Is the 6:08 version he released for download on Soundcloud the one we are reviewing or the 4:35 one on iTunes? Does it matter which one? Is there a difference?

You should do it! I like reading your opinions on things.

Just listened. I can think of something for this one.

6:08 is just the extended version with the long outro. But yeah, I also wanna know if there's some type of specification.
Drake has a way of looking very good on paper (monotone hook singing mixed with hard hitting beats and some Kanye influenced PBR&B) but oftentimes comes off as aggressively average. Unfortunately "0 to 100" doesn't do anything to sway my opinion on Drake. The beat is serviceable, and the outro gives the song a nice structure, but they lack dynamic lyrical and emotional punches that many standout R&B and Hip-Hop tracks have. Drake fails to deliver any memorable lines and the outro, while enjoyable, is something we've all heard before by Drake. If Drake continues on this path he will fail to give us that classic song that we all know he is capable of.
Yes. That kind of proves my point though. Which albums are usually the ones with the negative scores? The big high profile releases that the critics have to review for page views.
Lower profile releases almost never have a lower range of scores because only the critics with a passing interest in the artist review the album to begin with. Do you think Sia's would have a higher Metascore if more reviewers like the AV Club reviewed the album?
You may have a point, but there are albums that are not big profile releases that also has "lower" scores. Anyways I looked and noticed that many of the albums (big or not) have around 30 reviews so its not like one is lacking in reviews.

REM.COM REVIEW:
DRAKE - 0 TO 100/THE CATCH UP Written by Rem Ember
This new surprise song from Drake, released on July 15th, does absolutely nothing for me. I almost thought I was listening to the wrong song because it sounds like a bunch of his other tracks. Granted, I'm not the biggest rap and/or hip-hop fan, but I can still appreciate it as long as it's good. I was a decent fan of Drake back in the day with the great So Far Gone and amazing Thank Me Later, and then I got a little disappointed with Take Care. Now with his previous album, I didn't enjoy a single thing from it. Which brings us to now: this track is nothing new and the first part, featuring Drizzy in rap game mode, is a bore. The only thing I enjoy from it is the beat, which I bopped to a little. Once we slipped into the second part, things got significantly better as it become a lot more softer. Meanwhile, it was not enough to impress me or save the whole song. I'm trying to keep hope that I can enjoy Aubrey's music again, but this makes me feel that I might as well give up on that. Also, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and rate the shorter version, as the long outro for the 6 minute one made me want to fall asleep.
Summary: Drake's newest street single, rumored to be off the upcoming Spring 2015 release "Views from the 6".
Genre(s): Rap/Hip-Hop
Release Date: July 15, 2014
Drake's newest single, '0 To 100 / Catch Up' has me excited for yet again another Drake release. In less than half a decade Drake has graced the Urban market with 3 studio albums, a mixtape, dozens of features, and more. Nothing Drake's done has been bashed as a whole, and this once again lives up to his name. The song, starts off good. Reminiscent to 'Started from the Bottom', but yes, still good. The feel continues for the rest of the song; though the slow ending does throw one off and disinterest a little bit. After listening, I definitely think this is better than 'Believe Me' a feature of his, currently the hottest Urban song. However, I feel this lives up to all of his singles -- and not in the good way, the way they sound the same distinctively with the same random lyrics distinctively. Part of me wishes he'd changed things up; part of me wishes he keeps delivering like this. Overall, a nice quality song so it's not something to lose sleep over.
EVIL reviews
Drake's new single's lyrics are absolutely cliche and annoying. God damn it, you already release this track 4 years ago. Was this really two songs? Cause, honestly, it was a full 6 minutes of literal sleep. Not to mention he uses the offensive curse "******" over 40 times. It's cool if you use it once or twice in a song, but 40 times is just awful. It's lyrically stupid, and I'm not trolling.
"Run Forrest, run Forrest, go Forrest" . Thanks, Obama.
On the bright side, the track had a nice instrumental. Kudos to whoever produced it.
By no means is this a 'Trophies' type of Drake song,with a tantalizing hook and memorable lines and metaphors,its still serves a catchy chorus that although not as memorable as others it will still get stuck in your head.This is more Drake reminding everyone that he is the current king of Rap,and that he will be coming back for blood on spring 2015 and that there is no time to chill,because he goes from 0 to 100 real quick literally.I think the song serves its purpose in building hype for his and his closest collaborators upcoming album like Majid Jordan and PARTYNEXTDOOR and keeping Drake being played on radio for a good while till he drop his album next year,not his best but still enjoyable and bopworthy! 3 out 5
