Oh my god, this is pretty amazing. We got Bars Drake.

Yeah this is my favourite thing from NWTS so far. Drake rapping with passion on this track. I dig the hook too. And damn when that beat comes in I get chills. I can die happy after hearing that second verse.

I want a version of this album where Drake stares into my eyes the whole time.

Drake is so versatile and so passionate about his music. He's definitely one of the best out there currently.

As much as I love Sampha, I think Drake used him great.

He blinks too much for that. He was probably trying not to cry. Forreal it's good shit though.

Lazyspy•

I was thing the same thing. This is the first live performance I have seen from him but damn if it don't sound like its studio quality.

DazVader•

From videos that I've seen, Drake has to be one of the beat sounding rappers when performing live. He doesn't do what the majority of rappers do which is cupping the microphone and just shouting the lyrics.

Good habits from singing.

Yeah I always wondered if concerts are any fun because they sound like every other person on the planet. At least thats what I capture from youtube.

Concerts are just one giant party that your favorite artists are hosting. They are fun even if their songs don't sound how they do on the record.

Had the privilege to see Drake in concert and can say he sounds just like he does on his albums. Marvin's room live was unreal.

Goddamn this is the Drake that I like. That hook is pretty nice, and I like how it segues into the verses too.

Forreal tho, how much make up does he have on? I know all celebrities have some on when they're on tv, but this looks pretty heavy for Drake. Looks like has eyeliner on and everything.

Either way, I can dig the song. Looking forward to that studio version, though I hope it's as stripped down as this.

91
[deleted]•

Drake kinda always has that eye liner look tho. That light skin wonder.

19
[deleted]•

Damn I am really feeling this but Drake just cracks me up with the facial expressions he makes, excessive blinking, and hand gestures.

I can't wait to hear how this sounds in the studio

So far my favorite tracks from NWTS:

  1. Too Much

  2. Hold On, We're Going Home

  3. All Me

  4. Wu-Tang Forever

  5. Started From the Bottom

Edit: After listening to this 6 or 7 times I think it's already one of my top 5 favorite songs from him all time. Atta boy Aubrey

You forgot Jodeci and The Motion.

Jodeci isn't on the album but The Motion is Best Buy exclusive.

WhiteCotton•

Why is started from the bottom your least favorite? I'm really just wanting to hear your opinion

1
[deleted]•

I have liked everything off NWTS so far, it's just my least favorite of the five. I don't actually dislike it. That being said, I find it a little repetitive and boring. I also think his verses could have been longer and he could have said more about how he started from the bottom.

Although I'm a huge Drake stan, I can understand how he gets shit for the song. I understand how he started from the bottom of the music industry etc but he needed to elaborate more on what he meant by started from the bottom.

2
HW_Plainview•

Na Drake had it right by laying back on the beat. Notice how every remix of the track had dudes just rapping as fast as they could? Notice how it sounded like shit when they did that...less is more with the SFTB beat and Drake understood that. Tracks fire.

1
[deleted]•

That's your opinion.

And I didn't say I wanted him to rap faster at all. I just think each verse could have been longer to support his claim that he started from the bottom. And don't get me wrong, it's still a fun song.

Some of Drake is real, a lot of Drake isn't real, I think people's main gripe with him is that he's corny and effeminate.

I think people's main gripe with him is that he's corny and effeminate

there's a tinge of homophobia in a lot of drake haters, not gonna lie

real men aint afraid to cry

drake understands these real nigga tears

47
the_demon_hunter•

Don't think that's homophobia

-3
[deleted]•

What's the correct word for it then? If you think being effeminate is an inherently bad thing, aren't you just perpetuating gender roles saying that men have to act like this and women have to act like that? "Homophobia" is just the closest word I can think of. It's not just the hatred/fear of gay people, its also the hatred/fear of traditionally "gay" concepts, or actions outside of your prescribed gender roles.

28
[deleted]•

There's a reason that his demographic is mainly younger white women and teenagers in general, it's not that people can't get emotional it's that people have outgrown being emotional about the things Drake does songs about. He's a one man boy band.

-9
BasedBruiser•

This statement is so wrong on so many different levels.

7
Gotie•

Actually, I would argue the exact opposite. His topics are universal. He doesn't only talk about relationships, but he talks about his mom growing old, his relationship with his dad, the struggle of "What if one day I can't deliver". All of which are things that even people in their 30s think about. I'm not gonna turn this song on one day and think "Wow, now that I'm 24, this is stupid".

5
TheStonedImacculate•

How is he not real though?

6
[deleted]•

By saying things like "catch a body" and verbalizing violence that he's never seen or been a part of in his life. Faking it if you will.

-5
BasedBruiser•

And Eminem called himself a serial killer. And Rick Ross said he knows the real Noreaga. And Earl Sweatshirt called himself a "hot and bothered astronaut". HE'S NO FUCKING ASTRONAUT!

Such fake.

8
TheStonedImacculate•

"You going to hype me up and make me catch a body like that" He saying he will kill someone not that he has. And I wouldn't even take that so literally since in his next line he saying rapping is his life not just a hobby so he'd kill for it.

When I see people refer to Drake as "party rap" I always imagine that phone message part playing at some loud house party and everyone just stops what they're doing, goes silent, and looks pretty sad.

23
VCLVO_VOC•

People might think Drake complains too much about being famous but IMO that's what makes him one of the realiest in the game right now. He's honest in his music.

1
CompanyCalls•

Is it me or is that first piano chord the same one that 'Over my dead body' starts with too? Really dug this song btw the transitions into the verses were great and Sampha has such a smooth voice.

35
tryates6•

Sounds similar, at least. When I heard it, I was like, "is this man really about to do a song off of Take Care?"

8
whalesharkdolphin•

Yep I had that same thought. Wasn't mad though, I love "Over My Dead Body". Best song on Take Care in my opinion

That's and look what you've done are mine. Love the emotional rap drake. In look what you've done I always choke at the "you said that and you meant that" part.

Na he was great but those drake bars were pure emotion.
