    Lmfao that's nothing like drake

    How is it not?

    Drake doesn't make love songs. 95% of his songs are shot him fuckkng up with a girl in the past and now that he's famous he wants her back . Kendrick isn't even singing on th track. Drake slow moody songs are superficial . This is a song about his fiancé .

    U ? took that ? WAY too literal :joy:

    I'll never listen to "LOVE" ever again.

    yes. more cheesy.


    the zacari ? sounds lame.


    the tone of the record is on some drake* ? , melodically and instrumentation wise. it sounds like this ? :

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk_6afbuO0w


    kendrick's lil melodic "i only wanna be with you" ? sounds like some try hard ? . he dont hafta do that.


    so yeah, more cheesey than Foldin Clothes.

    More cheesy than eating cheerios with almond milk & foldin panties???


    Nah


    the whole almond milk thing was corny.


    but LOVE as an entire song sounds cheesy.


    atleast folding clothes as a groove to it...if only its redeeming quality.

    "Love" is no doubt a song drake could have done without missing a beat.

    So now he not singing on the track? LOL come on man keep it funky.

    Its not a wack song though. Its just skippable 9/10 times due to the content.

    LOVE. isn't a bad song really. Rappers singing on the odd occasion isn't new no matter the subject matter



    Lupe on his new joint sang too... you'd definitely have someone like Ghostface Killah singing love songs on an old RnB instrumental...



    And one of my favourite HipHop songs is BIG's 'Playa Hater'...

    Smh and lmao. Some of y'all must have some ? ass non-loving relationships. Both of the songs were to a wife and fiancé, not some regular chick.

    I've got to do this next. I know someone mentioned it several posts back.


    This album has 2 stories, wickedness story and weakness story, listening to it in order 1-14 tells one story, while listening to it 14-1 tells a different story. In one he lives through FEAR, in another one he lives through RAP and dies on the street, becoming just another news story, hence why the order 14-1 ends with the BLOOD's Fox News sample. The cover shows 2 kendricks, a wicked red one, and a weak green one on the back. The reversed parts in the album are the hints of him telling us to "PUT IT IN REVERSE" Either way, the title works, in his life, growing up with a father and living "right" he still FEARS, because when we die, we leave everything behind, even if you are living right, an act of kindness can ? you as simply as that, as we are constantly reminded "WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH STAYS ON EARTH!"even if he lives through RAP, the backwards order, he ends up dead in the street by an act of kindness, dying and leaving everything on earth all the sameThat's the meaning of DAMN, from the word DAMNATION, that once we die we are cursed to leave everything behind.



    Very insightful...



    Another conceptual tale like gkMc
