After months, and months of changed release dates, the wait is finally over. Drake's "More Life" playlist is now available.
Love him, or hate him, Drake is one of the most successful music artists of his generation, so anytime he drops a new project, you can always expect tons of opinions to come flying in. Including from the sports world. Considering how closely tied Drake's music is to sports, it only makes sense that some of the best reactions to More Life included some solid sports references.
Back in January LeBron James tweeted the message "Sometimes I gotta just make sure that i didn't lose you. Did I?!?! Did I?!?! Did I Lose You." At the time, it seemed like nothing more than another cryptic LeBron tweet. But as keen listeners have noticed, the line is a lyrics from one of the tracks on More Life, meaning that LeBron had early access to it. Of course he did.
The Big Lead decided to comb through the freshly released playlist's lyrics and highlight some of the sports references featured throughout the project. Some of the lyrics feature explicit themes, which you probably expected anyways.
“I took the team play from Oracle Mama never used to cook much Used to chef KD Now me and Chef KD”
- Free Smoke (Drake)
“You don’t know me, you better get to know me Stand up tall, right next to Kobe”
- Drake/Skepta Interlude
“Michael Phelps with the swim moves Skrrt, skrrt, oh Michael Jordan with the tennis shoes Skrrt, Skrrt, oh”
Portland - Quavo
"Oh, triple double, Russ face Watch with the bust face Never met the plug, but I rap about the plug face Never met my self, I don't remember who I was face."
Can't Have Everything - Drake
The playlist has only been out for a few hours, but it's already received a number of ringing endorsements from athletes, including Marcus Stroman. A man who knows a thing or two about bars as well.
So, what are your thoughts on More Life?
