Quote #2: Drake - "Overdose on Life"

"I used to cut the porch lights on, and now I cut the porch lights on just to let 'em know their foresight's wrong."

Foresight is a funny thing. I think Drake has a thing for going against people's expectations.

I, for one thought the "Best I Ever Had" video was hilarious, because it goes against the cliche music video where the guy walks along with his girl tell her how she's (allegedly) the best he's ever had. Drake made it funny & he also got to act in the video. A lot of people didn't like it though, because it wasn't the cliche stuff they expected.

The same thing happened with the "Find Your Love" video. A lot of generic people expected it to have shots of Drake & his love interest running through fields of summer sunshine falling in love lol. This didn't happen. Instead Drake expressed a message. I think it was a cool, grim idea.

Whatever it is, I think Drake likes to be unpredictable, keep people on the edge of their seat, & say what he wants to say with his music. With basically each new release, he lets the public know their foresight is wrong.

Enjoy "Overdose on Life" below.

Drake feat. Alicia Keys - "Fireworks"

Once again, Drake AND Alicia Keys deliver. This song is inspirational.

After seeing Drake in concert in Baltimore, I was able to get a preview of this song.

At the time, however, I didn't know Alicia Keys was on the track. They sound great.

Drake tells honest, sincere stories; he never fails to do this. Alicia Keys takes up the hook & sings it with passion.

That this song is a commentary on Drake's pathway to fame & success isn't a surprise.

The chorus lyrics say it all in these four concrete lines:

"All I see is fireworks . . . Every night is fireworks . . . All I see is fireworks . . . Taking off like fireworks."

I almost wish I could have an entire duet album from Alicia Keys and Drake. Great idea for the future lol.

Quote #1: Drake - "The Presentation"

"I'm perfecting my craft using _____. Tryna make some cheese off a single is a process. Get it? Craft, single, cheese, process. Sit back and admire the talent that I possess."

Yeaaaah. I like "The Presentation", a semi-introductory song on Drake's sophomore mixtape "Comeback Season." This song definitely reminds me of bright summer days and driving in fast cars lol. The main thing about this track is that the beat switches about a third of the way through & the second beat sounds good. I think I'll keep posting interesting Drake lyrics. I'll be able to comment on his experience with different women & people in the industry lol. I know Thank Me Later will be full of good listening music.

Ground Up & Wiz Khalifa?

Ground Up is a trio of talented artists and they're making their way to the top. They've already struck college students with their shows, good music, and vibes. Now they're moving to even bigger audiences.

Their newest endeavor? This show, too, is at a university but it's a little bit different.

Ground Up will perform at Penn State-University Park opening the show for Wiz Khalifa.

Both groups have connections to Pennsylvania as Cameron Jibril Thomaz /Wiz Khalifa is from Pittsburgh and Ground Up is based out of Philadelphia.

I'm excited for this show as GU takes it "one step at a time".

The show will take place on September 11, 2010 at 7:00p.m.
