It Doesn’t Get Any Better

Drake was careful with choosing his track listing for his debut album Thank Me Later, from his point of view “Fireworks,” now the album opener , to the outstanding “Over,” which he described as a “turning point” on the album.

Drake told MTV in March, that he took a trip to Jamaica and that’s where recorded most of his album . “There was this calm before the storm, and ‘Over’ represented the storm to me. It’s the moment. Drake said that he wanted people to know that he was ready for anything, that’s how the song “Over” became

The second turning point, though, according to the Toronto MC, is “Light Up,” the tack has been leaked and it features Jay-z , produced by Tone Mason and Noah “40″ Shebib, the Brooklyn MC schools Drizzy on life at the top of the game. While the middle section of Thank Me Later is heavy on blockbuster collabos, including features by Nicki Minaj, T.I. Swizz Beatz, The-Dream and Young Jeezy, “Light Up” kicks off the concluding portion of the album .

” ‘Light Up’ really came from, Jay had a busy year, obviously, with The Blueprint 3 and the success of that and the tour,” Drake told MTV News about how the ‘tune came to be. Drake and Jay-z didn’t record in the same room with each other . But me and Jay have a lot of great conversations, man . So it would never just be like, ‘I’m gonna send you something, and we’re not gonna talk about it, and you send it back.’ We really talked about it.

“And Jay’s joint on the album is so important on the album, because it’s another turning point. Whereas ‘Over’ is a turning point for me, ‘Light Up’ … Jay, really, I think it’s one of my favorite Jay verses. Jay not only gave me a great verse, but a life lesson. And I think he’s gonna give everybody a life lesson just about this business. It’s incredible.”
