currently obsessing over 40’s production on ‘what happened to u’.
from the way 40 flipped that sample off ‘one more chance’ to usher’s vocals which compliment the production so well…………yeah, i’m geeking out over here for unimportant reasons.
i over-praise producers too often [like ryan leslie] but crafting your own unique sound while appealing to a large audience is tough to create. in other words, drake is nothing without 40 behind the scenes.
currently on repeat:10 times and still counting.

Take Care, Drake…really.
Just read this and I’m kinda puzzled.
It’s as fine we really expected Drake’s album to be a hip-hop album…
For what Drake was aiming for, it wasn’t half bad even though I dp agree with the review on this aspect: half the shit he’s saying is a facepalm
As a whole, the flow of this album (track by track) swayed well. Thank Me Later was just a bunch of tracks together.
From his improvement, sound, musicality and etc. I can approve of Take Care.
Do I enjoy it? Not as much. I find myself wanting to skip a few songs…even when I’m high. music is always 10 times better high and shame on you if you haven’t heard music high but whatever your lose but yeah if i had a bitch this shit would be awesome high…
Anyways,
the major reason why I’m fine with this album is because I don’t mind having an album that’s ‘soft’ in my library. Yeah, I’m serious. I’ll save it for when I have some bitches at my dream apartment or when I need to cry about past bitches.
Practice is that perfect song…f’real.
I look at album ratings like rating bitches. I don’t see this album as something decent during a regular day even if it is about bitches. This album can be a 1, but it has a nice vibe around it. This album can be a 10 but what the fuck, the vibe is a force.
Again, I’m fine with this album if the lights are dim or if there’s a nice chick around. Play this album with the homies in the whip though? That’s something you would dare someone to do. So yes, rating this as if I was rating a bitch makes perfect sense.
Keep her close but keep her away from the homies.
On that note, I give Take Care:
5.5/10
I find myself enjoying his mixtapes more than his albums. He fits into that Midwest hip-hop scene IMO. Toronto isn’t that far away from Chicago no, julian that’s a stupid coincidence. He had a decent amount of dopeness on Room From Improvement, Comeback Season & So Far Gone. It’s sad to know that Drake turned from ‘smooth’ to ‘soft’ with his music but at least he could take a few steps back if he’s tired of the criticism yeah right he’s making millions. like he gives a fuck.
Should he go back to his old ways?
I’ll believe in Drizzy’s musicality. I’ll give him a pass to do whatever he wants. 40 and him are making some original shit and I’ll never turn that down.
*thinks about it*
You can say this is 808’s & Heartbreak Pt. 2.
i’m telling you when it is all set and done everybody is gonna look back at kanye’s album and say it changed hip-hop. for better or for worse? of course everyone is going to say it made hip-hop ‘soft’ and shit but boo fuckin’ hoo get used to it, that’s music for you. shit happens.
Stevie Wonder’s harmonica solo just gave me the chills.
