Thank Me Later ...5 years later.

[BDBIID]

First off I fuck with Drake. I decided to go back and listen to it front to back earlier being that it was the anniversary. Only song that still was in my rotation prior to today was Light Up. This was already my least favorite Drake album but I said since I haven't let it ride front to back in years let me do it today...

This is easily Drake's worst project to date Mixtapes and Albums imo. It sounds dated as fuck and soft as hell. Different than Take Care (which some call soft), which I feel is just more smooth rather than moist, soft, etc. Take Care was in a nice pocket. TML not so much for me. TML did have a nostalgic effect bringing me back to a dope summer but other than that majority of these songs are meh standing on it's own years later. Even songs I fucked with at the time have gotten worse going back. Light Up is still dope, Miss Me and Unforgettable was cool but outside that...

I remember in the If You're...It's to Late and/or NWTS threads people were calling each his worst pieces of work. I disagree & don't think it's close tbh. Both were exponentially better pieces of work. In fact IYRTITL gets better with time I bump it more now then when it first dropped.

I just realized i confuse this album and Take Care bc of the same kind n gentleman titles Lmao damn i haven't heard this album in a minute

I remember Karaoke and resistance was my SHIY

If the spotlight makes u nervouuuuus

In hindsight a couple instant skippable songs but damn, lot of good shit on their

 

[FishNChips]

modern classic. I got major pussy with this album

 

[natural born sinners]

Album was good, it just didn't match the hype. Karoeke, shut it down, fancy n show me a good time seemed forced n not needed to me. The rest was actually fire. Fancy got so much play on radio it got even more annoying. "Miss me" "unforgettable" n that joint w nicky were flames n "the resistance" was classic drake. Basically "the calm" part 2

 

[Dave2one6]

im 39 and i think its a classic. i was proud of him.

 

[RickyRich]

i thought it was dope album but he did improve alot since then .I think his next album he will go back to his roots and just strictly rap

 

[genocidecutter]

Still garbage

 

[iron man1]

The only Drake album I copped and will listen to.

Agreed those 4 songs weren't needed.

 

[The Recipe]

Agreed album was meh. When Take Care dropped I understood that Thank Me Later meant thank me later for the dope album that was Take Care..

GENERIC/COOKIE CUTTER SHIT

 

[DOPEdweebz]

My least favorite Drake effort, but he had some bangers to solid shit on here. It can't compete with "So Far Gone" and definitely nit with "Take Care".

 

[The Recipe]

Id still listen to Shut It Down on a playlist.

 

[sapp08_2001]

The only Drake album I fuck with

 

[blackrain]

I still fuck with the songs on this. It was a good album that I can listen to again and not be bored. "Unforgettable" is the only song I still listen to on a regular basis off the album though

 

[Shawn Jay-Z Carter]

My verse on Light Up shits on the whole rest of that soft ass album. Your boy Hov came through and crushed the buildings

The summer's ours, the winter too

Top down in the winter, that's what winners do

And to these niggas I'm like Windows 7

You let them tell it, they swear that they invented you

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

I think I may have been the first Drake hater in history. I been calling that nigga soft and lame since Jimmy let that cracka permanently sit him down in Degrassi

I used to be heavily biased against dude but he has slowly but surely turned me into a fan over the years.

Songs I hated back then now sound like masterpieces to me today, including a lot of this album

 

[dwade206]

Average

[tompetrez3]

Classic album that changed hip hop forever
