Drake’s third album Nothing Was The Same leaked online Sunday night — a week ahead of its official release date.
SPIN magazine’s editors
gave the disc a listen, then graded the album on Drake’s lyrical
content, quality of production, narcissism, bragging, gay-baiting, and
just about everything but his music.
Julianne Escobedo Shepherd was the most harsh in her criticism.
Giving Drake a 4 out of a possible 10, she lit into the Canadian
rapper for “bragging about Ellen Degeneres’ love for his music,” and
accusing him of hoping “to get the Macklemore treatment.” Macklemore is a
rapper whose track “same Love” became the summer’s gay-anthem despite the gays accusing the rap group of exploiting the gay community.
“Drake is not very good at rapping because he just doesn’t try very
hard,” wrote Brandon Soderberg, who agreed with Juliane’s assessment of
Drake’s “new romanticism given way to deflective narcissism.”
“Not every person you ever put your dick in or tried to put your dick
in has to be “supportive” of you,” writes Soderberg. “You should be
happy for Courtney who worked at Hooters who you were in love with or
whatever, who is about to get married to some other dude, you dick.”
Average Score 6.16 (C-)
