Earlier this week rapper Drake released the highly-anticipated first single to his equally anticipated album, Thank Me Later. The song is called "Over" and it features Drake reflecting on how his life has changed since the young upstart made history with his milestone mixtape, So Far Gone, and signing with mentor Lil' Wayne's Young Money label. On the track a confident Drake boasts: "I swear, I got this shit that makes these bitches go insane/ So they tell me that they love me/ I know better than that, it's just game/ It's just what comes with the the fame..." The song is more like a celebration and declaration of things to come for the talented MC. Whether Drake can continue to write more impressive chapters in his premature rap career remains to be seen. Hopefully this single can match or surpass such past hits like "Successful" and "Best I Ever Had" (His biggest hit to date) from the Grammy-nominated So Far Gone. For now, we should appreciate watching one of the few new talents that can actually generate his own buzz, while also gain respect from fans, and rap peers alike. "I really can't see the end getting any closer/ But I'll probably still be the man when everything is over." Raise a glass and give a toast to the kid, because things are just getting started.
