Drake - Over (Prod. By Boi-1da)

Drake - Over
Welp, here it is, the long-awaited first single from Drake's debut album Thank Me Later, which is allegedly coming soon.

Aight, aight, I see you Drake! Not at all what I expected to hear, but I like it. First off, the Boi-1da track is incredible, look for it to become the new "it" beat that everybody raps over over the next few months. (Sorry Fab, There Is No Competition 2 is already out, so you can't delay it for "one more record" anymore. It is funny, and kinda ironic, that the day Fab finally drops that mixtape, a classic beat like this pops up lol.) The lyrics are decent, nothing special, but will do.

Here's the problem with the song though: Its NOT single-worthy. Yes, it is indeed a good song, as we established earlier, but its definitely not a single. In fact, if just about any other rapper dropped this as a single it'd be overlooked and quickly forgotten by mainstream radio. BUT since everybody is so eager to suck Drake's dick, that won't be the case here. That's right, expect to hear this song, and expect to hear it often. I'm not sure for how long, but it will undoubtedly be all over every radio stations for at least the next 2 weeks. Oh, and expect for everyone you encounter to tell you how mind blowing and genius it is along the way.

I ain't mad at Drake though, its not his fault, we do this to everybody who gets super hot. Hell, now-a-days you don't even have to be super hot to get people to overreact like they will over this record. But here's the truth, in actuality, this would probably just be a strong album intro, not a single. Oh well, its not like the album is dropping anytime soon anyway, so there will be another first single sooner or later.
