Valora este álbum

Nothing Was the Same es un álbum de Drake, publicado en 2013 por Cash Money Records. El disco incluye 13 canciones, entre ellas «Tuscan Leather», «Furthest Thing», «Started from the Bottom» y «Wu-Tang Forever».

Introducción: consolidando el trono

"Nothing Was the Same" es el tercer álbum de estudio de Drake. Lanzado en 2013, es un trabajo más conciso, seguro y sónicamente minimalista que su expansivo predecesor, "Take Care". El álbum encuentra a Drake en la cima de su juego, reflexionando sobre su ascenso y su nuevo estatus como una de las mayores estrellas de la música. Musicalmente, el disco se divide en dos mitades sonoras: himnos de rap duros y triunfales; por otro, suaves y melódicas canciones de R&B y pop. Esta dualidad, presente en toda su carrera, aquí se presenta de la forma más pulida y equilibrada.

Origen y sonido

Con "Nothing Was the Same", Drake y su productor ejecutivo, Noah "40" Shebib, buscaron crear un sonido más limpio y directo. Se despojaron de las texturas densas de "Take Care" en favor de una producción más minimalista, con samples de soul de los años 70 y 80 y baterías contundentes. El resultado es un sonido nostálgico pero innegablemente moderno. El álbum fue aclamado por su cohesión y su eficiencia, demostrando que Drake podía transmitir la misma profundidad emocional con menos elementos.

Análisis de canciones y portada

"Started from the Bottom": El single principal es un himno generacional. Con un ritmo de piano minimalista y contagioso, la canción es una celebración de su ascenso desde unos orígenes humildes. Se convirtió en una de las frases más icónicas del hip-hop y un lema para el éxito.

"Hold On, We're Going Home": Una incursión pura en el pop y R&B de los 80, inspirada en Michael Jackson. Es una de sus canciones más aclamadas y un éxito masivo que demostró su increíble talento para la melodía pop.

Portada: El álbum es famoso por sus dos portadas, diseñadas por el artista Kadir Nelson. Una muestra un perfil de Drake de niño con un peine afro en el pelo, y la otra muestra su perfil de adulto. Juntas, las portadas simbolizan el viaje y la reflexión sobre el pasado que definen el álbum.

Resultados comerciales y críticos

"Nothing Was the Same" debutó en el número 1 en Estados Unidos y Canadá, y en el número 2 en el Reino Unido. Fue aclamado por la crítica como uno de los mejores álbumes del año, elogiado por su cohesión, su madurez y su producción impecable. Fue nominado al Grammy al Mejor Álbum de Rap y solidificó a Drake como el artista que definía el sonido y la temática del hip-hop de la década.

If you nervous, hit the lights, I know we only fucking out of spite Cause your man don't do you right, do you right I could fuck you so good then I hit you with the 9am in dallas who you like Baby who you like Machine gun raps for all my niggas in the back Stadium packed, just glad to see the city on the map I just gave the city life, it ain't about who did it first It's about who did it right, niggas looking like "preach" Open cases on me for a half a million each I find peace knowing that it's harder in the streets I know, luckily I didn't have to grow there I would only go there cause there's niggas that I know there I don't know what's getting into me I just like the rush when you see your enemy somewhere in the club And you realize he just not in a position to reciprocate your energy You ain't ever worried cause he's not who he pretends to be People like mazin who was a best friend to me Start to become a distant memory Things change in that life and this life started lacking synergy And fucking with me mentally, I think it’s meant to be Paranoid, always rolling with my mothafuckin' boys But you gotta understand when it's yours They don't really leave your ass with a mothafuckin' choice

  7. From Time

    Letra

    What's up? Been a minute since we kicked it You've been caught up with them bitches I don't get it, you're a star love You shouldn't have to deal with that I'll never make you feel like that Cause I love me, I love me enough for the both of us That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of? Darling, you, you give, but you cannot take love I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive Passive aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance I look around the peers that surround me, these niggas tripping I like when money makes a differenc, but don't make you different Started realizing a couple places I can take it I want to get back to when I was that kid in the basement I want to take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation And influence a generation that's lacking in patience I've been dealing with my dad, speaking a lack of patience Just me and my old man getting back to basics We've been talking 'bout the future and time that we wasted When he put that bottle down, girl that nigga's amazing Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas We might have rolled a white paper, just something to hold us We even talked about you and our couple of moments He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown ups You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone Looking like you came from the 70's on your own My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone? Y'all don't even know what you want from love anymore I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored But, girl, what qualities was I looking for before? Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, hah? I love me, I love me enough for the both of us That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of? Darling, you, you give, but you cannot take love Thinkin' about Texas back, when Porsche used to work at Treasures Or further back then that, before I had the Houston leverage When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my momma's debit A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it Cause that night I played her three songs Then we talked about something we disagreed on Then she started telling me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz Boy was she wrong, that was just negative energy for me to feed off Now it's therapeutic blowing money in a galleria Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria Landmarks to the muses that inspired the music When I could tell it was sincere without trying to prove it The one that I needed was Kourtney from Hooters on P Street I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment? Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn’t Remember our talk in the parking lot at the Ritz Girl I thought we had it all planned out, guess I fucked up the vision Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions When you find out how I’m living I just hope IÂ’m forgiven It seems like you don’t want this love anymore IÂ’m acting out in the open itÂ’s hard for you to ignore But girl, what qualities was I looking for before? Who you settling for, who better for you than the boy, huh? I love me, I love me enough for the both of us That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of? Darling, you, you give, but you cannot take love What's up? Been a minute since we kicked it You've been caught up with them bitches I don't get it, you're a star love You shouldn't have to deal with that I'll never make you feel like that Cause I love me, I love me enough for the both of us That's why you trust me, I know you been through more than most of us So what are you? What are you, what are you so afraid of? Darling, you, you give, but you cannot take love
