I'm starting to think theres a conspiracy.

Beyonce's album ain't touching this...not by a mile.

And "critics" are panning this?

What the fukk is going on?

@hustlemania explain this.

Beyonce just released AOTY easily. 93/100 on meta rite and rising. Check the fans. Then check the reviews. I'm a man and I recognize the greatness of album she just made. Certified classic.

This album is lukewarm. Solid 5/10. Check the fans, then check the reviews. 72/100 and dropping.

They all miss sometimes, and Drake just had his. It happens.

Even DMX & Faith Evans are credited as writers, does this mean they sat in the studio and gave dude bars? man c'mon

If they did the album would be a lot better

[stealthbomber]

album is overall aiiiiight though

6/10

feel no way, hype, 9, redemption, views



what the fukk was future thinking on that feature might be his worst verse of all time

 

[Mowgli]

No...he said that shyt to get ahead of what he knew was a lagging start of the album and a dragging end to it. There is no artistic vision to this album bruh...keep it 100. He added that fukkin Summers Over interlude to try and convey that point but where's the Winters Coming interlude ft. John Snow at?.

He tried to copy lupe

 

[Hardaway]

Theres a lot of struggle punchlines on this album especially on weston roads flow, I feel like meek was the sacrificial lamb and died for the greater good got drizzy feeling insecure about having writers so he decided to write himself on this album and the outcome wasnt good

The singing songs are really my favorite songs honestly, feel no ways redemption

struggle punchlines but u a lloyd banks stan

Pretty damn much. If he would have made a movie of some short for all the songs on the album on some Beyonce shyt it probably would have made it better..but I doubt it.

Been listening to the album since it was released and my feelings for it has been . It's not good or bad just ehh. I mean it's cool, but it's the same ole shyt. Same ole Aubrey whining about the same ole bytches who broke his heart, the same ole fake friends in his life and the same ole fame that he has to deal with.

This album really could have been THE album that certified Aubrey as the KING of the new school of rappers. Instead he took the safe route and did the same ole shyt. Simp anthems mixed in with catchy singles. No growth at ALL.

The album was going to sell a millie first week regardless, but he could have really took the opportunity to step out of his comfort zone and make an album that is undeniable.

And if he wanted to do that, he should have legit took his TIME with this one. Which means he shouldn't have dropped If You're Reading This Its Too Late. Which means he shouldn't have dropped all those album quaiilty loosies for the past few years. Which also means he shouldn't have made that unnesscary album with Future.

He should have held on to a majority of those tracks. He should have sat back and took his sweet time making this album to perfection. If that meant he had to disappear for year or too and only show up once in a blue moon with his hair all nappy and beard all grown out cuz he's locked himself (and those writers ) in the studio to make a classic album then that's what he had to do.

Instead he took the safe route and did the same ole shyt. He stuck with what he knows.

Sure he is going to have a future number 1 hit with One Dance. Sure he is gonna have the clubs on lock with them catchy ass singles like Pop Style. But by the end of the year those are going to die out and folks are gonna look at Aubrey like "Sooooo you gonna give us that classic timeless album or what? "

It's a damn shame too cuz I really thought Drake would have dropped that undeniable classic by now. But it seems like the closest he got album wise was Take Care. But even that fall short of it

His only classic is from a mixtape...and that's a damn shame...

[Rembrandt]

this shyt is incredibly cohesive, though. flows really well.
