In comparison to the R'n'B elite, his vocal skills are below average. For these artits, there is still a way to make a good song: The lyrics need to be at least listenable and most credits go to the production. For all singing songs on TML, this was the case. What I mean is, for example, the infectious drum pattern on Find Your Love is quite the only reason for it's appealness. I've seen covers on youtube, even from Ahmir, who i really appreciate for their work, but the song's magic was gone. Props to Kanye, anyway. If the productions stay on a high level like this, the mixtape will be enjoyable i suppose. Appreciate this comment coming from a reader, whose mp3-player contains about 90percent RnB-music only. Side note: I recently found my interest in the technical points of hip-hop, like rhyme schemes, wordplay, stylistic devices and so on. RefinedHype and DjBooth supported this movement a lot, so props to you all. Being a white boy from germany and saying this, should be able to make you feel proud about yourself and your work Nathan =D |

I liked both of the new tracks, Messages For You being my favorite. The all-R&B mixtape should be an interesting listen, and is sure to keep the ladies interested. although a new rapping mixtape would be nice too. @matza: agreed, and with Nathan also--in comparison to good full-time R&B singers, Drake isn't very good; at the same time in terms of rappers who also sing, Drake is one of the best. I didn't always like his singing on TML but i thought on So Far Gone (e.g. Brand New, Bria's interlude) it was more enjoyable. |

@matza & jaydee - appreciate the props, and I think it all comes down to how much you want to credit the man - is it ok to be the best of a bad bunch (rappers who try to sing), or do you subtract points for being one of the worst of a good bunch (actual singers)? |
