The Truth With Elliott Wilson - Drake's "No New Friends" & "Girls Love Beyonce" [Video]


If I had to choose between the two, I'm going with the ode to King Bey... I think the best thing about "No New Friends" is Drizzy's verse. Outside of that, it pales in comparison, to its comparable 2011 summertime smash, "I'm On One"
