Extended Play

[edit]

Resolved

Since this isn't an album, this classifies as an Extended Play (EP). What the hell is a "playlist" anyway? No one uses that term to describe records! --Bobtinin (talk) 04:57, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about this "resolved" tag; it seems like the issue is still there. The playlist article doesn't describe anything like this release. Therefore I don't think it meets Wikipedia's criteria for a playlist, even if it meets Drake's. I suggest removing all references to "playlist" unless it's quoting Drake or the title... or perhaps the playlist article should be edited to include this sort of thing, if a good source for that can be found.-Teiladnam (talk) 14:23, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Most sources describe it as a playlist. Has anybody found it available to purchase? If that is the case, it appears to be more like a mixtape. But at this rate we need to wait for the reviews to appear, before we can make a definite call on that one. Karst (talk) 15:05, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Available on iTunes. Definitely a mixtape. It's ridiculous to call this a "playlist" just because Drake is calling it as such. A "playlist" would normally have multiple artists having solo tracks. This was the rumor before More Life dropped, but in the end, only Sampha and Skepta got tracks to themselves. 20 out of the 22 tracks are Drake's, so it'd better fit as a mixtape. Aria1561 (talk) 15:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Then yes, I would agree, it should be described as a mixtape. However, we need the sources that confirm this. Hence the mention of reviews. Karst (talk) 23:01, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Karst: and @Aria1561: But the sources called it a playlist instead an album, if it supported by reliable sources should it stay as a playlist? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 02:39, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Compilation album vs. playlist

[edit]

What's the difference between the two? Could there please be some clarification.

Good question, never seen the term "playlist" used. --Bobtinin (talk) 05:09, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I love drake, but he made this shit up. This is a compilation album and should be stated as such.

This is a playlist. Clearly stated by Drake himself and by all the samples. Plus a comp and a playlist are essentially the same thing. Truther1515 (talk) 22:34, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

[edit]

I propose the genre of More Life be written as: Hip Hop, R&B, Dancehall on the infobox. These are the three main genres contained in More Life, as was the case with Views SomewhereInLondon (talk) 14:56, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The cited source does not support your proposal. Rather, it says that the album contains songs showcasing a wide variety of genres, but it does not say that the album has an overall genre. Binksternet (talk) 21:32, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Binksternet: Do these sources [1] [2] [3] [4] help classified being a hip hop, R&B, dancehall and Afrobeat project. I did read these sources but I like to hear a second opinion of this. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 21:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the cited sources do help it being classified as a hip hop, R&B, dancehall and Afrobeat project. Their is a general consensus I feel that while a variety of genres have been used in More Life, those 4 genres have featured as a thread throughout the whole project. SomewhereInLondon (talk) 11:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @Cornerstonepicker: in to this discussion, if you see this, please response your opinion about these sources are reliable enough for the genres of the playlist or mixtape. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 07:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The listed sources generally agree on R&B/Hip-hop but they don't all say dancehall or Afrobeat. Binksternet (talk) 12:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Binksternet: So it's OK to added R&B/Hip-hop in the Infobox right? And I have find more reliable sources [5] [6] [7] to make sure they are correct about dancehall or Afrobeat. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 08:49, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed two things: quoting Spin "That audacity, of course, is his abandonment of the American rap/R&B binary and embrace of the pan-global sounds of the black diaspora: grime, afrobeats, dancehall, and house music, at least so far." - so classifying it as only R&B hiphop takes issue with that ; and "pop" is as mentioned as afrobeat and others like grime, Southafrican house. I'd just add House to R&B and HH, unless world music is eligible. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 17:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cornerstonepicker: So are you saying only Hip-hop and R&B should be added in the infobox? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 15:25, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@TheAmazingPeanuts: It should but as I said some sources say it's not only a HH/R&B record. It's hard to pick a third genre. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 23:31, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cornerstonepicker: What about this source [8], it says something about dancehall but I'm not sure. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 23:08, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@TheAmazingPeanuts: "dancehall production", for me it's ok, R&B / Hip hop / dancehall. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:51, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cornerstonepicker: Added genres with reliable sources with this edit, you can see it yourself. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 04:43, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template

[edit]

Koavf, reason for the template says playlist instead of album because it is not supported by sources, the artist describes the project as a playlist [9] [10], though some publications have referred to it as a mixtape [11] [12] [13]. Another editor Chasewc91, has point this out before [14]. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 21:50, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Koavf: That's good, but should it be a vote on it? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 22:32, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 04:51, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Koavf: Okay, but what about Drake discography, should it count as a mixtape there? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 00:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 07:22, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Koavf: Done. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 21:38, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should the infobox keep as playlist

[edit]

The consensus is that More Life should be called a mixtape in the infobox.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

There have been several editors argue "playlist" should be added in the infobox, because Drake himself called it a playlist and was supported by reliable sources [15] [16], but playlist is not a valid album type for the infobox, you can see it right here. I think it should be called mixtape in the infobox because some publications have referred to it as a mixtape, including Metacritic [17] [18] [19].

Votes

@Ajlantarctica: No sources calling this a album, it's just your opinion. Did you even pay attention that most editors have voted as a mixtape, not an album. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 14:57, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
also @Ajlantarctica:, modifying the content while a discussion is ongoing is somewhat provocative. As self-revert is in order. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You know what, let's just keep it at mixtape. I tried to do something and it didn't work. I'm sorry about that. I also changed More Life back to mixtape. My apologies. Ajlantarctica (talk) 21:15, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mynameisajltheone: I agreed, Jc86035 and Cornerstonepicker also pointed this out too, until Drake releases his next project, we don't know if this is a album or not. For now, let's just called it a mixtape. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 11:30, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@EditorE: The reason for this because several editors been changing the infobox to album or playlist. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 16:18, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
