Drake explores the topic of changing his personality after fame in "The Resistance" generating very heartfelt lines that put you in Drake’s point of view. The production is spacey and dark really adding to the atmosphere of the track. As always Drake’s hooks are complimented by the drums beautifully, they give Drake a lot of room to push his thoughts and explore himself throughout the song. He wants to indulge in his newfound fame but the more he does the more he hurts the people he loves and cares about. Drake definitely accomplishes his goal of self-exploration on this track in fascinating ways. When listening to the song, you really get consumed by it, you feel like you’re in Drake’s world creating a strong bond between Drake and the listener.

"Up All Night" is one of the greatest beats on a Drake song I have ever heard. Unfortunately, Drake’s subject matter isn't here. Let's be honest though, nobody comes to Drake for lyricism, we listen to Drake for his catchy hooks! But even in that respect I think Drake is lacking, the hook is mediocre at best. "Up All Night" is carried by the production from Boi-1da and a verse from Nicki Minaj. Nicki's verse is what you expect from her but it does have a couple funny bars. Aside from these minor inconveniences, the song would be a good song for any other artist in the 2010’s. But Drake isn't any other artist. Drake is one of the most influential artists of all time and because of that I expected more from this track.

"Light Up" is an example of Drake and Jay rapping how Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen play basketball, with everything they've got. "Light Up" is the reason I hold Drake to such a high standard. I expect him to have countless quotable bars over a hard-knocking Boom Bap beat on every song he makes on every album he makes. It would honestly be hard for me to rank the top 10 bars in this song and the fact that Drake outrapped Jay Z! I mean that never happens. Whenever Jay is on a song, it becomes his song. Most of the time rappers are playing catch up with Jay but not Drake. Drake only worries about himself and does what he does best and he definitely delivers on this instrumental. Speaking of the drums, they will literally make you jump out of your seat. The first verse on the track is Drake riding the beat and handing out bars like it is nothing to him, and then when the chorus hits!!!! The beat switches so beautifully allowing Drake to bless the listener with his soft voice. Jay obviously delivers with his verse. I mean on the first line he uses a triple-entendre! "Light Up" is the brightest point on the track probably explaining the title. I just simply love listening to it.
