Drake
– IF YOU’RE READING THIS YOU’RE TOO LATE Track by Track Review
1. Legend
Im
not sure if I necessarily agree with what Drake saying, but I definitely don’t
fuck with the flow on this… shit is slow and annoying as fuck. The beat was
fire tho, so the track can get a pass. Like I not all the way hating it, I
would like play it in the background, while I’m like on watsapp or reading thru
blogs on the internet, really not captivating enough for me to care what he is
saying. It was a good intro track tho, in terms of vybe.
2. Energy
This
is more Drake than Aubrey for sure this track was decent. Like it aint the best
Drake shit that dropped in years, but I fuck with it like a lil bit at least.
The beat was real subtle and kina needed a catchy flow to carry it, so Drake
delivered where that is concerned at least enough to not make the song boring.
Topic-wise I see what Drizzy sayin for sure, that boy has the world of
enemies(me included). Like the general “real hiphop” community, actual rappers
included, just do not FUCK with Aubrey AT ALL. Diddy slapped your boy Aubrey
and sent him crying to the hospital g… I kina need not say anymore.

Bands
Why
does this sound exactly like the track before it? This album BETTER REALLY BE
THROWAWAYS THAT YOU PUT TOGETHER DRAKE, because this already has no “no thought
put into this” written all over it. I’m not sayin this track is bad… so take it
easy, but this is basically the same melodies as the track b4 it… but i’ll let
drake live. This track was bragadocious raps, which seems to be Drakes way of
tryna prove he don’t only make songs for 16 year old girls n their less than
manly over aged boy friends. But I kina dig it, like I will play this omw to a
party easy. It was cool
4. Know
Yourself
AITEEE
DRAKEEEE I SEE YOU… tryna get me to like your music again na?!?! I WAS RUNNIN THRU THE SIX WITH MY WOES!!! This
track for some strange reason is all kinds of fire , too much for my liking,
THIS SHIT WAS HARDDDDD. Reminded me of Started From The Bottom. Drake really
crafted a good HIPHOP track here without soundin fake tough, like on Headlines
n all that other trash. The beat deserves just as much plaudits, this is my
favorite record on the album easy… and it, technically not a “great” song, it
just so fuckin enjoyable and well put together. My only gripe is Drake “trying”
to sound like Migos and the fake gangster Jamaican scene at the start and end
:/ like son, that not goin on in the
“6IX” -_-
5. No
Tellin
This
was another highlight, the flow and lyrics on this track was that Drake we kina
got post NWTS. Drake kina wasting FIRE beats though… like this beat deserves
more effort from whoever decides to flow over this audible fire. Drake actually
putting together decent lil quotables, minus that “biggest boss other than
ricky ross” BULLSHIT. The three different flows was a good idea, I dig it minus
the last flow switch…, which was reminiscent of that Migos/boring ass flow from
track 1. Otherwise his track was cool, good job Aubrey
6. Madonna
FUCKOUTTAHEREWITHTHISFUCKERY
7. 6
God
This
track is GROSSLY overrated. AGAIN IM NOT SAYING IT IS BAD… JEEZ. When Mrs.
Drizzy dropped this, the Drake Hive was havin orgasms basically. So naturally
being the prudent HipHop head I am…. I hopped on ILLROOTS.COM to peep this.
Honestly for a couple hours, I was convinced I hadn’t found the song… cuz I
could think THIS was what the commotion was about. But then I got to my senses
and remembered its Drake’s army of fairies we dealing with, so naturally they
gonna think anything mildly hard is the toughest shit they heard for 2014. Like son didn’t drop Trophies that same year…
smh. Anyways, this track was okay, like it passes the time, it gets you to the
next track without the urge to press skip. The instrumental was not as stellar
as other tracks but the baseline damn near shattered my eardrums, I must admit.
The beat kina ALSO sound like the instrumental to a boss level on any SNES or
SEGA Beat Em Up game…. But it was fire nonetheless. [SIDENOTE: Obiviously you
are the god of the 6 Drake, it’s fuckin Canada…. Who else is from there, JUSTIN
BIEBER?]
8. STAR67
Why
Drake name this song, after the digits crazy trappy girls from America dial to
call back their man sidehoes? Anyways… the flow on this is terrible, Drake
talking about DRUGS on a the records as well, lmaoooo…. Yo thank God for all of
Drake’s producers, cuz beats is saving this album in a BIGGGG way. When the
flow switches tho, the song gets kina decent. I kina get the Star 67 thing as
the track proceeds, basically the whole phonecall theme throughout the song.
Here we go again with the Jamaican thing, like idk if Drake got family from
there or sumthing but he really been on Jamaican culture’s DICK. I actually
kian fuck with the second part of this song, minus the singing, it’s an okay
song
9. Preach
(feat. PARYNEXTDOOR)
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
PARTYNEXTDOOR
needs to partyneveragain and quit music. This track is TERRIBLE. I can’t for
the life of me see why Drake signed this fool. He croons on autotune for half
the song…. Drizzy does his best “Comeback Season Drake” in an attempt to save
the song… but na, PARTYLIKESHIT comes back to erase whatever efforts Drake
expounded to rescue this track… my advice PRESS SKIP.
10. Wednesday
Night Interlude (feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR)
First
off…. No interlude should be THREE MINUTES PLUS LONG. Secondly, I thought this
was “throwaways” Drake… why you got interludes?! You throwing away those too…
Thirdly, why PARTYWHATEVERTHEFUCK tryna be The Weekend, and failing?! THIS
TRACK IS JUST AS HORRIBLE AS THE ONE BEFORE, NEXT!!!!
11. Used
To (feat. Lil Wayne)
This
beat destroyed my spearkers… I promise. This bass should be illegal. Track a
little “6 God esque” I aint mad at it though. Drake put more energy into this
one so I appreciate that at least. He actually got a topic, which as you may
have noticed is the first for this album so far. He basically is kina playing
on the words “Used To” in all the different ways it could be used, that was
kina fresh. Lil Tunechi came in with some struggle bars tho… man picked up
right where “Sorry For The Wait 2” left off, which is NOT a good place. Maybe this wudda been better without Wayne tbh. Why
the fuck son said “Suck a nigga for an iphone 6, fuck my nigga terry for a new
blackberry”? Like yo, what kina homeless girls these rappers dealin with?! And
who even says the word blackberry anymore…. Shit was wild confusing, even for
Wayne.
12. 6
Man
What
is this b? Track is way too annoying if im bein honest… not much else to say.
The beat wasn’t much different from the description of the song. And when
Aubrey started singing… jesussss christtt
“if you were worried about where I've been or
who I saw or What club I went to with the homies Baby don't worry, you know
that you got me I'm never worried about where I'm at or who I saw or What club
I go to with the homies Baby don't worry, I know that they got me” How a
grown man gon pen this tom foolery?
13. Now
And Forever
This
is the Mrs. Drizzy type of song. If you liked Marvin’s Room or the Take Car
album as a whole, you gonna all the way fuck with this track. My thing with
this kind of Drizzy song is that I really do not fuck with this style of
“emotional” content in no way fathomable so I can’t really give you a solid
informed opinion on this kinda song. I really do not know what a quality “on
your period/in your feelings” rap crooning track supposed to sound like. I
would say this, you boy Aubrey kina jacking The Weekend swag here, especially
with the beat selection, and why the fuck is Drake doing this Jamaican thing on
the hook. “Ive been “out n bod” lmaoooo. Tha actually made me laugh out loud…
track was kina meehhh apart from the beat.
14. Company
(feat.) Travi$ Scott
This
song is a little more tolerable than the previous emo track. Let us first take
a moment to acknowledge Drake said he doesn’t wanna marry a chick who like to
wake up in the morning and cook meals at 9Am every morning, because she is too
perfect…. Son, HUH?! I ain the hugest Aubrey fans, so maybe the Drake hive
could help me out here, but I could vividly remember Drake rapping/crooning
about stripper chick who he knows can be better
etc, and he wish she would n such n such… Like g, wat DO you want? But
anyways, the track not terrible, but it also aint sumn that I gon advise you
listen to if I’m tryna get you to like this album. The beat drop when Travi$
came in was super fresh, n I don’t fuck with Travi$ music at all(he fuckin
beats up his fans b, eem tho that aint why I don’t fuck with him I thought I
should let you know). I wanna go out on a limb n say Travi$ also made the beat
which is yet another banger from your La Flame, he really needs to stick to
beat solo. Drake cudve done the more justice, but the I not all the way hatin
it, I’ll listen to it again.
15. You
and The 6
Why
drake calling n complaining to mummy like a little bitch? Anyways, I’lll look
past that cuz I mean, I call mums to discuss shit that I need advice on, on
some grown man shit (yea I’m ONLY 23 tho) so perhaps Drake can too. He really
didn’t need to say “mama” so much, n be breathing hard on the call n all that.
Otherwise this track is actually fire. Great story telling from Drake, and the
tone of the beat was perfect for the subject matter. I actually highgly
recommend anybody who doesn’t fuck with Drake to listen to this, this is proof
that son can actually RAP n make DOPE HIPOP SONGS.
16. Jungle
Apparently
there was a short film titled after this record. Naturally I didn’t see eem
bother giving that the time of day… it’s a DRAKE MOVIE yo, why the fuck would
I? Anyways, this might shock you… but I actually fuck with this, not really
subjectwise at all but for Drake’s Vocals… like he sounded good. He was super
swagger jacking The Weekend style, BUT he fuckin pulled it off, props Aubrey.
PS: TAKE IN THE UN-MASCULINITY OF THIS BOYS LYRICS, HE SAID: “fuck what they
talkin about on your timeline, that’s cutting into my time with you” -_- my g I
really don’t eem need to go into that, it speak for itself.
17. 6PM
in New York
One
word: BARS
This
track was BY FAR the best song on the album. Like son needs to just do this,
with the occasional singing in the way he did on Jungle. This is the drake I fell
in love with (pause) on Comeback Season and So Far Gone. Drake kina forgot he
could do this for the last 8 years, bar a couple of gems. Your boy Aubrey came
all the way correct on this, no hooks just bars, mean flow and fuckin
disses(WHO KNEW!). Great way to close the album.
CONCLUSION
I
don’t fuck with post So Far Gone Drizzy, OBVIOUSLY. He consistently releases
the softest shit hiphop has to offer. But I DO ACKNOWLEDGE that Drake is the
hottest rapper in the game. I’m not fuckin sure why… but this boy sold 570K
albums in 2 nights… like that shit unheard of in rap. This ENTIRE album is on
Billboard’s Top 100 Singles globally… like Drake is winning. As for his legacy
as a RAPPER RAPPER, he light years behind A LOT of dudes, because his catalog
leave a lot to be desired. Drake needs to use is OVERWHLEMING global influence
on people to fuck with whatever he does, and drop a Comeback Season meet So Far
Gone, and prove me wrong. The funny thing about Drake is that I know he CAN do
it, and I want him to, but till then fi he keeps dropping shit like IF YOURE
READING THIS YOURE TOO LATE, then FUCK DRAKE b.
P.S. Drake if the universe ever line up perfectly and give you the pleasure of reading this, take my advice and stop with the "6" shit... that really ain't helping with the Illuminati/Devil rumors son, unless you really on that, then well... by all means carry on.
MY RATING 5.5-6 outta 10
