Before Scorpion even dropped, people were proclaiming Drake the G.O.A.T. As soon as the 25-track double LP was released on Friday (June 29), Twitter was immediately hard at work doubling down on those claims.
Considering the project clocks in at roughly 90 minutes, tweets praising Scorpion for its perfection were coming in before it was even possible to have heard the entire project.
With production from beat magicians like DJ Paul and DJ Premier, and guest vocals from JAY-Z, Ty Dolla $ign, and posthumous contributions from Static Major and Michael Jackson, Scorpion is gathering fire emojis faster than Dreezy replied to Pusha T’s “Infrared.”
But, there are also those who are unhappy with the length of the project and who are berating those deeming it a classic so quickly after its release.
Check out some of the negative reactions below.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
I’m too busy to listen to 12 songs t
Not to talk of 25. Unless I’m travelling for two hours and all 25 songs are fire with quality content, I may never listen to the entire album. Kudos to Drake though, he and his team are a marketing geniuses. Same as Eminem and Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice exactly what I was thinking lol.
Big KRIT’s double album is better than this.
Yeah, I agree. Drake did kinda suffer the “double album curse” here with several filler songs. 4EIAMLT was solid all the way through, and people still wanna sleep on KRIT.
KRIT IS 10X’S better than that garbage!!!
Naw hiphopdx cut it with the Bs, Don’t ever mention Goat and drake on the same page. He got crushed by Push, ran from the battle. He doesn’t write his own rhymes, he is a product of the machine, carried and super supported by the industry in the suits in hiphop. He is not hiphop at all he is one of the biggest frauds rap has ever seen
Are you that dumb? They’re saying it’s impossible.
#FACTS
Dx I hope you make drake wear a condom for all that dic— riding you doing, or else you will get pregnant and have a secret baby
Kyle Eu-seless using twitter AS USUAL for dumb comments
But he Da GOAT
Scorpion is wack af!!! Sounds like every other Drake album- no growth whatsoever… Even with just 7 songs Pusha had the better album…
A bunch of weirdos and no names (except for Carnaje, who ain’t shit) kicking this garbage. That Nas was being called album of the year by NBA players and K.Dot…
This album has some good shit on it. But anyone who is calling this a classic b4 they actually finish the album is just dick riding.
Scorpion with glitter & little sting!?
Don’t compare drake to big and pac
just by the article title alone i already knew this was Eustice, you still Lame as hell for giving Nas album a 3.8.
That Nas album was trash
you’re trash
#FACTS
DRAKE IS THE GOAT
Yes you are correct hes is the GOAT (Gayest Of All Time)
Y’all kill me with this. If cats ain’t changing up they flows they music gets stale and then you same cats be on here yapping about they need to switch up the flow. Can’t make a trashcan smile no matter how many steaks you feed it.
Mothafuckas call him GOAT before even hearing the whole album because their attention span won’t allow them to listen through the whole 90 min. Fuckin dickriders.
Drake is the COAT (Corniest Of All Time).
why is this news worthy?
looking up twitter feeds and copying and pasting
People calling this a classic and Drake the GOAT are morons. You have to live with an album or a while. It has to affect culture for it to be a classic. This came out last night.
He can’t be the greatest of all times bc the greatest of all times is still writing his story. Hov.
People said DAMN was a classic the first day as well and no one said anything, when drake fans do it people hate. All that said I do think the term “classic” is used to freely these days. Everything is a classic to this generation. I like side A better than B, it’s definitely his best or second best album so far. Unless were counting if you’re reading this…then it’s 2nd or 3rd
Lol, people did say something when others were labeling DAMN a classic first day. Where do you think all the “DAMN is overrated” comments came from?
I thought I was the only one that thought it was overrated. I honestly never heard someone else say that.
You’re probably not on the internet that much because there were lots of them.
You are just proving the stereotype. Another soft as whiney Drake fan. I like Drake but all you “this only happens to Drake” type dudes need to stop caring what other people think. They are obviously hating.. but I mean your obviously a baby. Classic is thrown around lightly and whenever it is everyone complains. It happened to Kendrick.. it happened with Cole.. and now it’s happening to Drake.
I honestly don’t know what I said wrong. So I point something it that you think is correct and I’m still wrong? I don’t understand that. How is pointing out a fact “obviously being a baby”? As for your second part; again, you’re agreeing with what I said. We need to stop calling everything a classic. Drake album is not a classic. So far i’d say it’s above average. I’d give it a B.
he sounds like he has different flows because he has ten different people writing the records u idiots hahah
GARBAGE
Let me start by saying I’m not a hater, kuz in this day and age, if you disagree with someone and have your own opinion, you’re automatically a hater. With that said, this album is average and Drake is an average artist. What makes him seem so special is the fact that 90% of the artists that come out now are garbage, so in comparison to them, he sounds like a God. With that being said, the album all in all is average and even sounds a little rushed.
Why post tweets from stans, of course they’ll say it’s the best thing ever. Get legit be critics n reviews. Daytona sounds better
Xxxtenacion or whatever his name actually sounds more creative than drake rip
Freddie Gibbs album “Freddie” is doper than this and most of the songs on it sound the same. I’m listening to independent artists like Errol Westbrook, Kuzco Da Foo, Money Man, Mi5ta, Big Flock, Juice Juwop, RJmrLa, and others
I gotta check out some of those artist you name independent hiphop quality is at a all time high right now. Check out Freeway new album is good too
just shows u how dum people are u aint heard it yet but write on twitter its a classic , bunch of dummies
Lol, these fools already saying it’s godly and the best ever. Damn son, these social media fanatic freaks are something else?
Funny how people let social media expose how stupid they really are.
Just heard the full album and it is kinda weak to be honest 2 1/2 out 5 mics. The rap side had about 2-3 tracks that were decent. That rnb side is really terrible and needs to be deleted. Drake is overrated. He is a dad by default. Drake will never be great like people make him out to be. Drake is a just a good, commercial pop rapper.
Only heard the MJ song. Boring
Drake fans are the worst in rap. They have no perspective, knowledge or credibility.
Before I say any album is a classic I will have to had listened to a at least a handful of times. I catch myself not like the songs I thought were nice after the first couple listens and vice versa likening songs I didn’t like on the first go round. A double cd classic is damn near impossible to pull off only thing that I consider a double cd classic is 2pac all eyes on me.
I agree. Drake is the GOAT. Scorpion another classic. The critics here are in denial and are stuck in an era of hiphop’s past and what they don’t understand about music is it’s much easier to make music in the vein of the tradition (in hiphop that would be Mobb Deep and Black Moon) because imitation is easier and if it’s already been invented, you aren’t pushing boundaries. Black Moon and Mobb Deep are the innovators and forged the era like Drake – not the Pusha Ts, Action Bronsons, Royce 5 9s or whatever other predictable safe lane rappers are out there . Drake started the current sound even though the haters try to claim he copies – it’s a complete joke because everyone secretly remember these same fools were dissing Drake’s sing-rap style 10 years ago or complaining about the Funk Flex Freestyle video. These guys were claiming fraud but there favorite rapper is a fake gangsta. 10 years ago hardly any rappers were singing-rapping like Drake except maybe Cudi was – now everyone does. Hardly no one was getting extremely personal about their life and non criminal – now almost everyone talks about their exes. Drake’s got an endless range of unique flows, quotables and his bars are easily up there with the best (most people on here don’t even know how to really dissect his bars because they dont understand wordplay nor know how many half-bars by their fave MCs were actually collaborated on). I grew up listening to Ghostface, Doom, Raekwon and Jay-z and none of the slew of so called current top rappers like Royce 5 9 or Cole can even come close to touching what those guys, Wu-Tang or say A Tribe Called Quest ever did. That was the best time for that brand of music..it was amazing when it came out because it sounded different and exciting. they pushed the envelope and killed it but that era is over and rappers who try to do the same sound like cheap imitators. The new artist is supposed to break the rules of the past and take risks. Just like a Black Keys can make a million songs that sound like Led Zepplin – they ain’t gonna be remembered because they aren’t as innovative. Nirvana and say The Sex Pistols broke with the traditional and suffered the consequences but they are remembered much more than say traditionalists like Huey Lewis and the News. Drake’s run will be over when haters on here actually find his music less polarizing. This will prob never happen as Drake knows the younger audience is more important than older traditionalists who can’t get past the music they grew up with. Guess what happens when the 15 years old of today become 30? They cement Drake’s status and complain how Drake was so great and how the new crop of artists are garbage In comparison. It’s just a cycle …admit it you got old and boring like your parents
This album is Incredibky weak. There is NOT 1 fire song on this album. It drags the entire 90 minutes. I think after the song with Jay-Z, there are like 4 straight songs of him singing. Skip, Skip, Skip, Skip.
Saying No Talent Drake is the GOAT tells you everything you need to know about the current state of music.
