Drake Take Care [VINYL]

I haven't been a huge fan of Drake. Out of the songs that I had listened to on the radio, I just thought he was OK. Maybe another one hit wonder. I did like his song "Successful" from his mixtape but that was about it. I had seen some good reviews on this album though and when I saw the $5 download on Amazon, I got it. I love all the slow, easy listening songs on this album, way better than what's on the radio. I can't pinpoint what exactly about his rapping style that I like but I guess its just smooth and sleek. I also looked up the wikipedia page for the album, so many producers worked on this album and it shows. This is one of the best rap albums of the year, or at least best produced, almost, just almost like a Kanye West album. I feel like I can relate to a lot of what his songs are about. * Note: The Motto didn't come on the download, so I might just have to download it at an extra cost Best songs: - The Ride, I like how he goes in and out of first person / third person. You don't know if he's talking about himself or someone else (at first). I feel that he did this to better explain what he's going through by looking at his life from the outside - Lord Knows, Rick Ross really makes this a stand out song. It almost sounds like a Kanye song with the choir background singing. I can't get enough of this song. One of the best produced songs on the album. - Hyfr, Everyone's heard this song. Its just a good party song, when you just want have a good time. The chorus will stay in your head for an entire week Hell Yeah, Hell Yeah Hell Yeah, Effin Right...

I bought this for a friend and they loved it. I was scared at first but when they said they loved it, would really recommend it. Loved the album

Fue para un regalo!!! Tenía urgencia y llegó enseguida, super bien empaquetado!! Gracias

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Kanye West - just three high profile names on a growing list of tortured stars dealing with the high price of being famous. And so too to that list can we add Drake, a twentysomething Canadian with a perpetually broken heart - simultaneously at one and at odds with his predicament. With this in mind, Take Care - the much awaited follow up to 2010's critically acclaimed Thank Me Later [Explicit ] - could have turned out as an insincere, incoherent mess. But thankfully Aubrey Graham and his go-to producer Noah "40" Shebib were cunning enough not to waste an opportunity to out-do Drake's debut - instead creating Drake's most solid release to date. The album kicks off in style with Over My Dead Body, featuring stunning vocals from Chantal Kreviazuk - a stylistic nod to the opening track of Thank Me Later, which also featured female vocals (that time from Alicia Keys). Delicate melodies and a surprise DJ Screw sample mark the transition to the second track, Shot For Me, which sees Drake flexing those vocal chords - surprisingly more convincingly than in his debut album. Third up is a sharp changes to Headlines, obvious single material with its snappy club beat and synth-brass stabs. Just when you think you've managed to acclimatize to that, you're back to softer territory with Crew Love, which includes a welcome cameo from protegé The Weeknd. And so it continues, remarkable production after remarkable production, all mixed with Drake's trademark low-pitch rasp and inspired, self-obsessed lyrics. Covering an unending list of lost loves and failed romances, it's a fascinating insight in to the mind of someone at unease with their own mind and state of being. We delve into Drake's past in Look What You've Done, his excessive present in the exquisitely produced Lord Knows and Cameras, before The Ride ends the journey, giving a view of an undeniably promising future: 'My junior and senior will only get meaner, take care...' In short, it's a rare gem - a witty, self-aware sophomore effort in which Drake refuses to rest on his laurels - instead bringing some of his best bars yet to the table. Mix in some sublime production from Jamie xx, Noah Shebib and Just Blaze, a couple of great cameos from Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne, as well as a mesmerizing André 3000 verse and you know that it's deserving of its standing as one of the most acclaimed releases of 2011. The world waits with baited breath for Drake's next release. Spellbinding stuff.

C'est l'un des meilleurs albums de tous les temps
