You're Too Stupid for the New Drake Album 

the concept of being too dumb for a drake album is wild

It’s so ironic how drake fans who never listen to this style of music are telling other people they don’t understand the genre 🤣

“When Millie turned 18 I said honestly, nevermind” - Drake

People kept telling eachother "this song will grow on you" to the point where some believe any garbage can be enjoyed after giving it time & multiple listens (and it actually works, brain starts to lower standards so it can enjoy shit).

drake's definitely the type to say "my goodness"

went on a “drake n drive” and can confirm did NOT end up at my ex’s house, instead ended up into a tree because i fell asleep listening to his new album

Drake is actually genius. He made an entire album with ambient songs so people can use as background sound on twitch.

I think Drake truly believes he pulled off a 808s & Heartbreak

theres always an excuse with drake albums, "this is a dance album you wont get it yet" "this is a playlist dont take it too serious" "heres a demo tape these are songs i didnt try on at all"

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Honestly, Nevermind. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the punchlines will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Drake's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they're not just lit- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Honestly, Nevermind truly ARE idiots. of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Drake's existencial catchphrase "Your pussy is callin' my name, So come on, baby, let's stop playing games" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Drake's genius unfolds itself on their headphones. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Honestly, Nevermind tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Gotta hand it to Drake for making dance music that no one would dance to. That’s not easy to pull off but drake makes it look flawless

Anecdote of my own: When listening to this Drake album for the first time I FORGOT IT WAS ON and started playing a Nardo Wick song on my phone at the same time

you need a 4.1 GPA to truely understand a genius album like Drake’s Honestly Nevermind

It's a great album to put on in the background while you scroll through your streaming app of choice to find something you actually want to listen to.

5 weeks until Nav drops a house influenced EP, calling it now

That We Cry Together needs to be a full project. I haven’t laughed that hard at 3 seconds in a minute

If there was a musician whose music I would say just about anyone and everyone could understand easily, it would be Drake. Its like the one thing you can't take away from him.

This is what Illmatic was trying to achieve, genuinely changed my life.

I love the "we cry together" bit there in the beginning. Shows that you've also seen the "we cry together" meme with Olivier Tree

Vince Staples Big Fish Theory is a heavily underrated and slept on album that does what Drake wanted so much better

I had a friend tell me that “I just don’t like house music” when I said I didn’t like the album, the arguments people make are crazy

If I'm this stupid for drake I don't know if my brain is large enough for nav

Okay, that edit with We Cry Together over your argument with that drake stan had me dead XD

drake fully formed into the music you hear when you at the store tryna get milk

Ok but then imagine how extraordinarily incompetent I'm going to be for the new Nav album

Drake the type of Certified Boy Lover who drop a trash album and then say "you don't get it it's too smart for you"

You need a Harvard PhD in Aerospace engineering for you to fully understand the brilliance of "I gave you a Mercedes and you still weren't driven" my guy. Drake is another stratosphere when it comes to making music he's just way WAYYY above our level of intelligence.

🤣🤣🤣 putting a clip of the argument with the drake stan on the we cry together beat was a great addition to this!

"I hope you are doing well" I passed my uni finals 20 hours ago and now I'm tripping balls in a countryside at 8:17 am watching Fantano for some reason. I guess i really am doing well.

Honestly, Nevermind is a dense, but fluid and elegant depection of a man in crisis, forced to introspect during a turbulent period of his life. Truthfully, most people won't be able to grasp the sheer complexity of this masterpiece, it's intricate lyricism ("Girl, your pussy is calling my name" might just be one of the most fascinating, mind-blowing lyrics ever written), it's production, which doesn't get repetitive and stale by the second half at all and the many flows Drake employs give it a sense of urgency and beauty rarely found elsewhere. Drake really is in top form for this outing. Rap fans are simply missing the point. Like when he says "You know how sticky it get", he is ofc ruminating on the utter disarray plaguing the global economy post-2020 and when he said "Pigeonhole ? I'm a night-owl, it's a different mode" is OBVIOUSLY a reference to climate change.. Like come on guys, This is Drake! He's the deepest, most authentic and most orginal artist of our age, Calling this album a scattershot, lethargic, hastily-put-together and repetitive piece of shit is just TOTALLY NOT TRUE. 🙂 I love this album. I can't wait to shop for overpriced sweathshirts and jeans while this blares in the background. This album sounds exactly like how 2022 has been so far. Thanks, Aubrey. You never fail to entertain us.

That's one of the things I don't get about Drake fans when this came out. They were calling the album "experimental" and acting as if that alone should give it enough merit, credible, and respect to not be shit on. However Drakes experimentation with house music is very lukewarm, bland, boring, risk-free, and basic. It is not exciting and overall pretty fucking flavorless. If this is considered good house music to somebody, chances are they do not listen to house music, or at least do listen to house music ENOUGH to know what is good and what is not. Which is pretty ironic because these are the same fans who were saying that if you do not like the album you don't listen to house music lol.

Drake is so innovative! Never before have I listened to an undancable dance album.

I'm sick and tired of this disrespect, melon. Subscribed.

this new album was too deep for me.

Drakes music is what you have to listen to until you level up your hearing stat beyond 1

The "We Cry Together" sprinkle was gold. "We waiting for yall to catch up"....from someone who can't catch up to Kendrick. That's aight Drake. We still luh you.

Thanks for the recommendation to "Wake n Drake" Anthony. Now I can see clearly that I "just never understood house" and that I "just wanted a rap album" so now it's a NOT BAD for Honestly, Nevermind.

Melon including the "we cry together" sample behind him and the Stan arguing is pure comedy

i died at the clip with you and the stan with the kendrick beat 😭😭😭😭🤣

Honestly Me and the wifey took a nap yesterday and I wanted to play something that would be mellow enough to sleep to, Played this album and we slept like babies for real. Thank Drizzy I think I get it now!

He’s right about 1 thing.. I won’t get this album… Because it’s impossible to understand it. Because it’s absolutely terrible and I don’t wanna hear it ever again. It’s Drakes worst album ever made. Also it’s clear that he doesn’t care about the quality of music and he just wants to drop what he wants🤷‍♂️ so Honestly, Nevermind

I think he’s throwing shade at ‘the hood’ basically insinuating that they’re not well-traveled or cultured enough to appreciate the album so they’re cracking jokes online.

Trying to understand this album is more difficult than reading Ulysses by moonlight.

One of the few times where I'm 100% okay with being called an idiot.

"If you only listen to rap, then you won't like this album" is honestly one of the worst claims to make for this Drake LP because there are people out there who are versatile with their taste in music and they just don't like this album at all... Fantano being an example as he just doesn't listen to rap music, he listens to other types of genres. It's his job, sure, but I'm sure he loves it. I will say that the album is lowkey a vibe with the production but it's nothing mind blowing.

“Its all good if you don’t get it yet,” So if we deeply analyze the lyrics on this album, it is at most decent 5 to strong 5. Come on Melon! Redo the review!

you really see the visionary next level musical genius when you contemplate the squeaky bed sample. its really the decadent chefs kiss 🤌

This album has its own Syllabus and class schedule

Fantano da 🐐 no 🧢

You can totally see Melons blood boiling at 0:40 from Drake's stupid mentality

No albums name has ever perfectly matched my feelings toward it like this Drake album

You need to have +1 point to your existence in order to understand Drake's Genius ok?

This isn’t house music, it’s “home” music

I don’t have a problem with people who like the album because it’s whatever. It’s something to listen to. I don’t care for people who try to convince others that this is the best shit ever and “I just don’t get it”. Those people are desperately trying to convince themselves that this is good.

The best that can come out of this album is that more artists will try some new genres which is good.

man you just know Drake gotta be in here leaving angry comments with his burner account 😂

You just wouldn’t understand

His early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Certified Lover Boy came out in '21, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Kanye West, but I think Drake has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '22, Drake released this; Honestly, Nevermind, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "Calling My Name". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the man himself.

Omg the edit of Anthony and Los over the we cry together beat is amamzing. I need more

Need more storytime with Melon, loved it ! Could listen to you tell a story all day

I feel like there's a time and place for music like this, it's a great thing to put on in a lounge or trendy restaurant or gaudy hotel

Normalize putting “We Cry Together” over two people screaming at each other

I love that fantano knows about his and pollos tv’s cry together remix

Even as an EDM fan, I think the not good score is very well deserved. I like to think of the album as what an AI thinks house music sounds like

That We Cry Together reference in the beginning got me fucked up 😂😂😂

"and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad" - Drake

I love that the beat to We Cry Together is the soundtrack to every argument now

It was so fitting to hear one of the songs from the album at an Old Navy

Drake is turning into Eminem: once culturally relevant, now just cringe.

Wow that Kendrink skit is everything right now 😂😂

this album was fun a couple songs I ain't like at first but now they keep playing in my head

Gotta say, this shit might be too deep for me. I took Los's advice and listened to it outside in the dark at 1am while I was thinking about things and all I could think about was how bored I was.

Fantano: Drake is in a very dark club. Me: Drake is in a very dark place. Poor Drake.

The fact that he can act like he's ahead of the curve when every time he delves into a new genre the results literally just become the "we have [insert genre name] at home" version of said genre.

Drake the typa fella to use Joker quotes like “ you wouldn’t get it “ to describe his H&M/ Abercrombie music

4:25 I think the phrase you’re looking for is “we live in a society”

I just finished my Master's degree in economics, sadly it wasn't enough to understand this masterpiece... 😭

This is literally the dumbest defense for people not liking an album one could possibly make. Just because he "switched styles" doesn't mean he's somehow any harder to get and any less shallow then he's been for the past 5+ years now

It's going to be interesting seeing how he does with the next couple of albums.

The ole “no you just have to get it”

The only thing that I can’t get, and I mean that in the most honest and sincere way, but… I can’t understand the hype, the enthusiasm, the sheer panic surrounding Drake. I legit cannot understand how he became such a cultural powerhouse that create ripple effects, as you mentioned. What has led him there? He may have had a couple of highlight single here and there, but he has consistently been making background/wallpaper music for the last decade. I don’t hate the guy, I just fail to see how it has brought him there. Can someone explain to me, and I mean that in the most honest way.

This isn't even a demo tape level, this is an album full of stock music. This album just needs to get a Creative Commons License and only then will YT add it to their studio music library.

That quiet, reverbed "Aubreyyy" at 0:56 😂

Full version of the We Cry Together interlude now

His early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Honestly, Nevermind came out in '22, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Kanye West, but I think Drake has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

He really thinks this is his 808s moment lol

A little bit of this album reminds me of the old Drake from like early 2010s 🤷🏻‍♂️

When people started talking about this Drank album being house infused Fade was the first song that came to my mind and listening to the two you see just hoe much Kanye understands house music more than Drank (coming from Chicago probably helps)

This is a very great album to fall asleep to. Unmatched levels of mid.

im glad he did something different but the mastering and lyrics could've been better. performance is important and the instrumental is important which he done both good

The Jersey track with the bed squeak running for the full duration made me a changed man

Not We Cry Together in the background at 0:20 lmfao

"Honestly, Nevermind. Forever." Yeah, that's about where I am with Drake at this point.

Ayo anthony you need to do more homemade vegan recipe videos🔥 I miss those 😢

I read that article title as “it’s good, if you don’t understand it” and that made more sense

“Is it too deep for you?” It’s depth is comparable to a puddle (not even a puddle, it’s more the like the water in between the cracks on a pavement).

I think that what’s making this hard is that we’ve heard rap artists do House… better 😂😂😂 like Goldlink and Kaytranada back in 2015 were at the top of their game doing much better sonically and lyrically better stuff than Drake. It’s the half assed attempt at current House trends and then the pretentiousness of his fan base that makes this a hard listen.

I was not feeling it when I first listened, but it grew on me. I'm certain they used some weird algorithm to get the album to ESPECIALLY stick in your head. I've grown to really like it.

Damn I never thought I’d go back to school but I guess now I have to to listen to this album.

That story is a great metaphor for the difference in culture between the late 90s/2000s and the decades following.
