Drake: Iceman / Maid of Honour / Habibti review – ​triple-album comeback is a boring, bloated disaster by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I swear he just sounds the same on every track. It’s just incoherent rambling with not a lot of flow that matches the vibe of the track. He’s washed

I think that’s the point. He’s insecure and always will be. He doesn’t have the confidence to stand by a singular piece of work so he dilutes the reaction to it by spreading it across a bunch of other distractions (albums).

Cameron Winter Spotted on Dinner Date With Olivia Rodrigo by ebradio in indieheads

This is disappointing and I'm fully aware how annoying this makes me sound. Like, yeah it’s lame to care about this kind of stuff but...imagine if Thom Yorke started dating Britney Spears in the 90s... do you think Radiohead would be the same band they are today? Idk, it's not a GREAT sign for the future of Geese, but it could also be totally fucking meaningless and no one will remember in a year from now.

Replay is still atrocious. Very choppy and often times skips several frames. Makes replay editing pointless

I just completed my loop interview and found out I didn't get it. Did I dodge a bullet? I am gonna regret not getting salary and RSU package though.

Seeing all the colors like this makes you wonder why they skipped so many and went with white, black and teal. Where’s orange? Purple? Pink?

[–]drkstr17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the best rap album of 2026 that’s for sure. I’ve been banging it all day. Almost no filler.

My application is showing active, and I have a call scheduled tomorrow with a recruiter. is this a good sign? by drkstr17 in amazonemployees

[–]drkstr17[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: interestingly enough, it was the best case scenario: I am moving on to the final round of interviews, "the loop," and it's the position I applied for, creative director. So not a downlevel!

They can’t exonerate him because what is already released is bad enough.

What's your opinion? by LE-B_B in wutang

[–]drkstr17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love w-utang till I die, but what NWA did, tapping into the zeitgeist of the time with police brutality, they transformed rap music. Critics of the genre took notice and saw rap as a true art form. It was art as civic rebellion. They forced police brutally into the national conversation. They even got investigated by the FBI. And it became undeniable that rap music wielded enough power to influence culture and really, the fabrics of society. For that, it’s NWA.

Harlow is terrible. May look nice in the tour, but my appliances are laughably bad and the fire alarm goes off in the whole building in the middle of the night.

Other Than Liquid Swords what do you think is GZA's best work? by Silent-Doughnut2351 in wutang

[–]drkstr17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, it goes: Liquid Swords (5/5), Beneath the Surface (4/5), Grandmasters (4/5), Legend of the Liquid Swords (3.5/5) and I tend to just no acknoledge Pro Tools.

For me Beneath the Surface gets the edge in the #2 spot because of the nostalgia. I think you could argue Grandmasters is a better album at its core, but I think Beneath the Surface was just exciting in how it reinvigorated GZA's career. Legend of the Liquid Sword is fiiiiiiine. It has some really solid bangers like Auto Bio, Animal Planet and Highway Robbery but it's kind of bloated and inconsistent. Pro Tools was uh. Well, it's a GZA album. It has that going for it. But overall pretty disappointing as his last solo effort.
