Drake - Miss Me (ft. Lil Wayne)
Drake - Unthinkable (Remix) (w/ Alicia Keys)
As a Drake fan prior to So Far Gone, I have one serious beef with Aubrey. He wavers too much between the introspective, wise-beyond-his-years music, and the Young Money, Weezy-fied music. Sometimes you get music that you can listen to by yourself when you're chilling late at night (like I tend to do). Other times you get the bass-knocking, ride out to the club, kind-of-dumbed-down music that gets annoying 3 weeks later. Not that one is better than the other; it's just that one tends to stick out and stay relevant for much longer than the other (take a wild guess which it is). Today we get a dose of both. On 'Unthinkable' (Remix), Drake drops off a verse about the trying love life of someone immersed in hip-hop stardom, and shows us his more vulnerable side, before Alicia Keys takes over. On 'Miss Me' (which is a weird radio rip), he throws in easy punchlines and airy verses about marrying Nicki Lewinski, before Wayne comes in and does some trademark bars. The latter is probably going to be on 'Thank Me Later', though the former will definitely get spins long after I've memorized every sound on the latter (due to radio overkill). Whatever the case, enjoy both tracks...
