Drake - Dark Lane Demo Tapes THREAD

[BrewCityCM]

Nice list! I'd add:

War: "Used to look up to a man from certain ends with Tune on repeat
Thought he was a bad boy, then 'til man got pinched and man went PC"

Think this references Wayne (Tune) and Birdman (bad boy).


Also, what do y'all think about the thought that the song 'Losses', is about Wayne?
Few pointers for me:

1. "Lost you to the game, I gotta hug that" Drake has two big losses to the game that we know (in terms of fellow musicians): The Weeknd and Wayne
2. "I was here when you was asking where the love at" This might be a subversive way of referencing Lil Wayne's 'How to Love'
3. "I had friends that only had half of they heart in" Wayne is reportedly not very involved with his artists. Even though contractually Wayne was entitled to a significant part of Drake's earnings. This could explain why Drake could have problem with that half-heartedness
4. "But I treated you like gold, I was all in" Drake always put respek on Wayne's name in public
5. "Spoiled rotten, they could smell you 'fore you walked in" Wayne kinda spoiled, right...?

I like the tape but it's not that great to me. It starts off very good. The first 4 tracks are all fire. The "Superman" reference in "Chicago Freestyle" is nice. "When To Say When" is strongly reminiscent of "Song Cry" for obvious reasons. The Chris Brown feature is one of the best I've heard in a while. But after the first part which is very strong it kinda become average unfortunately. "D4L" is a nice banger and I still like "War" but most of the other tracks aren't that special to me. It's still preferable to "Funeral" tho.

What you talking about Chris brown's feature? It was only some adlibs. My fav song rn is probably Time Flies. "Right outside, TT, too turnt baby girl you know me" Overall cool project but having known half of the songs previously, it's harder for me to just let the album play.
