My favorite Drake song OAT.
The vibes, the lyrics, the Bob Marley outro

What about free spirt and round of applause?

Free Spirit dropped on the 11th

Classic

At the clb album party in Houston they had Club Paradise styrofoam cups. It lives on

I just saw the time stamp on the blog. I knew he dropped them all in one night lmao. I was at a party that night and one dropped before and I remember pulling into a gas station and seeing ROA dropped

“My first lex Luger beat”

Damn time flies

I’d be willing to debate summer of 11 was his best summer.

He may not of had all the best hits or features, but that summer he dropped gem after gem

classic

classic track

ooof, iconic 💫

Top 15 songs of his career

nostalgic af
top tier drake

timeless song

still feel that this was drake at one of his most sonically and lyrically intriguing times

top 10 drake oat for me

Amazing song. Loved that era of Drake’s music. Probably haven’t enjoyed anything to that level since

Masterpiece

f*** man

10 years?! where is the time going man, goat song, goat era

Club Paradise is so f***ing good the introspective lyrics with great bars sprinkled in, the beautiful hook, the gorgeous production...

Everything about it just exudes a nostalgic longing for his old life as he sees how much him being gone has affected those he loves and the life of fame is filled with fakeness. He just wants to feel things that are real. He wants real love not the counterfeit s*** his new life is trying to deceive him with. He wants to let everyone back home know that he is still himself.

Club Paradise, Dreams Money Can Buy, Free Spirit, Trust Issues....whew the boy was on a f***ing roll. Can't believe they all weren't on Take Care. Drake keep sabotaging himself by putting out some of his best music as loosies or on EPs and mixtapes instead of the album. This the type of Drake that, if heard throughout a whole project, would be the undisputed GOAT.

Favorite lines:

"I be with my nigga Chubbs, he in love with street s***
No wonder why I feel awkward at this Fashion Week s***
No wonder why I keep f***ing up the double-cheek kiss
And long for that ignorant Young Money Miami Beach s***"

"How'd a pile of kush become a mountain of truth?
How'd a bottle of wine become the fountain of youth?"

"Damn, my biggest fear is losing it all
Remember how I used to feel at the start of it
And now I'm living a muhfucking fairy tale
And still trying to keep you feeling a part of it
Yeah, just lie to my ears
Tell me it feel the same, that's all I've been dying to hear
Lights get low and that's when I have my brightest ideas"

"Certain rappers would call me to say "What up, though?"
I used to brag about it to my friends
And now I'm feeling like all of these niggas cutthroat
And maybe that's all they do is just pretend
Damn, but I bought it though, I believed it
Yeah, I thought it and I achieved it
Yeah, so show me love, show me f***in' love
'Cause I thought it was all I needed
Yeah, clearly I was wrong about it all along
And this'll be the year that I won't even feel s***
They trip off the amount of people that I brought along
But I'm just trying to be surrounded by some real s***"

His pen is way better now but these 2011 loosies had something special

A classic, but damn its been 10 years. time flies

The amount of replays this track saw, really took it for granted when it dropped how iconic it would be.

Man I remember playing this so much in class on an old ipod
