It isn’t often that albums live up to their hype anymore. Considering the hype surrounding Kanye’s fifth album, it is remarkable the near unanimous love My Beautiful Dark Twisted Family has received. Virtually every major publication has given the album a perfect or near perfect rating. This is the kind of response that Drake wants to receive when he creates a new album.
“Kanye put together a great album. It’s a really solid project. I think people had so much time to sit with the songs, that it threw them off a little bit when the album came out and so many of those songs were already on it,” Drake told The Source. “But at the same time, when you get that project and you can imagine getting all those songs on one day and we didn’t have to deal with the power of leaks and internet stuff. I definitely understand why people hold that album at such high regard. It’s a great project and it’s definitely given me something to strive for, because perfect scores are hard to come by nowadays and I’ve seen a lot of them on that album. That definitely lets me know what I’m gunning for on this next project.”
Drake is preparing his sophomore album, which he said will be called Take Care. The Toronto native has sought out 9th Wonder and DJ Premier for production. The LP is expected in 2011.
fuck drake, his flow is trash and his lyrics don’t make sense. Kanye does his things, but keep trying drake cause nothing you put out in your career will ever come close to the college dropout.
@antobias,you be talking crap man,Drake his the closet thing 2 Ye’s
@Gerald
are you deaf? closest to Kanye my ass, closer to waka flaka and gucci
word up..Drake is Wayne…both are idealistic and very much a box, cause they arent diverse in lyrics, delivery, concepts or anything like that..maybe you have to go through some shit in life to be a good artist or atleast appreciate music so high that arrogance cant touch which is KAnye..
this gay boy better have more spitting and less singing on that album if he wants to consider himself a part of Hip Hop
even the Jewish fags must hate this kyke.
How do you report hate/spam/idiocy on this site?
report diz dick gay boi
i hope drake does start making classics i think he’s got talent.
check out my mixtape google nova the ferncliffe stories
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Family? No editor saw this? Drake proving once again how unoriginal he is(As far as this generation of Hip-Hop).
Co-sign..
Dark Twisted Fantasy is nothing more than a compilation album to me, and if that’s what Drake gotta do to get the whorish attention he already has then he’ll get worse criticism than he’s already getting.
Drake is one silly lookin nigga
funny thing is that thank me later couldn’t have been further from a critically acclaimed album. Most reviews gave it a completely average score. An average album from an average rapper is to be expected. Its also funny that Kanye released all of the lights without the original drake verse. He knew that he couldn’t make a classic album with fake dropping truncated smilies all over the place
I do find it funny the kanye straight dropped drake from hi album
sorry flake, u neva gon make albumz like kanye west. kanye’z a master at makin real muzik and ur a master at makin gay pop muzik. find ur love? hahaha. fuck outta here nigga. and y u got a cali chain? thought u wuz from canada bitch.
kanye produced find your love you fucking idiot
he just made the beat…dont have shit to do with his lyrics..KAnye know wat good music is…its in the roots of rap..soul, reggae, R&B, and blues..drake is not American, all these things are influential African tunes, soul music, Kanye know how it was in the 80’s, 70’s, 60’s, anyone who listen to old music, are most of the time good artists cause they appreciate the music, and that makes them better, thats why Kanye is one of the greats right now
drake has the potential but he never will cause he won’t stick to rapping. we don’t want to hear u sing cause that’s not what u do well. if he decided he was going to sing on only maybe 2 cuts and just focus on lyrics the rest of the album i def think he could do it or come close
Drake is an unreal talent, i loved the album and mind you , it was his first , he had enormous amounts of pressure on him , and i bet he was rushed to release it as well. Kanye is a master, hes been in the game for like 10 years, lets see drizzy in 10 years , bet you all eat your salty ass words. We definatly feel Drake in Canada. Across the board, keep doing your thing drake.
wait…the first album is always the best…so if you aint come hard like classic hard…you aint gone making that long..Kanye, Jay, Nas, all the great artists had bad sales backing up their first album, but had highly acclaimed albums, this dude album had so many features by celebrities. in when you liquidate you album like that it should be a classic and that right there goes to show you he aint that good…all the classic albums has 3 at a minimum features…just look at every classic rap album, and they are all underground artists who is features, and one hot celebrity
An unreal talent? HAHAHAHA!! I was going to comment on this, but I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll just assume you’re 13 years old and let this one be.
I’m from East-Van. And, Drake is still a full blown kyke faggot. We never even heard his name until he was every 3rd song on the Radio. All my people all over the city have no idea whut the fcku has happened to Hip hop since we’ve heard of this fkucin goof whgo gets sucked off by Flex
Drake your time in the WWE I mean rap game is light. You had your time to show the world what you could do but instead you gave off a pop-singer style the past year. You are nothing no more than a modern day JA RULE. Only thing missing is someone to come along and diss you openly. The only reason you are around now is because of the new trend that started in 2009 where every rapper has a gimmick and last only a few months INSTEAD of a new unheard artist emerging from underground to become the next big thing. You luck, if some new guy from the underground scene come up you will be french toast. G GG G G G G G G G G GREATTTTT!
drake cant make classics like kanye because kanye is a producer and a rapper. he literally has control over all aspects of his music, and he has mastered his craft. drake sings and raps. nowhere near as talented as yeezy.
thats his damn problem trying to be like other rappers dude wack to me
off subject..watching suckerfree countdown this sunday who is this kid from up top name GODSON?? dude might bring NY some hope dude madd nice
Seriously hhdx…my beautiful dark twisted family? Do we not proofread?
why is this wack ass fool always talking about wanye so much he really start finding him self and stop taking other rappers swag..
(cough)
big sean…LOL
Is that a florida chang or a california one, cuz they do look similar.
Kill yoself
nobody here is better than kanye or drake so….
don’t compare drake to Kanye fakkit
I’m way nicer than both of those niggas, and I could find you about 20 niggas in every city who are as well. Just because you’re not better than them doesn’t mean nobody is. And don’t give me that “Well where’s your money” and “How come you’re not where they are then?”, because we all know the shit ain’t got nothin’ to do with skills anymore. If you’re a fan of these niggas, that’s cool, but don’t act as if they got some supernatural skill that can’t be touched. These niggas are mediocre. You put a media monster behind ANYONE and they’ll blow up. Ask William Hung.
HAH! its always good for a laugh when this propless wonder makes statements like that thinking he cool when he’s just shaming himself. The quality of kanye albums is hot garbage so i doubt you’d have to try to hard drake.
Quincy Jones shoulda rid kanye harder n to hell with whether it hurt his feelings or not; Musically kanye west is less-skilled than an amateur and drake doubly so.
Someone who pays attention to the background of music and not what the masses boast and brag. Salute.
STFU….College Dropout was a banging album, Graduation banging album, and his last album was good…all has songs, had meaning, well most..Drake is a copycat of wayne, and dont talk about shit, but his ugly ass in Canada life, that is corny anyway..Drake will soon fade in like atleast a year…no dat…Wayne, did so will him and Minaj cause dey dont pose longevity, cause they look like they will stick to their same style and scheme of rhyming..

Anonymous
Go suck and anonymous DICK BITCH ASS DIKE
Drake is Hip-Hop,you niggas stuck in that old school state of mind that every nigga has to sound like Jay-Z,Nas,Rakimm,Biggie,Pac,Snoop Dogg
GET THE FUCK OVER IT THIS IS NOT THE 90’S NO MORE
Drake is the epitome of Fresh new energy,hes not a carbon-copy,hes original in his flow,he raps better than his Mentor,and who said Wayne was his mentor,Drake holds guys like Jay-Z,and Nas to a higher standard,Drake even said he really values his conversation with Jay-Z,so SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU HATING ASS BITCH ASS DICK SUCKING HOMO
if dat nigga is fresh…dat nigga a baby…weezy….lol…Drake aint HIPHOP…i bet you he dont even know alot about hiphop except wat his visual of it is right now……He dont have to be like them for him to rap good or rap something potent that does not involve singing on the same song and even going to the strip club fuckin hoes, but act all sensitive on songs, like he is genuine ass nigga…hes a fuckin epitome of what his friends want him to be, not what he wants to be…a fuckin follower drake is…so if he gone follow somebody, follow someone worth listenin to, cause young money is a movement of movement of niggaz goin in the same direction literally….
well ur from Canada, that is neva going to happend…i mean come on..if you rap like a copycat of a rapper that maybe only had one classic album or dont have conceptual albums or songs, then that is not eva eva eva goin to happend, get a new mentor, Kanye has Jay, get Nas..hope is bitch ass see this den he could stop doin that lame as Wayne shit, you soft mothafucker.Icecream..STFU
thi fuckin jew needs to sit down. he dosn’t have the TALENT to make a quality album like Kanye’s. just do whatever the fuck you do for the next year and pray your fanbase is still here drake.
dude is talking big. he needs to stfu.
um your a bitch
This Jew is a great talent,and a far superior lyricist than Kanye West.
Thank Me Later is better than College Dropout & My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Thank Me Later is better than all of kanye’s albums
only a fakkit ass ignorant dickhead would say something like TML is better then great hip hop albums like College Dropout MBDT. Kanye can actually freestyle alot better then your privileged jew kid drake who reads off a backberry. Kanye has diverse content, social topics he always talks about thats real. drake punclines are corny and forced. its like…and then a pause. it make me cringe. hes album was shallow too. so you stick with the fake shit and i’ll stay with the real.
hahaha… Cyanide that faggot
Hip-Hop has become a such dick-sucking contest. “I wish I was like you!”, “Nah man, you’re the greatest, I wish I was like you!”….get off each others DICK! This is all I hear now. And I don’t wanna hear any of you young punks tellin’ me I’m a ‘hater’, which is the only response any of you ever have. Look, it’s cool to give someone credit where it’s due. But send the nigga a card, give him a phone call, give him dap when you see him. These niggas are all over the media slobbing each other all the time. What happened to the healthy competition? What happened to niggas wanting to have their OWN sound and their OWN style? All talent aside, Hip-Hop has turned into a bunch of sucker ass niggas looking to follow the next dude’s lead, and NONE of ’em are trying to be a leader or even their own Man. Rap used to be cool. Now it’s for nerds and metrosexuals who carry dogs under their arm and talk about clothes and cars like a bunch of fuckin’ rich housewives. These niggas are fagesque.
This is the greatest thing I’ve read on this site in a long time. This is why I don’t like Drake. He treats this rap sh*t like a game, like a kid rapping in the mirror to his favorite song, and his goal is to admire and mimmick other ni99as. Ni99a, come with your own sh*t. Stop trying to be like Kanye and Wayne. Either get your own style or get back to acting.
its a shame that a genre that once prided itself on originality, leadership, and good vibes, has turned into a high class club with a bunch of metrosexual dudes with bullshit dramas. So it took Kanye to make a good album, which i wouldnt say best of 2010, for you to say…. “ohhh i wanna work hard now and dedicate my effort to making a solid album”…. GTFO!!!! isnt that supposed to be your main goal?? dont you want to build a legacy starting with your first album just like Nas and Jay z did. Classics from the start? Or were you looking for the money?? sad how music has become a business. I saw a nikki minaj show on mtv where she says shes an actress at heart and maybe right now shes just playing the role of a rapper until she makes it. Please do us all a favor and leave.

The straight up truth. Everytime you turn around you hear a rapper slobbing another down calling him the greatest. Its so bad that rappers Kanye and Ross are even calling Nicki Minaj one of the greatest and I damn near vomited when I heard that shit. The hiphop dick riding has definetly gotten out of hand. Good post.
Kanye definately makes perfect or near perfect albums. You can tell that each track was strategically placed together. All we hear is the final project who knows how many takes or re-do’s, hours, days, months, it took until kanye was like ‘ok, that sounds good’. I agree with Drake, why shouldnt you strive for a perfect album, if that means artist are going to put more than just words and club bangers on album Im down..Kanye thank you once again for setting the bar and getting rid of the weaklings.
PS check out the website. GOOD MUSIC outta SF, CALIFORNIA
everyone knows Jews are full-blown faggots. But, this kyke makes them look bad.
FUCK DRAKE BITCH
Man Drake sucks… this moron made a song with nerds like Phonte and Elzhi. The only real rappers are Lil Wayne, The Game, Vinnie Paz (only good underground rapper), Shawty Lo, Fabo of d$l, Shawty Mane (Justin Bieber alter ego), Waka Flocka Flame, OJ Da Juiceman and of course… GUCCI!
It’s Gucci Time.
i’m starting to think this guy’s comments are meant to be read as satire
haha!
you are a fucking retard, the fact that you named gucci as one of the only good rappers and called elzhi a nerd proves that you think gettin money makes someone an mc. you are the reason hiphop is in this state.
you should be put down.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Family? C’mon DX!! lol
good catch..lol..i cant stop laughin at that shit..we gotta do better people
i’m just mad cuz i got dropper from AOTL…
i hate looking at this dudes face he looks like a fucking orca whale with a a shape up.. he needs to tone down on those GUY-BROWS and start rocking a mask
then why did you click on the story? Talk about a SORRY life, SMH!
If you wanna make real music like Kanye then you’d betta drop young money and make it on your own because at the moment your music is inbetween classic and gargabe. You’ve got a very unique voice and style yet you ruin it by putting your lyrics on just about anything and to be honest it takes that sparkle about you away. You are in a different league from lil wayne and if i were you i wouldn’t associate with him for the fact that he brings you down, not that i’m dis-respecting lil wayne he got the lyrics for sure but there aint no depth to him,no soul in anything he says.
WELL SAID !!
Yawn. I’m gonna go ahead and make the bold prediction that Drake never makes a classic album.
you really cant get a perfect rating on an album if its filled with dumb ass punchlines…nickelus f should have the spotlight, drake forgot how to spit
Nickelus F. is the man!!!!!!!!
gudda gudda is the best rapper alive
my name is anonymous, i am gay, souless, and retarded hear me roar
In Drake voice:
Imma make classic albums while you ridin
with vicious rhymes and punchlines Tyson.
shit lyrics like Drake’s and lame ass punchlines will never give you a classic album. While he’s at it drop the YM crew they suck. Other than Wayne, none of them are worth a shit.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
