underrated Drake song before we begin we

content for this Lizzie we’re focusing
on lesser-known drivi tracks that have
tremendous value even if they’re not his
most successful commercial release the
money can’t buy happiness jelly talking
truthful but I’m happiest when I bow
number 10 fear this is me still the same
in what the head I played a game
produced and co-written by Khalil Raman
aka DJ Khalil this track examines the
personal anxiety that comes with Fame
with each passing burst straight becomes
a little more rattled detailing the cost
of his growing Fame and reputation he
lays down some fundamental truth but the
fear persist as he tries to deal with
being misrepresented and
underappreciated and no applause battles
because I bottle my emotions at least I
put it on and it’s a little more
personal than the typical existential
hip-hop track and Drake insightfully
chronicles his industry journey with the
support of DJ kahlil’s Laird and
meditative production hope this isn’t
one of those to ever say it’s funny how
money has changed everything
[Applause]

the number nine Grammys featuring future
tell me how you really felt
tell me how you really feel I would ask
you what to do don’t even Pat it down
for this snarky track Drake and his
featured guests take aim at hosers
rhyming over and grimy beat Drake
reminds that he’s the real deal in more
ways than one Sam run all day a lot of
times on the same side oh yeah weird oh
my but I’m gone going outside and if
he’s less than clear with his message
feature drives home the hook while
elaborating on the diapers array of
uppers and downers currently in his
system they want me to go to the vet go
I want to prove to them again they’re
out the trash Drake and future insinuate
that they’re more about keeping it real
than posturing for others making Grammys
and entertaining and prod provoking
commentary on rappers and loved with the
spotlight they go it’s like I wanna
Cammie
they go it’s like I wanna Grammy yeah uh
number eight cameras word on road is to
click about the blow you ain’t gotta run
instead nobody they already know
produced by Noah 40 Shebib this track
isn’t necessarily a love song per se but
it’s driven by honesty and truth with a
drawn-out lyrical delivery drink
explains his glamorous lifestyle adding
that real life is different than a
paparazzi perspective in classic Drizzy
fashion he attempts to qualm the
concerns of a certain female yet he
doesn’t quite apologize for any
questionable behavior named baby seal
Atlanta but only on camera
only gem only cameras is a stripped-down
take on what it means to date a
high-profile hip-hop star in other words
the cameras don’t always reveal the
truth but rather a brief snapshot about
a specific place and time for hip hop’s
underground Kingz I know I didn’t know
much damn prime number 7 closer
featuring at Drina mill miss the big
dreams no Taliban country web album
palaces give it mid-tempo beat an
inspirational narrative this track
features a younger Drake on the cusp of
achieving his dream musically the
production has a slow jam feel certainly
when paired with ndrina Mills vocals but
closer thrives with Drake’s lyrical
acumen and precise phrasing there’s no
mumble rap going on here and although
Drake keeps blues there’s a sense of
urgency that shines through our folks
awesome race ensues back streets on
Craig Davis it the awful dodge back in
2007 a mixtape track like this showcased
with Drake could accomplish and he
clearly felt that he was on the right
track looking back it’s most definitely
one of the Toronto MCS were
underappreciated song anticipated like
the I fall expecting at any City to have
wrong summertime when a times in a time
any time I invested in myself when I
subscribe oh yeah number 6 9 a.m. in
dollars these are my 1 st. Thomas low me
– Oh Madonna ho it looks just like
Barbie for trusting down ago while this
joint didn’t make the American version
of Drake’s studio album if nonetheless
had success on the Billboard charts even
so people tend to forget about 9:00 a.m.
in Dallas a track in which Drake
essentially talk smack to all the haters
it’s filled with Chris Thile zingers and
features all the drink privado that fans
have come to love this one is hardened
from our city trying to dance without a
response for me you really feel it
exists and I’d love to see you fare that
feeling man to see
I swear but it’s neither a deeply
philosophical track nor a club banger
more of a meditation on swatting down
the trolls and knowing one’s place in
the game in that regard it steeped in
traditional hip-hop roots a song that’s
often overlooked given its absence on
the domestic album release people clean
it all straight we started to miss it
but they need to be a little more
specific management switch down Wow
number five jungle these days I’m
letting Guyana law things above built on
a jazzy stripped-down beat courtesy of
Drake’s right-hand man Noah 40 Shebib
this late album track is one of Drake’s
more chilled out production starting
with a sample of Gabriel Garzon Montano
Drake doubles up with vocals of his own
in the first two verses Drizzy shift
gears from confident to skeptical lover
questioning whether he’s lost
credibility painted at treated I guess
so whatever thing trust me girl shit is
everything but rather than spiraling
into the madness drink refocuses by the
final verse now dropping rhymes with
confidence however there’s still some
underlying anxiety about the future what
am I supposed to do after we’ve done
everything that we’ve done who is sho
replaced it’s the subtext that makes
jungle such a gem as Drake looks inward
rather than boasting about trivial
matters
[Music]
number four now and forever itself it’s
elbow down leave it I’m gone I can’t
stay here no more in the opening seconds
of this song a dreamlike vibe sets the
tone
produced by Erica dingus and Jimmy prime
Johnson now and forever has Drake caught
up on his thoughts caught up in all his
hopes and fears I’m afraid that I’m
gonna die before I do I’m gone Oh imma
be alone it’s a moody existential track
about breaking free from what’s holding
you back with many people interpreting
the lyrics as a nod to the ongoing drama
between Drizzy and Cash Money Records
there’s no rap cliches hip-hop
references or name-dropping to be found
just the repeated statement of no more
making now and forever an accessible
track for any listener anywhere
[Music]
give but you cannot take nerve number
three from time featuring jhene aiko I
needed to hear that shit I hate when
just submissive passive-aggressive one
with text and I filled a distance poetic
and minimal is this love ballad plays
like a conversation between drapes and
an old planner with a soft piano
backdrop and jhene aiko is hushed vocals
setting the mood from time feels
completely harmonious once Drake begins
his first verse
with this song he’s not afraid to open
up but doesn’t come across as soft I’ve
been dealing with my dad speaking alack
patience
just me and my old man getting back to
basics through this approach he
addresses issues with his father as
romantic stress acknowledging all the
little things that make a difference I
don’t even know what you want from to
have any more answers for some missing
and disappear when I’m full it’s about
communication with Drake becoming even
more raw by the end all in all it’s the
slight production tweaks that give from
Times in depth just as Drake makes his
own personal tweaks and progresses as a
songwriter
making out in our open and talk to
ignore what qualities without looking
for the boss you settling for better
food and a boy
[Music]
number two Weston Road flows flows I did
his shin for my ready bed when he
couldn’t buy pizzas as we went down a
penny for this track
Drake uses one extensive verse to pay
homage to his roots at times there are
subtle references to friends and even
close yet Drake live-ins up Weston Road
flows by dropping pop-culture references
throughout a lot of people just hit me
on what my name is mentioned
Shattuck ad we were saying we get the
same attention even if listeners can’t
necessarily relate to Drake’s experience
they can at least appreciate the content
as he paints a full portrait of his life
past and present
incidentally when Drake ultimately
references Weston Road the Toronto
Street where he grew up one can
understand Drake just a little bit more
where he’s been and how he sees the
world Western Road flows my confidence
level getting settled don’t get height
for the moment it started back pedal
don’t let your newfound fame fool you a
cloud of your judgment and salt loosely
I really do this when flowing stupid
since Vince Carter was on some through
the legs are mean old shit before we
unveil our topic here are a few
honorable mentions she’s working with a
special I know she loves to the shit off
on me how to pilot hoods become a
mountain the truth is how to bottle a
why we kind of found into bingo new
trade I got money and Mike I did I’m uh
now that this is more than just a new
loves for you
number one too much featuring Samba done
saying I’m jumping there last time is on
an outro stuck in a house need to get
out more I’ve been standing nothing on
swamp races thanks to the opening vocals
by British singer Samba there’s
immediately a nun Semak quality to this
Drake production but rather than keeping
it light drink revs things up with a
couple of strong verses on the cost of
success and its impact on family money
got my whole family backwards
no bin is no holidays no nothing doing
away with a usual hip-hop fare your
drink addresses his own family that’s
what for some type of resolution by
allowing himself to be so vulnerable
it’s clear that some aspects of Drake’s
life has become too much to handle with
Drake’s introspective lyrics combined
with the soulful and heartfelt
contributions in Samba too much will
surely be remembered as one of the best
deep cuts from Drake’s discographies now
it got me feeling pinned down pick up
n-nothing put a pin down writing to you
from a distance like a pimp app we’ve
been down do you agree with our picks
