A bunch of early versions of SFG Era songs
SPOILER
I made a list of differences
Uptown
- Structured like leaked OG Mix
- Open for Wayne hook and Bun B verse
- Extra Drake bar at end of first verse cut in Final and leaked OG Mix
Sooner Than Later (Ref 2 and Ref 3)
- Open at end, 3rd verse not present
- Hook before open echos longer than final
- First bar of second verse of Ref 2 is completely different.
- Also on Ref 2, at 3:35 there is a background vocal of Drake saying "I realize I-" that isn't in Ref 3 or final
Ransom
- Jas shouted out in intro instead of O
- Young Money and Lil Wayne shouted out in intro instead of Boi1Da
- Open for Lil Wayne
Ignant Shit
- Minimal mixing differences throughout
A Night Off
- Minimal mixing differences throughout
- Drake's last adlib/harmonize echoes out. In final Lloyd comes in immediately
- Open verse for Lloyd
Congratulations
- Only has Drake's first verse, rest is open
- Lil Wayne's speaking outro from the mixtape version is also not present.
- Some parts of the beat, mainly the hook/break between verses is different
- 3 Lyrics changed, see below
Released version: Tell G to put his feet up on the ottoman
Reference version: Tell Jimmy to put his feet up on the ottoman
Released version: A lot of these niggas swear the coach just brought the starter in
Reference version: A lot of these niggas Interscope just brought the starter in
Released version: I hope they document what I'm becomin'
Reference version: Someone document what I'm becomin'
Best I Ever Had
- Intro is different
Released version:
You know, a lot of girls be
Thinkin' my songs are about them
This is not to get confused
This one's for you
Reference version:
Yea, you know, a lot of girls be
Thinkin' my songs are for them
But this is not to get confused
This one's for you
- One bar in verse 2 changed
Released version: Yeah, just know my condo is the crack spot
Reference version: Yeah, and so you always at the crack spot
