how DRAKE will save hip hop, make sure you thank him

10 Jul

now i know yall have had this album in yall ipod for like weeks now i mean i cant  go down the block to get a homemade ice tea without some chick bangin this shit in her Toyota

but it seems that there are people who still want to know what i think bout the dude

perhaps my not so secret dislike for the Young Money camp might be a reason

so never the less i am going to attempt to give you my unbiased (wink wink)opinion on the latest DRAKE offering ..

dont thank me at all

–fireworks feat Alicia Keys

this to me is his
introspective look into his experiences surrounding his newfound glory
at times humble at times arrogant the perfect human combination
alicias vocals give the track an air of dreamyness and uplifts the song as a whole
(im a sucker for strings and background vocal ensembles)
Drakes inspirational lyrical content caused me to also wish see fireworks
with the autobiographical accounts dealing with love, family, and career also gives us a glimpse into the mind of a man thrust into success and concerned that this might adversely affect his relationships…PLY- REPEAT

–the resistance

not to particularly fond of this track
perhaps the lack of drums or the similarity to the song fireworks…FFWD

–show me a good time

wasnt sure how this song was going to turn out Kanye  made the beat the sample and the drums in the opening measures sound like some shit made on a old ass Roland in the late 90’s
some more bragging from the dude but i think kanye played the homie Drake with that “beat i had forgotten about that was on an old ass DAT tape that i found under the bed so lemmie jus give it to the new kid” beat…SKIP

–Fancy Ft T.I. and Swizz Beats

beat sounds like some Primo type shyt its kool tho
i guess this is the anthem for them chicks that spend 30% of they paycheck to make it appear that their paycheck iz 50% larger than it is
i dunno i aint hatin tho
i like the track
but that bol T.I. i think destroys Drake on his own shit ala EM and Jay

i have a hankering for some baked Zitti all of a sudden...PLY

..hol up i gotta stop right here to make my drink and smoke a cigarette..

–Unforgettable Ft. Jeezy

despite the title.. the track i feel is anything but unforgettable
i havent like jeezy since “go getta” so i guess i was a little biased when i heard the song
Drizzy does his thing on the hook
but i feel that the subject matter has been done to death..FFWD-SKIP

–Miss me Ft lil wayne

decent track
d.o r.ight a.nd k.ill e.rything
oh ok
and i dont think i would any woman sucking the brown off me anytime soon
well on second thought…PLAY

–Find your Love

one of my favorite trax and a good follow up single
i kant help to feel that i could relate to the video
(no i dont mean sexin a big booty red bone in kingston type relating ..but i wish.)
but nah the video and song are a perfect companion when most videos nowadays aint got shit to do with the song
i myself have delt with a chick that could be described as “bad money” so the video
is especially relevant to me personally
as far as the song i actually didnt mind his singing…REPEAT

–Karaoke

i love the smooth trax and the water rhodes is a nice accent..
the hook is especially descent
i guess DRAKE dont want his ex to move to a new city and become a smut lol
(damn homie you need to let her spread that love around lol)…PLAY

–over

over it…SKIP

–up all night Ft niki minaj

i seen some chicks throw drinks on each other while this joint was on
in the bar
that alone makes it worth a…REPEAT

–Shut it down Ft the Dream

i fucks wit the dream
so that alone makes the track a go
and to all the ladies readin
take then fuckin heels off
but make sure them toes iz regulated properly first..PLAY

Light up FT Jay-Z

BOO…

i think Jay was tryin hard as hell not to get the fuck ate on this track(no homo)

these hooks iz all starten to sound the same…FFWD

–Ceces Interlude

rock guitars and snappy snares
who ever this chick is DRAKE’s on her tilzop…PLAY

–thank me now

thanx…PLAY
