Drake - Fireworks (ft. Alicia Keys)


Drake - Light Up (ft. Jay-Z)

No one can say Drake's album lacks any star power on it. From production by Kanye West, Timbaland and Swizz Beats, to features from Jeezy, TI, The Dream, Lil' Wayne, and now, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, Drake might as well just have called the album 'Drake & Every Mainstream Artist Sing About Getting Money and Being Fresh', not 'Thank Me Later'. Whether or not that fact is to Drake's detriment is beyond me at this point. What I do know, is that by the time the album drops, we might have heard every track with the way leaks are coming in. I try and keep myself from posting the wack ones, but the better verses somehow find their way to my ears and I can't help it. Today, we got the untagged and CDQ versions of Fireworks and Light Up. Both of them are vintage Drake with thoughtful lyrics and less immature themes. Drake and Alicia sound pretty good together on wax, while Jay murks Wheelchair Jimmy on his own track. One thing I notice is how much this guy Drake is singing. It's getting really annoying that he substitutes a lack of good hooks with mediocre singing. It just doesn't work all the time. I still can't tell whether the album is going to be good or not. Right now it's kind of forgettable. Sure we'll be bumping it all summer, but there just seems to be a big storm of hype around Drizzy that the music isn't keeping up with. Check the two songs that have some replay value so far...
