The single version of this song included a verse by Kanye West and a brief appearance from Jay Z. He is mad that this person has ruined the Cheesecake Factory for him by fighting with him there, and once again he has no interest in holding back his pettiness. “Don’t make me take you back to the hood,” he says at one point, which will surely strike some listeners as problematic and cause them to accuse Drake of being a bad boyfriend. That is quickly corrected as a catchy instrumental follows a beat that will put a smile on your face.Like a lot of songs on Views, “Childs Play” demonstrates in no uncertain terms that Drake is not concerned about being jumped on by bloggers for having politically incorrect feelings about women. Singles, “ God’s Plan” and “ I’m Upset” follow before Drake gets loud on “ 8 Out Of 10.” The track opens on Drake shouting some lines with no beat or instrumental. One of the overall standouts from both discs is “ Emotionless” which bears a similarity to the sound of Views’, “ Weston Road Flows.” On the track, Drake talks about his newly born son, past relationships and he has some words of advice like, “ a wise man once said nothin’ at all.”ĭrake also acknowledges his newly born son (the subject of one of Pusha T’s diss tracks) as he states that, “ I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world I was hidin’ the world from my kid.” Drizzy goes off for five minutes on top of an extremely impressive instrumental that make this song a winner. You know what is on my mind, all I think about is hunneds.” “If you need me, you can’t call me, I stay busy makin’ money. This is demonstrated by the track’s only verse which is half sung half rapped by Drake as he focuses on his successes with lines like:
On “ Elevate” Drake blends singing with rap on top of a thumping beat. Anger is heard in Drizzy’s voice but the calmness of his delivery matches up perfectly with the beat. “ Nonstop” is an early favorite from the first disc as Drake brings aggression on top of vicious sounding beat produced by Memphis up and comer, Tay Keith. Scorpion’s first disc is solid track after solid track which kicks off with the slow-paced “ Survival.” This track features the Toronto rapper waxing lyrical over a unimposing instrumental as he addresses his career in the rap game thus far.
