Genuflect:

I was downloading it today. The thing come go yari at 97%. I still dey vexxx!!!!!

da-whizkid:

d stuff don leak already genu? Give me link abeg na, !

eldee:

I'm such a hypocrite . . . when it was Nas & Damian Marley's Distant Relatives and Jay-Z's Blueprint, I waited for the release date.
Now it's Eminem and Drake . . . I've downloaded the whole thing.

dipo2much:

Drake's TML began to bore me after a while,i switched back to Distant Relatives which I have ben listening to for over a weak now. Nas and DM hit it.

Those who dont appreciate Nas should download ANY track from that album. Nas na KING

eldee:

Seriously . . .what's the use of release dates these days when everyone has it as soon as it leaves the studio??

hancock:

albums usually get leaked 1-2-3 weeks before their release dates . . . . . thats why we have release dates 
listened to the first 5 tracks on my way to work this morning. . . . . so far the album looks tight compared to relapse . . . . . . . just my opinion 

hax:

Were they worth it?

I hear Recovery's production is weak, and his wordplay is forced, and Drake is pop. lol

I've heard only Nicki's verse on the whole Thank Me Later. I'm not interested. I downloaded TML a few days ago, and Recovery yesterday. Haven't gotten to listening to them yet. Both haven't been impressing me lately. Can't be bothered yet. Maybe I'll try them tomorrow. Drake first.

Don't forget to d/l Reflection Eternal o.

The problem with Recovery is, we'll all be tempted to compare it to Relapse . . . any album will trash Relapse.
For now though, I've only listened to the song with Rihanna, Em's doing a Kanye (Bittersweet).

Drake's album is not what I expected it to be, but he has some really good commercial singles.
IMO B.O.B's album trashes TML on every level. I expected Thank Me Later to be like Late Registration.

I've got RPM, haven't listened yet.

TML was alright. Drake does know how to do his hooks and beats. It's a pity Eminem can't do the same.

Credibility lost.

aieromon:

Sorry he disappointed you.I knew a disaster was going to come out of this project,forget how many copies he eventually sells.He featured too many A-class rappers on the album(wonder if he was looking for a nationwide appeal).What was Nicki Minaj even doing on the album?

Two bloody singers competing for my-space.I'd rather listen to souljaboytellem.com than B.O.B

eldee:

I think B.O.B is the better than Drake at doing hooks. . . you should listen to the song he did with Giggz (UK's finest).
B.O.B's album was a journey through the world of music . . . listen to the song with Lupe Fiaso, and then the highlight of the album Magic.

Drake was too formulaic for me, it was the typical commercial album. . . track for track, Nothing on You trashes Find Your Love, Airplanes trashes Over, Magic trashes Light Up . . . B.O.B even had a rock song on his album, that's as good as it gets for a new rapper.

eldee:

@hax

I was comparing Thank Me Later to B.O.B's The Adventures of Bobby Ray.
Not Drake V B.O.B . . . and in my opinion, B.O.B's hooks are better.

I only put the Giggz song because I remember you on a thread saying he couldn't sing. . . I was like, WTF!!!

If you listen to old music, you'll notice that most times at the end of major eras different genres forge into a recognisable sound for the era itself.
It's been like that ever since, that's how you get sounds that define decades.

And yes, real rock fans don't like Lil Wayne because he's not good at rock . . . but they love Kanye to bits.

Rappers are not good musicians, it's something that you'll soon learn.
I believe in making good music, and when I say he did a rock song, I meant a rap song with Rock influences like Numb/Encore.

And I don't know if you didn't notice but R'nB (Yeah, KARMA), Rock (Let It Rock, Linkin Park), Soul, Pop(Diva) and most progressive genres have one time or the other picked up rap influences.
If it's good music, put it in . . . even MJ had some hiphop influenced sounds.

'Commercial' and safe is what Drake did, it's different from B.O.B's innovation . . . I've only listened to TML once though.
