I don't think the content is the issue. If you want to rap about being rich and having fun that's fine. The issue is moreso the nonstop, endless resentment and pettiness in his music. Taking shots at Rihanna, disrespecting Esperanza Spalding, taking shots at Serena's husband. This is just wild behavior for a man who is nearly 40. Then you add in the complete inability to evolve his sound beyond riding waves. Barring whatever trend he's hopping on, it's the same melodies and flows.

Kanye made Yeezus when he was Drake's age. I see zero interest in pushing the envelope, changing the sound, or making a masterpiece like a Kanye. I thought Kendrick missed on his last album overall but at least there's an attempt to constantly push forward and explore as an artist. You can do all those things while still making brag raps. Drake clearly has no interest in doing it and I doubt he has the talent to.

But everything to do with his lack of maturity.
He has lived the bachelor life for decades, no sense of commitment. Living the life of a stupid 20 something year old out in clubs messing around like a damn high school nikka.

The reception of his album has nothing to do with a decline of his skill
More so to do with the fact this nikka still rapping about bitter childish things like a child would.

And most people are like “you’re still talking about this”?

Drake needs to grow up. If he did that his content would be laced with the wise introspection that would elevate his content.


:wow:
We are not his target audience. The 16-28 demo love his music. It is what it is

He makes songs for women primarily

most women are immature and feed into toxicity

it's really that simple, making shallow music for hoes will extend your shelf life far beyond the expiration date, he's been aware of that since So Far Gone took off




and just like most women, once he decides his toxic phase is over he'll still be able to snag a baddie and sail off into the sunset

:yeshrug: maybe well get the mature version then once he just can sit back and spit reflective bars

Not sure if he has a compelling enough story, or creativity to really push himself more. He has told his come up. He has rapped about his current life. Someone like Jay felt pretty creatively stalled after The Blueprint 2/The Black Album, Kingdom Come was an attempt to break out, and only kinda worked.

Nas is just someone who is a little more weird and dark, and pushed himself into creative zones, with his own life and imagination. Someone like Pac just led that wild of a life, where his real life was spilling so much into the music, the content just kept coming. If he lived, who knows where he would have ended up? Every artist with 10 or 20 years in, is going to hit rough spots. Nas with HHID. Jay with Kingdom Come, and those came roughly 10-12 years into their careers.

Drake just isn't that person, and raps his own life, but he also doesn't lead with depth or vulnerability anymore. What felt deeper and more vulnerable in 2011, isn't anymore. It's like Jay with the drug talk. He got a lot of criticism for that. Still does. He leads with kind of resentment and chip on his shoulder. Sounds like Jay on The Blueprint 2, ironically.

Wayne to me, lost that battle 15 years ago, and never matured. Hence his music hasn't evolved at all. Some would disagree, but he's been stuck since 2008/2009.

These are our great artists.

His music regressed, he already rapped about dealing with fame, broken relationships and friends. Now he’s rapping about being a open bachelor and other dumb topics.

Mfs on the coli just say whatever to hate and sound smart

When drake made the “dancehall rap” wave popular in the US, mfs were still saying the same thing

Coli still going about drake falling off and been doing this since I joined this site and yet hes still the most popular and one of the highest selling rap artist, and artist overall

so you can get people on the coli hating, mad that hes rapping about young people shyt, but these same haters on the coli gonna hate no matter what drake does or puts out :yeshrug:
