Drake - Do It All
Artist: Drake
Producer: Rob Holladay
Album: No More Thank You's Mixtape
Label: YMCMB/Universal Motown
This weekend, the ‘nets were set ablaze by news that none other than Aubrey “Drake” Graham would be dropping a brand new mixtape. While No More Thank You’s has yet to emerge, and appears to be an unofficial release, that hardly lessened the excitement over the project, which will reportedly feature a couple previously-unheard cuts along with material that had been floating around the web for some time. A member of the former category, this leak finds the artist reminding listeners that he can, indeed, Do It All. No one who listened to Thank Me Later should be surprised by the topics touched upon here – relationships, fame and fortune, weed, liquor, Drizzy’s ambivalence in regard to all of the above… – but his delivery is as appealing as ever, and Rob Holladay‘s ethereal synth boardwork is as intricately-textured and musically adventurous as anything we’ve heard the Young Money megastar spit over. Here comes the big question: should Do It All have made the cut for Drake’s debut full-length, or was the decision to leave it on the cutting-room floor the right one? Ready… set… debate!

Plain to see why this was a leftover on 'TML'. Yet I think it will get some listens in. Good but not great, kinda the same reaction to all his music as of late.

He should have put this on his album. The production is solid and he kills it like usual

I agree with x20nickle - glad they left this off the debut if infact it was originally recorded for inclusion. For most artists this would be a very solid album track, but for the budding musical icon that Drake is aiming to become its something that probably would have been better left unheard.

in a day where hip hop beats often sound so similar, thi sparticular beat is very creative and unique. i can also see why this isnt on the album, but its certainly above avg. i feel like its album quality, however it doesnt mesh with his album.

I used to be a pretty big Drake fan until I began to listen to better stuff. Then I realized that he really isnt that good (or maybe it was the music he was putting out). Idk, i think he was good before YM, but since then he's been weak.
His flow is the exact same on every single song. The exact same. And its very boring. His lyrics are the exact same in every song. The exact same. And unoriginal. This song is nothing different. If I would have heard this 1 year ago, I would give it a 4. But now it's a 2 because he hasn't changed at all. |

To me, Thank Me Later was a near-classic. It was one of those rare albums where I actually wanted every single song. I can see why this was left off, but that said, its still a solid song. I'm digging the beat-change from the chorus to the verses. Drake does what he has to on the chorus, but nothing spectacular.

I agree wit Joe92. Drakes latest releases have been the same concept over and over again. i'll still give this a non-bias 4 because its a good track, but soon i won't be able to listen to his voice unless he raps about other topics. stuff less superficial

Definitely wouldn't work as an album track, but its a great mixtape banger! Keep it coming Drizzy!

How long is Drake gonna keep rapping with the same style? His flow is the same and the lyrics were weak through the entire song. Then the singing on one note he does is starting to get boring, luckly Rob Holladay's beat saved this from being a complete waste.
The production was the savior of this and I guess no matter how bad of a rapper anyone is, the beat makes it listenable. Another rapper on this would have made this song a banger. |

This isn't half bad, I can see it on the album, maybe as a replacement to "The Resistance".

It's alright, and the more I listen to it the more I like it. But like Nathan said on RefinedHype, it just doesn't grab you like other tracks on Thank Me Later. The production is pretty good, Drake's lyrics are above average, the hook is the worst part for me. 3.5 out of 5.

I didn't like the prodoction change from verse to hook back to verse. It all seems so dissembled and jumbled. I don't care if its Drake, a subpar track is a subpar track. Drake, vocally or lyrically was not that impressive on here.

I really like how different this one is. I actually think it would have fit in with the album, mostly because of the production. Maybe a bonus track.

x20nickel nailed it right from the first comment. This is a nice track, but it sounds like a slightly poorer version of the tracks that made it onto TML.
"I'm trying to f**k Tinkerbell in Never Never Land." Let's just say it's not the best verses Drizzy has ever written. Still enjoyable though - average for Aubrey at best. |

Good choice by Drake to leave this off TML, though its probably still better then a few of those slow R&B joints he had on there. Production is decent and Drake sounded reasonably good with both his singing & rapping.
3.5 |

This beat sucks bad. Then Drake is not even spittin fire anymore. When he first drop the So Far Gone EP he had hot beats and dope rhymes. But his rhymes have been lukewarm lately.

Its alright... Drake better change it up soon or he will fall to the way side... The "Great Light Hype" is starting to sound the same, which is a shame because I really enjoyed his first album... and want him to succeed.
