    2 of the best songs on IYRTITL, which track had the better switch up/outro?

    Starts at 3:06

    Envelopes comin' in the mail, let her open 'em
    Hopin' for a check again, ain't no tellin'

    Yeah, she invite me to the telly, keep the blade with me
    When I go to check a b----, ain't no tellin'

    Yeah, police comin' 'round lookin' for some help
    On a case they gotta solve, we never help 'em

    Yeah, I stay up late at night, thinkin' 'bout my life
    Want a lot, will I get it all? Ain't no tellin'
    Ain't no tellin', yeah, ain't no tellin'
    Yeah, no tellin', ain't no tellin'


    I gotta keep watchin' for oppers cause anything's possible, yeah
    There's no code of ethics out here, anyone will take shots at you, yeah
    n----s think they can come take what I got, let's be logical, yeah
    V-Live, I order that Alfredo pasta then eat in the kitchen like i'm in the mafia
    Houston, they get me though

    European, my vehicle
    How much it hit me fo'?
    Ain't no tellin', yeah

    What am I willin' to give her to get what I want tonight?
    Ain't no tellin'

    Please do not speak to me like I'm that Drake from four years ago
    I'm at a higher place

    Thinkin' they lions and tigers and bears, I go huntin'
    Put heads on my fire place, oh my
    Take time, ain't no tellin'
    Oh my, ain't no tellin'


    Starts at 3:11

    Blowin' up, line blowin' up, they need the whole thing
    Blowin' up, my n----s really need the whole thing


    I do better with the rider in my system
    Oh yeah, I'm on deck, when you call me I'll listen
    I listen unless I been mixin', you know when I'm mixin'
    You know when I'm mixin', I smoke when I drink, it's tradition

    Like Zoe mama I go hippy
    Peace sign in the air like I'm Nixon

    I'm mixin', I am not Esco, but it was written
    I knew when they didn't, I been had these visions
    Of the life I'm livin' since I was Jimmy
    All I had to do was just go and get it, and now we..

    I feel like the switch up in No Tellin is so memorable. Always comes to mind when I'm thinking about playing IYRTITL

    Same here. I like how he kinda foreshadowed all the BS he went through with Meek in the summer. It's like he knew something was coming. I've always loved that "please do not speak to me like I'm that Drake from 4 years ago I'm at a higher place" line.

    I love the switch up on No Tellin but I feel like the switch in Star 67 is a better transition from the first part of the song, both songs were two of my favorites off the tape though.

    I was literally listening to No Tellin a few hours ago and admiring that line. Honestly feel like that line represents the whole album/mixtape, IYRTITL is just something I would have never expected from Drake. It really shows how Drake is evolving as a artist

    Exactly. The boy has come a long way.
    I agree, but I think it's close. The beat switch/2nd verse on Star67 is fantastic.

    Not at all I've done it plenty of times. Been doing it a lot with 0-100 recently tbh. The Catch Up is underrated af.

    Just realized this is the sample he used, if you listen carefully you can hear "No Talk" in the background of No Tellin's beat switch holy s--- :weebey:

    Boi-1da nice af with it

    2:09-4:54 is a contender for best moment on the tape.
