On that note, there is not a single mash-up on here that sounds off or wonky. Some of the songs are cut short, but this was likely because a change in flow, as well as singing, can be a challenge to blend and may not fit on the same beat. We also get flavorful retro-fittings of “6 Man” off 2015’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, “Come Thru” off Nothing Was The Same, “Over” and “Light Up” off of Thank Me Later, and “Lose You” also from last year’s playlist. Hype’s mix of “Can’t Have Everything” from last year’s More Life works so well it’s impossible to tell it’s a blend. Hype blends Drake tracks from all throughout the last decade, including a favorite of lyric-lovers “0-100,” and the song that was initially paired with it, “Catch Up.” The former is paired with one of Little Brother’s breakthrough songs, 2003’s “Speed.” Next up is One-Take’s ode to pimping, “For Free,” from DJ Khaled’s last album. So, Hype made an excellent choice by reuniting him with 9th’s soulful sound. Of course, his beat selection is a big part of why some Heads avoid his music.
Drizzy is at his best when he is acting nonchalant but is blacking out lyrically.
However, his early material (as well as a handful of verses on almost every album and mixtape he has ever released) make it clear that this Toronto rapper/singer can spit with the best of them. Some Heads may question the hype that has surrounded Drake for most of the last decade. 9th Wonder Says Without Phonte, There Is No Drake (Audio)Ĭonsidering that Drake is heavily influenced by Little Brother (as he reminded Heads on 2009’s “Fear”), it makes sense that his bars fit well over 9th production.
