So Far Gone Mixtape (Drizzy Review:2)

I personally had been waiting for this for awhile, but it seemed like it was just gonna keep being postponed, and I hella forgot about it. I didn’t get hip to it til about 1 week after he released it, and might I say….It was kinda worth the wait.

Drake: So Far Gone
Let me start off by saying, I had no idea what to expect from this mixtape, but when I heard “Say what’s real” awhile back I knew it was something to be anticipated. I wasn’t disappointed at all, when I first gave this a full listen through I was not at all let down by the homie, and I haven’t stopped listening to it since. Aside from his dope rhyming skills he expresses a lot more vocally as well. Aside from “Brand New” which has become a favorite to a lot of people, I think “Sooner or Later” is definitely a strong track right along with “Best I ever had”. One of my favorite tracks (not that I have ANY I would consider not a favorite) off the mixtape would have to be “Lets Call It Off” original version by PB&J (Peter, Bjorn, and John). It’s completely different from what you’re used to hearing from this dude, but I definitely wouldn’t put it past him. There are a lot of artist attempting to blend genres and he’s definitely not the first, or the last but I think he does it very well. I can relate to the tone ,which to me comes off as more serious or heavier than his previous mixtapes.
At times the flow of the mixtape in it’s entirety gets lost in the various collabs. Which is why I’m not a big fan of too many collabs on an artist’s cd. At time it can make the main artist seem more the feature , as if the sound was sculpted to fit the style of the featured artist. Unlike Comeback season, There are a few songs that could have been taken from other mixtapes or even inspired their own entire album on it’s on, but together they don’t seem to have a constant flow. I skip around a lot more than I do when listening to Comeback Season.
Aside from the many collabs,This definitely seems like the most personal of all the mixtapes, and a lot more heart has been put into it. He talks about his career thus far, and explores the everything from breakups to obsessions.

I respect how divers all three of his mixtapes have been, and he’s shown definite growth with every new project, and I think he’s coming into his own. Can’t wait to see what’s next from Drake.

This is just a small ration of my thoughts regarding SO Far Gone, didn’t want to make this too long.
I want to know what other people think of it, so leave a comment a voice your opinion.
Overall… I think it was dope, what do you think?
