For the last few years, I've been pretty distant from rap music. I still listen to some stuff from time to time, but i didn't have that same excitement as i once had. I thought maybe I was just getting older. But I think it was just that I didn't hear anybody that was doing anything interesting.
That has all changed now that I've discovered Drake. Now, I know I'm not breaking any new ground with this. I'd heard he was supposed to be the next big thing for a little while now, but I was skeptical. I've heard that before. But after hearing a few of his rhymes, i can say he's for real. I like that he's not the stereotypical rapper. He's got a different vibe to him. After the jump, check out a few of his songs and let us know what you think.
The first one is a track called "Ignorant Shit" feat. Lil Wayne. Wayne does his best to follow Drake, but you can tell who wins here.
This next song is with Young Jeezy and (of course) Wayne. Once again, Drake murders this shit.
This is a song with Jay Z called "Off That". Unfortunately, Drake doesn't have a verse on the song, he's only on the hook. Hey Jay, smart move.
I had to include the "Every Girl" remix which features a bunch of Young Money rappers. Good stuff here, and Wayne's actually not as annoying as he sometimes can be.

I'm Back...With New Jay Z!
Holy shit, we still doing this blog thing? Good, cause I gots a lil' somethin for dat ass. So anyone remember Jay Z? Big name rapper, he be Big Pimpin and spending G's. Yeah, him. So he's got a new album coming out on September 11th called The Blueprint 3. Here's the run-down: The first Blueprint was a classic. The second one, not so much. But I like the idea of this new song. It's called "Death Of Auto-Tune". Hopefully this leads to a trend throughout the music industry and this whole Auto-Tune bullshit dies and T-Pain finds himself homeless. If not, we may be stuck with dreck like this for a few more years. Ugh! Anyways, check out the track. I kinda likes it.
