The Internuts got their hands on Drake’s “The Real Her,” which may irk listeners who aren’t fans of R&B Drizzy. The mellowed tune sounds like a successor to “Houstonalantavegas” or maybe the sequel to the more recent track, “She Will,” if you want to view it at as a shift from the dancefloor of the party to closer, quieter quarters. Whatever the case, “The Real Her” is definitely an OVO love affair as Drake croons a tune directed at one of his many musical muses and Weezy comes through reciting lines that walk the fine line between simpin’ and pimpin’ before he decides accept a one-night stand. We may chide the YM brothers for the soft songs but they tend to make stronger, catchier love songs than most R&B singers because the two rappers have mastered melody and delivery and made the formula adaptable to whatever genre they choose to apply the techniques.
No official word on whether “The Real Her” will make Take Care or not.

Haven’t listened to the song yet, but I don’t think there’s going to be a Wayne song on Take care. As counter-intuitive as that seems, neither of them have mentioned it while discussing the album, and I doubt they would consider a Wayne feature to be a surprise. If you’re gonna tell people about Stevie & Andre there’s no reason to keep the Wayne feature a secret. Maybe I’m wrong though.

===================
no diss to Wayne, but he’s not on the level of those two dudes. he’d be an afterthought.
Nothing he’s leaked so far has been bad, but nothing has blown me out of the water yet except Dreams Money Can By.

“Headlines” is prolly my favorite thus far.
I like drake R’nB because he’s such an average singer that once the song gets stuck in my head and I start belting it out around the house from time to time, I can always outdo him.
That said, it’s Drake being Drake. Nothing he’s leaked so far has been bad, but nothing has blown me out of the water yet except Dreams Money Can By. Wayne’s verse wasn’t bad.
ughh – houstonlantavegas is one of my least favorite so far gone tracks
This is pretty much his lane…..pretty much what I expected.
Eh.
Eh..its cool. It’ll be overplayed and overquoted by tomorrow tho.
To me This > Marvin’s Room (no offense but MR puts me to sleep). I know (or at least hope) his album cuts are stronger then the stuff he been putting out. The only I guess weak song he put out is “Make Me Proud”.
Damn. Stevie Wonder!? I mean, that’s impressive. Stevie doesn’t do tracks for dough, I’m sure. He’s seeing something in Drake that some of y’all aren’t.
@Gotty- I’m mostly just surprised Wayne hasn’t mentioned it, as he’s discussed it on a number of occasions. My guess after hearing the song is that it was recorded during the Take Care sessions but will not make the album. The sound just doesn’t seem to match the rest of the songs we’ve heard so far.

mannnn me too!!!
this song is okay tho :/
This is probably the most boring track I’ve heard from Aub in a minute. I was falling asleep 30 seconds in.
you guys are so dramatic
Drake is a really mediocre singer…this song is quite boring. Im interested in hearing how a Drake and Steve Wonder song would sound like…better not be f**king duet i know that.
Do you think they pulled a “The Joy” and featured Stevie because it would be easier than clearing a sample?
We should be watching for a leak, its getting to be about that time..

Hahaha
I ain’t mad at Drake getting the Stevie feature… I’m mad he got it before Wale.
Wale’s Stevie love is evident throughout that boy’s Mixtape career.
BTW…. I actually like this one. Better than Marvin’s Room or Trust Issues or whatever. This comes on… In there like swim wear folk.
I play this kind of song when Im with my girlfriend. The minute she leaves I cut it
At the end of the day its just music.
He’s getting better at this melody thing…
But you can relate to the song, regardless of whether it’s “hard” or not.
The song is cool
I still feel like trust issues is the best post So Far Gone track drizzy’s let go.
sings about the same as ryan leslie…whose album was such a bore with great beats…this isn’t bad tho. tired of hearing lil wayne though. drake is boring but i’ll take this over him rapping and singing. shits annoying.
