TOP 1 intro till this day and possibly drakes best ever track imo. Will he ever top it?

No the 3rd beat switch to iconic to be topped

It's top ten Drake record for sure.

Accept Yourself.
You don't have to prove s*** to no one except yourself.

Man that third beat is jus unreal, did anyone else use to read that gq article where the guy was describing the song? I use to read that every single day no lie.

Drake and 40 swivel at the same time and start tapping the keys of their laptops, cuing up the first track off of Nothing Was the Same, a song called "Tuscan Leather"—a title, Drake tells me, named for a Tom Ford fragrance that some say smells like a brick of cocaine.

The truth is I have no idea what to expect. The paradox of Drake is that he's so multiple, he might write a love song sung by an Idol contestant ("Find Your Love") or something so raunchy you can't play it for kids ("Practice"). He could be rhyming about the kingdom of his material world, and then crooning about his spiritual state. He's a mama's boy who'll cut you up, though his tough-guy posturing seems occasionally halfhearted because, after all, he seems so kind of...decent.

Now comes the music, in a sudden blast, like green light through fog, the first notes strange and dissonant, in a lurching 3/4 beat. The intro hurtles and whiplashes, and a woman's voice, as if on helium, floats through the chaos, in the highest register, sorta funny and ghostly and beautiful. (It turns out to be a Whitney Houston sample.) The sound is an evocation of something that feels nostalgic and new, exuberant and menacing, at once. Which is when Drake's voice breaks through, rapping, pumped up, spitting nails. Both inside and outside the song itself, he keeps repeating, How much time's this nigga spending on the intro? How much time's this nigga spending on the intro? It feels like bedlam.

All the while, the real Drake sits with his eyes closed across the room, moving his lips, rapping to himself rapping. There's a verse, and then an as-yet-empty spot for a guest rap, and then Drake comes back under Whitney's helium voice. This time the words shift, as does the beat, becoming more sinuous and personal. Rising underneath the music, too, is a gentler keyboard riff, and by the time the third verse ends, the song rivers into a soft, ambient landscape that includes crowd noise and then, eventually, a voice—Curtis Mayfield's, at the end of a 1987 concert in Montreux—saying, "Having the same fears, shedding similar tears, and of course dying in so many years, it don't mean that we can't have a good life."

Then it outros on that beautiful repeating keyboard riff, and the Drake in the room, eyes still closed, scrunches his face, feeling every note. When it's over, he awakes from the spell. 40 remains hunched at the computer for a moment, letting the music settle into the silence. And then they both swivel in my direction again.

I've been dreading this moment, the ritualistic playing of the new album for the magazine writer. What if I don't like it? I'm not going to fake it. Both Drake and 40 are looking at me now, curious. I hold up my arm, and thankfully my arm doesn't lie: goose bumps. Drake's face breaks into a smile, and he says, "Ah, man, I didn't expect that—but for you to hear the emotion in it is amazing to me. This is my f***ing moment to say if I wanted to rap all the time, really rap, I would, but I also love to make music. I'll do this for you right now. But it's for me, too. It's my story."

His best intro is Lust for Life but Tuscan Leather is second.

Amazing f***ing song.

I hope he invites writers for the new album and we get pieces like this again.

wild

tuscan leather will chart next week most probably.

Drakes best intro and one of the best intro tracks of all time

The fact that this isn't even my favorite bar on this jawn is nuts

Agreed, over my dead body 2nd best intro imo tho

ay b??

Honestly from strep throat flows to the end of the verse is just one long scheme that plays off each line if you think about it. so, yes

first few lines: At least 3 different meanings of the word "record"

Keep it Thoro bar

Guy pearce in momento

this track is too crazy, Akademiks claimed he told Drake he needs to top Tuscan on this next album... 🤞🤞

I mean I'm sure he's trying lmao

I can't wait for the album bro. I bet this s*** about to be nuts because I don't think he even liked Greece but he seems so confident in the project

my expectations are flying through the roof on this one, I'm expecting a classic forreal

Good to see this song get its flowers. My favorite Drake song

greatest drake song ever

I’m just as famous as my mentor
