Lol, you're right, it is a mixtape. /Drake IMO has been marketed wrong, he has ALOT of good deep/lyrical stuff. Because of his female fanbase its unlikely that this is what he will be known for. Fear/Calm/Say Whats Real are a few examples.
C/SDrake has actually got bars, but like the majority of hip hop these days, if it's too lyrical, majority of the listening public don't want to know.And LOL @ Drake being for certain types of mandem. SMH.

I prefer his girl tunes tbh (no homo).He's probably the best rapper out right now for those type of tunes, but he's definitely not the best rapper out for deep/lyrical stuff. He'd be better suited sticking to what he's best at IMO.Guy should focus on being the next LL Cool J.

Track is produced by Tone Mason and co-produced by 40, via MTV.True story, Drake spit his whole verse to me and my boy last week in Toronto. He even did the beginning of Jay’s verse too. Insanity.He said they each have 32 bars, sorta like him and Lil Wayne did on “Ransom,” and even though he wanted to do a “No Hook” with Jay, this one has a chorus because apparently it’s sick.He explained that he’s rapping about where he [thinks he] is in his career and then Jay comes tells him where he is.He seemed pretty confident that this should satisfy anyone who was let down by the whole s**tstorm that came with “Off That.” Apparently the story behind that is that it was a reference track he made for Jay-Z & Timbaland, two established artists in the game, who can rap about trend setting or trend stopping. But then Jay insisted he do the chorus, instead of Timbo.No snitching, but Drake also mentioned that he had done two other (and apparently better) songs for Blueprint 3 that didn’t make the cut. Apparently he had a verse at the end of Jay & Kanye’s “Hate,” (but his verse got scrapped on the final version) and that he did a song with Jay called “Sweep” or “Sweep Up” (we were drinking,) where Jay talks about Bey and his love for her. Both of these songs have yet to see the light of day. 40 you need to holler at me.It was a great conversation. Hopefully I’ll be able to drop more little tidbits here and there, otherwise you can expect to see a nice interview before the album drops.Drake’s Thank Me Later is slated for a March 30th release as of now.http://www.ddotomen.com/2009/12/30/drake-speaks-on-jay-z-collab-light-up/
