This x10000

Ppl dunno how the song creation process for so many rappers goes, esp big time platinum artist. They got like 20 ppl in the studio puffin purp n sipping and just tossing out hooks n hot rhymes

Facts, I'm surprised people are surprised by this whole thing.

Criteria for hip-hop is completely diff than that of every other music genre, so stop bringing up people idc about like Beyonce. Yall sound like some hoe nikkas, defending a rapper that brags about his pen game-but aint penning his rhymes. Yall like that nikka THAT much lol, damn..


It's disgusting. Especially the cornballs taking a faux-elitist stance of "you guys must not know how the music industry works"

As if Rihanna not writing her own shyt and Lupe Fiasco not writing his own shyt are the same thing.

This is hip hop you clowns. It's the music of an oppressed people expressed from the heart and soul through the pen. The same rules never applied to hip hop. Let's not play naive just because "Best I Ever Had" got you through a tough break up.

I can never look at some of y'all seriously again when it comes to hip hop discussions. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Yeah I already said Know Yourself was prolly for Drake. The other two are definitely Quentin. So not only is Quentin writing FOR Drake, Drake going through QM's collection picking and choosing songs he likes :dead:


Dude is picking out songs and only keeping the best lines. nikka quentin prolly like "damn so you didn't like my other bars breh?"

nikkas FURIOUS!!!
"You know how that shyt GO!!!"
:heh:

:blessed:So far I'm at "Know yourself"

I HAD TO GET OUT THE CHAIR WHEN THE BEAT DROP

Hit that running man

"RUNNING THRU THE STREETS WITH MY WOOS"



I

Energy, 10 Bands, and Legend are all bangers so far.

I'm kinda disappointed. The tape has real nice production, it's really cohesive, lots of cadences and dope flows from Drake. I don't feel Drake snapped or even tried to snap on any track. There's nothing like 5AM in Toronto or Lord Knows in here, no lyrical introspective track like a The Resistance, The Calm or Too Much. This is just real ambient, some Toronto night sounding shyt. 6 God been out and Used To was just on Weezy's mixtape.

Jungle :blessed:

Know Yourself :blessed:

Madonna :blessed:

That Views From The 6 finna be crazy though :blessed:

When you started stanning Kendrick? :dahell:


:dwillhuh:

:scust:

Ima just let you cook breh. :whoa:

RUNNING THRU THE SIX WITH MY WOOOOOOOOOES :damn:

RUNNING

THRU

THE 6

RUNNING THRU THE SIX WITH MY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEESS


FCK I WANNNA PUNCH MY LAPTOP AND FLIP MY DESK OVER TO THIS FCKIN HOOK


RUNNIN THRU THE SIX WIT MY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES :damn:

Yooo this sht dnt even feel like 17 songs

This sht soo easy to listen to

Im liking this tape a lot

Legend, Energy, 10 band, Know yourself, Madonna, Wendesday Interlude, No tellin, 6Pm in New York, Jungle, and You and the 6..goo waaaaaaay too haard :noah:



10 bands is undeniable. I wish he would've put "how about now" on here

10 Bands is going to be the next 0 to 100

"I want that Ferrari then I swerve, I want that Bugatti just to hurt..... "

talk that shyt DRIZZY!!! :damn:

I haven't heard any body talk about how fire that Used To track is. That, know yourself and energy are my favorites. He can have the rest of that shyt though.

"I can tell ya bout them safe house nights out in Calabasas"


TELL US!!! PLLZZZZ :damn: :damn: :damn:

These are all classics

Legend
Energy
10 Bands
Preach
Jungle
6PM in NY

If Wayne wasn't on Used To, it would be the best track on here for me. Still a dope track though.


This my anthem forever though, Runnin' thru the 6 with my woes, countin' money you know how it goes:wow:

runnin thru the 6 wit my woes!!!



#thankyoudrakegod
:blessed:

Coldest rap song out

pray the real live foreva mannne pray the fakes get exposed

Shyt goes. Stop hating. Especially that part.

that hook has really stuck in my head....so far Legend and Know Yourself are some of the catchiest hooks in Drake's discog

After reading through the hype and hate i gave this some spins....




At first Im listening not payin too much attention like this shyt sounds like Drake throwaways:shaq2:







Took it for a spin in the whip, and to the gym... shyt aint been the same since:whew:


Energy
10 bands
Know yourself
Madonna
6 God
Star67
Preach
Used to
You and the 6
Jungle
6pm

I didnt like 10 band at first but now that shyt has me like :blessed: :wow: :gladbron: :stylin: :mj:

Energy and Know Yourself separating themselves from the pack. Still think No Tellin and 10 bands bump tho. 6 pm and 6 man after that

RIP to OVO Fest with he does know yourself... i can't miss that :wow:

know yourself :noah:

Drake laced this shyt :wow:

Fire Drake verse

Drake :damn: nikka be talkin that shyt when he wants too

You crazy.

The first 5 songs are the hottest shyt in Drakes career

What are you talking about? First off this album went platinum in like its 3rd week and all the songs charted.

Know Yourself, Energy, 10 Bands, and Legend all been getting max replay

Sparks said he was there, and they told him to get in the booth and "fukk around" in those Hov sessions back then. That's normal. I've seen that a million times. QM said they called him and asked him to come help out. Dude's a dope artist. I'm sure they heard some shyt and wanted him to come build. That's what Hip Hop is. Has always been. We want to believe that everything's organic and coming from one place, but that's basically the opposite of what this has always been. We pull from shyt, even people. I don't like the whole move to get a reference for a feature. That's wack to me. But if it's your project, build with whoever you want. Marley Marl said most of the Juice Crew sessions went that way. That was damn near 30 years ago. This is what goes on.

Ppl needa read this.





And for the record, I never thought drake was a great rapper. Dude makes great songs and has a great ear for beats.

Iono how ppl surprised when he's giving writing credits out like cookies

Man if you don't get out of here with this bullshyt. :camby:

"fukking around" in the studio ain't the same as a reference track. It's not the same as the guy you're writing for singing, and you're giving him the melodies.

Nobody in the game who is supposedly the best has ever needed this level of help. As I've pointed out literally 20x, this is some Lil Kim, Eazy-E shyt. There wasn't no fukking Sparks feeding Jay-Z reference tracks with built in hooks and shyt. C'mon son. You gotta try this with people that don't actually know their history.
