Buzzfeed: Drake: "Nothing Was The Same"

While scanning the daily posts, likes, and comments on Facebook today, a girl provided a link for a Buzzfeed article discussing Drake's new (leaked) album. Normally, I dismiss Buzzfeed altogether. From the time I have spent on it, I find it does not provide articles and opinion pieces which have been written with any effort, really. Mainly, the site consists of celebrity gossip and endless galleries of GIFs and images of collected sorts and themes. It is a site I seek when I feel like using little to no brain power.



Anyhow, today I was gladly surprised with Buzzfeed. The blog posted is called, Drake's New Album Resonates Because We're All Emotional Wrecks. Immediately I was sceptical because 1) I'm not a huge fan of Drake to begin with 2) It is overly presumptuous to assume we're all "emotional wrecks" 3) Who are the "we" mentioned? and 4) Buzzfeed wouldn't produce any written work of substantial quality, right?



Wrong.

While I read this blog post, I found myself increasingly pleased with the stylistic prose and directive rhetoric woven throughout it. It was eloquent, succinct, provocative, and informative. It sparked my curiosity long enough to keep me engaged until the completion of the post.

Perhaps I don't delve further enough into the site to find more pieces written like this one, however, at least to me, Buzzfeed does not sell itself as a site which promotes quality and reputable written work.

Apologies to those who feel quite the contrary. But enough from me, read this:

Cheers!
