Theres becomes a point in any elite artist's career in which other artists who have hit the peak, and are a sinking ship in denial, will request them to feature on their new song. This is done pure and simply because they know people will go to the effort to listen just because of the big name feature. In recent times it has been David Guetta, every old/dead artist e.g. Kelly Rowland, Flo Rida, Usher etc. Who have all been incredible in their moment but just not anymore. They have gone to him to produce a song that will get their name being chucked about again. Before that was and is lil Wayne. I think this may just be the start of Drakes time. He's released two massive albums and probably has the biggest buzz around.
Mary J. Blige is trying to get back in the industry and what better way than to link up with the biggest name in it? Drizzy! Take a listen...

In my eyes, the song consists of one sick verse from a rapper, then followed by a poor song, similar to 'Motivation' by Kelly Rowland Ft. lil Wayne...

In my eyes, some artist have got to accept their time, I've got nothing against fighting for something but some of these are just poor poor attempts in my eyes.

Jay-Z Paints The Sky Blue
After the very recent birth of Jay-Z's and Beyonce's first child, a little girl named Ivy Blue. Jay-Z has already released a song dedicated to the little one, named 'Glory'. Which if you haven't heard yet, listen now...

You really get the feeling that after the birth of his first child, he already has taken a step back and seen the bigger picture. From the song, Jay talks about their previous miscarriage and his lack of an relationship with his own father. It's a deep lyrical song with a real mellow vibe. Nothing negative to it. I would say this song is an iconic moment in hip hop history at all, but I would say it's an iconic moment for Jay-Z history, a song where even in 5, 10 or 20 years time he will look back at. A song in which other fathers may be able to relate too, and thats what music is all about right?
