"Ice cream conversations, they all want the scoop"

Since "Over," the first single for Drake's "Thank Me Later" came out back on March 5th, 2 other songs have leaked, "Fall For Your Type" (which just is a snippet that is under 2 minutes) and "Shut it Down-feat. The Dream." Both have Drake singing on the tracks, which he actually just as gifted at that as he is to rapping. "Fall For Your Type" isn't long enough for me to judge, but so far I like the theme of getting hurt by someone who is just like everyone else that has hurt you, and a lot of my friends have this track on repeat. I've been listening to "Shut it Down" often since it came down Sunday. As much as I like to say that I'm not the typical girl that needs to hear how beautiful I am, Drake is great at swooning me and making me feel otherwise. Its a simple song about appreciating a girl, a song, as he says on the track, for a girl to get ready to, so she can shut it down in a club, or wherever she goes really. Basically, Drake and the Dream is telling you this girl is the shit. When I really like I song, as always picture the video to it. (Click here for an interview with the director of "Over") I think it would be cool if it was just a bunch of regular girls "shutting it down" in there everyday life. It would be nice to see something different than the average video girls, which is recent years isn't even that popular anymore. And although at first I wasn't pleased with "Over" as the first single, it is pretty catchy and a perfect bridge from "So Far Gone" to "Thank Me Later." I'm pretty excited for it to come out, even though I haven't heard a release date.

I get to see Drake in concert on April 15th, but I don't really know what to expect. It could be pretty hype, but I think he really needs help with his stage presence (He sure does like to oscillate his hand lol.) But I guess that develops with time. Its kinda cute that he's awkward lol. Here's a performance from him on MTV Spring Break performing "Over"
