What did the original version sound like? I just got put onto this track in the last week.

How is this a true statement if you got Dru Hill in your avatar (meaning you most likely not 14 :heh: )?

1. "Shut it Down" wasn't a single. I've never sat down & listened to the entire "Thank Me Later" album, so I've only previously heard the radio singles.

2. Back in 2010, I think I might've tuned out current music at the time & was mostly listening to old shyt.


I only recently got put onto "Shut it Down" becuz I've been a Drake music binge the last few months and I noticed:

A. That "Shut It Down" charted on the Billboard Hot R&B & Hip-Hop Songs chart for 10 weeks despite the fact it wasn't a single & that the "Thank Me Later" album era was years before the streaming era.

B. "Shut It Down" was a TikTok trend song a couple years ago. Just do a youtube search for something like "drake shut it down tiktok" to see for yourself. Those TikTok compilation videos is what got me hooked to the song.

3. The video in the OP of this thread kept showing up in my YouTube recommendations.

You talking about with the deep pitch? Or am I thinking about Marvin’s Room?
It sounds like the ones on stream have been updated with the original leak, But Drake has both on his youtube page now. Tried to find the original hiphopdx/rapradar leaks to make sure but they gone now.

I think the interlude might have been chopped off at first

I think the 6:58 one is the original one but I can’t put my finger on the difference now

Original one that leaked is WAY better than album version as others said. Still listen to that one

I found some YouTube links of the song that were uploaded a few months before the "Thank Me Later" album were released. Are these the original leaked version?:
