DJ Khaled lanzó no una, sino dos colaboraciones con Drake, “POPSTAR” y “GREECE”. Los temas, dados a conocer de manera simultánea son los primeros sencillos de Khaled Khaled, disco que el productor lanzará este año.
Drake y DJ Khaled ya habían trabajado juntos en tracks como “I’m on One” (2011), “No New Friends” (2013), “For Free” (2016) y “To The Max” (2017). “POPSTAR” y “GREECE” fueron lanzadas con dos visuales cada una; el primero, de animación digital y con elementos representativos de ambos artistas― el búho de OVO Sound (Drake) y la llave (DJ Khaled); y el otro, con grabaciones breves.
Menciones y referencias en “POPSTAR”
En “POPSTAR”, producida por DJ Khaled, DAVID x ELI y OZ, Drake rapea sobre el éxito que ya ha tenido en este año. El track se centra en hacer alarde de su fama, principalmente diciendo que parece que Scooter Braun, ―manager de Ariana Grande y Justin Bieber―, se encarga de su carrera. Esto por supuesto no es así y más adelante el canadiense menciona a Grande, Bieber y Selena Gomez.
La rola se centra en el estilo de vida de Drake que, aunque a veces cante y no solo rapee, para nada hace bubblegum pop o algo así de simplón. También habla sobre no tener límites de crédito en sus carteras y su colección de relojes. “POPSTAR” también incluye un juego de palabras interesante relacionado con Kevin Costner y Whitney Houston, protagonistas de The Bodyguard (1992).
En el Visualizer 2 de “POPSTAR”, el productor aparece en un vehículo en movimiento y muestra sus autos de lujo haciendo alarde de sus posesiones:
Menciones y referencias en “GREECE”
En “GREECE”, rola de DJ Khaled producida por TIGGI y OZ, Drake le promete a su ligue una vida de lujos, para después lamentar lo apegada que ella está a él. En el track, con algunas frases en francés, el canadiense habla acerca de sobrevolar París para llegar a Grecia. También menciona marcas como Gucci, Louis Vuitton y Rolls Royce.
En “GREECE”, Drake también menciona el exclusivo club de playa Nikki Beach Worldwide, su casa en The Hidden Hills (Los Ángeles) y las Islas Turcas y Caicos.
En el Visualizer 2 de “GREECE” aparece DJ Khaled con una mujer en un jacuzzi.

Busy at the crib, cookin’ salmon with the lobster

Bodyguards don’t look like Kevin Costner, you tweakin’

They tell the same story so much, they start to believe it
The ones that start like, “Drizzy’s shit was cool, but we even”
Man, how the fuck?
Two, four, six, eight watches, factory, so they appreciate
Crown in my hand and I’m really playin’ keep-away

OUTRO
(Might just have to go in on that)
Never fallin’, why you makin’ problems?
I’ve been silent, why you makin’ problems?
I’m a problem, bein’ rich is not my fault
You decide who you think the shit reside with
I been quiet, hard to miss me when I’m flyin’
Gone out to Caicos, she can stay in my room
She can stay in my room, and it ain’t my
I was tryna play it right
I was tryna treat you nice
Funny how I had to stop
See me when I’m outside
We ain’t have a problem
Then you went and found one
How you gonna get a bag?
She can’t help but get attached
See me when you’re outside
See me on the Southside
I could tell you’re sick inside
‘Cause she just wanna love me
She don’t wanna leave me / She just wanna love me / She don’t wanna leave me
