Drake son:

French Montana – No Shopping (Ft. Drake)

After teasing the track yesterday, French Montana has unleashed his Drake-assisted single “No Shopping,” new music from the New York rapper’s forthcoming MC4 project due out August 19th. “No Shopping,” produced by Murda Beatz and CuBeatz, just debuted on OVO Sound Radio along with a remix of French Montana and Kodak Black’s hit single “Lockjaw” featuring Gucci Mane. As expected, Drizzy has now…

Once again 40 saves another Drake album. On April 29th, Drake came out with his new album “Views”. The 20 songs filled album has two sides to it.  

The first being what you would usually expect from Drake lyrically.  Like his last couple albums; he’s reminiscing about another girl that broke his heart or that he grew apart from.  The only thing that is different is that the production style is impeccable.  

40 is great at what he does.  He has absolutely mastered music in a way that would make a deaf person audibly capable.  He is possibly the Beethoven of our generation; composing works of art that can force a person to tune in and appreciate the note-by-note assembly making hits like “9”, “You With Me?”, “One Dance” and many more.  

Drake did drop some pretty hard bars though.  “I lost my way. I’m searching for these words; to say to you”. Or when he said, “Always saw you for what you could have been. Ever since you met me. Like when Chrysler made that one car that look just like the Bentley. I always saw you for what you could have been… And it’s all because you chose a side.  You’re supposed to be put your pride aside and ride for me”. But, with 20 songs in an album it’s inevitable that there would be some well written lyrics.

All together 40 stole the show.  Drake did his job as an artist; like in “Childs Play”.  It’s just that I expected more from Drake.  Especially since Kanye said that Drake is the face of Hip-Hop right now.  He did develop some great music though. I’m not saying that I won’t be listening to it all summer because I will.  I’m just questioning if the album would have been as good as it is if 40 wasn’t in the picture.
