Drakes real sound

Like i said in a previous post, nobody has anticipated the release of 'Take Care' more than me! But not for the usual reasons, more than anything i wanted to see where Drizzy was going as an Artist. I remember back in November 2009 when Drake actually signed for Young Money and i can honestly say that I am a true fan of Drake, and i know its a cliche but his music really does inspire me. I also recall watching an interview with Drake in which he talks about what lil Wayne said to him when Drake signed the contract. Wayne told him to 'never change, be you! Tattoos and shit is me, that aint you. Dont change, do you and you'll succeed' and i guess what i am getting at is that Drake just does him. He talks life. He puts his life experiences, experiences we all go through day to day into song, which is why so many people love and relate to his music.

The song 'Over My Dead Body' from Take Care is about as close to Aubrey Drake Graham that we'll get. It is that and other songs like '9 AM in Dallas' 'Marvins Room' 'Fear' and 'Club Paradise' that really are Drake...

T-Pain and lil Wayne at it Again

After features from T-Pain on both The Carter 3 and The Carter 4 and Weezys features on Thr33 Ringz. The duo have been in the studio together once again to make another banger!

The new song called 'Bang Bang Pow Pow' has got a completely different feel to it than any of their other collabs together! Since T-Pain started to go over the top with auto tune I started to steer away from him, but he goes in hard on this! Back to his roots with lyrics like 'I do my thing, thing. Look At me Now, Now. Face Up. Ass Down'. Got a much more rap vibe to it. One of the hardest verses outside of the Carter 4 that lil Wayne has laid down too.

Drake 'Take Care'

The highly anticipated album 'Take Care' leaked just a week befor for it was due to be released, to my surprise Drake wasn't even phased by it. Since then, the album has been released and I mean as a personal thing, i have waited for this since the second i heard the last track on 'Thank Me Later' like i have literally been counting the days! Just to give you guys some insight in figures, here are the projections on sales for 'Take Care'. It's predicted to sell over 750,00 copies in its first week alone! The Carter 4 almost reached a million in its first week so the pressure is on!

I'd like to point out the another artist I Like called Mac Miller is under great threat, because even though i wouldn't put him in the same league as Drake, he has sucha buzz right now that it is going to be interesting who's album is going to take the top spot this week!

Busta Rhymes Signs With YMCMB

Busta Rhymes, famously known for his remix of 'Touch It' back in 2005 have now signed for the infamous and ever growing YMCMB label!
After his time at both Aftermath and Interscope records, my money is on that he has found his home for the rest of his career with the YMCMB family. Personally i put Busta as a write off a few years ago, but as of recent with his various features in a few big tracks, he's only moving forward...

His first single under the new label is due to release next week called 'Why Stop Now'. Busta has teamed up with Chris Brown and already you can feel the presence of Young Money in the instruemntal!!!
