Drake hype lyric update#
This update sees Popcaan’s part ditched in favour of a sample of Beenie Man’s ‘Tear Off Mi Garment’. The song first leaked online back in March, with the earlier version featuring a verse from Popcaan.
It’s Drake on auto-pilot, basically.ĭrakiest lyric: “I don’t need no pill to speak my mind, I don’t need that / I make people pay me for my time, yeah I need that” ‘Controlla’ĭrake doing dancehall, including a slightly dubious attempt at Jamaican Patois ( “I’m never on a waste ting shorty”). ‘Still Here’ sees Drake doing the hooks and the verses (Drake featuring Drake, if you will), while talking himself up and telling everyone how long he’s going to be around for. Now that’s a combo we never expected.ĭrakiest lyric: “That pussy knows me better than I know myself” Getty ‘Still Here’Ī slight dip in proceedings. The hook “Working, working, working, working, ain’t ya?” echoes his recent hit with Rihanna ‘Work’, while the opening combines the audio from an Amber Rose Instagram video and a posthumous verse from Southern rap legend Pimp C. While the previous song saw Drake moving on from a drugged-up, procrastinating ex, this offering sees Drizzy bemoaning a love interest that’s working too much to invest in their relationship. ‘Faithful’ is like the flip-side to ‘Feel No Ways’ that came earlier in the album. Just imagine what could have been if he had kept it.ĭrakiest lyric: “Mixing vodka and emotions, tapping into your emotions / Dry cry cause I’m hopeless” ‘Faithful’ ft. It’s unlucky really, as PartyNextDoor had penned the original reference track for Rihanna’s ‘Work’. It’s only when Jeremih links up for some harmonies at the end that potential is shown. ‘With You’ sees PartyNextDoor take the lead but, despite finally being given some more spotlight, the hook is easily forgettable. So far, he’s mostly played the part of back-up, appearing on album tracks from Drizzy’s previous efforts ‘Nothing Was the Same’ and ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’. PartyNextDoorįellow Canadian PartyNextDoor has always seemed on the verge of delivering one massive smash-hit since signing to Drake’s OVO Sound in 2013.
It’s like Drake’s version of the five stages of grief.ĭrakiest lyric: “Why do I want an independent woman to feel like she needs me?” ‘With You’ ft.
Please give me time”), in need of recognition ( “Certain people need to tell me they’re proud of me”), yet bitter and dismissive ( “Relationships slowin’ me down, they slow down the vision”) at the same time. He’s remorseful ( “I’m searchin’ for these words to say to you. ‘Redemption’ sees Drake confused and conflicted in a way that many are when seeking for some kind of solace. Drake settles scores and gets a whole lot of baggage off his chest in a one-verse take that stretches over four minutes.ĭrakiest lyric: “I’m happiest when I can buy what I want / Get high when I want” ‘Redemption’ The song’s titular ‘Weston Road’ is a street in Toronto that Drake grew up on, “back when we couldn’t buy pizza cause we were down to pennies”, and the track sounds equally nostalgic, with Drake rapping over a hazy sample of ‘Mary’s Joint’ by Mary J Blige.
Drake hype lyric tv#
Last year’s Meek Mill diss ‘Back To Back’ served far more effective at articulating exactly the same sentiments.ĭrakiest lyric: “Chasing women a distraction / They want to be on TV right next to me” ‘Weston Road Flows’ Taking ‘Hype’ on its own and it’s far from a Drake classic. “‘Views’ already a classic,” he claims while only five songs deep.
Lyrically, the song sees Drizzy drawing a line in the sand and swearing to move on from a parasitic ex, which – if you know Drake – isn’t always the easiest thing for him to do.ĭrakiest lyric: “There’s more to life than sleeping in / And getting high with you” ‘Hype’Īfter a run of some fairly reflective tracks, ‘Hype’ is Drake at his most boastful, taking shots at his rivals and bragging what he’s “done in my life”. The hi-hat smashing production comes courtesy of Jordan Ullman of Drake’s OVO signees Majid Jordan. Like ‘Hotline Bling’, but with a far more interesting beat.
