These Are The Top 10 Drake Songs Of All Time... But That's Just My Opinion

This article is strictly opinion based, I am not a music major and I will not be dissecting every song looking at samples and beats trying to find the perfect combo. This is just what songs I think, emphasis on the I, are Drakes best.

10. "Do Not Disturb" — "More Life"

This song debuted on the "More Life" album back in 2017. It wasn't one of his chart hitters but its a great song. The fast-paced tone and light tone of a woman singing in the background makes this a song you can bump when you're trying to get hype or on a long drive.

9. "You & The 6" — "If Your Reading This It’s Too Late"

A bid to his mother, Drake wrote this song as a letter to his mom. He discusses the struggles he faces with his new found fame. He also drops viscous bars such as "I pull the knife out my back and I cut their throats with it, mama." Similar to "Do Not Disturb" this song serves as a double threat of hype or vibe.

8. "Child's Play" — "Views"

A catchy hook and an upbeat tempo are two things that make "Child's Play" one of my favorites. I also like the humor behind the song as Drake details how girls can blow up in your face.

7. "Can’t Take A Joke" — "Scorpion"

One of my favorite songs from "Scorpion," this song was shadowed by hits like "Nonstop" and "In My Feelings." There is a very catchy repetitive bass and Drake has a flow that makes this song memorable.

6. "6 God" — "If Your Reading This It’s Too Late"

"6 God" is a cutthroat classic where Drake shows his enemies what he's about. The song starts off hot and keeps a fast pace the entire time. This is one of the best hype songs Drake has made.

5. "9" — "Views"

In this song, Drake praises himself for turning the "6" upside down and making it a 9. Drake is one of the most influential people, if not the most, to come out of Toronto. This is a great song that serves as almost a sad, but upbeat vibe.

4. "Worst Behavior" — "Nothing Was The Same"

This songs starts off quiet but jumps right into an instant bang with Drake jumping in. Drake wrote this song in order to detail his life growing up without a father, and how he never loved him.

3. "6 Man" — "If Your Reading This It’s Too Late"

One of my favorite songs due to the energetic and unique beat and crazy lyrical flow brought by Drake. There's also a lot of scream rapping going on which always gets me amped up.

2. "Marvin's Room" — "Take Care"

One of the most iconic feels songs ever, "Marvin's Room" can get anyone in their emotions, even if you're in a solid relationship you can't help to feel the pain Drake is portraying. The flow is also very smooth and the piano solo at the end is something else.

1. "Know Yourself" — "If Your Reading This It’s Too Late"

The big reveal. "Know Yourself" is one of Drake's biggest songs. It starts off as a vibe, with Drake flowing through the lyrics of "running through the six with my woes." Then halfway through the song, we get a sudden change where the song turns into a high octane powerhouse. Drake goes in, providing us with a song that will have you singing along before you even know it.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
