  • Drake had plans to release an R&B mixtape in 2010: ‘It’s Never Enough’

    Drake had plans to release an R&B mixtape in 2010: ‘It’s Never Enough’

    It’s Never Enough: Drake’s R&B mixtape that never saw the light of day

    In the early parts of Fall 2010, Drake was coming off a hot summer, having just released his debut studio album, Thank Me Later. The Canadian, soon-to-be superstar wasn’t done with releasing music. In fact, he was slated to drop a mixtape — an R&B mixtape — titled It’s Never Enough.

    The first track released for the tape was “I Get Lonely Too,” a slowed-up tempo song produced by Noah “40” Shebib. The song takes many pages from TLC’s 1999 track, “FanMail.” According to a 2010 MTV article, a 23-year-old Drake announced ‘I Get Lonely Too” was Drake’s favorite from the tape. He had planned on putting it out in October but pushed the release for later that year.

    “I don’t know if it’ll be this month,” Drake said to MTV, at the time of anticipation. It’s a lot of great music that we all enjoy listening to as a team. Gearing up for my next album, preparing people. What I said on my next album is that I didn’t necessarily wanna have full R&B songs. I just wanna find a balance like I did on So Far Gone. I wanna have more songs on my next album. I wanna give people that music. I’m really excited about It’s Never Enough. I might pick a beautiful woman and shoot a video. I have some ideas.”

    The R&B album never lived to see the light of day, but songs like “I Get Lonely Too” have found nesting grounds on Drake projects (Care Package), fan-made mixtapes, and the many vortexes of the internet. The following fall season, Drake dropped what has been heralded as one of his best albums, Take Care.

    In 2018, Drake released his album, Scorpion. On side B of the digital double-disc album, it’s full R&B, an idea that Drake has back pocketed for nearly a decade at the time.

Joining forces with TIME Studios, it’s been reported that Kanye West is not creatively involved with this documentary, despite allowing them to film him for over 20 years, according to Pitchfork.

    “Jeen-Yuhs,” which translates to “genius,” has been used by many (himself included) to describe his worldly contributions. The doc will take an in-depth look at Ye’s career, as well as personal moments, to give fans a different view of the 44-year-old, multitalented being.

    Future has put out a slew of hits, but none have hit the mark quite like this

    Drake and Future have found much success doing collaborations together. We can look back to “What A Time To Be Alive,” a joint project the two put out, and even in recent history, “Life Is Good.” Looking further into the present moment, “Way 2 Sexy” with Drake and Young Thug is currently sitting in the no. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the first single from Drizzy’s Certified Lover Boy album.

    Last year, Future almost came close with “Life Is Good,” but landed in the no. 2 spot. The 37-year-old songwriter, the rapper has seen much success, but this is still an amazing accomplishment for Future’s highly notable career.

    Drake occupies all but one spot on the top 10 hot 100 charts.
