I generally think Drake sucks, but I like this song. I wish he would make more songs like this.

I'm with this. I hate pretty much everything Drake does but I've found myself listening to this song a lot in the past few days.

What a shitty song. What a shitty beat.

I expected a few Drake one-liners but this was pretty disappointing.

I've been wondering what he meant by this.

Rap sucks, HipHop is better

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Naw, he likes hip hop and rap. He was just referring to if he hadn't started rapping he would've been a cop.
So he's cursing it, not that he doesn't like it, just for the sake of it.

Other than the fact that the Meek Mill-ishness of this song is palpable (as was previously mentioned), I agree. Drake pretty much has been making a lot of songs like this.

Drake's video is the worst thing to happen to retail pharmacies since co-pays.

I don't follow his music closely, and I haven't listened to any Drake songs since Thank Me Later came out. I was sick of him singing about his girlfriends. Plus this song is 80% rapping and the beat is good.

:icedit:

I listened to those songs you mentioned and they aren't as good as this one, and a few are callabos with bums I have no desire to listen to.

Fair enough.

I was at a local division II college basketball game last night where my friend is an assistant coach and as the team came out and started warmups, they started out with this song. The gym is fairly small, not an arena or anything, and the sound system has good bass. Hearing it that loud, made me like it even more. It's definitely a great beat.

Allegedly Lebron has dictated that it be the first song at all Miami Heat warmups as well.

Nope. I pretty much agree with that analysis. The beat is fucking dope. Drake is rapping about starting from the bottom. He worked in a retail pharmacy in the video while the unemployment rate in the US is 7.8%. Pretty sure that is not scraping the bottom.

he's not overdramatizing his life & the video reinforces that. the lyrics are about being a middle to lower middle class high school dropout from a single parent home & becoming a millionaire strictly through hardwork, talent & dedication. the reason you think the raps are wack is b/c he may or may not have worked a minimum wage job at a drug store in canada pre-recession ? :rofl:

not to overanalyze the video or anything, but he was a stock boy working in the evening and got promoted to night manager.
that, i would think, is cause for celebration, jubilation, and intoxication. [/jesse jackson]

Does being a child star count as starting from the bottom?
Also, this is easily one of his more listenable songs ever (at least of the joints I've heard)

You're distorting the narrative and we all know child stars have the most challenging time finding success as adults.

Drake is the struggle, bro.
