New Music: Drake x The-Dream “Shut It Down”
Sunday, March 21 2010 7:00 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Music
Drizzy and Dream slow it down here with their collaboration from Thank Me Later. Pardon the annoying ass sample clearance only drops, but this will have to do for now. Hopefully a tagless version surfaces soon.
UPDATE: Someone named Travie did the honors.
UPDATE #2: With more bars added, this is what you’ll hear June 15th





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
I CANT EVEN LISTEN WITH THAT TAG,LOL. I GUESS DRIZZY KINDA IS STAYIN ON TOP OF THIS PROJECT LEAKING
You know… I’m kinda glad “Over” was the first single instead of this now :~…..
Not saying this is bad, but… This really isn’t first single worthy….
But neither is “Over” but… well… I’m done explaining… -_-
yaaaaaaaawn
garbage….I won’t be buying this garbage album….If I wanna listen to R&B am a go buy R.Kelly Album.
the “sample clearance only” dude BODIED this
Drake will be a flop, he has now areas to reach to for inspiration in writing, no personal experiences to look back on that would be worth writing about, not long back he said he studies Nas & others……well stay studying my dude, you won’t be him.
THIS JEW NIGGA DRAKE SOUNDING LIKE J. HOLIDAY ON THIS SHIT!!!! BUT THIS SHIT IS GARBAGE!!!! THE HOV JOINT GON BE STRAIGHT FIRE THOUGH, BELEEE THAT (BABY VOICE)!!!!!!
FUCK THE JUDAS OF THE WORLD!!!!
no areas** , my bad.
let we hear the album soon
that’s all about an album
wait and hear, yes!
How does anyone even consider this guy a hip hop artist!
First name greatest, last name ever? – SAYS WHO
This guy is wack. I hope he flops – def doesn’t deserve an em collabo
MORE LIKE LAST EVER, FIRST NAME LAMEST!!!!! IF THIS DUDE WANTS ANY LONGEVITY, I SUGGEST SWITCHING THE STYLE UP!!!!
FUCK THE JUDAS OF THE WORLD!!!!
J.Cole>Drake Any Day Of The Week. The Warm Up>So Far Gone. So Far Gone Was Spotty As Hell The Warm Up Is Classic Front To Back With Hardly Any Guest Features, It’s Fucked Up Cole Is Gonna Have To Stand In Wheelchair Jimmy’s Shadow When He Is So Much Better Than Him. Cole Has Held His Own With Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, & Jay Electronica Who Has Drake Held His Own With “Lil Wayne”???? Not Saying Drake Is Wack But He Is “So Far Overhyped” Sorry…
Drake doin’ his thing on this song. But I agree. J.cole, nipsey hussle etc. body this nigga. Sorry. On another note: Nujabes died?! WTF
I dont why ya hating he is keep hip hop on top right now, if you cant appreciate good music shut the hell up and go sit down.. “First name greatest, last name ever?” its called confidence.. is he suppose to say…. “i guess im ok” fucking retards
J. COLE IS THE FUTURE, BROTHA IS SMART, A RAW TALENT AND UNDERSTANDS LONGEVITY!!!! THIS JEW NIGGA DRAKE CONSIDERS HIMSELF A “LEGEND” FOR A COUPLE OF COLLABORATIONS!!! JUST LIKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE, TAKE IT SLOW!!!! REMEMBER EASY COME EASY GO!!!!!!
FUCK THE JUDAS OF THE WORLD!!!!
HOV THE G.O.A.T
DRAKE THE FUTURE
THE ROC CHAIN IS BACK SUCKERS
not bad
Hip-Hop heads are fuckin douchebags. I grew up deejaying and breaking but when it comes to the music people contradict themselves. Something isn’t “real hip-hop” when it abides by the principles. Drake actually talks about a lot of human emotions without being annoying like Atmosphere, yet somehow he’s wack. The guy’s not Nelly (and if he were so what?). The older you get, the less you’ll wanna hear someone’s punchlines and more enjoy the energy of the song and the melody
Man I just don’t think this is a good sign of things to come…
This isnt necessarily, “Bad..” but come on, this is just more proof that Drake isn’t a Hip-Hop artist…he’s got songwriting skills and a good eye for melody…but when he’s constantly exploiting the “Dream” side of his skills, it does nothing to prove to me that he is what “They” say he is (a “top 5 lyricist” the new fresh prince, etc etc)
Im still optimistic about the album:
Rap Radar already ran a story about “thank me later” that I featured here:
http://hypothesisspits.com/2010/03/12/drakes-thank-me-later-already-described-as-an-instant-classic/
How u figure drake considers himself a legend… dude been out since 05 & J cole been out since 07.. thats 2 more yrs of experience… Drake got hot bc of ppl in the streets…. J Cole better than Drake??? You Fucking Crazy
Not even listening to this, that sample clearance shit doesn’t make the track listenable… i’ll wait for the CDQ
Its aiight! Something for the ladies
@ MAY THE LORD STRIKE WACK RAPPERS WITH LIGHTNING
“last name ever, first name lamest” hahahahahahahahahahaha, agreed!
Drake PLEASE STICK TO RAPPING…
Heard this yesterday, dope stuff, i wish no failure on no man, i hope he has continued success, God bless
I actually think he might kill himself (career suicide) by playing both fields. For some reason (machine push) he’s perceive a great lyricist, but this R&B thing at the same time might not be acceptable.
Before you bring up Lauryn Hill she was more talent that a great lyricist, but it work for but doesn’t mean it will automatically be accepted as her case. As you can see many people feel he overrate and get hate for it (the hate sometimes are just resistance when the public disagree with a “push” from the machine)
We’ll see.
Wow… I just dont think i can like this, i like rnb more than the next guy but “Dude?” And Drake, word of advice, put out 3 rap albums before you “try” this shit, Dont get it twisted, i want to like all of Drake’s stuff, but at these sircumstances, its TOO damn hard
i neva understood so far gone hype.. this track sounds like smethng from that mixtape nd yall dont like it? nd some are sayin “this aint rap” like they didnt kno he sings on 50% of SFG.. Im confused lol but imo Dream fckd it up.. He sounds like a girl
i get it…Thank Me Later will be So Far Gone pt. 2. and since i wasn’t impressed with so far gone, i can see why i’m not impressed with this shit either.
maybe the ladies will eat this up. his obsession with women is odd though. that’s all this nigga talks about it seems. eh, whatever. good luck nigga
@mmkay, the dream sounds like a fucking sissy. it’s revolting. whining ass christopher robin ass nigga.
i love|hate leaks
^lol
actually i take that back.. Im not confused.. Yall are confused lol
I’ll listen to it when someone deletes that annoying tag.
Damn, anything Drake related stay gettin alot of comments lol. Not a fan but its pretty easy to see that dude is gonna sell sum records whether the music is top notch quality or not. *shrugs*
@WHY HATE?
first of all…irony with ur name…cuz u hatin nigga….but i’ll explain
Drake’s a legend because he’s one of the few that’s gotten this HUGE amount of buzz before his debut album even dropped. He got nominated for 2 grammys without an album out. Has never happened before. Only him, 50 & Snoop had this much buzz when they came out. (50 had the most, IMO)… so technically, he’s gunna be well known for awhile… he’s not legendary status like Em, snoop, 50, dre, jay, nas, rakim, etc. but he’s legendary in the fact that he’s done something that no one has done before……. which is kind of a double edged sword, this dude can come out to huge numbers like 50 did, then drop off….. Someone like Jay (11 #1 albums in a row) only comes around once in a lifetime
@blakout615 Haha, I know: Drake’s buzz is ridiculous…I’m def interested to see how the 1st week #’s will turn out…his #’s for the So Far Gone release were insane.
Everyone seems to easily forget that Drake has been in the entertainment industry since 2001.
The Dude was on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
He had an agent signing checks over to his parents way before he signed to Young Money.
He had millions of teenage fans before Wayne even knew what autotune was…
He might work hard, but on Wax—Drake acts like we should respect his hustle as if he had the same path to fame as Jay-Z.
@koa29
never put 50 & Drake in the same sentence douchbag…there never be a rapper that gonna impact the rap game the way 50 did.
Oh my god..fucking TRASH.The 2 songs i have heard from his album sucks
@hypo
I see what you mean, but i look at it this way..
Jay’s rise to fame…he came from the projects, had a hard life, etc… That’s the classic rap artist come up. Easily accepted by people because of their hard life.
Drake on the other hand is a half-black jewish kid who was on a teenage TV show…… and he’s being accepted by top hip hop artists & the mainstream? that’s crazy…. it just doesnt happen…and the dude’s music is dope enough to have that done… so u gotta show him some respect for actually being able to break through that stereotype.
I don’t really care about these dude’s lives….only thing that matters to me is that they put out dope music. If they dont…. on to the next one. and drake’s dope imo
@psycho
easy……I 100% agree with u… i’m just sayin, their buzz is SOMEWHAT comparable…. dont cut my head off bruh
@koa29 how am i hating, i said exactly wat u said in shorter words
wack shit i hope it dont make the album
Fall for your type>shut it down
lmao @ niggas who obviously hate drake taking the opportunity to enforce it on the world by crucifying a track you can barely hear
can anyone actually tell if this is good or bad? lmfao @ the interwebs :p
@RapMusic23 wat 2 songs did u hear?? cuz if u heard “over” & “fall for your type” and they are garbage to u.. u need help.. STR8 FIRE…
Drake speaks relevant stuff but ya cant appreciate that.. seems like a nigga gotta rap about a fantasy life for ya to think hes hot .. the nigga is an artist not a rapper (@koa29 is speaking real shit)
^^I can, it sucks
@koa29
def agree that Drake’s acceptance in the music industry has been groundbreaking..
Drake is truly the FIRST Artist to achieve fame based on using social-networking, online media, and other digital industries to establish themselves as an artist.
Soulja-Boy was the first good example of the new age of music that we live in, but I think the public has taken Drake way further because, lets be honest, talent wise – you can’t really compare Soulja Boy and Drake.
I’ve thought Drake’s a rapper… What a Fuck is this?
You can get this track with no tags here : )
