i dont understand why you are comparing them, maybe by realsing a mixtape and creating buzz? still dont get it cause wayne had a TON of mixtapes, drake just had one and it was like 2 years ago
1. Fireworks - Beat is pretty decent. Very intro appropriate and Drake is being honest. Alicia Keys should be doing all of this hook. Alicia does sound good on this though. - 3.5/52. Karaoke - Never heard of "Francis & The Lights" but I'm kind of feeling this beat. The singing goes well with it but I'm not sure I'd listen to this again. - 2.5/53. The Resistance - This sounds too much like a lot of Drake tracks. - 3/54. Over - 3.75/5 - Everyone and they mama heard this by now. Always liked it.5. Show Me a Good Time - Beat is ok, Kanye could do better. Song isn't bad. Someone said something about Common on here but I don't hear him at all - 3.25/56. Up All Night - Beat is decent. The beat switch up suits Nicki Minaj's verse. - 3/57. Fancy - Beat is alright but hook is annoying. Not sure who told Swizz Beats he could do hooks. T.I. flow worked well on here, he's the best part of this song but that's not saying much. Lol at the B.o.B. line, hopefully he sneakin' in how much better B.o.B. is than Drake. - 2.75.58. Shut It Down - Not bad. If your gonna' collab with Dream, you should let Dream produce it though. - 3.25/59. Unforgettable - Jeezy's hook is the bright spot. The beat is eyy/ and none of the verses are mind blowing. U makin' a track with Jeezy, make it a fast beat. Lol at the fuck Chilli line though. - 3/510. Light Up - Lol at the prom night line. Beat is ok but Drake flow fit it. I'm disappointed with Jay-Z verse. He gave Drake a throwaway. All verses on BP3 are better. - 3/511. Miss Me - This sounds like a Drake/Wayne joint from a mixtape. Not album appropriate. Even when the beat switches for Wayne verse, sounds like such a mixtape. - 3/512. Cece's Interlude - Sounds like every other Drake singing song. - 2/513. Find Your Love - Not gonna lie, this shit has grown on me since it first came out. - 3.5/514. Thank Me Now - Love the title. Not the best Timbaland beat, but still good. Probably the best beat on the album. - 3.5/5This album sucks, wtf. I may have even been generous with some of the ratings. And I'm a Drake fan/defender of most of his music, albeit not a huge fan, I thought he would do way better than this. Too bad this will still sell like hot cakes. Maybe it's first listen syndrome and will grow on me with more listens? I doubt it, but I'll keep SOME [aka little] hope open.
After one listen, this album is exactly what i wanted and expected. It's feel good music, a mix of r&b and rap, mood music. I'm real glad he didn't switch it up too much from So Far Gone to his album, it's basically like a polished version of So Far Gone, which is very good.Btw whoever didn't like Jay Z's verse on "Lights Up" only skimmed through it... That verse is full of gems. Anyway, hard to judge after a quick listen but from the atmosphere it's exactly what I wanted it to be. Don't listen to Drake looking for complex lyrics and indredible delivery or amazing singing abilities. Drake makes feel good urban pop music.
there are like 4 good songs on it and only one of them doesnt contain a feature. it was really boring. its a shame when an artist creates a great mixtape, rides their buzz so long until everyone who originally like them is sick of them and then makes a mediocre album. wale anyone? lol
Up All Night def got my head banging, that beat is nice!
