Drake - Forever (feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, & Eminem)

Forever
This track is for some LeBron documentary that's dropping soon, not for Drake's album (though I'd be surprised if it wasn't on there) and looks like we got a little battle going on to break down! I'll call her "The Battle Of Forever!" Lets go in:


Okay, forget Kanye and Wayne, this was a 2 man race between Drake and Eminem for illest verse (its like Swagger Like Us all over again lol...which is kinda funny because this drops JUST over a year to the date Swagger Like Us came out! A 3 day difference!). Okay, we'll set Wayne's verse to the side for now, but can we at least agree that Kanye is in last place?? Good.

Anyway, this is a tough one. I mean neither absolutely destoyed it, but both verses were above average. Drake gets points for doing Kanye's style better than Kanye and Em gets points for spitting with that crazy flow and never falling off beat.

I'm gonna shock some people here, but I think I'm gonna give it up to Drake in sort of a "Mark Sanchez is the starter for the Jets" way. Eminem is the vet so he's supposed to wreck shit, not spit a verse at pretty much the same level as the young buck we just brought in. Besides, Em could spit that verse in his sleep! Its like a 8 or 9 out 10 for most rappers, but for Em its more like a 4 or 5.

So here's the Forever break down:

1. Drake
2. Eminem
3. Lil Wayne
4. Kanye West

There you have it.

(On a little side note, how sure are we that Drake can really sing?? From what was displayed on the hook I say we need to call that fact into question.)
