- They are in the club screaming no new friends. What guys do you know that would do that?
- None of them really stick completely to the theme of the song on their verses, but I guess this is nothing new in hip-hop today.
- I missed the entire point of Wayne's verse except he's been Ca$h Money from day one.

DJ Khaled feat Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne - No New Friends
First and foremost, I LIKE THIS SONG. But, there are a few things that I found interesting.

The Weeknd - Dirty Diana
I can't say enough about how much I really like The Weeknd's cover of MJ's classic, Dirty Diana. He takes this and definitely adds his style/flair to it. It'll never be the original but his cover is pretty friggin' good.
On the other side of the spectrum you have "Practice" by Drake which is not a true cover but close enough:
Don't get it twisted, I'm a big Drake fan but I don't think he did a good job on that one. It just doesn't flow well to me.

Well, it didn't take Lonnie long to respond...
Looks like Common read between the lines of "Stay Schemin" like the rest of us and responded to this.
Go ahead, press play, and skip to the 3:30 mark.
Track and "cover" found at nahright.com.
My guess is Common is just getting warmed-up and threw this out there to see if Drake will respond to him directly. This could get more interesting but might not. Why? Because of this... "diss me and you’ll never hear a reply for it" - Drake.
We'll see.

Do yourself a favor and go ahead and skip to Drake's verse (1:45)...
"You wasn't with me shootin' in the gym!" <-- Best (read: most hilarious) line so far this year in rap???
Like everyone else I'll assume that Drake threw at least one shot at Common in the verse, probably several. I just don't understand though, why Drake took to talking about weaponry and "running into" people. We all know this will come nowhere near that level. It could however, be a pretty decent "rap beef/battle" though I think Common would really hurt Drake's feelings if he decided to pull a "Bitch In You" on Drake like he did when he dropped that on Ice Cube back in the day.

Wake & Drake: I'm On One
As an aside, I went back and listened to Khaled's first album "Listeeeennnnnn" and I just want to put it out there that he has several tracks on there that might be street classics ("Holla At Me Baby", "Born N Raised", and arguably "Grammy Family") . If he didn't scream so much on all the tracks I think he'd get more respect in general for the work he's done over the years he's been somewhat mainstream. Most people find Khaled annoying because of the ad-libs but he has a knack for putting together some good crew tracks and some good songs in general ("Cash Flow" or "Go Hard" anyone?).

Affion Crockett's Drake Spoofs are Hilarious!!!
These spoofs are so funny I have to do a post for archival purposes. At least, they're funny to me because I've been following Drake since the hype first started.
Original Blackberry Freestyle
Watch how hard Flex sices this shyt up though, LOLOLOLOL!
My favorite Flex quotes:
"Shootin' the movie! IN HD!"
"I need his mic UP...Let me situate this!"
"Ya in the Aston Martin doing DONUTS!!!!"
Drake took a lot of heat on the InterWeb for reading the rhymes off his Blackberry but I don't really think it's a big deal. None of these rappers freestyle anymore anyway so what's the big deal if he hadn't memorized his Blackberry freestyles yet, lol.
Affion Crockett Spoof
LMAO at "You need some fruit!" and him saying "why you put that on, Imma find something for that!" lol.
Original Westwood Freestyle
Westwood sicing this joint almost as much as Flex. Flex's sice-ups are EPIC though because his voice just takes over any other sound, lol.
Affion Crockett Spoof
Peep how Affion has the handshaking and mannerisms down to the tee, lol.

Album Review: Drake - Thank Me Later

My enjoyment of Drake's music is pretty well documented on this blog so I feel like I'd be remiss and kind of lame if I didn't do a blogpost reviewing his album.
With all the hype leading up to Drake's album I was excited when I learned that it leaked so I could get a chance to preview it. I knew I was gonna buy the album regardless so listening to the leak didn't seem sacrilegious for a close-but-not-quite-yet Drake stan such as myself. I'd heard "Over" and been pretty unimpressed but realized it was a fairly safe first "radio single" so from a marketing perspective, it made sense. Then I heard "Find Your Love" which took about a week to grow on me but once it did, I really enjoyed the song (and still do) even though most dudes probably won't want to admit that they like it.
In my world, Drake would have dropped this album way back when the buzz for "Best I've Ever Had" was at epic proportions (if you don't think the buzz for that track was epic you have a touch of Downs). You could not get in your car and turn on the radio or go to a club without having this song shoved down your throat (and about 90% of us were loving it, myself included). In my world, Drake's second single would have been "Say Something" being dropped about a month after "Best I've Ever Had". "Say Something" is a song that Drake completely owned! To this day I don't understand why Timbaland didn't just listen to Drake's verse and say: "Homie, you deserve this joint. I'm taking myself off, go head and run with it." And a month after "Say Something" dropped I'd have put out "Un-Thinkable". But of course, that song is Alicia Keys's and not Drake's. And after that I'd have killed the game with "Invented Sex" (notice a theme here?).
Best I've Ever Had -> Say Something -> Un-Thinkable -> Invented Sex
Club banger -> Club banger -> Lady-friendly -> *DROP ALBUM* -> Club banger -> WORLD EXPLODES AND ONLY DRAKE AND HIS HAREM OF SCRUMPETS SURVIVE!!!
If that formula wouldn't have gotten Drake a million units sold in the first week I don't know what would have. And I'm not necessarily a fan of formulaic rap marketing plans but if any artist right now was built to proliferate to pop ubiquity because of a rap marketing formula, IT'S DRAKE (Justin Beiber notwithstanding)!
The sad part is (for me), my world is far from reality. Drake doesn't care what I'd prefer, Drake cares about what he wants to do. And the reality is that Drake waited months after his initial buzz began and grew to a ridiculous level to drop his album, and he didn't come close to the order of releases I listed above. Heck, 3 of the 4 tracks I listed aren't even on the album (that's the theme I was hinting at)!
Speaking of the album, here's my track-by-track review.
Fireworks feat. Alicia Keys: Dope! I heard a live version of this before the CDQ and have liked it from the start. I'm still trying to figure out if the second verse is about the time he spent with Rihanna. Then again, Drake's heartache episodes do come up several times on the album so it could be someone that isn't famous.
Karaoke: I may be the only person on earth that enjoys this song (no, the singing doesn't bother me). And if so... So be it! To put it simply, I enjoy the vibe of the song and the hook. It has that relaxing vibe I like when I'm chillin' in my backyard on a night with clear skies, star-gazing. Drake does us the "favor" of rapping on this track but I think I'd actually prefer it without him rapping. I would jump out there and say that it's my favorite song on the album but Jay-Z is on track 10 with a pretty sick verse.
The Resistance: This is apparently the song that lots of people feel is the best on the album. I missed the memo. It's a good song (very well-written) but it just doesn't do it for me enough to say it's the best track on the album. It's a good listen though.
Over: He makes a nice segue into the song but I'm tired of hearing it. SKIP!
Show Me A Good Time: This track starts off upbeat and caught my ear off the break. It has a Baltimore club vibe to it that makes you wanna move. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks on the album, even with Drake's weak/flat flow at times. But this song is supposed to get you up and grooving and it succeeds in that area.
Up All Night: I like the sinister feel to this beat, especially the way the beat drops. Drake's verse ain't bad but Nicki Minaj stole this track to me. Her style and flow on the track is perfectly swaggerrific lol.
Fancy: Showtime! You know it's a party track when you see "feat. Swizz Beatz". And as usual, Swizzy delivers. This song is about empowering the ladies and has a Beyonce-esque hook (ie - "nails done hair done everything did!"). Tippord came through with a nice verse on this one also. The part at the end where they slow it down and Drake sings and then raps kinda threw the song off a bit for me and makes it seem to drag a bit. But up until that point this song rocks!
Shut It Down: Fact... I like The Dream's music a lot. Fact... I think The Dream and Drake are both good at song-writing and composition. Fact... I really can't get with this song. It's way too long and it screws up the flow of the album. You go from party-happy "Fancy" to red light special? Not feeling it. And "ice cream conversations, they all want the scoop" is a horrible line Mr. Nash! I'm interested in seeing if any of you like this song.
Unforgettable: This track succeeds where the last one fails. It's not too long, overdone, or seemingly contrived. Jeezy brings that street feel to a record that Drake is whining about his love life (again) on. Maybe he should be classified as singer first and rapper second since he talks about love and sings so much (not that there's anything wrong with singing about love, I'm just saying). And Jeezy has the what is undoubtedly the most reckless line of the album on this track, "... done everything in the A but effed Chili". It's so uncalled-for and reckless but that's the type of shenanigans you would expect from Jeezy. It's still a step up from "paddy-cake paddy-cake MICRO-WAVE!" though, lol.
Light Up: I thought Drake's verse was dope until I heard Jay's. I mean, Drake's verse is pretty good but Jay killed his verse and if you think anything otherwise you are crazy! I have actually replaced the version with Jay and Drake with the version that has Lil Wayne's Rikers Island call-in verse (rofl). Jay verse > Wayne verse > Drake verse. As far as rapping goes this is arguably the best song on the album. The only contender is...
Miss Me: Drake kills his verse. His flow and swagger are on point and it reminds me of his flow on some of his old mixtapes. Question, why not give Bun a verse rather than just having him do a "drop" in the middle of a verse? Or maybe Bun will appear on a remix of this track. "Bills everywhere! Trill everything! And Drake just stand for do right and kill everything!" I had to get that one out of my system, lol. Lil Wayne stans won't agree but Drake's verse is better than Wayne's. Oh and did I mention that the beat on this song is vicious?!?!?!!!!
Cece's Interlude: Another one of (what I consider) the misplaced tracks on this album. I could do without this one on the album at all. It messed up the flow of the album to me. And it's yet another track of Drake addressing his heartache. *YAWN*. It's not that I don't care about Drake and his women issues, it's more so that Kanye did it sooooo much better on 808s. It's like my man Kev said, "Drake is a poor man's Kanye West!" He was referring to the the 808s version of Kanye only though, lol.
Find Your Love: I really like this song. It took me several listens but it grew on me. This is a complete rip-off of the type of track you'd expect on 808s & Heartbreaks, which is understandable (I guess) considering Kanye produced this track. I can already see a video with Amber Rose as the star even though it's not Yeezy's track.
Thank Me Now: My response to the title of this track...Ummmm, try again. Thank you for what exactly, Aubrey? This track sounds forced to me and I'm not quite sure why. The ill part about it is that Drake spits some of his best lines on this track. "your idols become your rivals...A-I'em for your survival." That's dope shyt.
I'll get it out of the way quickly because this is what you probably wanted to know rather than my opinion on each song...
I like the album but I think that it's average. Easy-listening (some would say it's boring I'd imagine) and Drake doesn't do anything to turn you away (then again, that's if you don't mind his singing so much). Overall I'd give this disc a 3 on a scale of 1-to-5 (I'd upgrade it to 3.5 if he took off the song with Terius Nash and "Cece's Interlude"). Ok, there you have it! Now onto more prognosticating and opinionated bantering.
I'm gonna be honest and say I love Drake's music prior to the release of this album more than I enjoy this album. So Far Gone still gets consistent play in my rotation and Comeback Season gets put into the rotation at least once every couple months. I don't listen to his first mixtape (Room For Improvement) very much at all but even that one's not bad (it's not better than Thank Me Later though). I won't jump out there and say Room For Improvement is better than this album but So Far Gone (the original version) just might be. I could see people saying that this album is more polished than So Far Gone and I agree from a production stand-point. But from a quality and consistency stand-point, I think So Far Gone has the upper-hand.
What's ironic is that Drake would have named this album more appropriately had he named it "Room For Improvement" rather than "Thank Me Later". The latter title denotes a certain level of confidence/arrogance (depending on how you view it) that the album just doesn't quite live up to. It's like when Slim Thug released the album Already Platinum which I don't think even went platinum (could definitely be wrong on that and definitely don't care enough about Slim Thug to look it up). Songs like "The Resistance", "Light Up" (though Jay-Z Renegade'd him on the track), "Unforgettable", and "Miss Me" show that Drake's got talent and potential. But other songs come across as duds that are ill-placed in the flow of the album ("Shut It Down" and "Cece's Interlude"). It's obvious that Drake can be a great writer ("UnThinkable" with Alicia Keys, "Miss Me", and "The Resistance") but it just seems he hasn't fully put all the talents he has together in a way that is cohesive through-out an entire album. But the great part is that this is just album #1 so he'll have at least one more shot at putting it all together.
This is a solid/serviceable/decent initial release musically and seems like it will be a commercial success on the level of Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 (Drake sold 462K units in the first week and will undoubtedly go platinum and Jay sold about 100k more than that his first week). There are also rumors circulating that Drake is making $5 off each album copy sold which would mean he's already a couple million off the album sales alone (not taking into consideration tour money and whatever other back-end deals he has like the Sprite deal). With that said, I don't consider those first week sales numbers a failure for Drake because he was hyped up so much that he was never going to measure up to it. And even if the numbers aren't a millie out the gate, he is at least making a decent penny for his efforts.
If Drake's as talented as I think he is, he'll continue working on music that brings out what he does best which is rapping (not singing) and also writing songs for people that CAN sing like Alicia Keys. If Aubrey sticks to the melodies on hooks and bridges only and continues to work on his lyrical dexterity, he'll be okay. That is, if he wants to be a rapper. I get the impression he wants to be Kanye-esque and form-fit himself into the genre's he enjoys and is influenced by. Drake has a decent ear for beats that the mainstream enjoys so radio play won't be an issue, and he gon' be ayight if he keeps himself on every hook, lol. But instead of thanking him, after listening to this album I feel like he's done average and maybe even good up to this point but there's definitely room for improvement.

What's Life Without a Soundtrack...

Every time I hear the song "Music For Life" I think about how much music is a part of my life and how much I enjoy listening to music.
I'm a hip-hop guy so I tend to listen to way more hip-hop than any other genre of music. I get my R&B in of course, a little jazz here-and-there, and the occasional jump into rock or some sort of "hip-rock" mash-up. Lately I've had a few songs in my "Every Day" mix on my Blackberry that I'd like to share:
Veteran's Day - Rick Ross, Baby, Lil Wayne
Slow Down - Fat Joe feat. Young Jeezy
Exhibit C - Jay Electronica
Victory - DJ Khaled, Nas, and John Legend
No Excuses - Young Buck
Trap Or Die 2 (Reloaded) - Young Jeezy
Beamer, Benz, Bentley - Lloyd Banks & Juelz Santana
My New Sh*t - Drake, Von Pea, and Phonte

Forever: Kanye & The Rest of Them Dudes

For real, Drake should just let Kanye have the "Forever" track they dropped yesterday. Yes, I know its for LeBron's documentary soundtrack! Yes I know it's Drake's song. But Kanye OWNED everybody on that joint. Eminem gave Yeezy a little bit of competition but Kanye owns that track. And Drake's verse on the original is definitely better than his verse on this release.
For those of you that are confusing Marshall's fast flow with him having the best verse, get your mind right. Although the homie DP thinks that Em owned the track (and makes a very good argument on his blog), I think that his post about this track shows exactly why I feel Kanye owned everybody on it. Try this...
Read everybody's verse.
Then read Kanye's again.
Then listen to the song again.
I rest my case.

Video: Drake - Best I Ever Had
"I have just been sittin' in this cell thinkin' what I coulda done to make my first video ground breaking" -- Drake "Goin In For Life" (Comeback Season Mixtape)
Ummmm, FAIL!
First impression...Tig Ole Bitties.
What is up with Drake and his cardigans?
Funny thing is that in the face Drake looks old enough to be a HS bball coach.
What does basketball have to do with this song and vice-versa?
"When you're out there and they put that 'D' on you. Take that 'D'!...And you all know good and well what we can do in 2 minutes" <-- WOMP!
I'm not sure what Kanye was trying to do with this video but I definitely didn't expect anything like this. This video is made for 106 & Park where nobody really cares if the video correlates to the content of the song. Drake, I expected better!
And the fact that there are probably lots of other people out there that expected better may end up being the biggest challenge Drake has to face. Living up to the hype. Lyrically, Drake is dope and nobody is denying that. But at this point he's been put up on such a pedestal it's probably going to be hard to meet most people's expectations. If this video were from someone you'd never heard of who wasn't getting radio spins without a deal or selling out venues across the country off the strength of a friggin mixtape, this *might* be a good look for a first video. But for Drake, it just won't cut it.
If you ask me, Kanye set Drake up on this one. I would not have signed off on this joint if I was Drake.

Wake and Drake: Man of the Year (feat. Lil Wayne)

Pure fire off off of "Comeback Season".
I got a city that I carry like Mariah
Shyt is easy pop, that's why I'm ready mayne/I never copied nor bit like Eddie mayne/Did you get it Eddie Murphy was in Norbit/Or was it way over your head you shold forfeit/Yeah I take a woman shoppin' in a store quick/Her azz big she just tryna make a 4 fit

Wake and Drake: Give Ya (feat. Trey Songz)

Another joint from Aubrey. Off his "Comeback Season" Mixtape...
I used to blow a couple thousand at the shake jont/And now it cost a couple thousand for a Drake jont
Even though my ex is f-cking one of my rappers friends/I don't want to seem like I am always attackin' them
Previously mischievous behavior was the leader of me/You could say I was fresh to some conceited degree/Steppin' out the house tryna figure out where cameras from Cheaters would be/But now I need a culprit, I am talkin' beach condo adult shyt/I am talking all day shopping sprees in the mall with friends that I ball wit/here meet Trey's girl, go and get you some faaaaall shyt/

Clearing up one of my Wake and Drake Posts...
I got a comment on one of my Drake posts from the artist that created what I thought was Drake's Young Angel logo and that led to this...
He seems like an honest guy who made an honest mistake so I don't mind taking it down. His work on that logo was pretty vicious so I'm hoping this doesn't hinder any work he's got going with Drizzy. Stop by his blog when you have a chance.

Wake and Drake: Say What's Real

This post will be in this vein...
Drake - Say What's Real
Why do I feel so alone
Like everybody passing through the studio
Is in character as if he acting out a movie role
Talking bullshit as if it was for you to know
And I don't have the heart to give these
B*tch ni99as the cue to go
So they stick around kicking out feedback
And I entertain it as if I need that
I had a talk with my uncle and he agreed that
My privacy about the only thing I need back
But, its hard to thinking than polite flows
[???] suits are your night clothes
And Jordan sweat suits are your flight clothes
And you still make it even when they say your flight closed
Eyes hurting from the camera phone light shows
Life was so full now this shits just been light pole
Always said I'd say it all on the right track
But in this game you only lose when you fight back
Black diamond bracelets, showing you the basics
I can't live and hold the camara, someone gotta tape this
I make hits so like a b*tch that's married married I ain't miss [Ms.]
24 hours from greatness, I'm that close
Don't ever forget the moment you began to doubt
Transitioning from fitting in to standing out
Los Angeles, Cabanas or Atlanta south
Watchin Hov show embarrassed to pull my camera out
And my mother embarrassed to put my Phantom out
So I park about 5 houses down
She said I shouldn't have until I have the crown
But i don't wanna feel the need to wear disguises around
So she wonder where my mind is accounts in the minus
But yet I'm rolling round the f*ckin city like your highness
Got ni99as reacting without a sinus [can't breathe]
Cause what I'm working with is timeless
And promoters try to get me out to they club
And say I have fun but I can't imagine how
Cause I just see my ex-girl
Standing with my next girl
Standing with the girl that I'm f*ckin right now
And shit could get weird unless they all down
And so I stay clear, we from a small town
And everybody talks and everybody listen
And somehow the truth just always comes up missing
I've always been something that these labels can't buy
Especially if they trying to take a piece of my soul
And Sylvia be telling [???] "Damn Drake fly"
And he just be like "Silly motherf*cker I know"
That was your bad, how could you pass up on em?
He just take the records and he gas up on em
Wayne would probably put a million cash up on em
Surprised no one ever put your a$$ up on 'em
Oh they did Po, at least they tried to
And that's what happens when you spitting whats inside you
But slip-up and shoot the wrong f*cking video
And they think they can market you however they decide to
Nah, before they told me to do me
And don't listen to anybody that knew me
Cause to have known me would mean that there's a new me
And if you think I've changed in the slightest coulda fooled me
Boar, and in my city I'm da 2-3
Drug dealers live vicariously through me
I quit school and is not because I'm lazy
I'm just not the social type and campus life is crazy
Understand, I could get money with my eyes closed
Lost some of my hottest versus down in Cabo
So if you find a blackberry with the sidescroll
Sell that mothaf*cka to any rapper that i know
Cause they need it much more than I ever will
I got new shit, I'm gettin' better still
Little ni99as put my name in their verses
Cause they girlfriend put my a$$ on a pedestal
Future said cause it's Ye shit you better kill
And I think this got that making of a legend feel
Problem with these other ni99as they ain't never real
Yea ... Thats all I can say
Listen for yourself...

Wake and Drake
UPDATE: After receiving a request from the guy that created the logo and reading his post on what actually happened, I have removed what I thought was the Drake Young Angel logo.
But you should check out http://thelegendsleague.com/blog because that logo was OFFICIAL!
Ya'll know...the routine.
And yes, I'm STAN-ing to the point where I'm posting logos and sh*t. It seemed like a lot of people on nahright are saying it's kinda lame/gay but I think it's kinda smooth. And that second link above has me very interested in seeing what Young Angel and Young Hov cooked up during Drizzy's trip to New Yiddy.

Wake and Drake
As soon as I got up this morning I turned on Drake's "Comeback Season" mixtape (FIIIIYERRRRRRRRR) and that put me in the zone. Then I got to my desk and checked my bloglines and what shows up in my NahRight feed?
Nothing other than videos from his performance at SUNY this weekend (vids from NahRight.com (props to Eskay). Don't let the weak audio fool you,
Best I Ever Had
If you don't like this song something might actually be wrong with you....
"Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on/That's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong"
"Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc"
"She call me the referee because I be so official!/My shirt ain't got no strips but I could make your ---- whiiiistle!/Like the Andy Griffith theme song/And who told you to put them jeans on?/Double-cup love, you the one I lean on/"
"Every single show she out there reppin like a mascot/Get it from the back and make ya ----- bra strap pop/All up in ya slot till a ----- hit the jackpot!"
Uptown
"Hardly home but always reppin!"
"Women don't get saved around me even on a Sunday"
"Your frame makes me want to bowl a strike"
Every Girl, Successful, and Brand New
"Are any of ya'll into girls like I am? Lesbi-Honest!"
"They be staring at the money like it's unfamiliar...Just enough will solve your problems, too much will kill ya"
"Nickel for my thoughts, dimes in my bed, quarters of the kush shape the lines in my head"
"This lost boy got fly without Peter Pan, and my delivery got me buzzin' like the pizza man."
YOU. ALREADY. KNOW!
BONUS:
Drake coming to DC!!!
Drake on Cipha Sounds
Drake on Angie Martinez
