LIGHT UP!!! New Drake-Jay-Z HEATROCK!!

Posted in
Light Up.....
This is the new single off of Drake's new mixtape "Thank Me Later", and possibly one of the best written and well spit verses that I've heard in a long time. We are all used to the new club anthems that have been getting released every OTHER day, but this record went the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Hard, dark beat, soft sung hook; compliments of Drake, and a real pessimistic and cocky approach by both hip hop icons. It is the perfect recipe to form not only a hot single, but a classic by all measures. If you haven't heard it.......take your ass to the bottom of the page and do so....quick ;0) . Seriously, let me know what you think! Classic or Crap?!!

Classic

I'm hard on the artists, but raising the bar to the highest is probably still gonna leave expectations of Hov exceeding your expectations, which he probably has with this verse. From the cocky delivery and flow switches to the climactic rare view into the lonesome aspect of being that big in the game. The track is in a league of its own lately. I'd say a big step in the direction of PUNCHLINES and hot FLOW taking the THRONE over MONOTONY and SIMPLICITY. I think the question is, how is this song gonna effect the game, and who do you think wants that change to occur?!

classic.

hov never disappoints.. and ive missed this drake. im so tired of hearing him on the radio soundin like everyone else. he needs to backtrack to what he was doin before he startin fuckin with wayne.. his mixtapes used to be on repeat all day. lately i havent been takin the time to even listen to whats "new" on the radio, from drake or anyone else, because its all soundin the same, talkin about the same shit. the new comers are afraid to be different and take risks, but thats the only way theyre gonna get any respect. and im glad drake got on with hov, cause hes always pushin the envelope and takin the game in the direction it needs to keep goin. i think a lot of that comes from him bein in the game as its changed, he knows how it used to be and where its goin. but, this track got me excitied to hear this mixtape, i just hope is doesnt disappoint.
