Drake - Forever

i havent listened yet, but if this isnt classic, im goin to swallow a knife.

could've been better

This joint is really great. I remember the leaked version from last year when Drake was really getting a buzz up with Lil Wayne.

This is a joint of epic proportions. In my opinion, (and I'm sure you will all agree), Eminem had the best verse. The delivery was undeniable. I thought Kanye and Eminem did their thing. I'm not hating on Lil Wayne, but I really feel the track could have did without him...lol (I've been verbally attacked on other blogs because of this). Overall, I'm not a big fan of the production (never have been), but this is too dope of a joint to not call it a BANGER.

good for a collab Eminem>Drake>Kanye>Wayne Forever>SLU

Holy sh*t, what a lineup!

Drake - He killed this! And his hooks are always legit.
Kanye - Some dope lines on here. Sounded great on this production.
Lil' Wayne - Uhh... dope, as usual.
Eminem - Very nice surprise to see him featured on the track and he had a sick flow!

Wow, this has got 5 stars written all over it.

By the way - I know I've heard that hook before... was that on Drake's mixtape?

em killed it

its crazy cuz i have so many (pre-deal, mixtape) drake songs on my mp3 player and when they come on, i automatically listen. cuz the songs are HOT. these last cpl songs all seem like throwaway tracks to me..

but yeah im not actually feeling the singin on here.
kanye was nice. wayne did good and em did good too.
drake, in my opinion got shined out of his own song. im rating 3.5 stars for everyone else. im roundin down cuz i know this song finna get like 5 stars from like errybody

damn i thought this was suppose to hit net on Friday, Drake sounds a lil diff but hes raw as hell on this, good hook, Kanye does his thing, he neva seems to disappoint when hes featured, lil wayne was alright, Eminem is great on this, god damn hot @ss song, i like the beat to

BTW - this is way tighter than "Swagger Like Us" which was a bit of a disappointment.

Heard about this concept earlier today but wasn't expecting it to be released today (gotta love the booth!) But I was highly impressed with this! No way could it have lived up to the hype because expectations would be impossible (as we saw with Swagger Like Us) but I think this is one of those songs that can definitely stick around for a while. Everyone was equally impressive on this, and the beat was hard. Definitely gave off that sport-related kind of track.

Looking forward to an updated version of this that's supposively featuring another R&B artist on the hook.
PS - Go Cavs! 09-10 NBA Champs! LOL

i think Drake=Em>Kanye>Wayne

DRAKE > EM > KANYE > WAYNE

this is a HOT HOT HOT song...gonna get SERIOUS love
Em goes really hard....the ONLY problem I have with "Super" collabs is the verses dont have alot of cohesion....overall tho great lineup, banger.

WOW, I wasn't expecting this at all! This is CLASSIC! Making me want to see the movie, the promotional singles are fire! Eminem killed it, for once. Ever since The Warning, he's been on a killing spree! I actually didn't mind that this song was 6 minutes long.

I can't wait to hear all those "lebron=jay z = nj nets" people after this record..."lebrons going to the Toronto raptors! lebrons going to the Detroit pistons! lebrons going to the new Orleans hornets! lebrons going to the Chicago bulls!" LOL

Amazing, not Marshall Mathers em but sick nonetheless. Drake sick, Kanye sick. I agree that Wayne seemed out of place.

I saw this lineup and immediately knew it was gonna be good...especially with Eminem joining that group.

Everyone goes hard on this one...sick song. (but not 5 stars, sorry)

@cb - Go Cavs baby!! They seriously need to win a championship. I'm gettin pissed lol

Not feeling it. There's nothing special or even memorable. Drake just saying forever 5 times just gets annoying.

I wasn't impressed by any of the vereses either, Drake was alright but I've heard better. Lil Wayne is simply overrated and his voice is getting so annoying.

Kanye and Eminem came the hardest with some dope lines but Kanye still sounds a litte corny and Em sounded out of place with all of these rappers.

Really disappointed. Oh yeah, I'm not trying to sound like I'm hating or being overrcrital. You know how some people get defensive with their favorite rapper.

em proving he still got it

eminem puts up drake not his best kanye does his thang wayne whatever

umm not really feeln this

Wow Em killed it on this track. This track set to footage of Lebron James dunking on people will make for a very nice documentary. I want this thing forever mane.

Drake and Em smashed right here. Kanye started great, but dropped off. Wayne was good, not great. Drake cotinues to kill choruses. production keeps this from bein a 5 to me. there was nothin special bout it.Drake=Em > Kanye=Wayne.Forever>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SLU

GStan The hook was used in a Lil Wayne "I Want This Forever" bout a year ago...
As for this version... Eminem. Enough Said

I had to listen to this again and say that Eminem KILLED this.

Gotta say, I'm a little surprised to read people say this is way better than Swagger Like Us. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I'm not a particularly big fan of Forever's hook and/or production.

Regardless, anytime you get MCs of this caliber on one track it's a historical moment. Gotta give it to Drake, he holds his own next to some real heavyweights (though his "sprained ankle" reference is amusing considering his currently injured status). No doubt the real story here is Eminem - this is the flow I've been waiting for him to drop for years, the moment he proves he still belongs in the best rapper alive conversation. Literally just rewound his verse back five times, absolutely bananas.

was em sending out disses?
"hes wonderin if he should spit this slow, @*#$! no!" kanye, wayne, and drake are slow spitters.

"waiting for pinochio to bump his nose back in the game" Gucci referenced pinochio and his nose growing in mariah's obsessed track

i'm really feelin this. it's goin in my mp3 player and staying there! lol

Very well written. OH SH** Eminem came hard with it at the end. I wish he would do this with his own songs instead of making fun of stank irrelevant ho's! Song is a TEEE N' TEEE N' 10

WOW THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I THINK EMINEM WOULD WORK WIT THESE CATS BUT I LOVE THE COLLABO

Big time up grade, I wish I never heard the OG version. Eminem is a @*#$! beast. He killed um all.

this song is a beast.

ok somebody clear this up for me...kardinal and rock city made a track a while back called bring it back. had the same beat (or just really similar), but drake jacks the original hook that rock city laid down on this? any answers?

as for the track, hard to not give it at least 4 stars. much like swagger like us, destined to be a huge record on star power alone

sounds hot

This SOUNDS like it should be in a movie, and what do ya know it is. This is another SLU, which is great in it's own right, and was amazing live. Don't think it will be as big though, could be wrong.

That piano in there is hott!!!!

Yes the definite SLU for this year.Drake actually went really hard due to criticism of him rapping bout girls all the time. Kanye was dope / lil wayne...Wtf is up with him really..huh u know. Eminem was a shock to see on this almost to hard to believe, but he killed it.

@*#$! who crticize eminem because he still got it

WOOOOAAAAHHH!!! I was on the edge of my seat before every verse and no one disappointed. Wayne still isnt at his best but its a lot better than what he's been doing lately. Drake killed. Kanye was hot. And Eminem was insane. I havnt heard him on such a commercial track like this but he still did his thing.

Eminem just ripped this harder than pretty much all the tracks on his own last album, real talk. E1 came correct, my only slight gripe was the production felt a bit under-stated (forgettable even) for a line-up of this caliber.

This is FIRE

wow i cant even believe this track right now. I have to say i am not disappointed at all they all killed this track,proving that they are some of the hottest in the game right now.

p.s. all are great on the track but eminem seems to just be a lil bit better

I be lovin this one

Holy..... Crap.

This is like.. woah

drake can drop the auto tune, but its still a classic, Em killed this

Wow, wat a collabo!! 4.999999 outta the 5 stars are just for Em, Lol. But damn sounds like hes jabbing back at Gucci with that Pinnochio line.

"Labels want my name beside an X like Malcolm" Drake went so hard

dope song geting pumped tho my ipod and ride chur !!!

keepin it gangster

Shit their are a unbelievable amount of comments for this track (already).

The hook is tight from Drake, the production from Boi-1da is good, though probably didnt warrant such a all-star line up over it.

Em>Kanye>Drake>Wayne

If only Eminem would use more production like this on Relapse 2.

This is much better then Swagger Like Us (I hate those auto-tune verses)

This joint is so @*#$! good i have to get it

I want this forever, greateast,dope needs A beat on it's own.imo

Wow. They all come out so strong! Great teamwork

em>weezy>Drake>Kanye West

Next song to hit the radio.

em dissed gucci weezy Drake
@*#$! no, go for broke, his cup just runneth over oh no - at Kanye

bashin into the brains of these hoes, and establishin a name as he goes - at Drake

rewind it,payback @*#$! for the way that you got at me hows it taste? when i slap the taste,out of your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place - at Wayne

Wow… this lineup kinda blew my mind .... Eminem was the clear top, and I think Drake, Wayne, and Kanye could be arranged in numerous ways and i’d be fine with it. I thought Kanye’s lyrics started off strong, but got weaker as it went along. But Kanye has killed every feature he has been on this year. With the rest it seemed to be the opposite, where the verse got better as it went along.

Em’s best were:

they been waitin patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose
back into the game and they know, rappin’ll be the same as befo’
bashing in the brains of these hos and establishing a name as he goes
the passion and the flame is ignited, you can’t put it out once we light it
this sh*t is exactly what the f*ck that—im talking about when we riot

Wayne's:

And I would never stop, Like Im runnin from the cops
Hopped up in my car and told my chauffeur to the top
Life is such a f*cking roller-coaster then it drops
but what should I scream for, this is my theme park
My mind shines even when my thoughts seem dark

Ye:

Chasing the stardom’ll turn you into a maniac
all the way in hollywood and I can’t even act
they pull they cameras out and god damn they snap
I used to want this thing forever, ya’ll can have it back

Drake's:

Dropped the mixtape that s*it sounded like a album
who’da thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
labels want my name besides the X like Malcolm
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one


Actually, unlike S.L.U all came correct. They all had there strong points (quotables) in there verses but im not a huge fan of this beat/hook in comparison with S.L.U .....

[Drake]

last name ever
first name greatest
like a sprained ankle boy I ain’t nothing to play with
started off local but thanks to all the haters
I know G4 pilots on a first name basis
in your city, faded off the ground–Nino
She said she got more class, We know
Swimming in the money, come and find me-Nemo
If I was at the club you know I bawll (bald) Chemo
Dropped the mixtape that sh*t sounded like a album
who’da thought a country wide tour would be the outcome
labels want my name besides the X like Malcolm
Everybody got a deal, I did it without one
Yeah, Nigga I’m about my business
Killin all these rappers you would swear I had a hit-list
everyone who doubted me is asking for forgiveness
If you ain’t been a part of it, at least you got to witness (it)
B*tches ....

[Kanye West]

I used to have hood dreams Big fame, big chains
I stuck my d*ck inside this life Until that b*tch came
and went hard all fall like the ball teams
just so I could make it rain, all spring
Ya’ll seen my story, my glory
I had raped the game young, you could call it statutory
when a ni*ga blow up, they gon build statues of me
Old money, benjamin button, what!? nuttin
Superbad chicks giving me Mclovin
you would think i ran the world like Michelle’s husband
You would think these niggas know me when they really doesn’t
Like they was down with the old me, no you f*cking wasn’t
He’s such a f*ckin loser, he ain’t even go to class, bueler
Trade the grammy flags just to have my granny back
remember she had that bad hip like a fanny pack
Chasing the stardom’ll turn you into a maniac
all the way in hollywood and I can’t even act
they pull they cameras out and god damn they snap
I used to want this thing forever, ya’ll can have it back

[Lil Wayne]

Ok, hello is the martian
Space Jam Jordans
I want this sh*t forever, Wake up and smell the Garden
fresher than the harvest, step up to the target
If I had one guess, then I guess I’m just New Orleans
And I would never stop, Like Im runnin from the cops
Hopped up in my car and told my chauffeur to the top
Life is such a f*cking roller-coaster then it drops
but what should I scream for, this is my theme park
My mind shines even when my thoughts seem dark
Pistol on my side, you don’t wanna hear that thing talk
Let the king talk, check the price and pay attention
Little Wayne, that's what they gotta say I mention
I’m like Nevada in the middle of the Summer
I’m resting in the lead, I need a pillow and a cover
My foot’s sleeping on the gas, No break pads
No such thing as last, uh .....

[Eminem]

There they go
Back in stadiums as Shady spits his flow
nuts they go, macadamian, … they go so balistic.. wow
he can make them look like bozos he’s wondering if he should spit this slow
f*ck no, Go for gold
his cup just runneth over, oh no
he aint have a buzz like this since the last time he overdosed
they been waitin patiently for Pinocchio to poke his nose
back into the game and they know, rappin’ll be the same as befo’
bashing in the brains of these hos and establishing a name as he goes
the passion and the flame is ignited, you can’t put it out once we light it
this sh*t is exactly what the f*ck that–im talking about when we riot
you dealin with a future villain so stand inside of the booth truth spillin
that spit true feelin until our true feelings come flyin up out of our mouths and rewind it
Payback motherf*cker for the way that you got at me now how’s it taste
when i slap the taste out your mouth with a base so loud that it shakes the place
I’m hannibal lecter so just in case you thinkin of saving face
you ain’t gonna have no face to save by the time im through with this place
so Drake…

WOWOWOW!

Eminem has officially spat the best verse I've heard this year. Overshadows the other three combined.

Drake has skills. Can rap, and can sing like Chamilitary Koopa. I'd just minus out the auto-tune.

I am getting tired of hearing Lil' Wayne.

Kanye has considerable swagger, but I'm getting slightly annoyed of his songs.

CLASSIC, way better than S.L.U.

plus i find it great that Em murdered everyone on this track, especially since Wayne was sayin that he was too scared to get on a track with him a while back...be careful what you ask for

Drake - killed his verse and the hook!
Kanye - destroyed his verse!
Lil Wayne - he delivered on this track.
Eminem - definitely had the best verse!
The production was good too. Overall, a banger!

@ GStan10 & cb: I'm a LAKERS man, looking for a repeat this year!

wow, u wait so freaking long time for sh!t like this, EMINEM was on roll !!

Epic

Far As The HOOK and His VERSE...(DRAKE) Was On Point, (KANYE) Did His Thing, (LIL WAYNE) I Really Don't Too Much Care For, But (EMINEM)...WOWWWW, (THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE IN MY OPINION) By Far, Had The BEST Verse...HE MICHAEL MYERS THAT SHIT!!!

Drake is one of the best rappers out right now! he crushes all ARTSITS STOP GETTING ON TRACKS WITH HIM LOL.. (Phil Nash needs to get on here)

but any ways back to it.. K.West verse sucked he trys to hard. wayne is wayne. nothing special though.. and EM well you already know hes still one of the top dogs! Its crazy track, it needs to stop being re-made though! great ending!

I had to give this one a classic rating.

can't really think of shxt to say. i'm goin thru drama and my mind is fxckin clouded but this shit is fire so, classic

em dissed gucci weezy Drake
@*#$! no, go for broke, his cup just runneth over oh no - at Kanye

bashin into the brains of these hoes, and establishin a name as he goes - at Drake

rewind it,payback @*#$! for the way that you got at me hows it taste? when i slap the taste,out of your mouth with the bass so loud that it shakes the place - at Wayne

Boi-1-da made a killa track. Drake was alright, Kanye's verse was dope and Em straight up ripped it. Wayne was Wayne on this track. Better than a banger, but not a classic, 4.5

lyrically top notch! Drake kills it. . Kanye ALWAYS!!! kills it. . Em left me speechless. .Beat and hook left me slightly disappointed.. with a super collabo like this wish that element was on the same level as the verses. overrall still hot

Look at this kid why would he be dissing someone he is on a track with -_- Likw DJ Something go somewhere please. he may be dissing gucci but thats about it

Lyrically cant be stopped when someone comes harder than him on a solo track like he did on Congratulations than they can top him. He came correct everyone did end of story. Im just glad that they came together for such a track like this one and Drake will be the future. just needa stop falling on stage

nice for the moment but you'll get tired of hearing after a while. but for the moment, tight song

this is hot

the verse were all nice. Em's had the best presence. the only thing slu had over this song is that , slu had a catchier hook. Banger.

Drake thinks he's the best now... so so sad.

I wish I hadnt heard the orginal song already, but nonetheless. Awesome.

4.5/5

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY ARE RELEASING AN UPDATED VERSION WITH A FEW TWEAKS (REMASTERED) TOMORROW. WE WILL SWAP OUT THE NEW VERSION WHEN ITS AVAILABLE.

THANKS, DJBOOTH READERS.

4 best rapper..

GAHHH Em's a @*#$! beast! number 1 @*#$! dude out there!

ok first of all with all the comparison wit this and SLU, remeber the original slaughterhouse song dropped around the same time as SLU and slaughterhouse was way better that slu, in all aspects to me. lyrically i still think that slaughterhouse is maybe a millimeter pass this only cuz wayne dropped the overall feel for me. but i think kanye killed this song followed by em and drake. if anythin this proves that lyrically drake can hold his own with some indusrty heavy weights and gives him more credibility than just bein a female geared artist

this will prolly be the most rated track this year

Good delivery by all. Em had the best lyrical content. The chorus was alittle monotonous,but overall it has potential. I wouldn't compare it to Swagger Like Us, but the song holds it's own.

This is amazing! I'm glad Em's back with the undisputed flow. Kanye's delivery is always great and he's been on fire since he got back to rapping. And someone still had something "bad" to say about him: "he tries too hard"! -_-' yeah, yeah, yeah... talk about having nothing to point out against him!

@Z - Ha, that was nice: "DJBooth.net won’t offer a "shady" answer; we’d rather our readers decide" :p But I guess nobody read the blurb with such an epic record!

@Mr Top Hat: Good job with the lyrics, thanx!

@DjBooth family: Miss the booth activity, hope all members are having great vacations! Back to the beach again...

The hook i kinda weak and the production too, but each of them delivered good lyrics. I've never been Eminem fan mostly because of the comedy rap, i have heard deep track from him and usually their are great.

Mind = Blown.

this sOng is the shit i lisOn tO this sOng gOin dOwn the rOad it beats hard and drake be gOIn hard

At first I was really blown away by the verses...all 4 were fire..but after a second listen..I'm not really feeling this a song..it lacks synergy...just as SLU..4 great rappers don't neccesarily make a great song..

Em went hard on this one. I was a little disappointed because I knew the kid Drake could've put down something better. A collaboration with Slim Shadyy is something that the people have been waiting for, and I feel that Drake couldn't keep up with Em on this track.

WOW!! Shady definitely came hard on this one!

cLASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I wonder how 50 Cent feels about Em on a track with Lil' Wayne....

No 5 stars from this guy...-1 cause drake sucks

this song really grows on u... tha production of this vs SLU- SLU>Forever... Howeva,in comparin tha verses of tha 2 songs, Foreve>SLU cuz on SLU Kanye and Wayne use autotune... Best verse on this in order: Em>Kanye>Drake>Wayne

AAAHHHHHH MY EARS FEEL SOOO GOOD!!!

I hate the hook but everything else is money. Drake, weezy, and kanye all take 2nd because Em is clearly back
