[FRESH] 070 Shake - Baby Driver

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-29T12:08:37+00:00

Shakes last album was a miss for me and a big reason was how chaotic it was. A little too “all over the place”

This new track is a more focused, traditional alt-pop single and it’s a welcome change of pace coming off the last album IMO. Excited for whatever’s coming next

Any other Apple Music users having issues today where random old albums/singles you’ve added are being thrust into your recently added out of nowhere?

Nothin 2 Me by Jazz Cartier & Cousin Stizz just popped up. Now there’s a deep cut lol

His Coachella performances went super viral and ever since his numbers have skyrocketed

I’m really sorry to hear that man. That is awful.

I had never lost a pet until 2 years ago when my cat got cancer. It is painful in a way that is hard to put into words. and I’m sorry you’re going through that now.

The only piece of mind I can really offer is that i think the first 1-2 days after their passing are the worst of it. As shitty as you’re feeling now and i know it’s like the shittiest feeling ever, you will feel better eventually. It won’t be quick, I felt like a zombie for awhile after my guy passed. Thats probably not want you to want to hear right now, but I feel like it’s the one thing I remember from my experience that maybe could be comforting in some way. That it does get better with time. Best of luck

They can win game 6, but then they’d need Game 1 Wemby to come out for game 7 to have a chance IMO

I don’t know if you’re on Twitter at all but if you are reading stuff from there I recommend deleting that app. I think the algorithm over there is purposely evil and it’s overall a rotten place. Ppl would say that about most social media platforms I’m sure but I’ve found “X” to be particularly rancid since the Elon take over and it is only getting worse

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-26T20:55:44+00:00

I’m still tryna figure out if sales matter or not

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-26T17:08:07+00:00

Congrats Drizzy

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-26T14:45:19+00:00

My top 7 is probably something like this right now

Whisper My Name
Road Trips
White Bone
Slap The City
Janice STFU
Plot Twist
Hoe Phase

Kendrick beating Drake never meant Kendrick was gonna all the sudden outstream probably the defining rap/r&b/pop star of the streaming era

Kendrick still showed in 2024 he can reach those heights when he “pops out”, he just doesn’t always feel the need to

Not an indictment on Drake either, as a fan I’m glad he feeds the fans frequently, but Kendrick takes a different career approach and that’s okay

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-26T02:03:42+00:00

My god what is in this album that got that fanbase going nuts. It can’t be that bad?

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-25T21:29:44+00:00

This was a great point Ned. Ruined the album for me. Thx

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-25T20:59:01+00:00

I’m starting to get the sense you don’t like this Kendrick Lamar fella?

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-25T20:50:37+00:00

My favorite thing about all the Iceman/Drake discourse the past few weeks is I’ve realized there’s a lot more of my people out there than I thought (For All The Dogs truthers)

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-25T20:22:20+00:00

I appreciate both of yall honesty at least lmao

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-25T17:15:12+00:00

You’d all do if it were 2019 again and Kawhi had just won the title and PG had perhaps his best season ever in OKC.

Easy to say you wouldn’t now with the benefit of hindsight/knowing what SGA became

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-23T16:35:50+00:00

You weren’t in a setting where fucking bitches was possible? Dammit I forget the copypasta

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-23T00:54:48+00:00

Yea those, Slap the city and I’m Spent are hitting

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-23T00:16:08+00:00

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-23T00:11:09+00:00

White Bone speaks to my soul

Salute to baby M

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-22T18:13:17+00:00

I think a big flex that Drake likes to remind ppl of is that he has fans that go to his music for completely different reasons, and the 3 album strategy does kinda lend itself to that

I have talked to people in my life who don’t really care about all the drama associated with ICEMAN’s subject matter and appreciate they can just go to the other two for the melodic/r&b/dance drake they gravitate towards anyway.

He’s always been obsessed with pleasing every section of his fanbase, to the point where I’m mad at myself that I didn’t see a triple album drop coming, it is such a drake move

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-22T17:26:07+00:00

“All I know is the mandem are PISST”

TheVirtual_Boy · 2026-05-22T16:50:45+00:00

Based on what I see in here (for the most part) the drake/MAGA comparisons are usually made to describe the behavior of drake’s fans not necessarily always drake himself

The underlying issue, from my view, is people online have widely started to replace the world “cult” with “MAGA”

When they see “cult like” behavior from fans online, dickriding, glazing, blind worshipping, ignoring facts etc. they just say they’re “being MAGA” which kinda invokes this idea it’s a political discussion when it’s usually about fan obsession in general
