With The Carter III all over the Grammy's and Wayne still dropping tracks like there is no tomorrow, I haven't given him much listen lately, although I did get back into The Carter III for a little while. But Drake, with his mixtape So Far Gone, has provided me reason to listen to Weezy once again as his fellow Cash Money partner joins him on more than a few tracks.
But on this mixtape Drake outshines Weezy. Now the verses that Wayne drops are far from his best work, but Drake doesn't slouch. The mixtape is a strange one, not something you'd typically expect from Cash Money. Drake follows the current trend of going over some recent indie tracks, such as Lykke Li and Stangold, which both are actually pretty decent.
But the track that I enjoy the most is Drake and Weezy going over the crack beat from 'Ignorant Shit'. Drake adopts that stream of conscious flow that fits well on mixtapes.
