Drake saving the summer with old work

 

[Harry B]

If he was from the old school where one did not drop loosies so freely, he'd be dropping his best album in 6 years

IYRTITL is actually my favorite Drake album, great listen from start to finish, ghostwritten or not.

it’s not my cup of tea. Too much southern influence.

Guided by the pens of others.

The guy LITERALLY has a team of writers in tents crafting him songs. Its MUCH easier to sustain a career when more talented individuals are literally giving you hit after hit.

Taken in that context his run is not that impressive. Its not completely dismissive but its nothing compared to what J Cole and Kendrick, real WRITERS, have acheived

By that logic Kanye's pre-MAGA run isn't impressive either.

You're also operating off the assumption that every other top tier rapper has written 100% of their bars, which is absolutely not the case.

I’m so tired of the he didn’t write gods rhymes argument. Getting lyrical help is normal in every other genre except in hip hop, it’s frowned upon which is dumb cuz rappers have to pen more lyrics than singers cuz the tempo of music is faster.

Kendrick WRITES his bars. He even said that in order to be the best he knows he has to WRITE HIS OWN shyt.

Cole WRITES his bars

Wale WRITES his bars.

We not even comparing Aubrey & The Tents to the every other top tier rapper. Lets leave out the obvious Goats like Nas, Jay, Common, Wu-Tang, etc. simply comparing him to his own generation of MC’s he’s not an impressive artist. He’s an impressive POP STAR i’ll give him that. But as an MC? Which he claimed to be top tier? Against Kendrick? Who literally won a Pulitzer from WRITING HIS OWN BARS? Against Cole? Who doesn’t even allow features on his platinum albums? The albums for which he WRITES HIS OWN BARS? Drake is lacking. And the fact that his music is becoming increasingly formulaic and predictable whilst having a team if world renowned writers makes him even less impressive as even a pop star

Classic

That’s probably why I like it plus he just straight rapping on it, no singing.

I will say, IYRTITL may be his most polarizing album, a lot of people feel like it’s his best, a lot of people feel like it’s his worst.

Drake really got nikkas accepting ghostwriting

Ghostwritten RNB songs is one things, but actual rap lyrics?! Nah nikka.

"Pray the real live forever and the fakes get exposed" is a ghostwritten line.

Embarrassing lol

 

[Soundbwoy]

I’m not going to lie Drake’s loosies have always been fire

 

[Rell Lauren]

Made sense for him to drop these songs on the streaming services. Exposes an entire generation of fans to some of his older stuff and gives us higher quality versions of the tracks we had to scour the Internet for.
