MF DOOM specialty. You should review some DOOM. I know you said it's not your thing, but it would help you know the source of what artists like Drake mine from.
glad I wasn't the only 1 that caught that. DOOM used to do that all the time. he spoke about it in interviews saying he likes do weird tricks like that to engage the listener to make sure they are listening.
I’d argue there’s probably an earlier lineage to that technique because Madlib uses it quite a bit when rapping, such as on Quasimoto - Hittin Hooks (1999). He’s very much a student of late 80s MCs so I wouldn’t be surprised if an earlier rapper popularized it.

How you describe Future is exactly how I feel about Drake.
time stamp?
Yeah, started listening to Future over quarantine. From Monster on. OMG. His mixture of rap & R&B and a whole bunch of other shit is otherworldly. Feel like if the professor listens to “Hallucinating” (bout 17.5x better than anything Drake’s made) for example, he might listen to some more Future.
His cousin’s group is basically responsible for Atlanta’s sound in the late 90s Rap & R&B. Future was in dungeon family. So he was raised to do what he does, but I had to research that after I started listening to his music because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from this dude who makes Trap Music
I do not understand Drake. He just doesn’t make sense to me. And neither does his music. I don’t understand this lifestyle of toxic masculinity that he lives and his cluelessness to this shallow existence that is born from it. Maybe everyone else isn’t the problem. How can he not see this? He is so lacking in honest or real self awareness it is actually upsetting. He comes across to me as a not very decent person. Karma is a real thing. It’s a basic as if you act shallow, people around you will treat you as shallow. That’s almost too simple, right? So how can Drake not see it? Maddeningly frustrating. That’s my thoughts on Drake.
And look at him now
This video aged like fine wine 🍷
I'm glad you feel uncomfortable about drake and his music too. The grooming allegations and his weird proximity to Billie Bobby brown and the transactional way he views women makes me feel like he's a rich and famous incel.

16:45 thats defiantly a MF DOOM trick. he always would start a rhyme scheme and then leave the last part of the rhyme blank for the listener to fill in. he said he would do weird tricks like that to engage the listener. drake def grabbed that from DOOM. all love.
Drake is the King of Cringe, the ultimate embodiment of "embracing the meme." That's why his first single is literally an interpolation of friggin' Right Said Fred "I'm Too Sexy (For My Shirt)" & the video has him dancing in the desert in all white like Boyz II Men in the "Water Runs Dry" video -- literally the two corniest things you could do as a rapper but somehow it works because Drake.
I mean he comes from acting and probably theater, he has that in him. The fake thug stuff is more cringe and detrimental. I'm fine with him having fun/not being so serious. Acting like he's some mob boss when he's one of the most influential people on the planet is weird but I fw his music so idk.
@@pmillhooper1 Except you don’t really know his private life. Drake used to skip high school to go hang out with his friends in the hood. He never graduated high school. He actually does hang around goons. Chubbs, Preme, Baka Not Nice. Preme who had a criminal rap sheet and couldn’t even leave Canada legally. And Baka Not Nice who did 14 years for sex trafficking women. Plus his other friends like Fif who got shot and killed back in 2017 and when questioned Drake wouldn’t give police any answers. Smoke Dawg is another rapper from the OVO crew that was shot and killed a few years ago too. Plus Drake has ties to J.Prince.
Bro .. OVO is gang affiliated asf.
Standing next to a gang member doesn't make you one, drake is a rich civilian. He has access to a perspective, he isn't hard himself. It's fine to report what's happening in the streets, but don't act like as a mega star you were inches away from calling in a hit on kanye or some bs. At the end of the day It's an act.
I'm Drakes number 1 hater, but don't you think he sees the hopelessness and backwardsness in that line "how much I gotta pay you to pipe down?" His lifestyle has put himself in a position to ask the question so casually.
