Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 1:31pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
Well what can I say . . . Drake is doing it like he should. Man of the year drops a single to show us the direction of the album. Over comes without the big collabos we were promised, just Drake telling us what he wants to do, make good music. He also uses his idiosyncratic signposting wordplay . . . the type you heard at the beginning of Forever. ‘Bout to set it off, set it off, Jada Pinkett ‘Bout to go Thriller Mike Jackson on these niggas All I need’s a fucking red jacket with some zippers Just listened to it once now . . . will like to see what you guys think. For now I'm thinking it's not as hard as Drake on Unstoppable or Forever Can you see me? Can you see me? Get your Visine on Y’all just do not fit the picture, turn your widescreen on If you thinkin’ I’ma quit before I die, dream on Man, they treat me like a legend, am I really this cold? I’m really too young to be feelin’ this old [flash=400,450] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZCwpnY7vac&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash] |

The verses are okay but I don't like the hook |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by wengewenge: 4:19pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
me too the hook is weak, but drake still shits on all rappers |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 6:58pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
Genuflect: I think the hook was against the pace of the track too. He was dragging it and it sounded forced. But I like the verses, it was like him convincing himself that he's up there. Did you feel the pun in the name?? Drakeover |

Drake na bad guy ItSnAiJa . com |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by Genuflect(m): 7:18pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
That's a nice pun. But he shoulda said it in the track or something |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 7:21pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
Genuflect: I know . . . I saw it on the cover of the CD. There was no space inbetween the words . . . that was creative. |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by Genuflect(m): 7:32pm On Mar 08, 2010 |
I guess that's good enough. The pun on the cover alone could attract you |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by HJ1(m): 7:41am On Mar 09, 2010 |
Song is just aight . . . .I would throw ma money on J.cole instead |

Drake is too freaky mehn. . . . dude is a s//ex freak Will be back for my review later on today wengewenge:See, thatz my boo |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 9:45am On Mar 09, 2010 |
Nice. I like drake, tho he rolls wit weezy i think he's a diferent kinda dude. He has this mature thing bout him, even lyrically(comparin to weez)He has a kinda composure and sauve that weezy lack. And after studyin the work of NAS and Adree3000 for this comin album, i think it's gon be dope. H.J: Ermmmm, tempted to do same~~but i even rather place ma bet on D.Julien, too bad the best of em dont get signed to labels to project 'em. Me think D.Julien is the future of HipHop. oNe |

wengewenge:Do you ever listen to Drake's lyrics |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by HJ1(m): 10:08am On Mar 09, 2010 |
AM I LIKE 200 AND LATE . pls WHO'S D. JULIEN, DBR? gat any link to his (her) songs . . |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 11:00am On Mar 09, 2010 |
eldee: wengewenge: Genuflect: Now with 3 of dudes whose view i respect~~well at least sometimes i wuddnt wann go against d grain but~~~Here come Mr i-beg-to-differ Honestly i Me think it balances the quick pace and the high pitch of the verses. This dont classify as weak or "draggy" or forced to me, t'was onbeat. Well maybe cos i listen wit ma heart. oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 11:11am On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: I usually find it hard to describe sound. But the part where he goes, 'I know way tooo many people . . . ' even went against the 'Oh yeah I'm doing me' The pace kept fluctuating through the hook and disrupts the pace of the song . . . I think he shoulda got Weezy to do the hook. Hehehe . . . I listen with me ears. You know that part of your body that normal people use to listen to music. |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by Genuflect(m): 11:19am On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR, I've always kinda enjoyed Drake's previous hooks. He has a nice singing voice and most of the time his choruses are catchy. But the melody of this 'Over' hook is just not catchy enough. Honestly, I can't even remember how it sounds like. I have to play it everytime to remind myself. And I didn't do that with 'Best I Ever Had', 'Forever', 'I'm On' or 'Money to Blow' |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by Genuflect(m): 11:24am On Mar 09, 2010 |
And true that, eldee. The bar structure of that hook wasn't definitive. The syllables kept fighting for space. The thing was just all 'over' the place. I'm very sure there woulda been a better first single option on that album |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 11:43am On Mar 09, 2010 |
Genuflect:comprendi! eldee:I tot so too, but when i followed the kick instead of the synthy sound, t'was intact. Just try and steady bop ur head~~not to all d accopms, but the main sound n kick u'l see it sits nicely wit d hook. Yea normal~~ a safe defination for regular, ordinary~~ and that's d problem. So i dont expect u mere mortal to comprehend wat an xtra-ordinary, super human like DBR percieves and understands Till u begin to listen wit ur heart u still very much legally tone deaf oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 11:51am On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: I'm following his words and not the beats. . . he forces some parts and then slows down in others. That's obvious. DBR: Nah . . . this is normal as opposite to groupie Listening to Drake with your heart?? You sound like Javalove talking about Modenine. If a song does not pass the ear test, it's not going to no heart. |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 12:50pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
Eldee[i]gy[/i] I'm following his words and not the beats. . . he forces some parts and then slows down in others.Eldeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! How cld u say sth like this?? U cannot be talkin bout a verse not being in sync wit pace of track and then say u aint listenin to d beat but just d words! C'mon!! Even Flowshow know u dont have exactly the same # of words on every verse, beat is regular but consonants differs so u will of necessity run over some word or slow down on some to achieve balance~~~every but u kno nauuwww, u dey dull me o Ur most respected rappers on delivery~Em and Mi both do it,
Hehheee, so im a Drake groupie now cos i feel his hook was in sync? I even said i take D.Julien over him and J.cole Listenin to music wit ma hear not just drake, and true dat, it already passed the ear test. oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by tboy1(m): 2:10pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
H.J: Yup you're right @ Post If this is Drakes first single from his most anticipated album den im not impressed at all Song is not catchy, hook is rubbish , lyrics was aight but i expected more from drake I'll wait to hear his next single, not feeling this track at all |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 2:34pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
tboy1:LOL~~dudes cant be funny sha U aint feelin the track AT ALL not Catchy, hook rubish, lyrics, aiite, u expect more. So in concrete terms what is the MORE u xpect that will inpress U. It's easier for most y'all to just sit back and punch keypads away whimsically dismisin sth an artiste put out. Since when did CATCHY mean good or creative. How dare u call this rubbish/ Ok, i getit,~ freedom of speech! oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by Genuflect(m): 2:46pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR, this is the first single for God's sake. The hook has to sound very good so real heads would feel the verse and commercial heads have the chorus to hold on to. Best I Ever Had is miles ahead of Over in the first hit department |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by tboy1(m): 2:54pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: So its a problem now if i dont like a song? Search for Heartbreak Drake 5, listen to some of the tracks from latest mixtape, come back here and have dis discussion. For a dude who everyone's waiting for his album, the track should be better than this Maybe its the hook that killed the whole song for me but PERSONALLY, i'm not feeling this song |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 3:38pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
tboy1:DEfinately no, it aint a problem, its ur prerogative, but c'mon u went to hard totally dismissin' d effort and callin it RUBBISH. And yea dont need to go n listen to his mxtape, heard it all. But i get ur point bout the great xpectation. Genuflect:Yea roger that It just didnt sound too distant from a typical Drake hook to me mayb that's y im easy on the dude. But before totally dismissin it, lets wait for more singles, aiite. Good look Genufle[i]xie[/i] u on point. oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 3:53pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: That's why I said I'm not good at describing sounds in the first place. I'm judging it as I would if there were no beat in it. There's no flipping melody in that part . . . it's not the number of words, it's the way they are arranged. Lack of rhythm . . . distortion of the pace. I listen to so many genres of music . . . I know when a collection of sound is pleasant to the ear, this one isn't. Come on . . . I respect Drake's hooks . . . Forever, Best I Ever Had, Off That, this is just different. DBR: Fair doos. Well let's just say when it comes to singing, I'm not easily impressed. |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by obinna5000(m): 4:29pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
@eldee This is the right version of Drake's Over. [flash=480,385] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5xKMtfyIxs[/flash] |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 6:08pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
eldee:Well i just listened again and sorrwyyy this sh.it is pleasant to me ears i think u need to get your cotton bud on U said it anyway, u aint good at describin sound, so y wont i xpect u not to hear MELODY in there? Sayin it Lacks Rhythm is just sooooo~~~dunno the adjective to use sef U may not think it's d hottest Drake's hook out there but, i dont too, but this aint fit for the description u givin it!! mayb we listenin to different songz oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 6:29pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: I can't describe sounds like Elrazur would, that doesn't mean I don't know what's a good sound and what's not. You question my appreciation of music?? I laugh in Deathblow II Not boasting but the only people that listen to a wider range of music than moi on NL are the likes of Doyin13. Hiphop is crap music . . . anything goes. But when you plan to sing, it will be judged against already set standards . . . and Drake disappoints on this hook. If you think this hook has melody, then I'll have to send you a couple of Aerosmiths/U2 albums to enrol you in this school. |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by DBR: 6:43pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
eldee: u shame me wit ur comparison of Aerosmith/u2 wit drake! Even on the so call Best i ever had that u so much like and use to discard this present one Was Drake as outstanding when u compare to d 2 u named?? He pales so fast , he can neva share mic wit U2 or Aero Ur comparin them is soo appallin' oNe |
Re: Drake - Over (first Single Off Thank Me Later) by eldee(m): 6:54pm On Mar 09, 2010 |
DBR: I didn't compare Drake to U2 . . . I'm sending you those albums to improve your own taste in music. Your standards are way too low . . . your understanding of what's melody is questionable and your inference that I can't spot a good sound is laughable Now if you listen to them, it gives you a broad view of what's good music and also stops you from dropping your standards that low to accommodate sounds like this. |
