This is a dope track. Too bad Drake is only on the hook. Hopefully they got some songs together on Thank Me Later.

there is a reason why jigga didn’t let drizzy do a verse on his track.. cuz he was scared drake would kill him on his own track LOL.. i’m pretty sure that’s why drake has no verse..only on the hook.

drake owns everyone when it comes to going in on a verse..jigga was scared..bottom line!

I’m seriously dissapointed, I was looking foward to Drake putting a monumental 16 bars down. But let’s be real guys….. Drake didn’t get a verse for a reason. Everything Jay does is thoughtfully calculated.

With that being said, you can’t say drake’s flow makes Jay shake in his tims. That’s ridiculous.

Trust, I am the biggest drake fan, hes my favorite and I play him back to back. But this sucks a big one.

LOL @ ppl thinking that drake would of killed jay. Jay has done songs with biggie, eminem, nas some of the greatest lyricist of our time and u think hes afraid to do a song with drake? lol I’m not saying drake couldn’t of killed him but if jay aint afraid to do songs with biggie em and nas u really think hes scared to let drake have a verse?

@ 8:58 PM:

@ chuck taylor & @ ashley..

glad to hear you guys u feel the same way…

drake and jigga do record 2-3 tracks when they were in the studio together..so let’s hope drake had some authority ..perhaps a track on Thank me Later..where drake just kills jigga with his 32 bars and gives jigga 8 bars LoL.. im waitin for that..

to me its very simple..jayz didn’t wanna get merked on his own track .. just like how kanye merked jigga on Run this town..that was funny..kanye verse was insane..

regarding money to blow remix with birdman / wayne ..

im not a birdman/baby fan and never will be..i was upset drake decided to continue his association with them..but the best line of the song:
wayne : ‘we gon be alright if we put drake on every hook..’

CLASSICCC lol

I’m sorry but there’s no way Drake could merk Jay on a track. Not yet, maybe in a couple of years, but not in the near future. Come on, how could you think that?

@ 12:50 AM:

like everyone i am dissapointed but Drake has done hooks for alotta people and the songs do do pretty good sojay-z jus wanted this to be the way it was so its a great track but ya drake and jigga will get a track togetha and drake will kill a verse…there will be a song because it is too anticipated for drake and jigga jus to ignore it.
so patience is key and like drake says and his debut album says maybe theres a reason he didnt do a verse maybe he wrote one and it didnt make the cut or maybe he liked the verse so much he kept it for another song so all u gotta do is “Than Him Later” for not getting that verse cuz he will praise u with some hot shit wen he does cut a new track with a jay-z or whoeva he may feature with.

drake does it big give him time because he has the right tools to do good so patience is wat hes asking for and u will see wat he has to offer later wen he drops a new single or collab with an artist…hes too good to jus leave it at that.
who knows maybe he will drop a freestyle on the OFF THAT beat like he did wit STILL FLY by. Page and Drake on the hook, he came back around and murdered it so he might do it to this track too jus stay tune! SO FAR GONE BABYYY!!! YM CM ATF OVO

C’mon ya’ll…so he only got the hook..if this song blows up, Drake will only get bigger. People tend to learn hooks before verses anyways lol.

Man i was excited when i saw it had come out then i heard it and lost it. Terrible song. I thought Jay and Drake would go hard over a dark beat but instead they go soft on a gay Timbaland beat that sounds like some Nelly Furtado shit.

Its not that bad, just in need of Drake Verse. We was expecting them to go at it. But We were expecting Jay and weezy going at it in Brooklyn 2.0, I still dont know what they did with that song Drake was singing on bout Dont Clips my wings or some shit. Just gotta wait.

@ 3:04 PM:

whatitdodrizzy, ur totally right 100%. Jay was afraid Drake would kill him on the verse so he didnt give him one. Because face it, Jay is whack now he has no flow and his rhymes arent even really thought through.. Wayne is like the old Jay right now only better, and Drizzy is gonna overpass all of them in a VERY short period of time.

Sosa, suck a dick.

I honestly can’t believe the people saying this song is only good for the hook. Like, really?

Man, Timbo’s beats all sound the same. And this one is especially annoying… I’m glad he’s not doing the majority of BP3. Jay went in. Not what I was expecting, but it’s decent. A letdown for sure, though.

Find me a nice soft place to land
Im so high
Find me a place to land
Yeah
Right there
Yeah

(Verse 1)
I’m so tomorrow, they order mines on yesterday
which means you on-time than late
So even if I slow it down,
My sound is fast forward
Hold up
I’m just a runway show
But I wear this on my plane these my runway clothes
Cashmire sweats
They come out next year, but they my last year sweats
And my hoe’s so sick,
Your new chick can’t fuck with my old bitch
And you know this shit,
I’m professional, they know this is
I just may let you borrow this,
This the Blueprint nigga follow this
This is what what tomorrow is,
Welcome to tomorrow Bitch

(Hook)
Drake
Whatever you about to discover We off that
You about to tell her you love it, we off that
Always want to fight in the club and we off that
But you can’t bring the future back
Ya’ll steady chasing the fame, we off that
Oversize clothes and the chains, we off that
Niggas still makin’ it rain and we off that
But you can’t bring the future back

Tell them hatas get off me
Chris we off that
Timbs we off that
Rims we off that

Jay-Z
Yeah we off that
Is you still on that
And we still making money
cuz we still on that

(Verse 2)
Say black versus that, my nigga still off that
Please tell Bill O’Reilly to fall back
Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls
This 2010 ain’t 1864
Yeah we come so far
So I drive around town hard top and its off
And my trop at the loft with my high brow Ah and my high yellow broad
And my dark skin sense and my best white mate say whats up to Chris
Hows that for a mix
Got a black president, got green presidents
Blue prints in my white iPod
Black diamonds in my Jesus piece, my God
We ain’t tripping off that
This is a Benetton ad, nigga betta fault that

(Hook)
Drake
Whatever you about to discover We off that
You about to tell her you love it, we off that

(Verse 3)
I dont give a fidduck, abbibout the riddate
you used to move, what you used to do
And i dont give a fidduck abbibout the bitches
that you used to screw but your future do
And we dont really care what you used to say
unless that effects your future pay
Im on a pratice field running two-a-days
so i dont drop the ball when its threw my way
I dont give a fidduck, abbibout the shit that
you probably did who you probably is
The only time i deal in past tense
is im past rims and im past tints
If you driving it, i drove it,
if you got it, cause i sold it
you copped it, i bought it back
we dont give a ffidduck Nigga we off that

I don’t think Drake is talking about Hov in that quote from The Winner… How you gon’ go harder than someone when you’re only on the hook? It sounds like he’s talking about a specific song, not just being better than someone.

I agree with Danyl, too. I think the hook is pretty lame. And yeah, Knowledge, that was something I caught on the first listen… I wonder how she feels about that.

I’m sorry, but that shit is whack. And of course Jigga fans are gonna stand behind him regardless of what he puts out, so I’m not surprised.

His shit ain’t hot no more. Bottom line. I mean, kudos to Drake for his hook, but the song overall was lame.

@Syl DuBenion

nope, I don’t think he was targeting Jay either but then again I was not in the studio when he wrote it. It just shows sometimes you can’t hop on a track of another artist (being a feat./verse) because they know you will go harder, because you have to go harder, because you CAN go harder. Drake got the hook hooray for that either way. But I think fans were just expecting that Drake juice to be sprinkled on there more than he was. It’s like he was a garnish and we are like DAMN where the steak!?

Drake, you did what you did and I’m proud, I like it. Maybe next time when I look at the menu, I need to ask for the ingredients list.
