“Fireworks” Featuring Alicia Keys Project: Thank Me Later Can you blame him? He had to keep people's attention throughout.ħ. In this case it’s clear that Drake saved the meat of his musicality for the main course and not the appetizer. It lacks that face-scrunching effect that an intro should have, especially when closer to two hours is being asked for someone’s listening time on an entire project. He’s talking extremely greasy as the victor, alluding to sending out actual hits. Scorpion, released three years ago, is Drake’s longest offering to date and it all started with “Survival.” Combing flexes like “my Mount Rushmore is me with four different expressions” and “house on both coasts, but I live on the charts” through a beat that sounds like it samples the 3D pinball game Space Cadet, Drake showcases his usual candid view about some industry situations that made him load up the clip and start blasting back at his enemies. There’s no room for fault on the first track of a 25-song album. Even looking at more minuscule examples like “Over My Dead Body” from Take Care ends with the vocals of DJ Screw, taken from E.S.G.’s 1995 track "Sailin' Da South.” And Care Package’s Take Care loosie “Dreams Money Can Buy” floats on the foundation of Jai Paul’s "BTSTU,” released in 2011 via MySpace. “Legend,” off 2015’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, flips Ginuwine’s R&B Hall of Fame entry "So Anxious,” a top 20 hit that was birthed in the year 1999. Tracks from the 20th and 21st centuries are often remolded to snatch the attention of listeners right out the gates, forcing melodramatic pulses to command people’s attention.
Untwining the DNA of Drizzy’s intros on his projects reveals that distorted samples are his cheat codes. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100-a feat that, with no shade, a lot of artists can’t reach with the 20-plus tracks on an entire project. Distant from the typical archetype of a commercially successful record, “Champagne Poetry” debuted at No. 1 on his most recent chart-topping, highly anticipated sixth album Certified Lover Boy vitalizes that reality as “Champagne Poetry” mimics the formula that made Nothing Was the Same’s “Tuscan Leather” a well-regarded classic: lyrics that take aim at Drizzy’s doubters and find him comfortable in his seat on the throne, three hook-less verses equipped with their own beat, plus a goosebumps-raising outro laced by Noah "40" Shebib. Drake’s intros aren't usually radio staples, but they still get play.
