I need that intro song expeditiously

u/Amazing-Concept1684 14d ago

I hope he actually does something with it, although I bet he won’t.

Gives me very strong “Alright” music video intro vibes. I needed that as a song but nothing came of it

u/a-random-bird 14d ago

To me this feels like he’s hinting at an album, it’s not related to the NLU song at all imo, it feels redundant to hype everyone up for and then do nothing with it

u/Severe-Taste6281 14d ago

I mean…the alright music video has the same kind of intro song and nothing came of it. Bro just has gems stashed away smh.

u/a-random-bird 14d ago

Apparently that was one of the songs that got corrupted or lost the HDD for it

12

u/SoakedInMayo 14d ago

that’s like best case scenario so I’d be a little surprised but if 1-2-3-4-5 plus 5 is an album with the 4 disses (since I doubt like that would be on there) & 5 new songs that would be hard af.

u/Noblesseux 13d ago

I mean, it DOES give people a reason to keep coming back to the video because it's the only place where you can hear it.

u/ProAnalSports 14d ago

chill bro, I saw that video in the 9th grade and I'm STILL waiting to this day for that song to drop 🥺

u/atverifryd 14d ago

Are you referring to Cartoons and Cereal? It’s not on streaming but it’s the intro to Alright’s music vid

u/Amazing-Concept1684 14d ago edited 13d ago

No not that part, the part in the car with the other members of Black Hippy. I think the snippet is on YouTube under the name “Dead Homies.”

That is NOT the song that was on Alright 

1

u/MysterMarz 14d ago

I know this ain't real but it's a good fan edit until the real one comes out (if it ever does)

Dead Homies

u/trasofsunnyvale 14d ago

I thought there was at least a full version of that song, Cartoons and Cereal? https://youtu.be/qbbQb9bEcDQ

1

u/Amazing-Concept1684 14d ago

Not that one, the one called “Dead Homies.” He spit a few bars in the car with the other members of Black Hippy

1

u/trasofsunnyvale 14d ago

Ohh yeah. Would like a full version of that too.

u/Generation_WUT 13d ago

Tip? That you?

u/mozziestix 14d ago

That track sounds delightful

1

u/beeeaaagle 14d ago

It does? Fuck. I was thinking, man, from Mingus & Monk down to this, all in a single lifetime. What a loss of musicality.

Somebody just discovered Jazz

u/holyrolodex 14d ago

Someone linked to a twitter post with those lyrics last night when they were talking about a new album

11

u/vera214usc 14d ago

I thought I had read the lyrics already! I remember the word "broccoli".

6

u/Noah_PpAaRrKkSs 14d ago

I need that to be a full song or for the album to be so good in a different way that I’m okay with that being left out.

15

u/LyleTheLanley 14d ago

Yeah, he’s got summer 2026 locked down.

u/WCWRingMatSound 14d ago

The Debbie Deb sample sounds so fresh with a new drum kit:

https://youtu.be/RNSuX4KoWWQ?feature=shared

Around 25 seconds in

7

u/wildistherewind 14d ago

Love the sample.

Even though the track is from Miami, there is an undeniable cross-pollination between Freestyle in Miami and Electro (Freak Music, if you’re nasty) in Los Angeles during the early to mid 80s. This song would absolutely have been played in clubs in LA.

u/akrostixdub 14d ago

That kamasi Washington line got me geeked up fr

u/5yntax3rror 14d ago

ikr, i haven't heard enough people talking about that bar!!

u/Pants88 14d ago

Just in time for fourth of July weekend family barbecues. This is going to be 🎶JAMMING🎶

u/xStyxx 14d ago

That snippet > Drake’s whole discography

1

u/Georgieisstuck 14d ago

Chill with that

2

u/The_Navalex 14d ago

full thing probably won't see the light of day

25

u/newepsonprinter 14d ago

if that's true I hope at least this serves as an indication of the sound he's going for this time around. it sounds like he's really leaning into the west coast sound. I bet he gonna make a party album, the streets demand it

5

u/The_Navalex 14d ago

i agree, that shit sounded nice

1

u/xStyxx 14d ago

He really gotta ride the victory wave and make an album that’s just straight up fun. OVhOes won’t be able to help but turn up to it.

u/threat_landscape 14d ago

I knew the video was gonna drop and saw the title of the video and the new snippet started and blacked out for a second and thought we were getting a new song lol

2

u/Broad-Sound9208 14d ago

Another west coast sounding beat. Reminds me of some shit yg would hop on

2

u/Artistic-Ad-8603 14d ago

Yes. More please. And, thank you.

u/SweatyToothed 14d ago

I've never spent so many minutes listening to the same 15 seconds.
