Hopefully Big Rings is released as a single! Hands down the BEST song of 2015. Drake murders that hook and boomin’ beat!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Drake’s throwaway tracks become hits. His diss tracks become hits. Most #1’s on the billboard hip-hop/r&b chart….EVER. Most songs on the Billboard 100 chart simultaneously…EVER. Most dominant run in the history of hip-hop. GREATEST OF ALL-TIME! The Weeknd will do the same in R and B. Toronto is home of hip-hop, r and b and soul. 6 til I die, OVO til I die!!!!
Why the fuck you lying? Why you always lying? Mmm, oh my God. Stop fucking lying.
