Personally outgrew this kind of thinking you're doing here. In my opinion, Drake has way more good songs than Kendrick. It is what it is. Kendrick makes better albums, but how many times do I put those songs on? Drake on the other hand always delivers bangers that you can just put on (and are also quality songs).
Honestly, Nevermind was so bad that it got Sean Cee questioning all his opinions in his life 😭😭 Bro's going to start trying foods he's hated in the past too
The only good song is falling back in the second half of calling my name liabilities and Jimmy Cook but there are song that I still slap from early 2000s in 2010s that that one future album that he came out in 2017 is the hardest
Damn Shawn just cracked the code. The reason Drake’s projects seems to get better over time Is because each one Is a little worse than the previous one. So It makes you go back and kinda appreciate that previous project. It didn’t actually get better, but the next one was just worse. The last project o thoroughly enjoyed on release was “If You’re Reading This…” After that’s his projects have gotten progressively worse, with just a few to a handful of solid songs on each one.
Drake playing 4D chess with everyone. Man gaslit us all into thinking he has had good albums since 2014 (I say that because everything since Views has been ass as albums. Some great tracks but no good albums)
As someone who listened to Life of a Don at least 100 times, I still understand where you’re coming from. Compared to Heaven or Hell he sounds very laid back and less animated in a way. I still love both albums tho.
Thank you bro. The WIZRD slander on the OG reaction was crazy cus that’s a top 3 Future project for me. Also glad you really feeling Without Warning now, it’s nothing but hits.
WIZRD isn’t quite top 3 Future for me but ong it’s a great album and hopefully his opinion changed on it too cuz I hated it at first before realizing how good the album really is Edit: I just watched the vid and good on Shawn for admitting WIZRD is a classic … Also Without Warning, love that album too I like every song besides Still Serving on it
The timeline of Shawn recognizing samples in MF DOOM first reactions to saying the new Future is his album of the year so far, to now saying CLB was alright because he doesn't like Honestly Nevermind, while also saying he likes Passion Fruit now is crazy. 💀Like we all change our minds about music throughout our life, but like 💀
The WZRD was future's first album I've heard, I've listened to his whole discography since then, yes, including DS2, and it's still my favorite album of his. I was so surprised by your negative reaction to it but glad to see you finally understand it. The hook you mentioned in the video is from Stick to the Models and I gotta say this one is easily my favorite Future track.
@ how is it racist of him to acknowledge when drake drops a shitty album? Especially considering he liked previous projects. Can’t critique anybody without being called racist
Brent Fayiaz again doing the same thing with dropping the half the album way before the drop date. Gravity and Wasting Time been out since literally July of 2021. But I’m pumped for this so hard. Those are still amazing tracks and Dead Man Walking and the new one Price of Fame are FLAMES
Half the album? He’s still dropping like 15 new songs which is more than a lot of albums u obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Quality > quantity
Yeah I wish people would stop shitting on KoL. However, as other people have remarked, it is still in the ‘bottom’ section of their discography. And yes, it is because they just have a flawless catalogue.
The Wizrd was the album that really got me into Future so hearing your initial thoughts on it really surprised me at the time, and if anything, made me bump it harder. Very happy to see you've come round to it
I feel like as music fans or fans of a particular artists we all have these moments. Example: Logic’s Everybody on my first few listens I thought it was an album of the year contender. But as time passed and I listened to more music, I don’t even go back to the album like that. We all change as we grow. Opinions change too.
I used to be a huge fan of Logic so naturally I went crazy for Everybody at first but the more I listened to it the more I genuinely hated it lol I cannot stand what he tried to do with that gd album
as fantano said, "i might go back to CLB because after listening Drake's new album, i might like CLB more now" it's still bad but shit, if only we knew what was coming after it
i don’t even think clb is bad, the problem is that it sounded a little too familiar. i probably wouldn’t even be upset if the album title was VIEWS 2 instead of CLB
nah bro drake is just acting like there's something more to it, it's an album not an analysis project, if ppl don't like ur album, accept that, stop trying to force that the album is good on them, let them have their opinions which may or may not be different from urs.
@@aaryansharma0602 right! It's called manipulation and people wanting to fit in with the crowd, lmao I actually loved passionfruit the moment I heard it wayyy back it wasn't as repetitive as honestly nevermind tracks
@@aaryansharma0602 he’s not forcing you bro, if you don’t fw the music then you don’t fw it AT THE MOMENT. who knows if you can come back to it later and like it?
Drake was right when he said that the fans just have to let come to them eventually… Drake Fans will eventually find out that this is his worse album - never mind the switch up of genres. We need IYRTITL Drake (Prime Drake) back man
Although I loved that era of Drake I think he just needs to create something totally new but with that same energy and drive he had back then. He doesn't try anymore and thats my issue.
@@808NASTY I feel you my guy. I just wish there could be a day where I can finally stop lookin like a hater because his recent albums aren’t good. I want to like Drake but the lack of good music bro hurts his chances
@@808NASTY trying is hard and why try when your fans will eat it up anyways. It doesn't matter, and Drake knows that. Why make an album on the level of Mr. Morale when you can fart out a Honestly, Nevermind and will still make millions? Like why try? I have to imagine that Drake checked out long ago, and now he's just doing this to get paid.
I ain’t gonna lie, Joey’s 2000 has potential for album of the year. If it’s on par with any of his past works, it’s looking like the best shit to drop this year. Hopefully he actually drops next month.
Liability is super slept on just cause it's slowed, he was really spitting on that track especially the second verse. If it was at a normal tempo, it would be highly regarded with Not You Too and other tracks like that.
The only people saying this album isn’t good are Americans…my homies in the UK are loving this shit and honestly if u just sit back and vibe out instead of trying to study lyrics you’ll fw it too 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@AdolphSaxOfficial this album is dance music….nobody who actually likes it is playing it in the background. I’ve already heard 2 songs from the album in my local clubs. Those songs aren’t top 10 on billboards for nothing😂😂
The WZRD was so underrated. One of my favorite projects from 2019 and one of the few I still bump from that year. It’s his best since DS2. A good Future song from that year was Ammo & Juice.
@@willgoodwin9867 Nahhhh current future is lazy af and has the most mid production I’ve ever heard, they’re all perfectly made beats that don’t have shit standing out, forgettable
Tie that Binds and Liability are really experimental and solid Drake tracks. Incredible lyrics, the album has really grown on me since the first listen. This album is perfect for summer time
@@Mxxx1x xxxtentacion wasnt the first to do chopped and screwed. thats what slowed and reverbed is. just say you dont know anything about houston’s impact on hip hop and how drake used inspiration from it
I really like your perspective on music in general! Its funny how our ears can change when we listen to something and over time how our brains can change and we may like something more or less as time goes forward. And also I think of saying “there’s good music and then there’s other music’” Music is so subjective that there are fans of every type of music, and someone is definitely saying that this is Drake’s best album. Which is funny to think about but its probably true!
Good Evening, "Certified Lover Boy/Honestly, Nevermind" was a 24 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
Idk what happening but Honestly Nevermind is heat to me. It’s not a rap album so maybe I’m not comparing it to other drake tracks, but I like it. So far every time I’ve been out and it plays at a party or club, the whole crowd loves it. Drake is still around bc he can switch it up. This is just one part of everything this man has done. I think it’s dope, ppl just need to let go of what they think it should be.
This Future album really satisfied everything than I wanted from him. For a Nut and Keep It Burnin, are my throw away tracks, and I’m On One was a lazy Drake feature in my opinion. He also coulda kept the deluxe. But it wasn’t overloaded with features and he got into all of his bags, like giving us Wait for You and Love You Better back to back then following it up with 3 bangers in a row with Massaging Me, Chickens, and We Just Wanna Get High. Honestly one his his craziest run of tracks ever in my option. I can genuinely say the majority of the album has not left my rotation since it dropped. I feel about just as pleased as when High Off Life came out and I loved that album. Also great seeing him show The Wizrd some love, it was one that had to grow on me as well, Never Stop is S tier Pluto. Please do a Future album ranking video Shawn! (DS2 is his best album, I refuse to hear any other argument! 😂)
Man someday people will come back around on life of a Don… one of the best albums of last year to me, no album has ever so perfectly captured that late night vibe
Yeah… whole lotta red is just such an iconic album. It was hated at first and now everyone has caught up to what Carti took a gamble on… I also was skeptical about the strained voice, but now I just think it’s so necessary and natural just like how cartis baby voice came to be z
Am I the only one who likes this Drake album? It serves its purpose, it's a summer album. This album is straight summer night out vibes, whether it's a party/club/cookout etc. I don't think this album was meant to be taken as seriously as some of y'all are taking it. Chill out, drink some liquor, vibe with a group of friends/girls/whoever, stop taking life so seriously
More Life was meant to be that way aswell and that one was really good (my 2nd fav Drake project after Nothing Was The Same). This one is not my style of music, only liked Jimmy Cooks.
Bro I’m screaminggggg I was also FULLY CONVINCED “Honestly, Nevermind” was gonna be exposed as a social experiment! Like maybe “How much money and attention can I get just for being Drake?” What sold it for me is when J Cole posted that the album was “phenomenal” ??? Like Jermaine… I know you better than that. You in on the joke too huh?
@@romaretaylor9953 noooo it’s not cuz it’s not hip hop. 😭 I KNOW the best artists and people in general listen to very diverse music. I personally listen to and love music from many different genres, hip hip, r&b, soul, pop, rock, alternative, country, blues, singer/songwriter, symphonic, etc. And I expect that both J Cole and Drake listen to all that and more. And if either of them made music from any of those genres I would listen and expect it to be GOOD! But you’ve GOT to admit there’s a reason that so many people find “Honestly, Nevermind” to just sound unpleasant to the ears. Apparently many people do genuinely love it so I gotta take back what I said but I truly thought those people would be VERY few and far between.
@@romaretaylor9953 side note, Shawn Cee listens to aaaallll kinds like of music, including stuff I’m not personally too crazy about, and he still just didn’t like this. (Reference his video about his favorite albums of the year)
huge respect to shawn for having the courage to admit he's grown from an initial reaction. most music reviewers are completely unable to do that, they feel like the one opinion they had on a project is the correct one and block themselves from letting grow on them even tho good music often does. a lot of albums need to be lived with and listened to in different context and the reviewing zeitgeist runs completely opposite to that reality. now all there is left to do for shawn is to get a legal buzz and go for a drive at night listening to honestly, nevermind
5:36 thanks, I have felt this way about don toliver's new album since its dropped. I think at first I really wanted to like it bc I saw a lot of potential in him after listening to his heaven or hell album, which was full of hits, but only after a new weeks of the project being out I just didn't like it anymore. Like I am not lying when I say I haven't listened to this album since November 2021.
Facts bro I thought this album was actually his best from the last 2, the vibe of this album was not meant to be taken seriously like those two and I enjoy it for that
This is another Shawn Cee banger video. And I hope he does more videos like this where he changed his mind on albums or music artists and I hope that he returns to the “IS PERFECT” series. The album that was biggest upgrade for me was The Life of Pablo where I thought was ok, but upon re listen, it’s now my fourth favorite Kanye West album (below MBDTF, Gradution and 808s & Heartbreak) and also upon relisten (speaking of Kanye) I appreciated The College Dropout and Yeezus more than I first thought.
You gotta live with music before just tryna critique things, that band wagon gets heavy until it stops moving. Sometimes you gotta just walk for yourself.
Those sentements about Futures records are factual. I had the same thing happen to me. When I first listened to his stuff (like everyone else generally) I had some sort of preconceived notion about how his stuff would sound based on knowing he's famous and that tends to give everyone a certain expectation Verse reality situation and I think that's what happened for me with futures stuff. I was obsessed with his stuff when I first discovered him but I didn't like the wizard or any of his newer stuff or even ds2 until a bit later and now It's like almost a religious experience listening to his stuff. I was the same way with Drain gang except there stuff is a lot more acquired and open minded to enjoy but once you unlock that chain their stuff is the most beautiful music you will ever hear in your life.
Future went off on the WZRD, he put his heart and soul into it with proper introspection. I never liked you seemed like he was just fulfilling a release obligation. It was cool, but nothing to rant or rave about, and very forgettable.
The thing about Don toliver is that tell true relatable stories in his music he’s just very good sound but that true story and relatable things matter in music now.
I'm not gonna lie...my tweet about wanting to punch my computer was very much an accurate depiction of how I felt about the album. I just wasn't expecting runway/H&M shopping music from Drake??? Like it just isn't done well. and I like house music. but goddamn that Drake album was bad.
im just glad you admitted you be wrong because as a viewer, it has become difficult regarding your opinion as valid because of 12 o’clock listens when music first drops
A lot of people may give you shit for what you say man, and I'm not going to lie, I personally have disagreed with a lot of the things you've said and implied. Nonetheless you have my deep respect. It takes a big person to admit when they're wrong, regardless of the era you live in.
*This album is laced with bangers that are played at functions* like parties and when you need to calm down the rampaging Special Needs student who’s having a tantrum.. but it just makes him more angry.
You really one of them people that like giving negative feedback about people’s wokr while they still making millions lol keep it up you’ll get to there spot 🔜
It is crazy to see that this is the same man who made if your reading this its too late, and take care. I feel like with each new album he makes everyone shits on it and looks at the previous album and says it wasnt that bad.
Your lens of analysis always compares an artists new music to their old works. Whilst this is a form of analysing music, it does have its drawback. One being that it’s easy to totally miss the nuances of new bodies of work. Spend more time appreciating new bodies of work exclusively.
I think one of the reasons that Shawn may not be returning to Don Toliver’s project is because there are just far too many releases these days. Different music speaks to different moods and while you might be in the mood to hear a song, you may not be in the mood to hear the whole album. But that doesn’t make it less good. I might revisit Kendrick’s TPAB just to listen to ‘You Ain’t Gotta Lie’, ‘For Sale?’ and move on lol
