A Review of  Drake New Album

I think it’s pretty great so far. I really like the R&B side, it seems like Drake found a good medium for implementing some new sounds along with including a lot of his usual musical elements.

There are definitely going to be millions of girls (and guys) tweeting quotes from those songs. I listened to the album initially and then gave the R&B side a second listen and it sounded twice as good.

I have a feeling this album is going to be one that grows on you with time, kind of like Take Care. But, who knows, I have thought that about some albums recently and it didn’t turn out to be the case.

As for the rap side (the first twelve songs), I still have to give it another listen to really determine my thoughts. But, as of right now, I like it.

None of the songs really jumped out at me or gave me chills but I did enjoy most of them. I would say the first four songs are definitely some gems. ‘Elevate’ was my early favorite.

Overall, I’d say this is going to be another solid album to add to the catalog. It feels fairly cohesive and the production is basically flawless, per usual with a Drake album.

Also, he definitely divulged a good amount about his life right now which, incidentally, is what most of the media surrounding the album is focused on.

Drake New Album Best Songs

I was first introduced to rap music sixteen years ago. I was twelve, and “Lose Yourself” had just taken the world by storm.

My early teen years were a bit of a mess. My family was going through financial strife, and the stress of coming home every day to a fraught atmosphere at home. Not knowing if the ground was about to drop from beneath us completely.  left me seeking comfort from anywhere I could find it. For me, it was Eminem’s music.

So I listened to every song of his I came across, and I heard him pay constant homage to those legends on whose shoulders he stood.

I set out to listen to as much rap music.  I could find, to better understand the culture and learn more about where Eminem came from.

Because of Eminem, I listened to Tupac, Notorious B.I.G, Outkast, Nas, NWA, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, DMX, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg.

Because of Em, I listened to Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Drake, J Cole, and Kendrick. I grew to love rap culture and understood the tough and often dangerous beginnings that created its greatest exponents.

At its core, I’ve always felt rap was about lyrics. Of course, it’s helpful to have a great beat, but the lyrical content — the story — is what’s paramount. What are you, the MC, sharing with your audience? Is it your life story, your sociopolitical opinions, your dreams, and your ambitions?

Is it your feuds, your comedy, or your darkest secrets? Good rap music, or any good music for that matter, answers the question — “Does this music enrich anyone in any conceivable way?” — with a resounding “YES”.

Drake’s New Album Features

Eminem has always done that. He speaks from his heart, whether you agree with his opinions or not. His best albums came from early in his career when he was in his darkest place mentally and financially. He was a desperate man, and desperate people make compelling cases for themselves.

Each album, The Eminem Show, SSLP, MMLP — were snippets of his life and personality/ies. It was easy to make his albums cogent and relevant — after all, he was talking to us, wasn’t he? Desperate people longing for a better life, or just kids not knowing if tomorrow was going to bring disaster.

However, Eminem has constantly produced good music, even if his present albums as a whole may fall short of his own record-breaking previous works.

Other Songs

Songs such as ‘Like Toy Soldiers’ and ‘Mockingbird’ from Encore, ‘Beautiful’ from Relapse, the entire second half of Recovery (which included amazing songs like ‘Love the Way You Lie’, ‘25 to Life’, ‘You’re Never over’, ‘Almost Famous’, ‘Spacebound’, and ‘Cinderella Man’), ‘Fast Lane’ and ‘Lighters’ from Hell: The Sequel, ‘The Monster’, ‘Headlights’, ‘Bad Guy’, and ‘Rap God’ from the MMLP2, and finally ‘Arose’, ‘Bad Husband’, and ‘Walk on Water’ from Revival.

Mainstream media critics have grown increasingly self-righteous in their criticisms of Eminem’s albums which seem to have become their favorite punching bag.

Even when audiences are divided over the albums’ merits, media critics have been almost unanimous in condemnation of Eminem’s recent works. No one is preventing them from having an opinion, but to dismiss Revival as “trash” — and in one voice — sheds light on a larger game being played, one where ageist diatribe is constantly spewed to tear down Eminem’s current music before it even reaches its audience.

Why is Eminem so angry? He’s a rich man now, why does he whine? Why does he insult modern artists? Why is this washed-up, 45-year-old fool still rhyming words together, he’s clearly past it.

Except, he’s not past it. The media and the public have forgotten what good music is all about. Especially what good rap music is all about.

The mainstream media critics have encouraged the worst stereotypes of hip-hop artists — gang culture, mediocre, childish fascination for drugs, and violence mumbled out over trap drums that Joe and Jane.

Anybody can bob their heads to — and are lashing out at a legend who dares to call them out on their bullshit fandom over ghost-writing so-called “GOATs”, drugged-up kids on Soundcloud who need help and rehab, and dismissal of those who inspired the current crop of true musicians such as J Cole and Kendrick Lamar.

Which brings us to Kamikaze, the latest Eminem offering. Somehow, almost every comment section, radio station, MC, YouTube reviewer. Moreover, anyone I’ve spoken to loves this album, especially the songs ‘Lucky You’, ‘The Ringer’, and ‘Fall’. Personally, I also love ‘Stepping Stones and ‘Venom’.

Review

Yet Pitchfork, Billboard, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Rolling Stone. Then various other so-called ‘unbiased’ critics have all but panned the album. The because he’s now “a 45-year-old who either knows better or is outrage-trolling for the attention he doesn’t need”, to quote the Pitchfork review.

But no, the world was not ready for a rapper to be emotional, to show he has weaknesses, to bare his soul. The world, for all its hypocritical politically correct bullshit, still doesn’t want men seeking redemption.

And so Kamikaze brings us Slim Shady again. Enjoy. But keep in mind that in a just world, Eminem would’ve gone down a different road and brought us joy instead of perverse pleasure.
