I hate how the Internet mindbenderizes everything instantly into a ranking machine and tries to decide an albums fate before it has a chance to make an impact. Let shit breathe or just review music on it's merit, not its place in the infinite.

It's faster now too. Mutherfuckers don't even finish an album before they spout of abouts historical impact. Just viiiiiiiiiibe guys.

I like the majority of this. The production especially. 40 and Boi-1da did work

It's not a mixtape, it's a "digital album" that costs money and isn't available on datpiff or any of the other sites.

... and then it was removed from Soundcloud and only made available as a paid download, which means you're currently running afoul of whatever laws protect an artist's music from being stolen and distributed for free.

Not my forum though, do what you want.

dude sold over 500k his first weekend out and dude's made millions. whenever i get around to attempting to listen to it, i'll probably do so on spotify or rdio. got no need for that to occupy my hard drive. and i've got unlimited data.

It's on YouTube, it's easy to find with 45 seconds of focused effort, and he's rich out the ass forever. Don't worry about it.

this article is stupid imo. it ends off with "Drake makes a great product, but it isn't great art." what popular rapper makes "great art"?

he accuses Drake of cultivating "virality" when it's really just writing catchy lyrics, which is a staple of all commercially successful rap

Don't feel so bad. There are three or four songs I've had on repeat since it came out. I too am feeling weird and vulnerable about it.
