Drake ~ The Motto Featuring Lil Wayne & Tyga (Official Video) from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.
So, this is the official video for The Motto. Pretty cool. But I am wondering about the fashion choices though. Leopard print North Face jackets? Green boots? Uhm, to each its own. This is a pretty cool song, though. So, I will crank this up for all those that profile and pose.
No commentsDropping a few hours ago for all the screw heads out there. Jonny Shipes would love something like this. In actuality, this is the music that we would bang on those midwestern nights inebriated in the streets. People don’t understand, but they will soon enough.

No commentsI’m glad that they all understand that Drake makes soft boy music. No matter if you feel that it is, or is not, hip hop. It is still some soft music made for the masses. Now, what should be understood is that he is not for everybody. I personally enjoy his music no matter my opinion on it being a little out of my manly understanding (“Marvin’s Room” crafted to greateness. The subject matter? Leaves a lot to be desired for any man. Seriously. It is a hater song.). And yes, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is harder than Take Care. Keep it real.
Meanwhile, what really makes a classic album? Classic albums, to me, must be albums that people of both generations (experienced and inexperienced) listen to the album and truly understand that the music was so lush and exuberant that you will instantly understand WHY and HOW and know exactly what attracted them to the music. Yet, this is all based upon opinion. Also, like Jas stated, it is EXTREMELY important to know the artist’s catalog. It wouldn’t be fair to come in to listening to Jay-Z from Watch The Throne. You have to experience the artist’s catalogue to understand it fully.
That’s my take and I’m sticking to it.
No commentsBe ready: Drake's gonna be full of promethezene and Jolly Ranchers.
@CandleStickem and @OGRonC plan on chopping up Drake’s Take Care album. Before that, they decided to go in on some of the Toronto emcee’s earlier work. Peace to Hiphopatlunch.com for the hook up. Those guys over there never fail with the exclusives.

No commentsPersonally, I thought that the album that it was pretty good. Drake makes Drake music. Drake doesn’t understand that his music is highly emotional, though. Dead End Hip Hop Conglomerate (mostly) doesn’t care for the album for good reasons. Too much R&B for some. Too soft for others.
On another note, Marvin’s Room is a dope song. But the content is rather “b*tch made”. No man should drunk call his ex and diss the next guy. However, many males do this crazy stuff. Please note that you don’t call your ex and diss the man that got her now.
No commentsI’m throughly fascinated by Ceresia’s outfit. Directed by the very talented Joe Puma, the songstress/MC gives us her version of Drake’s popular single Headlines. Ceresia definitely holds her own in her rendition and i’m excited to hear more from her in the coming future. You can download/stream the single below!
No commentsWord on the street is that the bootleg version of Take Care leaked online. Maybe I will download it. Actually, I won’t. I will buy the album if I want to hear it in its entirety the same way I bought the first one. Regardless of that madness, please that note that this song is produced by Just Blaze. Oh, and it is a banger, by the way.

No commentsI think this is a nice trailer for his upcoming album. It showcases many accolades, accomplishments and opinions about Drake’s musical success. However, sometimes I wish people would think out their opinions before they come up with them. Echoes noted that “Drake right now is like how Snoop was in 93 and 50 Cent in 03″. Really? That statement is contrived to say the least and baseless to say the most. Drake is not responsible for a “classic” album yet, for one. Two, he is not dominating music like Snoop and 50 was. Not in radio play, influence, or record sales.
Sorry, but looking at it statistically, I don’t agree. ‘Nuff said and ‘Nuff respect.
No commentsAs we all know, 9th Wonder released his album The Wonder Years recently to rave reviews and nice independent sales. In this interview with 9th Wonder, there is a discussion on Raekwon, the validity of Mac Miller, and making beats for multi-platinum entertainment entities. As usual, 9th keeps it real with his southern charm.
No commentsInterview excerpt:
P31: It’s really special you’re the type of producer/artist that can work with the new school and the old school. You got the young cat Mac Miller on there, how do you feel about Mac and where he stands in the game?
9th: Better not nobody say a bad word about that dude man. Man, I blast people on twitter man. I might hit somebody in the face for saying something bad about Mac Miller man. Because he just breathes positivity, and I love positive people, and I hate negative people. Nobody is connecting with their fans the way he is, and it’s completely honest. He’s not trying to be anything he’s not, which is a bad epidemic in Hip-Hop; you got a whole lot of niggas lying. Doing things, and being things that they’re not because they think that gets them somewhere. Mac Miller is totally opposite. He’s from Pittsburgh, he loves Hip Hop, he likes to party at his shows, and his shows are incredible. I’m not on the Mac Miller payroll either, he don’t pay me to say this.
This is a nice song. Actually, it is quite soulful in its entire composition. Sounding more honest and less commercially contrived, Drake drops some lyrics on this on that are…well…honest. Not like he isn’t honest anyway. But it seems more heartfelt and less cliche’. Maybe its the lack of autotune. Who knows. But linking up with k-os on this song can only help him in the long run.
Oh, and k-os = greatness. That is all.
