Music

For me the biggest news in Music is the pending releases of Eminem's album and Drake's album. These two are perhaps the biggest stars in hip hop right now because of Lil Wayne's incarceration. Any Em fan knows that he is spitting hot fire lately. His "Despicable Freestyle" on Drake's Over and Beamer, Benz, Bentley is certifiably certifiable. He killed Drake's first single like no one else and believe me MAny others tried. His first single of Recovery is Not Afraid a a Lose Yourself esk track that I would give a 6 or 7. Not great but does the job. The second track that has leaked is a collab with Pink, I know Pink?? His verses on this track are pretty solid and Just Blaze provides a rock type beat that he rips up. I am excited for his album to release and know that it will be a level above Relapse.

Drake on the other hand has an album that will not stop leaking. I have 7-8 songs from his album already. My favorite being his collabs with Jay-Z entitled "Light Up" and Alicia Keys titled "Fireworks". Now regardless of what I think this will be one of the biggest Rap debuts in history. I am not as gaga for Drake as MAny of my friends but I respect his skills and will probably download the rest of his album once it leaks. I just wish the MAn would stop singing, I want him to be a rapper and not a singer. I have always had a problem with the album title because it MAkes a fan like me expect a classic album and classic don't have room for songs like the one he has with The Dream, Shut it Down, which just isn't anything special at all. Some people see me as being over critical or too harsh on Drake but the MAn talks a big game and I expect big results. Now here is a list of new songs to check out.
