hey, that's my backyard, stay off my lawn! crazy kids...
That's from the 2014 album. That's not the one I'm talking about, but it's pretty dope. I'm talking about God's Hands.

Then what is Des referring to? I'm so confused haha
edit: it all makes sense now lol thanks
it leaked.
I swear around this time last year Eric Dingus was just a lonely kid throwing up remixes and his own tracks on his SoundCloud. It's mind blowing that he's pretty much in the OVO pool of producers now. If he has a production credit on Views from the 6
holy fuck. The bridge between up and coming SoundCloud producers and mainstream artists is shortening. I'm half expecting Bones to be on some Drake remix that Dingus does pretty soon. The degrees of separation between the two are not far off at all.

The production on Drake's mixtape is fantastic. His most cohesive production work yet.
But NGL some of the songs are kinda weak and it's definitely bloated. Good thing it's not the main album, otherwise I'd rank it as his worst.
My faves on the first listen is "You and the 6" and "Preach"

Eh. By cohesive I mean consistent. Let's not get too into it.
About to start my second listen!
BTW happy birthday to HiResDes, one of the GOAT posters and one of the few OG's left alive. Gotta thank him for always holding us down on the bandcamp stuff, having an open minded musical worldview, and for sticking to his guns; both his worldview and his 'musical ideals'.

Reminds me of something I wanted to mention. It's dope seeing rappers treat production like an arms race. The days of relying on dated soul sample beats of middling quality are over. There's so much dope shit out there, and so readily available, that rappers really have no excuse not to have good production.
And this also allows artists to build production teams. Take a 20 year old kid from the suburbs or projects, give him access to a real studio and instruments, and let him cook for you; let him develop as an artist and transition from a beat maker to a producer. I won't say Hov created that blueprint but when I think of great production teams I tend to think of his first. Baseline Studios, Just Blaze, Kanye, The Heatmakerz, etc. It's an arms race. Who is going to get the best sound, the best beats, the best song writers, etc.
This is something a lot of trapped in the 90s dudes don't understand. Including Nas. There's so much dope shit out there, from soundcloud to more established new producers...there's no excuse for wack shit breh. I think about all the RZA imitators in France right now, and Ghost/Rae will never hear their beats because they'd rather call up Akbar from 125th who has a homie who makes soul loops for $100. Fuckouttahere...

Wonder if/when we'll see confirmation that this tape/album frees Drake from YM/CM
edit: what is up with Drake's obsession with popcaan though? I'm hearing more of that illiterate mofo now than when I lived in Jamaica.
edit2: Drake tape is up on Spotify

Good post PD. It's sad living in a timeline where Rick Ross has a better ear for beats than Nas
and yet...
I think urban culture in Canada is heavily influenced by Jamaican / West Indian culture similar to the UK.

Is it that surprising? It's an album, and Drake is the biggest rapper right now. Of course people bought it.

such samey production on this drake, even for a project of gathered one-offs designed to get him out of a contract.
10 Bands->know yourself->No Tellin, 6 Man->now & forever good combos. Especially that first run. company's maybe the most interesting instrumental on here and has garbage from la flame over it. you & the 6 is still pretty good, star67 is alight too. rest is bad to forgettable
