6pm in New York ~ Drake

6pm in New York by Drake is a song that starts with a old feel of a New York sample which gives listeners a feel of being in the city years before the recording. Although this is considered a Rap song but the use of instrumentation gives off a r and b feeling which is laid back for telling a story and that is exactly what drake did. The lyrics of the song is a ‘diss’ track towards a rapper name Tyga. What gave that away for me was the fact that drake stated that “you need to act your age not your girls age” which can be considered that drake is saying Tyga acting like a child considering she was 17 at the time. What motivated the song was a altercation that took place in a club named vibe drake used the song to respond to the problem. This began a hit and stirred up the beef but Tyga did not respond to the situation to this day and eventually the beef died off, but along side the drake dissing Tyga he teaches life lessons in his song, stated that “being number two is just first to lose” showing people in life try to shoot for the best and never give up until you become the best because when you do make it to the top you “you got to love”.
