The Official Drake "Take Care" Album Discussion Thread (11.15.2011)

People of my kingdom, I will get to all of your problems in due time. Just let the king work some things out first

I saw your post about it in the Ambition thread I think You and KK had the same the same gripe. Between yall two, Miles , usmarine and I we're probably all of the longtime Wale fans on the forum I noticed so it says a lot.

Co-sign everything you said about WT T, you said it better than I did. I thought it was a good album when I heard it, but I never seem to want to hear it again.

I'm a longtime Le' fan also bro.

Im still trippin that Drake had to get Juve's permission to use that sample in practice tho, thats crazy.

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

why wouldnt he have to?

 

[Kame]

don't you always have to get permission?

 

[siqnih da rapper]

mannnnnnnn this album right here deserve to sell a mili first week, i mean i not all about saling big in the first week, but drake got to do it im rooting for my dude

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

 

[daboyag1]

Not from Juve tho, Seeing as how fucked up baby was, I would think cash money had all the rights

i want to like this jew's music but its just terrible

Me too bruh. Went into the joint thinking he heard from everybody that the last one was too RnB. I be damn if this shit didn't put me to sleep again lol. I mean he got some nice joints on here and some nice production but his redundant flow and singing is annoying as fuck. Yawwwwn

Ok im a mostly unbiased Drake fan here...and im bout halfway thru....and my verdict so far....

Solid. On par with TML. The SOund is a bit darker and more down tempo than TML AND USES more distortion effects, but songs like Take Care and Make me Proud sound even more pop than anything on TML if you can imagine. From a style POV, Drake hasn't really changed it up at all, and really thats not a bad thing since the songs are delivering. In all honesty, i think if anything will drag this album down, it will be the collabos. However, Kendrick Lamar has so far had the best verse on the album on the buried alive interlude.

Underground King is nasty so far.

I do like it too, the album is same as entertaining as the others...

*Havent read any other reviews, this is unbiased*

After 3 listens..this shyt is subpar.

After the first 5 songs, i m like YES! This shyt is different...soulful, heart felt...more like So Far Gone

THEN

Most of the rest of the album sounds like 1 big song!

No memorable hooks...no diversity in production...shyt makes me drowsy.

I could not tell you the differenc between:

Real Her

Good Ones Go

Cameras

Practice

We'll Be Fine

Underground Kings

Song's I'll extract and listen to on the Ipod:

Over my Dead Body

Headlines

Crew Love

take Care

Lord Knows

HYFR

Look What You've Done

The Ride

The rest i wont hear again for a minute...

 

[S2J]

Watch The Throne is a 6/7 outta 10 bruh, and Ion give a fuck what song you pull up to say otherwise...I never felt compelled to ride to that shit, or listen to it over and over...And none of the singles even compare to "Headlines" and that's one of the weakest songs on Take Care.

Naw, Drake started singin before 808's came out..."Brand New" and "Still Fly" were some of the earliest songs he dropped for the public, but he had been tryna sing, just people told him he sucked so he kept workin on it...He was hangin round Trey Songz and writin with R&B singers before Kanye got emo in '08...

Ngga you 'ridin' to Take Care? What in THE fuk?

And Drake has stated various times his favorite raper is PHONTE. HYe is influenced, from a singing standpoint, by Phonte...who did Foreign Exchange in like 04...

 

[rip.dilla]

'Lord Knows' is better than EVERY track on Watch The Throne

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

wtf is this sissy shit

 

[thefabmd2dc]

Underground Kings,Lord Knows,look what you've done, HYFR, Crew Love>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything on WTT
