Drake / Future: "Diamonds Dancing"
Did Drake and Future really make What a Time to Be Alive in six days? That’s the same amount of time it took God to create the Earth. And Drake and Future have earned their seventh day of rest for “Diamonds Dancing”. Future goes high soprano, the saxophone comes in cool, and the hook is simply “diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds on me dancing”—an extremely fun alliteration, especially when said over crushingly low drums. The five-minute track ends with a stereotypical Drake lamentation over ambient noise that will not convert anyone who thinks he is a melancholy cornball. But if you love that shit, well, it is perfect. Could “Diamonds Dancing” be shorter? Yes. Could the chorus be longer? Yes. But God fucked up some Earth shit, too. Who needs pollution and murderers? But sometimes you accept the worst and turn your face to the best in order to live. What a time to be alive, indeed!
