  14. Kali says:

    maybe in a parallel universe.Haha

  15. the brain trust says:

    This dude said ‘give these niggas the look, the verse, even the hook. That’s why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake’

    Damn! Drake back with a vengeance on this one.

    A relentless barrage of quotables.

  26. PharaohIzzy says:

    Dick riders galore! Nothing special and nothing to see here folk

  27. frank says:

    hate drake but it has to take a very very very great hate to say this is wack……..5 star

  28. Oz says:

    This shot is so hard, you see I got this theory when someone is talented and the masses want to push them to do the best work they hate on them which adds fuel to the fire then the artist responds with the desired product and this is that

  29. Schoolboy Q says:

    Drake is eating

  30. TROLLING says:

    LMAO DRAKE STILL TALKING LIKE HES A THUG.. FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU AINT SHOOTING NOBODY

  31. lolQ says:

    the song is pretty good but he can’t do what Nas, Kendrick or other rappers do.
    He should include chorus in his songs because as a rapper, Drake is not that huge !
    good song nonetheless

  32. Zeerax says:

    @lolQ

    Yeah I agree.
    Drake isn’t a very good rapper, he really needs hooks on his song because his hook game = his signature

  33. watdeywant says:

    yea we went in. but b hayes the pimp gets the last laugh

  34. Foreign luccini says:

    Hottest rapper under 30 in the game!!!

  35. LA says:

    Drake beasting on this one right here.

  36. potofOr says:

    He needs singing, he can’t really rap.

  37. REDHOT says:

    this shit hard

  38. INSITE says:

    beat is dope but all those words are so empty

  39. Starfox64 says:

    i feel like the weekend didnt write this..

  40. Dune says:

    Fire!! @Insite Words are so empty?? GTFOH!! Everything he said was real!

  41. wtf says:

    damn son nickelodeon raised hell of a hustla

  42. 2 Cents says:

    Man y’all need to gtfoh! He killed this shit . Like how the fuck can you hate on this? When he sings y’all got a problem with that. When. He raps y’all ain’t satisfied neither. Shit just don’t bother listening to his shit then.

  43. MadMike0082 says:

    How THE FUCK can you front and say Drizzy isnt the hottest that ever lived?!?!?!?!??!?! He does what he fucking wants but this hot niggerish shit is always under neath….

    DRIZZY SEASON NIGGA!!!!!!! WHOOOOOO!

  44. jaidynbooking says:

    Not that huge as a rapper but won a grammy over nas @IoI ,and @starfox64 name some one who could have went in like this or better because you guys dont know what the fuck rapping is

  45. TJP says:

    @jaidynbooking

    Have you heard Loco-Motive or Form Follows Function?

    They go in much harder than this without even trying, this is as hard Drake goes in and it is no-where near the two I mentioned.

    Nas had the album of the year but the Grammy’s are decided by mainstream artists, the awards don’t get given by ability. Come back when you know a thing or two.

  46. Da Business says:

    This nigga went in….

    Hottest rapper out, PERIOD!!!!!

  47. TheChef says:

    Like MTV and pitchfork said, Kendrick changed the game by releasing an uncompromised master piece that had massive commercial success.
    Now ,everybody wants to release “real” hip hop songs without going pop but Drake is better when he sings his chorus, he isn’t a good rapper at all.

  48. spqWny says:

    I agree, it was pretty good but the rapping is just average.

  49. f0rest says:

    good song but please drake, sing your chorus, you aren’t in the same league as the other good MCs

  50. HOVA says:

    Why is Drake doing this right now? #Murder

  51. mac DIESEL says:

    SOUNDS GOOD!!!! HE’S SPITTIN’!!!! WUT MORE DO U WANT???

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    1. B.Dot says:

      oh shit, even @mac DISEL hating ass approves. Hell has frozen over.

  52. Word says:

    DAMN! I can’t front, Drake went in on this! Good gawd! (am in Dallas was one of my favorite Drake songs at the time Thank Me Later came out too, so to hear this follow up. Drake is winning! Now Cole gotta drop some heat rock next. These two going neck and neck for this spring season.

  53. NoName says:

    The rapping isn’t very good to be fully honest.

  54. krazy says:

    he is trying to do like Kendrick, trying to release an uncompromised classic but drake can’t do what Nas, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem do without chorus/singing

  55. Anpn says:

    I enjoyed it lol.

    But yeah, the beat played a big role in this song, Drake should focus on his rap skill, I’m sure he’ll improve very soon.

    solid 7.5/10

  56. Evil says:

    Its ok,nothing more.Drake will never be a great rapper and thats a fact.He doesnt have what it takes,its as simple as that.Some people have it and some dont.Drake falls into the latter.

  57. It's the roc says:

    Filthy McNasty. Drake slaughters the whole game at will, and he’s supposed to be a singer

  58. troumAns says:

    Drake has serious rapping problems.
    Trash

  59. diamonds on my blocka says:

    AHH SICK

  60. j says:

    so people call drake a rob singer when he sings yet when he raps people are calling him to sing..? hate gets people confused. obv he aint on the level kendrick is on for rapping, like not many people are. drakes a good rapper, stay scheming ft proves this amongst other tracks. but the overall package drake brings is on a different level and he has done it from day one, i still bang so far gone to this day.

    i only fuck with drake, kendrick and nas right now, j.cole will bring it (maybe a$ap as well)

  61. Philly says:

    @DeezNutz ayo I been saying that forever, only niggas that matter and him ad Kendrick. They the best

  62. CM JUNK says:

    When its good its good…cant hate on this one at all!

  63. Shan Tha Man says:

    He needed a chorus and the best was mediocre at best. SFTB kills this mixtape drake. Carry on…

  64. Black Shady says:

    I love this type of shit from Drake. stuntin on ’em hahahaha

  65. Original Ty says:

    Drake definitely showed his pen game for what the song is about, which is really nothing specific. Just spittin’ whatever, which is cool. I enjoyed a lot of his lines.

    Let’s be real though, there was a little bit lacking in delivery. He got a little off beat a couple of times. A lyrical perfectionist (Like Jay was at one point) would have done another take to correct those flaws and to get a little more comfortable on the beat. He didn’t even do a lot of his patented ad libs cause he clearly had written himself into a couple of corners with the beat. Small criticism for good song but some of yall say “Best ever” and “Perfection” way to quickly these days. He’s really good, that’s enough for now.

  66. stuart scotts eye says:

    Drizzy back at it…”fuck your list everything’s lookin gorgeous “

  67. quese says:

    Not impressed he murdered 9am in Toronto this uh…… I dnt remember 1 quotable bar

    sounds something NAS would only destroy!

  69. stuart scotts eye says:

    “Fk them niggas this year I made forbes list nigga fk your list everythings lookin gorgeous”
    Drizzy back at itt

  70. poetic assasin says:

    I like when he does this to let cats no he can still rap- not touching Lupe but Drake gets busy.

  71. Dsunn says:

    This is very expected. All on his canadian dic n balls

  72. THE MAJESTIC NIGLET says:

    How THE FUCK can you front and say Drizzy isnt the hottest that ever lived?!?!?!?!??!?! He does what he fucking wants but this hot niggerish shit is always under neath….

    DRIZZY SEASON NIGGA!!!!!!! WHOOOOOO!

    ^^^

    ……….HA!!!!

    1. B.Dot says:

      @Mac DIESEL Hate? They artists u mentioned both have failed to live up to any hype.

      one is a fake crystal waters. The other just rhymes with no formed structure. Like niggas is bumping Earl Sweatshirt. FOH. HA!

  74. Stone says:

    He knows Eminem is bout to come out so he coming with A Game flows…nice… But we all know what’s gonna happen this year…………Fif, Em, Royce……..

  75. Kevin Baken says:

    Magic Johnson is to Jay-Z: as Michael Jordan is to Drizzy

  76. Collar Cali says:

    Expected…. the kid’s a beast… nuff said…

  77. Collar Cali says:

    Dayum… big statement @KevinBaken

  78. Playboy69 says:

    FIRE!…Drake carries YMCMB now NOT WAYNE!

  79. chan says:

    instead of going at mtv hottest mc list on a rant he releases this and proves why he should be number 1 or 2 at least

  80. M.T says:

    Boi-1da on the beat! Drake destroyed this track. Unreal.

  81. anonymous says:

  89. Free says:

    Lol when did folks become such experts on the ” illuminati”??? Too funny to me! How would you know if someone was part of it? Oh … Right Bc the Internet told you so. Smh. Smarten up. On another note, solid cut by Drake. He brings it. I do believe He’s the best @ what he does.

  90. Donn says:

    When Drake drops a song you niggas press play. It’s that simple. U dont press play for every other nigga but be honest u couldn’t wait to hear some new Drake

    Shit is so chillll….. DOPE!

  94. Yamzz says:

    drake is a good rapper and better than 90% of todays mainstream people….but he is being promoted as hard as jay z was in his prime so therefore I must judge on the same scale which ultimately means this is just average i guess…no rhymes in there that really made me take a second listen but its nice to hear someone just spit with no gimmick for once…its sad that nobody else on the top 10 “hottest” MCs list can just flow for a couple minutes…besides nas but hes in a different class

  95. hahaha says:

    He’s the best alive

  96. chillthrill says:

    true true,,he spittin,,more like ranting,,,lettin niggas have it,,beat is nice,,though,,,,when hes rhymes talking shit i dont like it,,,he need to keep rhyming for the bitches,,,,shit they paying,,for the music,,,basically,,,,

  97. Jungle says:

    This is hard Drake is nice period. However the hardware shoulda went to Nas for Life Is Good we all know that

  98. DJ Semtex's Prothsetic says:

    thats why every song sound like drake featuring drake, so true, nigga its comeback season and my homei drake gonna come back and f all u fake ass niggasss

  99. Shamba Menelek says:

    Yall act like he said something amazing. lol By no means is this whack but yall overzealous fans act like he’s a god Mc and hes not. All he did was rap a long ass verse but the bars are mostly average level.

    Yall got be some young ass niggas to be impressed by this. It aint whack but it aint spectacular either.

    @Jaidynbooking You really think cause Drake won a grammy over Nas, Lupe, and The Roots that means he’s a better MC? All three of them are better Lyricist..What are smoking. You can argue Drake makes better song/songwriter, or hooks but to say he’s a better MC is laughable.

  100. Ivy Blue Hov says:

    This nigga a jewnius!

  101. Ivy Blue Hov says:

    You can call out drizzy for whatever you want, god knows he got some fucknigga tendencies, but anyone who says he can’t rap is either a damn liar or a hater!

  102. pILLpusha says:

    This the Drake we need to hear more often! Dude can spit!

  103. Yamzz says:

    drake is a good rapper but he is promoted as hard as jay z was in his prime and thats what gets under peoples skin…hours after started from the bottom came out radios were already playing it like it was the greatest song ever..media dont even give the people a chance to decide if we like it or not they just force it on us until his songs get stuck in our heads…so if hes gonna get jay z promotion Im gonna rate him on the same scale as him which would make this decent at most…there wasnt any bars that made me have to replay it twice…but i must say it is good to see atleast one rapper that can go on a song and just flow with no gimmick to it…he might be the only rapper in the top 10 “hottest” MCs that can just go in for a couple mins…minus nas of course but hes in a diff class

  104. TheTruthIs... says:

    This is that Comeback Season flow…Finally

  105. yacht says:

    when kendrick drops a new song: “kendrick the best nigga in the game”
    when drake drops a new song: “drake the best nigga in the game”…….ya’ll hop on nuts so quickly

  106. JB says:

    Why he chose to release the Boi-1da-produced cut on this particular day? Well, that may have to do with where he placed — number five, to be exact — on MTV’s much-debated “Hottest MCs in the Game” list.

    It seems Drizzy felt he should have been placed higher. Or rather, he just doesn’t even care about the list at all. He’s beyond rap lists, to hear him tell it. He says as much on his new cut, spitting:

    “I swear, fuck them niggas this year/ I made Forbes list, nigga / Fuck your list, everything’s lookin’ gorgeous.”
    Elsewhere, he takes shots at the Weeknd, whom he’s seemingly had a falling out with.

    “I show love, never get the same out of niggas/ Guess it’s funny how money can make change out of niggas/ For real, some nobody started feeling himself/ A couple somebodies started killing themself/ A couple albums dropped those are still on the shelf/ I bet them shits would have popped if I was willing to help.”

    And there are thinly-veiled shots at Jay-Z:

    “I’m headed to the bank nigga/ Sinatra lifestyle, I’m just being Frank, nigga.”

    Addresses his beef with Chris Brown:

    “Bad press during the summer over allegations/ I ain’t lyin’, my nigga, my time is money/ That’s why I ain’t got time for a nigga who’s time is comin.”

    And his rumored romance with Rihanna:

    “Where you think she at when she ain’t with you?/ Wildin’, doin’ shit that’s way out of your budget/ Owl swe

  107. SaveHipHop says:

    Fuckinnnnnn murderddddddd

  108. Jacob says:

    this is a pretty cool site but need even more songs

  109. A Real Listener says:

    I guess this one song makes Drake the best rapper right now. (enter sarcasm here)

  110. kendrick and drake gotta do a non- love song together.. not taking anything away from poetic justice at all but i wanna hear both of em straight spittin like a minute and a half each just one hook in between verses whatttttttttttttt and joey badass whattttttttttttt

  111. Rhino says:

    I like the originality feel to this record. Seems like Drake got that right mix of humility and braggadocio that gives him a unique seat in MUSIC right now. Gotta respect his Co-Signs…i.e Bun-B, Wayne, add name here ____; I think his pedigree also makes for something needed on the larger scale scene as well. 5 Star gotta be happy with the people in the huddle, even though he still making more power plays on different courts.

  112. MJ says:

    Drake Kendrick and cole doin it for our gen

  113. Oj da Cornball says:

    I’m not gonna hate, but is still average rap, it’s good. nothing wack at all, but COME THE HECK ON, this is no amazing record for these stanish reactions.

    I warn you fluff boys to always measure lyrcal content versus 90’s and 2000’s MC cause no rapper/MC of today come close yet.
    Yeah, we pass the 90’s stuff, i agree, but skills wise nothing blew away yet.

  114. avarice says:

    This is really dope. Drizzy doesn’t know how to make wack music.

  115. avarice says:

    This is hot fire. Drizzy doesn’t know how to make wack music.

  116. Bstunna says:

    This shit was breaking necks in Harlem last night. After the cypher niggas was calling me like ” Yo i’m on youtube, what’s the name of that drake joint we was listening to earlier?”

    Everybody wanna be a critic, Man just fall back and watch what it do.

  117. Tyreze says:

    Drake > J cole
    On a lyrical and chorus writing ability
    J cole nice but Drake be having more life reality lines

  118. Mr.November says:

    new 9am in dallas lol, he gonna put it out how he want to unlike half these industry clowns. At least Drake keeps it real with the raps, even if he acts tough.. Its the testosterone. Hes better than most mainstream too.

  119. cbrooksw says:

    And all of the “Started From the Bottom” haters and “Drake, he fell off” sayers…sat down quietly and learned their lesson.

  120. J Whistles says:

    I think my ears are broken or im allergic to his sound because nothing he puts out is good in my opinion. I keep checking his shit because people wont shut up about him and Im just not hearing it.

  121. Musikal says:

    Nigga killed this shit. Beat nice as well.

  122. Beats1.com says:

    The song its dope. Drake it’s a beast, he gettin’ out only bangers. Keep pushin’ .Peace

    he is trying to do like Kendrick, trying to release an uncompromised classic but drake can’t do what Nas, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem do without chorus/singing

    ^^
    You measure success as having classics? Nigga gets money and is able to keep doing it. Isnt that why rappers put out music? Pretty sure he dont give a fuck.

    All niggas do is try to push a dude into the “he has to make a classic/win a ring” argument.
    Drake is the new LeBron.

    He makes one classic album (which no one would ever admit) and then theyll say he has to make 3 more. Then 3 more after that. Then become a billionaire or he aint shit. Yall gotta understand, for any rapper ( like J Cole and whoever else), putting out shit that everyone likes is impossible. Dont expect to like it, just expect it to be whatever he wanted to put out.

    Hell no. You can’t possibly be referring to Drake’s lyrical ability. Kendrick has Drake beat in that regard.
