Is this an excuse to simultaneously listen to the 6 God and Yeezus’ discography? Of course. A night ago, Kanye West showed up to Drizzy‘s Summer Sixteen Tour during its Chicago stop. Crowd erupts. But they did “Pop Style,” and that song is cool, but the Kanye version didn’t even make the album. What if the two megastars could’ve been on each other’s biggest hits? Let’s play DJ Khaled, and give Drizzy and ‘Ye a few more songs to perform on stage. Drake and Kanye West mixtape, six songs.
- “Keep The Family Close/Real Friends (Intro)” – A mash up of Drake’s Views intro, and “Real Friends” from The Life of Pablo. Drake, and Kanye talking family issues on the same track, iconic. Keep Ty Dolla Sign on this track, let he and Drake tag team a real melodic hook, cooking with the sauce. Drake should have one of those “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music” last verses, speaking of which……..
- “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music feat The Throne” – Kanye and JAY Z trading bars in the middle of Jigga’s “cake” scheme, oh man, oh man!
Kanye West Lyrics
Look at my wife, she got famous cakes,
speaking of Famous, that b*tch Taylor, wait,
I ain’t tryna get sued, I’m tryna keep my cake,
fuck that, I made her Famous, there goes another legal case
3. “Slow Jamz – feat Drake, Twista, Jamie Foxx” – Kanye taps Drake to help him remake the classic cut with Jamie Foxx, and Twista. Drake lends a slowed down flow about how he, and one or more of his exes used to listen to slow jams in the parking lot of a hotel, then goes into a ballad with Jamie Foxx vocals in the background. Kanye adds a new verse, and this is the commercial smash of the collaborative mixtape. Radio loves it!
4. “Controlla Remix (Drake & Kanye feat Charlie Wilson)” – Kanye pulls out the autotune, and goes all Yeezus on “Controlla”, tapping Charlie Wilson to assist the vocals. Kanye West gives a descriptive tale of sex life with Kim K, and how her sex appeal controls the public’s view of her. Drake’s doesn’t change much about his parts of the song, using it as an official remix. Everybody in all white linen for the video….Drake’s dad is there, of course.
5. “Power (Drake & Kanye)” – Drake bigs himself up in this remix of “Power.” Kanye West uses his verse to big Drake up as well. Drake takes ambiguous shots.
Drake’s Lyrics
People I used to look at as an idol, I’m talking kings of the Big Apple, now I’m the king at Apple, and I’m coming for the title,
Now every time I’m at the club it sounds like a Drake recital, secretly they look at my Views like its the gospel, but in public they act like they hate the Bible.
6. “Know Yourself/Mercy (Outro)” feat 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Pusha T, Lil Wayne & Future – Finish the tape off with a big anthem of an outro. Groundbreaking, Lil Wayne, Push, and Drizzy on the same track. Beef squashed. Let’s get this money. The Grammy’s will call to have this joint open up the show. It’s not all love though, everyone is sparring to be the best on the record, all taking subtle shots at each other.
Drake: “Kanye pushed for this, only reason I’m here, if God is the only fear, and I’m the 6 god, what’s the reason to fear?”
Pusha T: “Cocaine king, I’m propane’s kin, aay Ye, they better not take me light, like yo man’s skin. Long as this is all about the cream like off white, you know I don’t mind, I’m used to being around soft white.”
Lil Wayne: “Nobody better play with Drizzy wrong, especially on Drizzy song, I got a blunt full of problem, yeah my blizzy long, play with Drizzy wrong on Drizzy song, we show up to your step like a Christmas song.”
