Music has a different way of explaining how someone feels in a situation. The lyrics of a song can say more about an individual’s feelings than the individual actually explaining the way they feel. My personality has changed throughout the years, but a song that will always hold a special spot in my heart is in Drakes Album, “Nothing was the same.”
A chaotic time period started my first year of high school. I expected this time period to be filled with new experiences, new relationships, and overall positivity. Unfortunately, this time period was surrounded by uncontrollable sadness and constant worrying. I never felt so exhausted in my life, yet I always got eight hours of sleep. Music in this time period was the only thing I had to allow

It was produced by Frank Dukes. The song was created digitally using electronic instruments. The song contains many wind instruments which demonstrates the use of the South African culture. More Life has broken many records for the music industry. Drake has not produced any physical copies of the “playlist” yet, and through social media and technological applications, individuals have made the album very popular. Digital sales and streams for the album have been extremely high considering the availability of the album. During the first twenty-four-hour period that the “playlist” was published, over ninety-million users streamed the album through Apple Music.
Drake has changed over time, especially from 2013 to 2017. He has matured and realized that he cannot trust everyone he comes across. “Hold on We’re Going Home” represents Drake’s inner emotions as delicate towards a girl he has fallen for. “Madiba Riddim” represents Drake as numb towards his older friends and future relationships. Although Drake tries to insist that he has changed over time from a sensitive guy to a stone cold thug, he actually has not lost his true essence and remains an overly sensitive
The song called “Hotline Bling” is sung by Drake because his phone is constantly ringing like a “hotline.” The phone will forever ring because of fame and fans. In this song alliteration, nonstandard, and rhyme are being used. This song interest people just because of what he is saying and the way he is putting it.
He quotes, “We all got dreams and we all start reaching” (L. 24), expressing dreams becoming reality. Lights are spotlighted fame, while the money being thrown is income. Drake quotes “Housekeeping knocking to see if all ya”ll decent” (L. 25), suggesting party lifestyles. Being intoxicated, while not remembering who the partner was the night prior. It's hard to leave a surreal occupation with difficulties, which is expressed in “Houstatlantavegas”.
I feel Drake uses these tone changes to show the different emotions he felt about the situation at hand. In this song Drake knows he will be okay without the girl, he’s hurt from the lost, but he knows he will overcome it. “This one you know I hated when you heard it/ and it’s worse because you know that I deserve it”(41-42), in these line he’s basically already saying how successful his is because he knows she knows he will hear this song, but not only that but she knows he deserves to be this success and to overcome the loss because he was right for
Did you know that a very famous rapper came from a broken home? Drake knows exactly what it is like. Drake is a very talented songwriter. In his songs he writes about his personal life. Drake has a rare lifestyle from a very early age to now having a busy career. He loves what he does, so he loves every moment he is either on stage or helping others.
In the videos and rap songs by Drake, there are several aspects that stand out. These include the visuals, lyrics, and music. Visually, Drake's music videos often showcase a blend of different cultures and locations, reflecting his experiences as a hybrid member of society. For example, in the video for "Worst Behavior," he critiques being subjected to racism as a biracial member of society and illuminates larger issues around racial profiling, drawing a wide audience[4]. In another video, "HYFR," he places himself within different communities by identifying with his father's African-American heritage and his mother's Jewish practices[4].
"You used to call me on my cell phone / Late night when you need my love," Drake raps. "I know when that hotline bling / That can only mean one thing."
This source is a verse in the song ‘hotline bling’ by drake. Drakes main points of this song was him singing about how his women was being unfaithful. Throughout this verse drake talks provocatively and down on women, stating that that his girl is ‘bending over backwards for someone else’. While many people would say that this is ok as it has been normalised in this society, there is micro and macro issues to these lyrics that many people leave unrecognised. There are many concerns in this song at a macro level in the fact that drake’s lyrics are a small portion of what shapes society’s norm.
The first sound we hear is Roy’s sweet voice that echoes throughout to the bridge of the song “Cause imma get you good.” Within his late night thoughts, Wood$ delicately sings about his past struggles with superficial and emotionless relationships “Never had a woman that had showed me love / So I never felt this feeling before”, but his tone is full of bliss. The song fuses an amazing flow with a capturing energetic beat where we are also reminded of the Drake type of mood within “The Beauty of Lust”. However, the layers of pitches and tones used created a song that shines right past his single with Drake: “Drama”. Wood$ spends the majority of the album in awe of the women he sings about; his muse “Since I'm always here, I'm only gone for a minute / Gone for a minute.” Denzel Spencer’s sincerity and different perspective about relationships and success make his music very relatable in a seamless blend and it succeeds, much like Drake, largely due to Noah "40" Sheibib’s ability to create an
The Drake/Meek Mill beef has gone from the tweets to the beats. In response to Meek Mill’s recent Twitter attacks on Drake and his lyrical authenticity, Drake retaliated with not one, but two diss tracks within the past week. Both tracks, titled “Charged Up” and “Back to Back”, defend against Meek’s claim that the Toronto-born rapper recruited Atlanta rapper, Quentin Miller, to ghost write Drake’s lyrics for Meek’s single, R.I.C.O. (feat. Drake). The back-to-back tracks were, indeed, charged, as Drake went in on Meek, calling the 28-year-old rapper a charity case and even suggesting that he plays the wifey in his relationship to Young Money label-mate, Nicki Minaj. After Drizzy metaphorically dropped the mic, Meek finally picked it up and came back with a diss track of his own titled “Wanna Know”, first heard Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex's show last Thursday.
All throughout the song, MC Lyte emphasizes how she’s the best in the industry. “I’m the dopest female that you’ve heard thus far and I do get better, the voice gets wetter” (MC). Lyte conveys how her music is rare and innovative and her skills keep
Drake’s song “Too Good” is, in many ways an amazing work of art. Two amazing artists- Drake and Rhianna- sing this song. While listening to a song there are a few criteria’s that should be followed and those are: rhythm, meaning, and voice, in which all are met in this song.
Drake's OVO Fest wrapped tonight, and the Toronto rapper wasted no time going after Meek Mill. Drake opened his set with a performance of "Back To Back," which is his second diss record aimed at Mill. While the song played, a big screen displayed several memes of Mill, one of which showed the rapper wearing a wedding dress, while his girlfriend Nicki Minaj wore a tuxedo. It doesn't seem like Drake has any intention of letting this beef die down, and the rapper let Mill know that he won't tolerate any disrespect. "You did it to yourself boy. I won't let nobody disrespect my city or what I stand for," Drake proclaimed. The line made the Toronto audience go crazy, while they chanted "f**k Meek Mill." Mill has yet to respond to Drake's performance, but the Toronto legend threatened Mill with a "3 Peat" if Mill decides to drop another diss song.
It was him who made Drake realize that he could use the children to ease off the excess pressure that had built up on him due to his indecent internet activities. The other social factor that contributed to the behavior of Drake was the videos and movies he was watching over the internet. They were hardcore obscene material that activated his urge. The children were an easy target because of the social nature of the community where people learned to live together as a big family and not as an individual. Drake had moved to this new
Drake adopts the classic story of a rapper who “started from the bottom” and tries to tell people not to make up a life story for him that isn’t consistent with actual events. As he commented of its concept: From here, it can tell that Drake is a genuine and humble person who keeps it real with his songs. The purpose of the song is clear from its first lines, as lyrics begin with the simple and straightforward hook that repeats for two lines four times: In here, Drake is clearly saying that he started from the same place that every rapper was from, as did with his whole crew. In combination with the piano-driven beats, the song has a sense of hypnotic mixture and effect that can only be emphasized by the fact the each portion of the song
Bruno Mars is a world renowned performer, a majority of the songs he has written tend to all have common themes, sex, partying and having a good time. His songs focus primarily on making the audience feel good. Bruno Mars focus his music on brightening others day rather than trying to get his audience to understand something greater. He does this by using a mixture of funk, soul, R&B, ‘80s and ‘90s music, and putting a modern twist on it. Unlike Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars songs are more than just a pastiche of his past albums, each song he creates uses a different piece of history and when you listen to his music you can’t help to be teleported to a new world of funk, swagger and fame. The only thing his last album is missing is a little bit of soul. The music industry has manufactured his song so much, to try and get it to be what they think the audience wants, that the songs loses all its meaning.
