#Drake #ForAllTheDogs #AppleMusic - Hudba
"Two things can be true: Drake doesn't owe his fans anything, and we don't owe him our admiration. No one is beyond critique." "He is an artist, and both the art and the artist will be judged."
Y'all ain't judgin, y'all hatin
Nadeska slyly saying that she'd never have this problem as a J. Cole fan is hilarious 🤣
Take out kod Cole has progressively gotten better
@@curtiszyrI loved KOD when it came out but it hasn’t sounded the best recently when I went back
coles last album did not have much replay value for me and thats coming from a big fan
@@tpatzzzzFACTS
@tpatzzzz I pop that on at least once a week because it's such a fast listen.
Nadeska is the literal queen of interview spin and I LIVE FOR IT 😂 She can be as shady as the Brazilian jungle and she walks away with no blood on her hands. She is truly an icon 😂
The everyday struggle cast really all flourishing
wonderful writing here lol
She’s a slithering 🐍 thats y 😂
“I don’t think it’s a ceiling, I think it’s what he’s doing right now” is the funniest statement about this album 😂😂
Drake and Lebron really are the goats, people get their underwear in a bunch whenever they do something they don’t like
it´s funny that without joe we wouldnt have these vivid discussions about music since these artists don´t even go out to discuss their albums
Who is joe
@@shyne1308joe mama
@@MegaUtube99 huh
@@shyne1308😂😂😂 joe budden
@TheTOP5BOSS the pumped it up guy? Haven't heard that name in 15 years lol
I understand where Low comes from but we should just accept Drake ain’t gonn give us a full rap album , he also said it that he wouldn’t do that bc he wants to mix it with R&B. This is a normal Drake album , I didn’t expect anything.
Low is setting himself up to fail thinking Drake or any other artist will sound like what he wants to hear. Those unrealistic expectations he had for this album are on him, not Drake.
Drake fans don't want a full rap album..that why we stream it every time. We don't listen to drake to hear all rap. It's other rappers for that..how crazy u got to be to expecting something different after 15 years. Just stop listening
@@shyne1308fuck you talking about we want that all rap album more than anything
Why call it it for my dogs if it sint a rap album 100%. We better go back to listening to Tupac All Eyes On Me. Double album full 100% rap
Ebro is begging for that Drake interview. “Drake is my dad and I love him” - Ebro
Nadeska really listening to a Rap Podcast in person
The thing is… Drake is still talking about HIS life. People are expecting him to just talk about what we wanna hear but it’s his life 😭 This album is actually similar to his older projects, people are just living in Nostalgia fr
The album is just lackluster and mid like his projects 4 projects lol. Drake stans just eat it up. Drake can fart on record and it still going to number one at this point. He is not interested in making full bodies of work anymore. He has gotten lazy and refuse to grow and mature in his music. Him and Nicki suffer from the same issues. They need to grow tf up and stop catering to ppl half their age. There's nothing wrong in aging gracefully with your audience
@@AngeBiampandou I personally understand it on both sides. I don’t think the same people that want him to “grow up” would actually take the time to listen if he was to release a mature album and then he would lose out on his younger audience. It’s sad to hear but the reason he’s still relevant and that we’re still having conversations about him is because he caters to the young audience but also different genres, can’t please everyone but that’s who’s driving his sales unfortunately.
Drake is a true Scorpio on this album.
In my opinion his album is a 10 and his catalog is only growing to a goat status. He is currently
BIG FACTS
Drake did NOT go crazy after J Cole’s feature. 😂
Right!
He was spitting stop the cap he went off he just didn’t snap to the level of J Cole
@@djshowout8001facts
Bro what? IDGAF is right after
At all! Lol
Bro y’all gotta understand that drakes makes music for the whole world. He’s gonna give us a playlist type album because he’s bigger than rap. People need to stop hating on him so much and just accept the fact that rap drake is gone. That was his come up. He’s bigger than rap now. He’s an artist.
That’s unfortunate for the rap fans
The best artists, who I think drake is a member of (or at least used to think) stay themselves without trying to appease anyone and still appeal to the whole world
That whole album sound like a playlist
album was trash either. above all that he's an artist and this was horrible
Also I hate when ppl make the distinction between making rap and being an artist,rappers are artists
I think drake has definitely reached his ceiling. We didn't need 23 tracks of this.
Drake said the dog days aren’t over. Not yet.
Thanks Ebro for always highlighting thoughts that we might not see.
I think it’s time for a lot of us as drake fans who grew up w his music to realize…..he is no longer making music for us. And that’s ok.
tf are you talking about. he's making the same music. 8am in charlotte could've come out in 2011. bbl love could've come out on iyrtitl. yall be saying anything.
@@mikem4481for real lol. He hasn't had growth and people keep making excuses. I think it's only more apparent now since the star power is starting to fade a little. All said as a Drake fan with him being in my top 5 Hip Hop musicians.
cap
@@mikem4481so accurate
He’s done
I saw little yachty tell Drake he was getting up there in age in an interview and you can see it clearly disturbed him. He just should have named the album Mid-Life Crisis and would have been spot on
😂😂😂
DRAKE WAS ACTING. CHILL
He was clearly acting
Straight out of a Dj Akademiks clip lool
Ebro is playing devil's advocate this entire conversation.
He’s actually God’s advocate cause in this convo Drake is God
Personally I think Away from Home is one of the best if we're talking about lyrical greatness
daylight, first person shooter...
@@mikem4481from drake bro
Thank you. It’s this & first person shooter
Drake got rich, got everyone in his pocket and got lazy, he will take a break and his next album will be fire.He has been living life to the fullest. Speedy recovery Drizzy.
Yall clowns will just say the next album is his worst and sounds the same 🤣🤣
Drake is done
Recovery for what?
MUSIC IS SPIRITUAL IF U KNOW, YOU KNOW…
Big facts 💯
Drake always gon stay scheming.. Hate it or love it
Ebro right, only ppl mad are the ppl that feel like they got got. They get got every album expecting the impossible.
Good points made. It’s ok, in my opinion, to feel disappointed when your expectations aren’t met. But I’m not in the business of critiquing an artist’s creative process. It’s theirs. You can either support it or not.
Loved this talk. Sound and Club Ambition, y’all need to get on this! 🔥
I think it's my generation that's angry because we're looking at Drake to fill in the hole. Most of the lyrical rappers from the 90s and early 2000s are retired. We only have a few left. Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Griselda Records...We're looking for that next classic HipHop album.
Probably gonna be a while until that actually happens since hip hop music is on the decline as far as quality
In the top 3 rappers kendrick and cole dont give out enough material so yall get mad at Drake for putting out too much
Ebro deserves an Oscar for this segment. Great acting.
I’ve been saying that Drake is dealing with the Lebron effect. He’s been good for so long, that people keep expecting him to get even better with time, but that’s unrealistic.
best R & B record from Drake
Lowkey and all y'all like him need to come up off it and realize that some other set of people somewhere love Drake for his R&B songs and he has to make music for all his fans
If you like 5 songs on a 20 plus song album, it's a dud. Ebro.
I’m glad Ebro came into this with nuance to combat low lol
Love y’all 3 together 💯🔥
The whole thing with music is fans NEED to stop expecting things and just take the art for what it is
Drake puts these things in people's heads that have them expecting something. Then he sends his minions like Yachty to hype it up even more. Then the album is called for all the dogs. So yes we expected something harder.
@@youngtdublexactly, was just about to Say that. When your a drake FAN n you expect his old energy, which hes promising n he doesnt deliver you WILL be disappointed.
So basically lower your expectations on music releases and just accept anything 😂😂😂 yall drake fans are goofballs for real lool
@@rainingherschel4232 big facts. Lol
Love Y’all. Great show.
If you guys really listen close this album is tc 2 . I honestly love this album. We can all revisit this album down the line and embrace it. He’s as vulnerable as ever and it’s amazing
STOP. The. 🧢.
😂
You’re trolling
Drake don’t gotta take no fkin break…don’t listen to them Drizzy…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said himself he's taking about break for health reasons
You're a part of the problem. We all appreciate Drake, but that album isn't it. 😅
💯 Drake you still have some true fans!!! People wish they could be Drake (or at least they wish they had his money)!!!
@theinsightfulvisionary0197 so if your a drake fan you should like everything he put out
@@theinsightfulvisionary0197 you sound like a woman
Ebro really want that interview 😂😂😂
He a genius at starting the conversation. This is his roll out.
You're right ...his trolling is part of his rollout, but... to sacrifice your album for a roll is wild.
Thank you Ebro. My thoughts is if I’m gonna take a break why not give a mashup of music to throw in your playlist to remember
You guys are ruining the music experience. What's the use of an album if you're just going to do that. Might as well just release singles only.
A mash of garbage
Bruh he is talking about taking a break!! Key word “Break “.. there for yes I’m gonna make a compilation for you to pick from 😠
I’ll put it this way, our expectations needs to be put aside. Take the music at face value for people to expect 10+ years of that is unrealistic! That’s for all artists.
Stop making excuses for Drake.
That’s cool, just don’t ever put him on the conversation with all the greats then. Jay z, nas, lil Wayne etc
@@donjuan2907he has a strong enough catalouge & a long enough run at this point to stand with any of them. Let's be honest.
EBRO THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST! I REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU THE ONLY ONE WHO IS REALLY HONEST ON THE ALBUM FEEDBACK
glazing
@@onouphriosdefinitely
What getting caught up in Kendrick's annihilation of Drake has taught me it's that Drake's lyricism hasn't fallen off because he never had it in the first place. Shout out to all his ghost writers who never got the credit they deserved.
This was a Gr8 concise RapLife Review! Shout out to Nadeska, Lowkey and Ebro and the Love the Fits!
At this point the hate is just for the sake of hate. We as a culture don’t love our artist we rip them to shreds, Taylor Swift is 34 making music about glitter, crushes, and being a princess and they respect her because she’s been on top so long.
PHONTE, they guy who drake got his style from! Is a perfect example of someone being a great Mc and Singer who consistently evolves his skills from his pen to his vocals without missing a step and it be nice to see drake able elevate in the same way
Talk about it! 💯
Yea but he also doesn't have the pressure to create hits
He’s not
9:13 IYRITL has entered the chat. It was a PERFECT blend of his styles. Classic, bar heavy, r&b blend, stellar production. C'mon Ebro, you bugging my G.
nwts and take care better
nah pure rap IYRITL is better
Ebro said weeks ago what the climate of rap was to the labels ...The Drake album has confirmed what he said IS HAPPENING whether everyone wants to believe that or not ..For some of yall ...go to the mirror and repeat after me ...."ITS OVER " lol
This has been the best album since More Life in 2017 you guy's wildin even learning the lyrics like from Take Care
The worst thing that happened to Drake's album is instant reaction...Drake wouldn't be the artist he is if people listened to his albums just of first listens
More life wasn’t even an album & this album isn’t that good
Solid and valid takes here good job crew
Big up ebro mane been such a solid and honest og
Solid conversations.
Ain't nothin' worth discussin' 'bout that album, man.Joe Budden Is Right About Drake! People hate Eminem, but at least, he replies with bars, not love letter tweets 😅
So he should rap @ a podcaster?
Drake does reply with bars . 4PM and Diplomatic immunity
@@AliFrankTheTankeh not really. We are talking now. He should reply with bars
@@leonarddoeman735 he announced a break before the album and i’m sure next feature it’s a “they talking ish with ish” line lmao
You can't argue with Ebro 😂😂
Nadeska's perspective blew my mind...love it! "im not taking this personal"...fyah!!!!!
Ebro made some great points as usual. "I've accepted Drake for who he is" had me dead.
Truth be told TORY LANEZ is really the GOAT
I swear these guys got the most valid discussions for this album
Ebro i hope Drake give you something the way he caping 😂
Yeah Ebrooo and Deska cookin 🔥
Just think last week they almost forgot about talking about the 6th straight incredible Nas album and here they are having a show about another drake album that sounds like every other drake album. And yall wonder why hip hop and the culture is a absolute joke.
Clean conversation 🎶
This was a dope convo very dope I love the objectivity
Yo my man Ebro was making the best and objective points shout out to you
He’s been stale creatively since more life
Scorpion & Her Loss are 🔥🔥🔥
Nothing was the same is his best
You mean since Views lol
@@AngeBiampandou nah homie. I said what I mean. I didn’t even like views
Nah since views
The lighting and make up on this show is amazing
Shout out Ebro for keeping the it real
Bro, that album was amazing. Every song slapped and y’all really receiving on Virginia Beach.
What y’all don’t see is he is still trying new things, he made a Dembow with BadBunny, a Dominican rhythim, the man is always reinventing himself
JCOLE HAD THE BEST VERSE ON THE WHOLE ALBUM BRO
I wish we got more songs like " Away from home" ,"Polar Opposites" & "8am In charlotte" there was too many songs like the one with Yeat where he shouldent have had
But I also think there was more hood songs than bad songs
YEAT, one of the top songs
Ngl away from home was fire
But yeat song is number 1 in USA and number 5 globally, so yeat deserves to be in the album, just drake needed to have a better mix and it would probably be great for Drake listeners(which I highly doubt cuz a few aren’t used to yeat voice)
“Polar opposites” , drew a Picasso, Bahamas promises, members only, BBL love …
I’ve just learned to except that he likes to sing all the time…. Only like 7-9 track I like on the album. The heavily singing ones.. not for me but I don’t mind it because I realize that he has a huge fan base that loves that part of him.
Ebro you are the GOAT
People expect so much out of Drake but won't put that towards their own life
Is anyone going to talk about that Drake "I'm bi" bar. I dont care the context. Thats a wild bar.
Of course not
right loll
“That ‘s valid . No , that’s valid “.😂 😂💯 cacklin
Great discussion
Great segment.
This album is all bark and no bite.
only Drake could provoke an amazing episode like this. You can say whatever you want about any other artist or "GOAT" but at the end of the day, there's nothing that gets us more fired up than discussing Drake, which is why podcaster and interviewers are even going viral on THEIR takes - you're not seeing that with ANY other artist. case closed. say what you want but i havent seen this much energy from ebro/lowkey about any other project that came out this year
Fax bro
Where were u when Joe Budden had a complete meltdown over Kamikaze
@@RawNoLimitsyou just made his point no??
@@michellerice1993 i did?
Being mad about drake not giving a full rap album is like people getting mad at Lebron for not doing the dunk contest. Let him be
1:25 my brother Ebro came through with the fire 🔥 on
on fear of heights he says "virginia i pull up and chill, you know you cant where i stay" he pulled up to the pharrell something in the water festival. top troller right there cause pusha could never come to toronto during ovofest
Drake gonna be here for a while.
A whole show on Drake....shamefully.
Who should they talk about? You?
It’s the biggest artist in hip hop lil bro keep it moving
@@belgiquenbabiggest artist promoted by the industry thats needs a cash cow
@@LilRocketP13 artist whom aren't lazy when it comes to their craft could or more likely should share the show, but seeing how Drake is the industry darling maybe they are forced to who knows.
That’s what happens when you breaking records and eating up the game
"Amen", "Calling For You", "Members Only", and "Rich Baby Daddy" are my favorites.
Nadeska with the gems!!!
To be fair, the way Drake dissed women on Her Loss received the same criticisms as this album but bc of the title that was the point
J COLE...will be the one who fills the space left by Drake and Kendrick...in terms of satisfaction from the album....once he drops The Fall Off
Meh lol
The off season came and went… CLB higher in the chart
@@TheWallethead Came and mf’in went 😄. Meanwhile they’re still running Drake tracks from 4 projects ago lol. I’m a fan of both btw but keep it a buck. Cole’s feature run has been better than the last album
He’s great on features.. doesn’t carry over that energy on albums
@@TheWalletheadCLB, Her Loss and For All the Dawgs 🔥🔥🔥🔥…. Cole and Kendrick got one since to compare .
I've never been more proud of Lowkey! Thank you brother for voicing for us. 😂👏🏾
He voicing for him..numbers say different
Drake is just staying young as many people would do in his position
fact
In other words Joe Budden was right.
@@anonm7742 in some ways yes
@ebro I think the failure thing is more about him having to quit rap to be able to keep paying his bills and be happy. In a ideal world I don’t think Joe would quit.
He wasn’t able to do what he loves and make a living… drake did.
Digging Nadeska's hair. Looks fly.
Man if you been listening to drake since day one this album is actually pretty good idk what ppl talking about 😂
how are people not understanding that Drake was mad about Joe saying J Cole killed him on his own song
Nope he talked about his dating life nobody worried about Cole
And i understand why. I think what no one picks up is J. cole verses/lines include a simile in every other line, meanwhile Drake verse on the first part uses only hyperboles. Cole only uses "Like" in his verse, meanwhile Drake uses "As" . It was intentional. They both wrote the song TOGETHER in the studio.
I think whats dope about this album is taken at surface level it seems shallow, but there a lot of little minute details in it, that unless you paying attention youre going to miss it like the track titles, cover, lyrics, etc.
@@Philosific the problem isn't really that though. You got J. Cole on the track talking about rappers/the rap game and Drake talking about women. The song isn't very cohesive, and I even liked Drake's verses on it. But after sitting on and listening to it in the car, the song is a bit of lyrical whiplash. Makes no sense and seems like they weren't even on the studio together when they were.
Dope Content & I Liked The Album💯👍
Good convo.
ITS A GREAT ALBUM. WITH GREAT DRAKE SONGS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the couch lol
Fear of Heights so fire
that Daylight and First Person inna row wild
Virginia Beach is Goated! Nobody is touching him. Be this critical w cole & Kendrick’s albums.
“I haven’t heard a dominant hook from Drake in a long time” when just last year everyone was singing “21 can you do something for me”
That wasn't a hook...
that was trash
