I have to admit I didn’t believe in Drake anymore. An artist of his hype was getting pulled in so many directions. The Mainstream wanted him , The Hood wanted him , the underground (the crowd that supported him first) lost faith in him.
Drake believe it or not still has to prove himself. Can he make a body of work that matches “So Far Gone”.
I cant deny Drakes talent an eloquent speaker , his delivery is superb and he can sing. Artists in today’s industry have to be able to do so much to be marketable. Ever since Drake got exposed to the masses I was pissed. Drake belonged to “us”.
US?
Yes “us” the people that appreciate real-music , the people that actually go out and look for new shit, the people that don’t wait for shit to come on the radio and deem it a HIT.
We found Drake somewhere between October & So far Gone , and we introduced him to everyone. We were happy that we were on some shit that nobody else was. People would say ,“Who the hell is Drake?”
Then here comes “Best I Ever Had”. The song that single handedly catapulted Drake into an overnight phenom. Mainstream radio played the song over and over. Those people that sold him out were now on the street corners screaming “you the best I ever had , best I ever had , best I ever had” . In Philly we call it the Power 99 crowd, the radio people! (These are the people that don’t know who is who unless they are on the Radio. )
Drake started making song after song ,some I liked , some I didn’t. Drake was in everyone’s conversation and “us” we felt betrayed. We lost something during that time. Will Drake give what “we” had back to us? Will Drake remember the art that got him here in the first place? Only time will tell.
This New track is great and I think Drake understands what we knew all along!
Congratulations Drake.
