DRAKE – “ALL NIGHT LONG (MISS ME)”

Even the terrifyingly insipid rehash of this song on Thank Me Later can’t disguise the fact that this original cut is still there or thereabouts the best song of the year.

Drake spends the entirety of the track mockingly jogging backwards away from his past, mouthing ‘fuck yous’ into the camera (there’s always a camera rolling), trotting straight into his gold plated future, all the while dropping lines so confident the sun dulled a bit for trying too hard.

Definitely sounds like Drake won the Lotto twice. Worse for us still, he didn’t even need to. This is what he means when he talks about the life.
