Drake and Eminem dropped singles today, both are good

Eminem dropped his new single "Not Afraid" from his new CD "Recovery" and Drizzy Drake dropped "Find your love" produced by Kanye West. First and foremost, I'm gonna speak on Drake because his CD is probably gonna come out before Eminem's and this is his second single after "Over". I first became a Drake fan after listening to "A night off" ft Lloyd and I really vibed out to his singing on "So far gone" before i got into his rapping to be honest. This song is all singing, so i'm thinking its gonna do well with the female demographic and have them salivating for this degrassi kid for a little bit. It definitely has an 808s and heartbreak style beat which makes sense because Kanye produced it, but it is definitely a lot more upbeat/happy and doesn't have the T-Pain esque autotune that everybody seems to hate. I like it, i think i'll give it a few more listens before i say i love it, but its a solid song and i think it'll do pretty good on radio. Honestly, i'm expecting his CD "Thank me Later" to be a classic piece of work, he has everything in place for it to be a smash, big name features, solid producers, a team to keep it all flowing together well, and the talent. Now Eminem, my feelings about him have been weird as of late, i admit that back in the day he was an ANIMAL lyrically, he murdered Jay-z on his own song, "Lose yourself" won an oscar, the kid was unbelievable. Later in his career though i always felt he went too easily to the stupid raps where he sounded like an idiot and played around too much, i mean i can appreciate that in spurts, but i expect him to come with the real shit too. To me, the relapse was a failure, other than "Beautiful" i thought it was like ALL dumb/stupid rap and i really was disappointed with the come back. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT then he came with the "forever" verse and started dropping hard freestyles and stuff, and now comes out with the "Not Afraid" record, where he definitely is going hard. I like it, i'm so happy hes coming with stuff like this with the new Cd. He even mentions that "Relapse"was wack and says he'll never go back to that, which i'm ECSTATIC about. I really like the song, i'm expecting heat to come from this album. This is gonna be a good year for hip hop, theres Drake, Eminem, B.o.B., J.Cole, and probably some others, potentially Kanye and Dr. Dre (the Detox isn't gonna come out till 2029).
