As my fellow Binge Watcher members still continue to express their thoughts and admiration for the love of movies and tv shows, I am here again today to express my thoughts and admiration for the love of music (rap music to be exact). Today I will be giving my thoughts Drakes most recent album ‘Scorpion’. Drake is a Canadian native who used to play in a Canadian tv series in the early 2000s before leaving the show and started pursuing a career in music in 2007. Soon after pursuing a music career, Drake dropped his debut mixtape ‘Room for improvement”. Since then Drake has sky rocketed as music artist with his all of his 5 studio albums going platinum on the RIAA chart with his 3rdstudio album ‘Take Care’ going quadruple platinum. 

Drake is known for his two unique sides of music from having hit singles under the R&B and pop genre or the Hip Hop, rap genre such as his most popular song ever known as ‘Gods plan’ (I’m sure every single person on earth has heard this song!) as it was released and featured on his most recent album Scorpion going 8 times platinum !!. Now, time to share my thoughts on the album. Scorpion was one of the most anticipated albums of the 2018 year for rap music, as Drake never seems to disappoint his fans and the community, however majority of the community including myself was disappointed in what we were presented with. The album consists of two parts, part 1 being a more R&B, pop style of music while part 2 was hip hop and rap. For me the album was too slow as each song was mainly focusing on Drake expressing himself and the problems he’s faced like his recent relationships. As a fan of Drakes music since 2011 since his Take Care album he’s definitely released better music to the community such as his 2016 album More Life which was personally one of my favorite albums as it consisted of hard beat rap songs with features from many of my other favorite rappers such as Travis Scott and Quavo. 

Although the part 2 side of the album was classified as rap, I still found that the album and the songs put on it were too slow for my liking as I prefer a faster upbeat pace in song with an aggressive style rap. However, there were some songs on the album that displayed this such as Nice for What which is definitely my favorite song on the album 

Overall, I would give the album a 5/10 as majority of the songs were not to my liking and can’t wait to see what he has in store for us this coming year. Jake

                                                    Tom Ellis AKA Lucifer Morningstar Now let me introduce you to one more of my favorite series on Netflix. Yes, its Lucifer. how many of you have watched it? Did you like it or hate it? Lucifer is a Netflix Original urban fantasy series that previously aired on the FOX network.

Travis Scotts album 'Astroworld'

                          Album: Travis Scott "Astroworld" — ILLUSTR3US MUSIC GROUP As a huge fan of modern-day rap music, I am proud to bring you a review on what might be one of my favourite blog posts I’ll do as I’ll be reviewing and expressing my thoughts and opinions on my favourite rap artist Travis Scott’s 3 rd  studio album ‘Astroworld’. As Travis’s 3 rd  produced album it is inarguably his strongest music he has produced. His skills as an artist helps forms a tacky, humid, psychedelic world with dazzling production and unexpected twists at every turn. After announcing that the album was in production back in 2016, Travis has left his large and growing fan base on edge since then, when the 3 rd of August 2018 finally arrived, the rap community was prepared for one of his best albums to be released (and possibly the best rap album ever! In my opinion….) Many rap gurus don’t respect the way Travis ...
