Drake's Song Too Good

Drake's highly anticipated and unnecessarily hyped album has dropped, and it is disappointing when comparing it to his previous work. This follow up to his mixtape, if you’re reading this it's too late, is an emotional and spacey project, with drake seemingly riding the horse of fame to make his music.

Drake is the greatest rapper of 2010-2017. He has been nominated for many awards like the Grammys. He is also famous on social media etc. Because of that and his quality of music everyone should listen and download his music.

The song called “Hotline Bling” is sung by Drake because his phone is constantly ringing like a “hotline.” The phone will forever ring because of fame and fans. In this song alliteration, nonstandard, and rhyme are being used. This song interest people just because of what he is saying and the way he is putting it.

The melody is not upbeat, like most other hip-hop or rap songs, which makes the listener hear

In order to understand hip-hop dance, it is important to recognize hip-hop music and where it came from. Many scholars of rap music relate the founding of rap to African and African American oral and musical traditions, specifically African griots and storytellers. They link the rhythm of rap to the use of drums in Africa and to African American music in the United States, from slave songs and spirituals to jazz and R&B. Scholars have found very interesting connections between rap music and Black nationalist traditions (traditions historically practiced by black people that serve as part of their racial identity). Rap is similar to the “call and response of the black church, the joy and pain of the blues, the jive talk and slang of the hipsters and jazz musicians, the boasting of street talk, the sidesplitting humor of comedians, and the articulateness of black activists.” All of these African American oral traditions, including rap, can be traced back to West African oral traditions. In traditional African societies, the spoken word and oral culture included poetry, storytelling, and speaking to drumbeats. The links between rap music and African American oral and musical traditions demonstrate that hip-hop music represents more than just sound. It represents history. This aspect of it, in my opinion, makes this type of music very unique and makes it carry more value.

To their surprise, Drake won't budge. I personal like this song, because most people in the world will look you right in your face and smile but inside they're the people who don't want you to succeed in life. Then we've the people that will tell you, you'll never be nobody. But you as a person you can't let people stop you from succeeding in life, and once you've met your goal, you've to prove them wrong that tried to bring you down, and didn't believe in you that you're somebody, and you can do anything that you set your mind to do. Nobody can stop you from doing what you want to do. This song is basically proving people wrong and that's why I personally like this

The song quickly grew popularity on the mixtape “So Far Gone”, which was Drakes third mixtape released February 13th, 2009. Being the top mixtape of all modern music, hit the charts with significant success on billboards top-100. Following the release of the mixtape, a notorious bid war started between two record labels for the artist to contract with. Young money record label, had won the upcoming artist.

Did you know that a very famous rapper came from a broken home? Drake knows exactly what it is like. Drake is a very talented songwriter. In his songs he writes about his personal life. Drake has a rare lifestyle from a very early age to now having a busy career. He loves what he does, so he loves every moment he is either on stage or helping others.

Drake's new album called “Views” extremely caught my attention. This album had numerous exceptional songs that I could easily relate to. I connected to this album better than some of his other albums that were produced such as “So Far Gone” and “Room For Improvement” because this album had more diversity. For instance, in this album, he put a lot of his thoughts into it but he also put logic. “Views” was the fourth studio album by Drake and was also supported by five billboard singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla" and "Too Good", which are some of my favorite tracks from this album. I absolutely love this album because it shows the struggles that Drake has faced emotionally and it gives us the ability to connect to

Drake first hit the rap world back in 2009 with hits like Best I Ever Had and Take Care. These releases quickly rose to the top of Billboards

The concept of being hyped up is a huge must in the hip hop world, people love the feeling of being hype and being motivated and drake takes that and molds it into his album. Drake is known for his singing and using his vocals even though being a rapper, that aspect of drake really separates drake from other rappers to point where rappers are becoming like drake. Drake manages to make you feel emotional using lyrics and diction that are amazingly great. In the song Hotline Bling drake sings about how he left his city and his love to come back to see that she has moved on. Drake says “ever since I left the city you got a reputation for yourself now everybody knows it I feel left out.” saying that everyone knows her except drake who should know her better. Drake also makes us dance, in a tropical vibe song called one dance drake uses drums and his majestic vocals to make a song your body cannot refuse. The song took the nation by storm and really elevated the album to another level and it gained respect from his peers. Another song on views called controlla had the same vibes as one dance, but has more of a romantic feeling to it that also attracts to the youth. Most people like to music that involves being loyal and that has a good tempo to it that can be danced to, drake takes that into perspective and

Perhaps the best thing about Badlands is the way the music itself is creatively put together and produced. For example, through the use of sound effects in her music, Halsey makes the songs come to life in a way that completely immerses the reader in her world. In the song “Drive,” she uses the sound of a car’s engine starting, a seatbelt alarm, and tires revving on a road to add dimension. In “Castle,” the crashing noise of metal on metal can be heard, giving the song an urban feeling, and in “Young God,” she records herself saying: “Forever cursed in love are the observant. Forever a slave to the detail,” and plays it backwards, giving the beginning of the song a very ethereal feeling. Another example of genius music is in the use of musical

For twelve weeks Blurred Lines was at the top of the Billboard 100 charts and could be heard thumping from speakers everywhere. Sung by Robin Thicke and featuring prominent rappers T.I. Harris and Pharrell, this track was proclaimed the anthem for summer 2013 . At the surface the song is seemingly harmless with a cheery rhythmic beat and catchy lyrics, but when examining the song and accompanying music video, Blurred Lines is anything but harmless. Dubbed “that rape song” by many discerning listeners, Blurred Lines is a song about the blurred lines of consent. With gems such as “You’re an animal, just let me liberate you” and “I’ll give you somethin’ big enough to tear yo ass in two” featured throughout the song it is astonishing how

I chose to write about the song Tuscan Leather. I love the recklessness rhymes and epic changes of the beat and most importantly the realness Drake portrays. I believe it is one of the greatest tracks in hip pop/rap history. It was written by David Foster, Linda Thompson, Noah Shebib and the legend himself Drake. Noah “40” Shebib produced this track featured on Drake’s third studio album “Nothing Was the Same” that was recorded in Toronto and released in 2013.

Blurred Lines is a popular summer song that is constantly played on the radio. A song like “Blurred Lines” should not be played on public radio. A big problem with “Blurred Lines” is that it attempts to normalize disrespectful behavior towards women. Robin Thicke teamed up with rapper T.I. and singer-producer Pharrell to deliver arguably this summer’s most popular song. The song “Blurred Lines” has placed number one on the billboard hot 100 and has sold over one million copies. Critical reception of the track is mostly positive. Yet with the success comes a not so positive response. When first listening to the song a person might find themselves nodding your head to a catchy tune, but perhaps once a person listens closely to the lyrics some people may not want this song on their iPods.
