I'm pretty sure that's the common talking point here and on the bird app. Drake should've mature with his audience. But he still wants to keep up with the mid 20s demographic.

fukk mid 20s we was in middle/high school when Drake blew up

To be fair, Joe did more than give his opinion. He clowned him, his bars, his subject matter and his choice in women. This was not just saying the album is good or bad (which to be fair to joe, i think he said he liked it over all).

I understand why Drake is annoyed. But the reaction from him and his camp does make him look a little feminine. Drake should have given him a quick clever line and keep it moving. Or not say anything.


I predict the next JBP episode will be titled "Hit dogs holler". I predict Joe will be wearing an Enyce shirt (i read somewhere the brand is owned by Diddy :ohhh: ). I also predict Melyssa Ford will still be "sick".

Drake was Joe without the dust in his technical rapping prime.

08-13 Drake is arguably the best rapper I ever heard.

Last we saw of that guy was on NWTS.


He was also the best Pop/Feature rapper alive and he still is sans the features since he dont gotta reason to kill nobody now.

I could go on. Not even gon mention his R&B bag even tho his influence over the genre while impactful has been lackluster, picking up where Ye left off by too often characterizing r&b as sad instead of sensual.

This album, I relied on for the first few listens what is to me Drake’s most underrated persona. Stand up Comedian R&B Drake.

“Like when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like a Bentley iiiiiiiiii”:ohlawd:

“I’m nothing like yo man, but I can’t love you neither” :myman:

Ratchet Happy Birthday, Sex Tonight, Child’s Play. This is Drake turning Drunk And Hot Girls into R&B.

So naturally this album starts for me on track 18. BBL Love is absurd. There’s a point in this song where he just loses his mind during a run. Super entertaining. Felt like a live performance.

It’s fitting that it follows unbothered Drake on 8am.

Drake completely lost his passion for rap after the ghostwriting nonsense.

Look no further than 6pm in New York. Arguably the worst am-pm track, but he was still rapping like he had energy.

Drake didn’t get into the game to be crowned by dustheads. He learned not to expect much from them broke boys from Ye, who still to this day won’t acknowledge them.

But here’s Drake’s Achilles heel. He cares wat everyone thinks of him.

Real Drake fans know he always used writers. Makes sense because he came up as one. He didn’t learn from Dr Dre as a teen for no reason.

Real Drake fans been knew about Hush and Nickelus F.

Drake wasn’t even that good of a rapper once upon a time, because he was never trying to truly rap. He was trying to use rap as a vehicle to make hit music. That’s not easy. That’s why all his early material is so aggressively mid.

Once he figured out how to make music using rap, he began to dominate real bad.

He was a Dr Dre Puffy Ye type masquerading as Killa Sin or some obscure bar master that made it to the mainstream.

Drake is fueled by resentment and makes a lot of mistakes because of it, but it also pushes him forward.

After the ghostwriting thing blew up, Drake gave up on rap and it hurts him because he truly cares for it.

4pm, Sandra’s Rose, 8pm, Omerta. He’s rapping like it’s a 9-5.

I think part of it is the Travis Scott flow taking over.

Also, nobody is better than him at making technical rap with replay value.

So what has happened is he’s missed a step. Relying on similes giving his records a try hard feel. Sounds like he’s trying to love rapping again, but can’t.

A part of him might feel that he only made it so far as a pop rapper because he’s lightskin. That’s not true. He’s genuinely the best pop/r&b rapper ever. He used to be the best technical rapper but he gave up on it.

And how is that even a bad thing? He’s basically demoted himself to J. Cole status which is still high up there.

But only time J. Cole could hang with Drake on a track was on a song like Looking For Trouble where he turned everybody into amateurs. But even Drake’s verse on All Of The Lights Remix is better than that.

This is a great album, but the one liners don’t pop no more off first listen like when he was on his Wayne shyt but kept your attention for a whole album on his Nas shyt. He still on his Nas shyt, but the Wayne affect is missing. That comes from really having something to prove instead of just being a great artist.

The boy even dissed Weeknd on the tape and nobody cares.

Sucks that all I’m gettin from this album is good music. Rap is not, at its core, merely good music. It’s a device meant to shake u up on the spot.

He not hittin you with that no more. Just Big Sean without the cringe. Go to the club, pop this bottle, bag that model, and call it a night :unimpressed:

By that definition, everybody on this corny ass forum is insecure as fukk. All we do is talk shyt about people we never have and mostly never will even meet. Meanwhile Drake & Buddens at least have a relationship :yeshrug:

Let me reiterate that the insecurity isn't because Drake responded but in how he responded. He can say disagree and talk shyt about Budden all day. All good. But when he starts screaming Budden isn't even entitled to an opinion and getting Baby and his dad to come to his defense its clear its coming from a place of wounded hurt. Especially when we know that he used to look up to Budden. So really he's writing IG essays because he actually cares about Budden's opinion that much. Clearly it struck a nerve. It's all in the overreaction. The Lady Drake doth protest too much.

In other words there's a way to clap back in a cool way. And Drake just isn't cool. He just gives off bytch energy. :yeshrug:

As far as thecoli goes...corny? Sure. But still this place is fun lol.

So when you reach a certain maturity level you just gotta shut up and take it huh? Thats how y'all felt about rory and mal too? cause we aint seen high nor hare of them dudes after they tried to "stay above the fray"

all im sayin is, it is what it is. drake decided he had time, its not really a mark on his character.

It's not just a matter of age or maturity. What does Drake gain from taking shots at Joe? Since their been years ago, Joe has mostly been a Drake stan. Now he did that with the aim of getting a Drake interview, but regardless he's shown nothing but love until this past weekend.

Does it change the opinion of many who think the album is mid? No one is really talking about standout songs from the album, just this beef and the shots he takes at Rihanna and Michelle Obama.

Apparently Ak spoke to Drake and he explained why he reacted to Joe the way he did. He said Drake spoke to Joe too.
