There are strippers and there are millions of dollars spent on “nice things” like Persian rugs. Throughout Take Care, Toronto actor-singer-rapper Drake references plenty of the accouterments that come with living as one of hip-hop’s rich and famous.
#Drake take care album slowed full
“The music is grandiose, full of big names and weighty references…Where Thank Me Later was airy and spare, Take Care truly goes for it with luxe, expansive production: On “Cameras,” beatmaking prodigy Lex Luger provides diamond-bright high-hat clicks, low-end vroom and soulful background vocals as Drake struggles to convince his girl he’s not cheating on her after she sees him in a magazine with another woman on “Lord Knows,” Just Blaze laces a shake-the-sky mix of gospel choir, gauzy R&B sample and stomping beat, and Rick Ross swoops in for a hilarious freestyle: “Villa on the water with the wonderful views/Only fat ni**a in the sauna with Jews.” There’s even a funky thank-you letter to Drake’s mom.” – Rolling Stone
But Take Care presents Drake at his best: unraveling without the care of being judged when spit-singing emotional verses over intricate, piano-heavy synths.” – Billboard Drake’s debut effort, Thank Me Later, (2010), cemented Drake as a force in the hip-hop game. So Far Gone (2009) - Drake’s mixtape turned Grammy nominated retail album - introduced us to the Degrassi actor turned rapper.
Drake brought along only close friends and family (from Noah “40” Shebib and The Weeknd, to hometown talent Divine Brown) for this ride, and bared his soul, for better or worse. The 25-year-old Toronto native took his time and care - no pun intended - to craft a project that best showcases his life behind the lens. “Drake’s sophomore studio album, Take Care, is as much for his fans as it is for him. But maybe that's just me.Īnyway, I'll spin this until HWH8 Side B drops next week.What do the music critics think of the latest offering from Young Money, which mixes Drake’s signature moody lyrics with hip-hop beats and crooning vocals: So what's up with that? How does the clear #1 guy in the game have so much talent but little ambition in his bodies of work? Feels like there's something more to this than just "he's got too many fans", like team/label shenanigans. I was going through some of my favorite Drake songs yesterday to warm up for the album, and came to realize that the majority of my favorites from him aren't even album cuts. Even Drake knows that.but he keeps making them. Everybody knows that Drake's albums have been stale for a minute. Was discussing this whole thing with a buddy of mine. Fair Trade is "the one" for me on here, 7am is another great addition to the Time And Place collection (madder than ever at Ye, still, sighs), IMY2 is hood church. In a year where Cole snapped out of his malaise and gave us something fresh, where Tyler delivered an excellent rap album full of bangers and honest emotions, CLB doesn't feel like something I'll be listening to much of in the future. Not much to add to the convo, but yeah this is Another Drake Album for sure.
