The wait is over! The highly anticipated single “Light Up” from Drake featuring Jay-Z has finally been released. This song is so hot! The concept behind the song seems perfect, it’s exactly how I imagined the relationship between the two rap artist. Jay-Z plays the mentor, sharing his experiences and offering advice for Drake to take along with him as he makes his way to the top. The structure of the song was such a pleasant surprise. First Drake spits one long verse and then Jay hits us with an equally long verse, with a hook in between and at the end by none other than Drizzy.
I’m such a huge Jay and Drake fan and I can really appreciate this song. Drake has definitely made his mark in the music industry and I think that the best is yet to come from him. I mean, how many artist do you know have gained so much popularity and love without even putting out an album? He’s great now…just imagine when he becomes the greatest! It will happen…TRUST ME!
Below are some of Jay’s lyrics from the song:
Drake, here’s how they gon come at you, With silly rap feuds trying to distract you/ In disguise in the form of a favor The Barzini meeting, watch for the traitors/ and i’ve seen it all done it all, That’s why none of these dumb dumbs could done him off
Im not as cool with n-ggas as I once was, I once was, cool as the fonz was, but these bright lights turned me to a monster/ Sorry mama im promised they wouldn’t change me, but I woulda went insane, had i remain the same ME, F-ck nggas, bitches too, All I got is this money, this will do
