i have not listened to this album but i highly doubt that their take on brostep is a step down from being the hands-down worst group in the 90's breakbeat/"Big Beat" scene
I know that The Crystal Method make electronic music and that they are reasonably well-known, and that one of their tracks is used as the theme song to Bones.
I'm wondering if a mention of compression really belongs in this review. I know what it is, and some others will understand it, but it may be wisest to use a more basic description for the non-electronic junkies.
and there was that one time where this monstercat brostep album got a "great" because the dude occasionally used 6/8 time and the odd complex harmony or two
...
it was literally the same person who wrote this The Crystal Method review ohmygoooooooddddd
how do you think I feel when I see yet another website give Nothing Was The Same a 10/10.
Drake gets more boring every day, doesn't he?
He's not just boring.
There are other boring rappers / singers that hipsters like for no reason (like Future, and more recently Fat Trel and Li'l Durk).
He's boring and his subject matter is like, ridiculously childish. You're a grown-ass man, stop singing about how the waitress at Hooter's broke your heart because she wouldn't give you her phone number.
you think that's a joke, but there's actually a fucking song on there about that where he names said waitress specifically. A fact that was praised in the album's Pitchfork review (which in turn put me off of Pitchfork for like a month).
honestly the funniest thing to me about "Started From The Bottom" jokes is that that's probably the best song on that album.
Which is kind of like saying that green mold is the most appetizing.
you've gotta be shitting me man
really?
"Started From The Bottom" is just a boring, mostly unintelligible mess. As opposed to a boring, unintelligible mess that is also an anthem for misogynistic manchildren.
Even for a rapper known for sniping at non-famous girlfriends on record, he's breathtakingly petty here: The album is four days old on the internet, and already his line "The one that I needed was Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree/ I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me" from "From Time" is infamous, a reference so specific that the actual Courtney has had to put a padlock on her social-media life. Drake has been talking to old flames who have no equivalent soap box to climb on to talk back since before "CeCe's Interlude", of course, but as he's gotten more famous, they've grown more malicious, and here they feel like a series of emotional drone strikes.
Somehow, this is not only a good thing. But an 8.6 (what a meaningless .6, by the way)/10-level good thing.
there's more where he bitches about his mom, another part where he wants to go to his high school reunion so everyone has to go through a metal detector to shake his hand, the list goes on.
Like, it's as though every manchild in the world decided to elevate this random-ass dude to superstar status because they felt he embodied everything they stood for.
The saddest part is that dude was not always like this, he used to be a pretty OK rapper who bit Lil Wayne a little too hard but had otherwise never done anything offensive.
His verse here is actually, like, decent (again, leaning very heavy on the Lil Wayne style punchline/punchline/punchline rap, but that's not necessarily a bad thing) even if the hook is forgettable.

who does he think he is, the president of the united states
HE'S FUCKING CANADIAN SO EVEN IF HE DID THINK HE WAS THE HEAD OF STATE OF HIS COUNTRY NO ONE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A METAL DETECTOR TO SHAKE HIS HAND
DO YOU KNOW THE LAST TIME SOMEONE TRIED TO ASSASSINATE A PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA?
NEVER
THAT HAS NEVER. FUCKING. HAPPENED. BECAUSE CANADA IS NOT A DANGEROUS PLACE
listen to an Eminem song without the very quality of his voice making you want to puncture your eardrums so that you might never hear such unholy noise again.

Oh sweet lawdy...
His music is excessively melodramatic and silly, but there are worse things to be.

DRAKE IS NOT A DANGEROUS MAN
HE SUCKS
HE SUCKS A LOT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Somebody is always suing every notable rapper. It is a fact of the universe.
(incidentally this song is about 400x better than anything on Nothing Was The Same and it's not even one of Eminem's best songs.)
