In twenty years, when we look back at Drake’s career, a slew of tracks will be viewed as his most quintessential - “Hold On We’re Goin’ Home”, “Started From the Bottom”, “Worst Behavior”, “Hotline Bling” and “One Dance”. #20- “I Get Lonely Too” - October 5, 2010 Without further ado, the 20 best “loosies” of Drake’s career. Nu mber-one eliminates “Hotline Bling,”, “Trophies”, and “The Motion,”, considering they ended up on projects after their initial release Number-two removes “Versace”, “2 On”, “Paris Morton Music”, and “Tuesday” - despite the fact that all four were better than the originals Number-three is self-explanatory And number-four allows the inclusion of - “0 to 100”, “Back to Back”, “Right Hand”, and “Summer Sixteen” - because they became stand-alone singles after their initial leak. If it became a stand-alone “single” after its initial release as a soundcloud or OVO Sound Radio cut, that’s fine.It cannot be a song Drake was featured on.It must be an original Drake song - no remixes.It must be unattached to any major project - either album or mixtape.The criteria determining each song’s inclusion on the list is simple and goes as follows: In hindsight, many of the songs unattached to a project are arguably better than the deep cuts which found their way onto his projects.Īnd so, we need to give these songs their proper due. These SoundCloud cuts - turned OVO Sound Radio leaks in recent years - have become as vital a part of Drake’s catalog as his album’s themselves.
Throughout his career, Drake has mastered the ability to bridge the gap between his major releases by dropping great songs on demand.
