So Far Gone (mixtape)

Untitled

So Far Gone is the third mixtape from Canadian rapper Drake. The release date was pushed back a day due to a delay in the mixing down process. Drake has also released a Chopped & Screwed version of So Far Gone that was slowed down by DJ Mr. Rogers from Houston, Texas. The Chopped & Screwed version is available for download.

Background

In an interview with Complex blog, Drake explains: "The whole tape extends from one of my closest friends Oliver. One night we were having a discussion about women and the way we were talking about them, it was so brazen and so disrespectful. He texted me right after we got off the phone and he was like, 'Are we becoming the men that our mothers divorced?' That's really where the cover comes from, too. It's just this kid in pursuit of love and money. We're good guys, I'm friends with some real good people and for him to even text me after we got off the phone it just showed we have a conscience. But sometimes you just get so far gone, you get wrapped up in this shit. The title has a lot of meanings—as the way we carry ourselves, the way we dress, the way people view us, not to sound cocky, it's just that feeling that we're just distanced in a good way. You’re just elevating past the bullshit and past all the shit that you used to be a part of and you're not that proud of, you're just so far gone."

While on the Toronto set for his forthcoming "Successful" video, he stated that he will be re-releasing So Far Gone to retail outlets on September 15 as an EP. According to Drake, the revamped project will feature most of the familiar tracks, from the Trey Songz and Lil Wayne-backed "Successful" to his hit "Best I Ever Had". But there will be a new song, "Fear", added on to the end of So Far Gone and will serve as the transition from his mixtape to Thank Me Later.
