Drake Summer Sixteen

Well Drake decided to not take a break and drop some new music last night. The song is titled "Summer Sixteen" of course referring to this upcoming summer. Drake premiered a new single tonight on his Beats 1 show OVO Sound Radio, and he announced that the long-awaited Views From The 6 will be out in April. Do I like the song? Yes, the song sounds like the 2015 "What a time" Drake but once again it's catchy. The beat is nice and fitting for that hard bass, while the simple hook makes it easy for you to catch a feel for the song. Inside of the verses Drake references his prolonged beef with Meek Mill and within the first bar takes what sounds like shots at President Obama, "Tell Obama that my verses are like the whips that he in, they bulletproof." Now yes, that statement could be dissected into so many implications, for instance; does Drake have a problem with President Obama preference of music referring to Kendrick Lamar? Or was that a simple statement in order to gain the attention of President Obama? Either way it goes, it's clear that Drake feels some type of way from President Obama statement, saying Kendrick Lamar would win in a rap battle over Drake. Idk, I guess we'll watch it play out, but as for the rest of the verses, Drake is boasting letting the haters keep on hating. He throws in how his pool is bigger than Kanye's but reiterated that the statement is not a shot towards Ye, just simply saying HOV & Ye are seen as GOATS and he deserves to be respected also as such. "Summer Sixteen" is a nice ride out type of song with actual meaning to the song, so I liked it for the most part. Even if I am over this repetitive sound that Drake displayed all last year, I still enjoyed the song.
