This past week Drake premiered his first single "Over" off his upcoming anticipated debut Thank Me Later. Evidently, this week T.I., fresh off of a year and a day prison sentence, released a street single to welcome him back. With both releases, I have to say I'm more pleased with T.I.'s track than Drake's.
"Over" is a good single, dont get me wrong, but with a first single for one of the most anticipated album since Detox (to be released never) I have to say its a disappointment. Overall, the track serves in the lyrical aspect and beat selection, but as a mainstream single it doesn't really pump you up as much as "Best I Ever Had" did or "Successful." I understand both of those singles there are from the infamous mixtape but this single seems like more a mixtape single as well.
It's good when an artist goes to showcase their lyrical talent on a first single but, in today's music industry you almost have to always have the club single ready first before showing what you can really do lyrically.
I think its a dope song and a great beat selection but, I'm still waiting on a single that really hypes me up for the upcoming album. This probably and definitely has to grow on me. With such a big buzz, you got to do better than this. Until then, I know the homey Drizzy got some heat in the bag.
T.I.'s however, from the head nodding/bass pounding beat by The Trackslayez to the hard hitting lyrics, Tip prepares everyone for the road ahead and all that's left to be said is
"Yall got less than 2 months to get yall thing together, Good Luck..."
