  2. imjustsayin says:

    and to me this shit is tite…..i meen what the fuck did u expect?? hahaha dumbasses

  3. Will says:

    @Illl

    no nigga you was saying it was a hit based off of listening to 14 seconds of the song I dont know if you was being sarcastic or what but you saying 14 seconds of a song can decide the faith of it being a hit or not man thats succing dicc

    LOL at this nigga actually following my comments WTF Cuz Im done you win Homie You really starting to making a nigga feel a lil uncomfortable LOL get on to the next subject nigga

  4. mike says:

    let we see that drake album in the next few months

    but if this album ain’t as good as the people wanted

    i will tell u that a tracklist wit FOREVER, MO MILLY, MONEY TO BLOW, FEAR & IM GOING IN

    and that would be the next platinium album of this new dedace for sure

  5. WhatsUpSon says:

    Buzz aside, umm…Buffering..62%…98%…it’s his FIRST (1st) official SINGLE! Cool your heads, naysayers. It seems like the naysayers are the biggest fans in disguise. Yeesh.

  6. DG says:

    BOB took his female audience?
    You must be smoking some strong shit.
    I was at MSG the other night when Drake came out during Jeezy’s set and the females went apeshit. The Drake track is alright for a buzz single and I’m sure something stronger will follow soon.

  7. mike says:

    DRAKE vs J.COLE

    that iz a more equal ish that jay vs nas

    because the lyricist here got the support of a big mogul

    DRAKE got the buzz n the young mula buddy/label BUT JCOLE got JIGGAMANs roc nation powerfulness N a bunch of crazy beats of course

  8. Will says:

    @imjustsayin

    Aint nobody hating niggas telling the truth the fact he got 44 comments just mean how big the record is but it doesnt solidify that he doing something right

    I mean 50 cent got 150 comments on his album selling 160 k 1st week that dont mean that he did something good or right but it shows how big he is in this game and its the sqame thing with Drake just becuz he got alot of comments dont mean the song is hot it just mean its a Big Day for hiphop becuz all the good music he passed up to release as a single its big to see what he feels is superior to those to be his official single

    real talk that song is not that great

  9. I.S.A.A.C. says:

    I’ll pass.
    I gave it 3 listens and i’d say it’s a C-.

    I was instantly happy that it isn’t some ignorant autotune money/girls stuff. After that, it’s an amazing beat but Drake coulda came so much better both on the lyrical & flow side. It sounded off at points. And the hook sux. it doesn’t HOOK you.

    Drake WILL have a dope album… I’m just not feeling this… yet? eh

  10. n80 says:

    fire!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. mike says:

    a buzz single, a street single, a song appeal, whatever

    this song iz not a HIT song. this iz marketing promo

    the next song will be the one. the offishal song to put his album on the charts

    even a bad album from drake will be gold in a minute this year….

    but wit a great hit song on the way, he will be in a second

    cosign DG, something bigger iz coming soon

    without lil wayne, the label will put drake on mars

  12. Elemer Fudd says:

    Can’t front though, the payola is gonna be crazy on this.

    I don’t like this dude. Cause i think he lame kid front like something else.

    He is not bad, he got skills, skills i consider just good know that i now true rap music, skills.
    Won’t buy his CD
    BUT
    BASE ON HYPE ALONE
    PEOPLE ARE WAITING
    AND
    THIS DUDE WILL SELL. PERIOD.

  13. Will says:

    this is like when his best I Ever had video Came out altho I enjoyed that video especiallyy that huddle monologue but everybody was disappointed and kind of confused wtf is going on

  14. life says:

    this is obvious the street single hot

  15. RapMusic23 says:

    Fuckin trash.Fuck his robotic voice,it sounds stupid.The hook is super corny.If drake fans like this,they will like anything he puts out.

  16. nushay says:

    beat>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lyrics,flow,delivery..drake just proved my point he can make good music but his rapping cant save a track..without a hot beat his shit will be trash

  17. toto says:

    there is no way this is his OFFICIAL first single, just can’t see that.
    BOI 1da kinda fucked up with this beat but drake’s verses and hook was on point( wayne should’ve done the hook)

  18. mike says:

    ayo drizzi

    fear > over

    but where’s the song as the sequel of “fear”

    is it that song ?????????????

  19. yo says:

    all young money sell is appeal smh where the music go? wayne fell off, drake & nicki minaj OK,,,, who cares about the rest of the group? & somehow they still get the most coverage….. The Industry all backwards

  20. mike says:

    finally i like this song.

    OVER is dope

    peace

    his album will be a great moment for this new generation

  21. dman says:

    wow what the fuck talk about post hypage

  22. llll says:

    @ Will…..well, let me explain, when u get in on a site like this, u read comments, thats why people put @ RIGHT?u replayed for like 3 commentators right now….don’t u think its not weird to read comments, see what people are saying, look i’m only saying for ur health man, don’t act strong behind the screen, i can be all thug with u, plus, u should really stop the succing dick thing, its old people are done with it, people will disrespect u, stupid people still saying it because they think they shut other people’s mouth wit it, hahha, ur so fucked up man, i don’t what age are you, but people have found way more ways to hate and disrespect others behind their screen!!stop being a dumb….as for the song i didn’t say i can judge it by 14 seconds, but any mothafucka coulda tell the whole thing was gonna sound like that, i mean its his first single!!

  23. imjustsayin says:

    @will
    yea but it does show how many ppl are paying attention to you.. when people begin paying attention to you ” this dude gotta be doin somethin right” like i said….the fact that people are let down shows that the expectations were high, i mean what standards are people positioning him at…all im saying is im satisfied.

    and honestly u right its not hatin when niggas is speaking on ther own opinion. but is goin over board acting like its the worst record ever,and his carrer is doomed..and yes i still think this shit is tite it deserves a 8/10 imo

  24. Cant think of one... says:

    drake sounding way too much like wayne everytime a new song come out…………..no lie.
    U can hear wayne in that.

  25. mike says:

    ONE HUN1D S00N

  26. mike says:

    DRAKE – “THANK ME LATER… for the carter4

  27. over is song of the year says:

    hot shit good record lyrics on point you acting like he raps like waka flacks

  28. Will says:

    @imjustsayin

    So you saying 50 cent selling 160 k 1st week means he doing something right you saying John mayer Saying Nigger in Playboy is doing something right thats what Im getting at both of those things are both negative things that got alot of comments neither of them niggas were doing the right promotion and it got alot of comments

    im not saying its the worst record but the fact That uptown Money to Blow or Killer wasnt his 1st single its a let down when you hear Uptown you like this nigga got a better song then Uptown he wanna release as his single and this shit is not better than Uptown

    Its Mediocre IMO i said it was average at 1st but after that 3rd listen its not a good song not when I been off of UKNOWBIGSEAN and teh Warmup for the past couple of weeks this shit isnt a good song when you been listening to the Wamrup for the Week

  29. MC says:

    You gotta respect the fact he didn’t go the generic route…Best I Ever Had was his ‘In Da Club’…I’m still not a fan…i just appreciate his talent in a time when niggaz are sayin it’s corny to be lyrical

  30. amazinace says:

    NO…I SWEAR HE THE NEXT CAN-I-BUS WITH ALL THAT HYPE. DO YALL REMEMBER?

  31. pEPETO says:

    Fuck this nigga is like a every rapper in the beggining they record good shit and when thet get the paper they record bullshit !!! Back To Fab !!! Fuck Drake !!!!!

  32. mac DIESEL says:

    THE SHIT IS WEAK!!!! WIT ALL THIS HYPE, HE’S THE NEXT BIG THING N SHIT THIS WAS PRETTY WEAK!!!! U COULD TELL CASH MONEY/UNIVERSAL/WAYNE/BABY/EVERYBODY IS TELLIN’ WUT THIS NIGGA TO DO!!!! U COULD TELL HE HAD NO INPUT ON HIS OWN ALBUM!!!! ALL HIS RECORDS SOUND THE FUCKIN’ SAME!!!! NIGGA SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE WAYNE WIT HIS FLOW N THAT AUTOTUNE BULLSHIT!!!! AUTO TUNE??!! FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!! IF I WAS A DRAKE FAN I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! BUT WIT SAYIN’ THAT, I STILL THINK HE GOT POTENTIAL TO GROW AS AN ARTIST!!!! BUT HE AIN’T GONNA DO IT BEING ON CASH MONEY!!!! HE’S LIMITING HIS POTENTIAL!!!! HE’S GETTIN’ PAID BUT HIS SKILLS IS NOT PROGRESSIN’!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  33. Aaron says:

    I dont dislike it…..

  34. caique says:

    fuck drake this nigga cant rap. all u dick riders dat like this song
    dunno shit bout rap. this is soome corny shit. hes just another kanye west a fukin waste of time.
    i dont know how pple like this guy. he aint a real rapper. dis kind of shit is detroying hip hop.
    rap is bout lyrisism, flow etc…. not some corny shit like this. fuck drake.

  35. SilkCityP says:

    Disappointing! The best part of the song to me is the beat on the hook portion of the song…. Auto-Tune wack, Hook Wack, Beat during verses wack…. Thumbs Down from me

  36. imjustsayin says:

    @Will
    yes it does mean ther doing something right by what they have accomplished in ther carrers for you to even care about the sate of ther career and how its going… if something really dosent matter to you then you wont react to it

    but i here where your coming from..but we got different opinions so well never agree with each other.. because i disagree that “uptown Money to Blow or Killer” shoulda been his 1st single..old ass money to blow would be too club booty shaking stereotypical killer wouldnt have been played on the radio and uptown is too old

    to me this was perfect big and epic…it reminds me of big thangs poppin something just to get me hyped for the album something to say im comin

  37. B says:

    its just okey..

  38. toad3527 says:

    a tad bit dissapointing on first listen but i’m sure his album will still be a fiery classic

  39. Will says:

    @MC

    I cosign 100% when all we have is O Lets Do iT and Bed Rocc on The radio you appreciate shit like this but I just got on this J.Cole Cat and Sean Been Releasing that heat just never really apreciated it until I heard Drake Shit

    MC its good rap out there my dude you just gotta find that shit and the radio is a spot it isnt going to be thats why I gave Drake the benefit of the doubt becuz when the CD in yo car is scratched or your Ipod shit is getting worked on his shit is the best shit on Radio period I mean Have you guys Heard that bullshit Tik Tok song by that white Girl and ALl I DO Is Win man That shit Make Drake Look like Fuccing Andre 3000 of radio

  40. Mattyboy says:

    Dude is corny to me but the BEAT is nasty. If he is the leader of the new school of rap I’m afraid of the future. In the 90s this style of rap music wouldn’t be tolerated.

  41. V says:

    This must be a street single.. right ?

  42. Rome says:

    Beat during verse is trash. the hook sucks, but the beat during the hook is hot.

  43. Will says:

    @imjussayin

    Im was saying he couldve released Money To Blow and Uptown as his single and drop the album bacc then but the fact he put everybody thru all this waiting and thats his best its a big let down

    and yea we would have to disagree becuz I hated Big Things Poppin that shit was a let Down But You Know What it is Was beyond Hotter

  44. rrahha says:

    i don’t get it…i don’t see the big deal. lol. I guess i appreciate the grind. He’s not ill like that…i mean what is it? the Cosigns? He had a few songs on that mixtape. But is that all it takes nowadays?!

  45. BTK says:

    This is wack as fuck. I first played it and I heard the chorus in the beginning and I was like this might actually be good. But then the shitty verse beat came on. The beat switches from good to shit

  46. lostme says:

    I feel bad for the guy and J Cole is in a better position then him (not talkin bout label isht ) what I mean is that money has been SO hyped up that if he don’t come with anything less then 10/10 it’s a wrap contrary to J Cole who has had to climb step by step and has less expectations and pressure than Drake. Oh yeah I don’t think that Thank Me Later will transition to a classic like GRODT did (this is based on the buzz comparisons)

  47. IMjusSAYIN' says:

    damn. cant believe how INCREDIBLY AVERAGE that joint is?
    There are A MILLION PEOPLE who will argue otherwise but THIS PROVES THAT DUDE IS ALL HYPE! How you say? That’s easy. I’ll tell you:

    The amount of hype behind this dude was so absolutely incredible that he was afforded ABSOLUTELY ZERO ROOM FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN INCREDIBLE on this album, ESPECIALLY the first song.

    I’m rootin’ for the guy, but this track is just…..ok.

  48. D!A!E says:

    this is a mixtape single. WHACK!

  49. Toya says:

    Not feeling this song but I can’t pass judgement on the whole album over one song. The next single might be better.

  50. Dito says:

    For all the HATERS who are saying this is AVERAGE…when did you start listening to DRAKE? When he was with Wayne? So far gone?

    I am sure when you hear Drakes first mixtake you guys would prolly hate on that also,
