celeb news Drake responds to criticism, claims album is ahead of it's time

[HASHTAGPOW]

Bionic, the standard 

[tshwark]

I liked it, nice background music but not ahead for sure, very DJ koze, Elderbrook.

 

 

[Blade Runner]

King is right. 

 

[SomethingSweet]

"Ahead of its time" being one of the MANY things Xtina is responsible for setting as a trend.

 

I like the album a lot

He’s released a project every year since 2015 I think everyone is just burnt out. He needs to take a 5 year break at minimum.

He took a 3 years break from 2018 and released on 2021. I think he’s more than welcome to keep releasing as quickly as he wants. The albums amazing.

I'm just glad black people are getting house music heard by mainstream again. It is a black created music genre after all 

All facts.

What is your definition of a break...? He released like 20  40 tracks in that time period before CLB

I mean between those albums  he released several mixtapes, EPs and compilations. And bear in mind that his mixtape releases are practically the same as album releases as he treats them in the same way (i.e. a big theatrical release and on streaming platforms/to purchase - see

"Dark Lane Demo Tapes", "Care Package", "Scary Hours"), not just released for free like normal mixtapes.

i love the album<3

[Thinking Of You]

House music will be the sound of this decade so yes, he’s right in terms of the sound being ahead of the trend or time because it isn’t mainstream just yet. But the album is just not good

[Pikachoo]

He shouldve worked longer on the project instead of rush releasing it just to be "the first black artist to dip into house". Its transparent as **** and it shows in the quality.

Aubrey, that album was a fail because of ur immaturity.

Exactly this, even though Lisa Shaw did it way before him with her album Free in 2009 and is also from Canada. Drake is the first black mainstream artist to give it a wider platform. He definitely rushed this as an ego boost. 

[James_Dean]

Not him calling that monotone mess "ahead of its time"  he deserves the lashings

[manwhore]

I liked it. It's better then rap trash  and that's what rap daba are nervous about.  A good evolution if  rap  goes this route.

How is he the first black artist to dip into house when house was created by black people? He’s simply reclaiming black music. 

[infrared]

Him and The Weeknd taking the biggest Ls 

they knew the music wouldn’t do well 

 

it’s not like this is new for him - passion fruit, take care, hotline bling are some of his biggest singles  please hunny - it’s just lazy noise. His rap got repetitive and now his singing is as well. It’s not bad it’s just lazy.

Aren’t most genres black influenced 

[Morissette]

Lol at that dry boring sleepy pop-rap being referred to as "house". Learn what house music is please.

Yea but they’ve been co-opted and been redefined as a white genre. Rock is a great example of this.
