The song really revs up in the second half, with a sinister beat anchoring his brags of - what else? - having the biggest pool of any rapper. “Summer Sixteen” (non-album single, 2016)ĭrake had a chokehold on the year 2016, and the takeover began with “Summer Sixteen.” Released that January, Drake (a decorated diss artist at that point) aimed his shots at the heads of Meek Mill and Tory Lanez. What A Time to Be Alive is mainly in Future’s wheelhouse - recorded in Atlanta, executively produced by right-hand Metro Boomin, and is mostly about the city’s grungy hustle - but Drake holds his own as the two join forces like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen to create a club-ready banger.Ĥ4. There’s plenty of standouts on Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive joint mixtape, from the former’s shameless outro on “Diamonds Dancing” to Future facing his demons on “Scholarships.” But “Jumpman” was a special one, as Future helped ignite his friend’s inner trap king.

Executing a rare double-time flow, both he and Lil Wayne drop catchy bars (“I learned Hennessy and enemies is one hell of a mixture”) before leaning into a sarcasm-dripping chorus over a synthwave guitar. On “HYFR,” Drake only focuses on his ex-girlfriends just for a moment before finally giving himself the freedom to have fun. This is Drake at his hungriest and we haven’t heard him like this since. Weezy ultimately takes the lead here, but he gives his mentee the spotlight to show off his talents. Lil Wayne often brings out the best in Drake, and the potential that he initially saw in the post- Degrassi star is highlighted all throughout “Ransom.” Forget a catchy hook, this song is about straight bars. The one thing holding this back is the overt “hashtag rap” that will keep it stuck in the ‘10s era. The huge hitter picks an tune with an appropriate punch… the nuclear warning siren.After years of building his name with mixtapes and being part of the Young Money crew, Drake showed he had something to prove with “Over.” The Grammy-nominated lead single of his debut album Thank Me Later showed it was evident the road to superstardom would become crowded as hell: “I know way too many people here right now that I didn’t know last year / Who the f**k are y’all?” Atop a boisterous beat via and Boi-1da and Al Khaaliq, Drake affirms that he has his eyes set on taking over the game. In addition to “Wheel,” Harper has Moby’s “Flower,” Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’s “Up & Away” and Frank Sinatra’s “The Best Is Yet to Come” on reserve.įinally, Texas Rangers’ first baseman Prince Fielder (.339) slides into fourth place. In between the rap records, country music fuels Arizona Diamondbacks’ Paul Goldschmidt (.340), with Florida Georgia Line’s “It’z Just What We Do.” Just below, Washington Nationals Bryce Harper (.339) adds Darius Rucker’s popular cover of “Wagon Wheel” to the mix, one of four cuts selected by the right-fielder. Miami Marlins’ second baseman Dee Gordon, who ranks fifth (338) walks to Big Sean’s “Guap.” Among the players with the highest batting averages (as of July 15), league leader Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers (.350) fittingly has “N***as in Paris,” which boasts two hip-hop heavyweights in Jay Z and Kanye West. The rap-baseballl connection seen thus far stretches to the individual player level as well. Classic rock again seizes the runner-up slot, this time via Led Zeppelin’s 1975 classic, “Kashmir.”

The cut – from Sean’s Billboard 200-topping album Dark Sky Paradise, was chosen by eight different players. With Drake and Big Sean boasting top five standing, it’s hardly surprising their recent collaboration, “Blessings,” is the league’s most popular track. Hip-hop acts round out the top tier, with Jay Z (11 occurrences) and Big Sean (10 occurrences) in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Shout out to Dalton Pompey of the Toronto Blue Jays, whose choice of “Know Yourself” gives the 6 God his sole spot on the Blue Jays’ roster.īesides Drake, veteran rockers AC/DC nab 14 appearances to secure the league’s runner-up record, led by 1990’s “Thunderstruck.” Just below, 13 occurrences locks up third place for country star Jason Aldean, whose “Gonna Know We Were Here” and “Just Gettin’ Started” are his most common entries. Notably, the Toronto native’s worldwide popularity didn’t quite transfer to his home team.
