My favorite topic! Well, right now I have a few. As stated in other blog posts I am a big fan of music. Lately I have been into specific artists and those that I like have been on replay…all night. Drake’s new album Take Care was a pass through when it first came up but last week I was in the mood to hear him and I listened to his whole album through. It’s not an Obsession. That night as it was blasting through my room I called my brother in and showed him some of his best.
I’m afraid I started something.
It’s a favorite now, Marvin’s Room has been on rotation every car ride, while making dinner, during homework, before we all go to bed. Obsession.
It’s not because he’s attractive. It’s the story he tells, he keeps it real. You get to learn what it’s like to be Drake through every song he sings. His style has evolved, while it’s turned more towards Lil Wayne it would be hard not to when he’s one of your closest friends.
While I listen to A LOT of different artists, right now, Drake is my escape. I find that he’s easy to listen to and open with who he is and what he’s feeling. The best on Take Care, I believe, are The Ride, Shot for Me, Make Me Proud, Marvin’s Room, Buried Alive, We’ll Be Fine, The Real Her, and Under Ground Kings. He’ll be rising over the next few years. He’s got what it takes to make it.
One of my favorite lines from him is from Marvin’s Room:
“I got some women that's living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels I’m ashamed
…Having a hard time adjusting to fame”
A lot of others include: Kirk Franklin, Justin Timberlake, Blackstreet, Francesca Battistelli, Usher, Erykah Badu, Beyonce, Mary Mary, Paramore, Jill Scott, and Lauryn Hill.
