Drake has dominated the Hip Hop conversation for the last year. The Toronto-born emcee who acknowledges both Lil Wayne and Slum Village as leading influences polarizes fans with every verse, every interview and every punchline. Since Drake released his So Far Gone 
mixtape early last year (before scanning over 400,000 units to date in retail), he’s been the talk of the times. Delivering an official debut in Thank Me Later , a confident (if not cocky) title that asserts Drake’s awareness that he’s changing the game. Poised to follow up his acclaimed tape and create a first round classic like his heroes Nas and Jay-Z did before him, he unfortunately falls short on both counts.
That’s not to say the album doesn’t have positive qualities, but even those highlights can be dimmed. His earnest bars deserve some applause, especially when he shares tidbits about his family (“I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home / And I be actin’ like I don’t know how to work a phone / But hit redial, you’ll see that I just called / Some chick I met at the mall that I barely know at all”). All of this comes before talking about abortion and infidelity. While honesty is refreshing, Drake still shifts to being cold and impersonal, when even the always-reserved Jay-Z was capable of “Regrets” on his own debut. Unlike other artists that share dire struggles for a personal connection with a listener, many of Drake gripes don’t seem to resonate as strongly as, say, Eminem discussing Munchausen Syndrome or Notorious B.I.G.’s passionate outcry that his stress comes from his mother’s breast cancer. It might seem unfair to judge a new comer against all-time greats. Then again, when an artist crowns himself the “greatest ever” to start the conversation, it’s difficult not to hold his work accountable to higher standards. In that respect, this album disappoints with no outstanding technical skills or word wizardry, unless one counts those pesky punchlines as ill (“I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone”).
Drake does succeed in pulling out all the stops, and making his proper debut feel as big as any we’ve seen since The College Dropout. Top tier guests like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I., and Alicia Keys are on-hand to cosign Drake’s arrival, all of whom experiment with the song-making and style that the host has brought to Rap in the last year. Fans may also be excited by the production from big name producers Kanye West (“Show Me a Good Time” and “Find Your Love” ), Boi-1da (“Up All Night” , “Over” and “Miss Me” ), Swizz Beatz (“Fancy” ) and Timbaland (“Thank Me Now”). But the album also loses its luster with some of the slower-paced material and big names don’t always translate to worthwhile collaborations, such as the Jeezy-assisted, “Unforgettable” and the aforementioned “Fancy.”
On “Light Up” Drake could be referring to Thank Me Later when he declares he “wrote it for your girlfriends.” As the artist admits, this album was made with a specific purpose, and one Drake shares with many of Rap’s platinum stars of today: commerce before art. However, the album will keep some of his So Far Gone fan base pleased with the brief revelations and the cosigns. Others may fault the young star, perhaps due to lyrical struggles, vocal troubles or a lack of cohesion and concept. Like a heavily co-signed star from the top of the decade, 50 Cent, Drake proves that he can give you two sides of himself and his art: the mixtape and the album, and as Black Sheep say, the choice is yours.
Drake showed so much promise and dropped this lukewarm release. Not a bad album for a mainstream artist. Its very listenable because the lyrics are very simple. Not bad, just not the bombshell mainstream fans were expecting. I go the leak and he drops a nice line here or there. Just a batch of songs, not a cohesive album really. J COLE FTW. J Cole is TOO nice not to drop a classic!
This review is plain hating, sure it ain’t the classic debut many expected but the only wack tunes are miss me, over and find your love
everything is dope
fireworks, the resistance, karoke, up all night, shut it down, unforgettable and light up are all seriously dope
every1 wants him to fail cos hes with young money but the album has a sick vibe
Saying someone is hating is an ‘argument’ for someone who cant provide a cohesive argument. So you dont agree with the reviewer, so what? It isnt hate though….I hope that stupid word dissapears from our vocab, it’s such a copout.
@JASONCTOWN–
I see that you read the editorial on this site about HATE, last year.
hiphopdx dont know real hip hop if it slaped them in the face Andres Vasquez i will never forgive you
This shit aint real hip-hop, Drake said so himself. It’s borderline, if that….
i got it the other day and there are some highlights but not enough really. his wordplay is not tat interesting on this one like so far gone. oh well, we will have to wait and see what jay electronica and j. cole do!
Yeah
This is why actors shouldn’t rap.
this album is boring as fuck. guy made the same 2 songs over and over. gtfoh.
At least DX has the balls to say it.
I await XXL’s XL rating.
This album has 3 good songs, the worst video collection ever, and way too many guests. T.I., really? Jeezy?
I agree that J. Cole and Kid Cudi are our only hope, as Wale, Drake and B.o.B. all sold out with their label checks.
This is the biggest rap disappointment in years. Leaks just make it so none of us are angry we lost money.
Brutal review. Your hate for Drake is biasing your entire editorial. I wouldn’t have had a problem if you had criticized the record for having to much R&B on it or if you had mentioned how Drake is always outshined by his guest features but you barely touched on any of the actual music and wrote a review of Drake as a person. You spent half the review talking about other artists and their debuts. Go on SOHH and write an angry blog. I used to trust HipHopDX for their honest views but this is pure bullshit.

Drake sucks. This album proves why. He has a few ok songs, but to call yourself the greatest ever, you better back it up. Sorry Drake, you did not back it up.
for me it`s a 3.5 but imma give it a 4 here
I think the yeezy track is fire, but maybe thats just me, appreciated the honesty delivered by drake, but tracks like fanzy—show me a good time—shut it down–karoake are just skippers or too R&B for an hiphop artist. Or is he too hiphop for a R&B artist?
Peace
Come on this is a classic.The only other rapper that can make an album of this caliber (except for different reasons) is Eminem and lil Wayne.
This album is nearly flawless. Lyrically he’s clever and on point and the way he constantly switches over from rapping to singing is genius.
The production is revolutionary and it perfectly captures what the mainstream wants. Its not obnoxious nor is it boring like those “real rappers”. Overall just like the Carter 3 and Relapse this album lived up to the hype and will stand the test of time.
wow your don’t have a clue aout the hip hop game. shut the fuk up for your own sake.
Nah Mylie you STFU cuz dude is right.
i didnt hear one damn snippets i like not one. beats not good not at all to me i mosdef want be buying this shit
i fucks with cashmoney but not this
C4
P.S chill with that classic shit this album is no where near a classic
Let’s face it, it’s an album meant for the summer and on top of that, for the women (mostly), is it that hard to tell? It by no means is a classic or a hard hitting rap album, but it’s not supposed to be.
Yes, it’s disappointing and there are a couple of misfires, but how anyone could say it’s not cohesive is beyond me. The whole thing works as a piece when you consider the fact that it’s supposed to be played in the background for, say, the fourth of july or any summer night out. This is the last album you could play during winter, but for now, it works.
Trust me, I’m not a huge fan of new Drake. His flow has become monotonous and his wordplay isn’t as clever as he gets credit for, but this album does what it’s supposed to do. He “made it for your girlfriend”, after all.
really? the Jeezy song is lackluster? probably one of the best songs of the year. overall the album ain’t too great, its not as epic as Man On The Moon, but more interesting than The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. last name ok, first name just. sorry drizzy.
i still say he gone do 500k first week just his buzz
That being said, young money is wack as fuck, lil wayne couldn’t make a good album post C2, let ALONE a “classic” and the production here is nowhere near revolutionary, ambient/downtempo/trip hop has been around since before you were born.
Don’t compare to the greatest – only to contemporaries. Or, even to the highest standards of HipHop. In that case this album does well with girls as the target audience. It’s not the party album that people may want to listen to or the production that people want to hear while driving – but it’s a good listen – for what it is as opposed to what people want it to be.
It will sell because of hype, alone. But how it is received by the average suburban consumer will determine his sales for his next album.
4 stars for this album put out in an era of HipHop with low standards.
All the hype of hip hop worldwide and $2,000,000 advance “Later”. This album does not make the grade for me. When your strongest point is rapping “Most of your album should be rapping, not R&B Singing”. For Thank me Later to have all the star power that is has there is nothing really memorable and a lot that is “Forgettable:”
I have been waiting a while to see what the rating was going to be on this album by Hiphopdx. I will be the first to agree this ensemble of tracks is not a “classic” or lives up to hype drake has carried himself which was contributed to his mixtape So Far Gone, his allegiance with Lil Wayne and Young Money and his commerical viability with the singles he has made or been featured on. But with all that being said this album is still better than 90% percent of what is coming out for the masses for the masses of hip hop fans to consume. Drake has his own lane. And he is only 23 years old. So do I think some of his peers have influenced him in his camp? Yes but that subliminal. Look at the “Roc” back in its heyday all those guys sounded the same with their candence and flow INCLUDING Jay-Z(and he is my favorite rapper of all time) so I aint hating call it like i see it. But this is natural because when you are in the studio with all your friends that is something that naturally happens u just start to mimic a little bit off everyone. But back to the album great melodies on all the R n B tracks. Drake harmonizes well not a singer but can compose a great R and B song. His flow is above average not like So Far Gone and other mixtape stuff he has but still top tier quality. And I know a lot of people think he “cheated” to get his self talked about in hip hop most elite. But how is that his fault? Regardless of who you are the quality of music has to be good. Or people wont listen radios wont spin it and it wont even get bootlegged. Let the public decide and I KNOW it will better than this jaded opinion.
I got the leak and the CD is trash every song is the same him singing on every hook thats why i stop feeing chamillionaire I mean he can spit but he talks about nothing really theres no connection with him and the listener the cd might sell but as far as real fans they will be very disappointed
disappointin’…it’s like the record was stuck on rewind ‘n I keep hearin’ the same sh8 ova ‘n ova….
Not a classic. Didn’t expect it to be. Too much features. Would’ve preferred if drake carried the album his self like hov, nas, and em did on their debut classics. Production waaaay underpar. Find your love, up all night, and over are the only excellent beats. Not a wack album but its not even close to being better than so far gone. The songs have to grow on you after several listens. Not copping when it comes out, the leak will do just fine.
Okay, given “Fancy” is lightweight bad (with the exception of the 2nd half which made up for that horrible Swizzy chorus), everything is on this album is 10/10. Andres said that Drake is cold and impersonal???? Son, he talks about his relationship with Rihanna on “Fireworks”, he talks about the Toronto stick-up incident on “The Resistance”, he talks about nearly every relationship he’s had these past two years and losing a girl he wanted to marry to the fame… how is he impersonal?!?!?!?!?! Clearly, you’ve made your mind before you wrote this interview because of some personal feelings you have about Drake as a whole. Not because of the album. Because this album is GREAT.
Sidebar: For any artists, producers, singers, etc. that DON’T buy this album the first week… WE ALL ARE NEVER GONNA GET A RECORD DEAL. David Banner even said so. He’s the one shot we got left for the new generation of this genre (commercially, not artistically) and if HE doesn’t succeed, WE don’t succeed. SO BUY THE FUCKING ALBUM EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE DRAKE. It’s $10, not $10,000. Stfu crying about “I don’t have money”… bitch, you probably spend $20 at McDonald’s aka food that’ll make you obese, and you can’t spend $10 on great entertainment. Gtfoh.
CO-SIGN!
nigga shut the fuck up. Go buy the Distant Relatives album and listen to timelesss music.
Otherside, trying to act like he knows something about music by throwing Distant Relatives out there. I doubt you even listen to that album more than three times. And I seriously doubt you even can comprehend the message of that album otherwise you wouldn’t have made such an ignorant post.
i play Distant Relatives from start to finish everyday since i got it. i know very well what Nas and Damian are talking about on each song. the wars, the greed for gold, diamonds etc. mostly everthing that is negative and negative not just about Africa but the world in general Theres also uplifting songs about things you take for granted. So i know DAMN well what i bought with my money and im enjoying it very much. buy the album man.
But Thank Me Later dosn’t say anything to me. its very forgetable. thats all im saying.
@OTHERSIDE: right on brother. after hearing drake say “nicki minaj is the best female rapper ever…” I just lost respect for this guy. You mean to tell me shes better than LYTE, JEAN GRAE, LAURYN, RAGE, ETC.. and Especially Lil Kim. These young niggas either dont know the history or just disregard it.
Go cop that distant relatives for the best hiphop/reggae alb of the year, not drizzy
Hot Garbage enough Said
A single and on an erroneous throw the batter advances to second. This is not the homerun that everybody expected. Shit is so monotonous and overall garbage. i’m shaking my head at all the YM/CM stans. How is that Kool-Aid tasting? He really sounds as if he put together all of his guest appearance verses and made them into song form. His hits are hits, but there are too many swing and a miss. Not even with raps Derek Jeter up to bat can get this kid to score a run. Just a friendly game of baseball.

Ringleader, set it off, rap Derek Jeter!
Just Wack!Overhyped!Mix tape is better.This is just hot garbage.He basically made 808s and heartbeaks revisited!Sorry Drake or Aubry whatever your name is but,you failed!
absolutely wack! drake who? the recovery will overshadow this album big time.
fuck u haters and hiphop dx, u dont know what ur taalkin bout
Drake didn’t live up to the hype. the album is boring, corny, raps about the same thing on every song fame, success, my girl is living me now all these new girls want me becuz i famous. he dosn’t even have a storytelling song on here. he dosn’t shine on any song Jay-Z had the best verse on the album. on the song ”Fancy” T.I. showed Drake how you talk to a woman. i mean the album is lacking everything to make a great debut.
Drakes not a superstar hes has no stage presence either just trying hes hardest to sing a note live with the autotune.
Drake – Thank Me Later = 2.5/5
Download the this album because it ain’t worth your hard earned money.
With the way the climate of the industry now (and has been for the past 10 years), it’s easy to say this is a great LP… especially since there are very few original and true hip-hop lyrically-enabled acts to compare him to. This is why he’s held up in comparision to the greats before him. And because of that, Drame (thinking lame)… excuse me… DRAKE, falls very short of anything near greatness. Just an average “rapper” with no Emcee in him. Plus anything made to target bitches ain’t ever a good LP to begin with. But when you have a Nickelodeon actor turned rapper that has absolutely NO street credentials with a silver spoon in his fuckin’ mouth, well, what else could you expect. His sales number would be from teeny bopper little girls and a white suburban fan base. Niggas, especially from the hood, should NOT co-sign this nigga at all.
hes reminds me of one of the backstreet boys
Co-sign. All rap sales are from a white/suburban fan base though. Suburban kids listen to “real” hip hop too. Why do you think it’s all white people at underground rap concerts?
Because they think their getting something raw no matter how wack a lot of underground cats really are. AND they are usually late on what’s hot.
who gives a **** whats hot? why should we care whats “hot” or in other words “catchy and marketable?” we always got that hot ish EVERYDAY in the underground. Our songs are timeless and dont get old like that radio “hot hits.” Hot mess and hot garbage is the apt description for most of that stuff, not all, but most.
Major disappointment for fans. I was never a Drake fan but I decided to listen to the entire album because of the hype that both the artist and album were receiving. After listening to it I am even less of a fan; I am unimpressed with Drake’s talent. Some tracks start to show promise when Drake gets personal, but most of the tracks fail and end up being a broken promise. He really needs to get off the R&B thing and just start ripping bars.
Overall: 2.5 but I rounded up for the dickriders.
Not a fan of Drake? Or not a fan of good music? Why do you need hype to check out something, the dude has been around for over a year now.
@thankmelaterisgood I’m obviously a fan of good music considering this album got a 50% rating from both the site and fan community. I never checked Drake out because I was never impressed with him and thought he was nothing special; it turns out that I was right.
Seriously DX you thought BP3 was a bad album too why in the hell would I even consider you a credible source for reviewing hip-hop music.
Thank Me Later is a fantastic album that is a perfect BLEND of R&B and Hip-hop.
It’s not perfect just like Recovery is not perfect.
Fake hip-hop fans are ALWAYS late.
Ummm?
https://hiphopdx.com/index/reviews/id.1255/title.jay-z-the-blueprint-3
Its 3.5.. Cmon I didnt really like it but 2.5 .. With all these super whack Niggas out here.. Still this shit is too soft.. I think an Artist can make songs ladys like without turning Off Dudes..
When R Kelly was the man.. You cant tell me dudes wasnt bumpin his shit and not just to get ass either.
Buju Banton the Reggae Legend Make song about Ladys, relationship, Club Joints that Both Genders can Feel.. And Free Buju by the Way!
This album even sounds a little better after more than one play.
Click on the Name and Ill show You how to do this Son!

joe6pack ur an absolute clown. u fuck with cash money but not drake? cash money is straight up grabage besides drake nd wayne. learn how to spell too so u dnt look like a retard. for the other clown who said the album dsnt relate to listeners ur just plain dumb. just bc it dsnt relate to u dsnt mean that it dsnt relate to OTHER ppl dumbass. ne one who gives this 1 star is just hating hardcore
yep i been bumping cashmoney way b4 drake came along homie 96,97
you know when you brought em first album back then i went out and brought (B.G) chopper city n the ghetto (JUVIE) 400degreez
Amazing album. Drake has created a new sound, while still lyrically killin all the tracks.
I agree with HiphopDX that Drake’s album is disappointing. He’s so over hyped. When I listen to his album I was yawning and wanting to sleep. I’m not a hater ok just truth teller.
I’m gonna buy Eminem’s Recovery instead. It’s fucking classic.
Oh that’s too bad that you can only choose one.
hahah
You people are straight wierdos. What the hell were you expecting from Drake? Illmatic or some shit. The dude delivered exactly what he’s known for, R&B hooks and some nice lyrics. HE IS NOT A PURE MC and that was never a secret. Drake is nice with his. You don’t get it period. The album is fire and you will see as the summer goes.
you kinda summed up exactly what the problem with the album was, except “nice lyrics” is a massive stretch
its called thank me later for a reason
HELLO! Co-sign.
Drake get flow but this album is below average ,I was expecting more from Drake .even +so far gone+ is way better than +thank me later+
I can not deal with you lames on this site, it’s disgusting how narrow minded you so-called real hip-hop fans are. Drake is NICE! That album is what you want to balance out harder shit like Recovery or introspective shit like Distant Relatives (which MOST of you are not bumping, don’t lie).
To me it feels like the writer is being a bit harsh on Drake since he has all this hype. Drake has never really been my shit, but I did take a listen to the album and its not that bad. Too me, he is trying to be a complete artist which I respect but I wonder if he cares about making good music or just seeling well. I like the Kanye tracks and the Timbaland track the most.
Recovery!
Fail… HipHopDX have officially turned in haters, y’all let me down… Good change is good homies, who ever gave a second listen to Room For Improvement and Comeback Season?
look at this bicth. can’t have an opinion or else your hating. fukk outta nigga it is what it is TRASH!!
fact is the beats are boring mane. he didnt get any hard hittin beats like i suggested. i knew he would get these soft ones but if he was tryin to balance it he shoulda rhymed over at least three or four hard hittin primo or alchemist beats… on second thought i think drake might be a lil too soft to rap over primo beats! his lyrics arent bad they just aint nothin interesting on this… a few cool lines here and there. i think most of yall givin it good reviews are women because that is pretty much who this is catered to. i actually like drake but this i DONT LIKE MANE! he lit the firecracker but it didnt explode…
I guess I’m a woman then cuz Thank Me Later bangs.
THIS ALBUM GO HARD, PLEASE QUIT THE HATIN
Its a great R & B album
And that’s bad?
Ya it’s bad when your on a site called HIPHOPDX. This ain’t hip-hop. This is R&B/HipPop. It’s for the 17 year old white girls…… oh sorry “the target market for commercial music success”.
wait, are you saying hammer and rob base are real hip-hop? and “rapper’s delight” was a song, not a group.
Oh I’m sorry HiphopDX, I guess I can only listen to Eminem for ever. I’m always going to be in a pissed off mode and never want to chill or dance. Yeah cuz Rob Base, Hammer, Heavy D, Rappers Delight, Salt N Pepper, Run DMC, Beastie Boys never made a party song. Hip-hop could never do that right?
he dont make party songs faggot, he makes little gay pop records
Ah if it ain’t the dumbest nigga on the planet, ROYCE.
I gave the album a 3 listened to it 2wice through and prolly never again, i think the ratings are for the hype that was built around this project, it certainly didnt live up to the hype i think we all can agree on that, its way to many features for a debut album, the jeezy track was the best on their to me, fancy was aight, and kanye already gave us 808’s so we dont give a F about drake gmom in a nursing home like really. think the rating was a tad harsh with the 2.5 but i only give it a 3 so DX almost on the right track, btw completely overshadowed by the eminem leak, because that album is atleast a 4/5 at the least
this shit is such a fail!
there were like 2 good songs 2 more that were aight and the rest were fucking trash can’t believe this passes as an album these days SMH
over hyped bullshit, shit’s even deleted from the recycle bin.
Sensational album. Drake once again delivered. Lyrical genius. Signature Drake style. And some nice new sounds.
Even though the album is called “Thank Me Later”, Drake, I’d like to thank you now for giving us such a phenomenal album to kick the summer off right.
Well said. It’s his style and not some other style everybody who hates on him wants it to be.
The second “Recovery” leaked this album became nothing more then a frisbee.
Drake be doin it up wit the album, its sickk
Fine men’s and woman’s diamond jewelry at affordable prices
www .212diamondcity. com
2 me not no one else, it is not what I wanted as a consumer. I really cant see myself buying this album for me, for my girl is another thing. Women out do men in purchasing albums of artist they like. drake will still do great numbers, his album will be how C3 was all over the place and still sell a Milli in a week, But when you on YM and can do what ever the hell you want…….who cares what we think, this is his artwork, and he will be the one suffering, are gaining from this output.
sorry album let me down..
I guess my friend was right, there are some artists that put more effort in their mixtapes than they do the albums. I agree that this album isn’t like So Far Gone (that mixtape wasn’t just chilled it had some bumpers as well), but I can see this album as an album to smoke to. Just something to chill out to. You’re not going to get the result that you would get from listening to a new T.I. or Eminem’s album or new J. Cole, Jeezy, Game, Nas, Jay-Z (I’m not a fan of that guy), B.o.B, and so on…so I give it 3 stars only because it was OVERHYPED, a let down from So Far Gone, and not what I expected, but still quality chill music, now if I have trouble sleeping I know what album I’m putting in 🙂
really give it a minus 1- what a talentless fuck he is- all industry connects and no talent- all hype no substance. Dude needs to quit rappin and just be a shitty r&b singer. cheeseball- DRAKE IS THE BIGGEST JOKE OF ALL TIME- TRYIN SO HARD TO ACT LIKE A G, BUT YOU CAN TELL HE’S JUST A FLAKEY LITTLE WEASEL. HE’S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW THE IINDUSTRY IS KILLING THE ART AND HOW DUMB PEOPLE KEEP WEAK ARTISTS GOING! dRAKE IS A CULTURE VULTURE, BITING STYLE AND FAKING THE FUNK- USING HIP HOP TO MAKE MONEY, BUT NOT EVEN DELIVERING A HALF SOLID ALBUM.
So Far Gone is a classic mixtape, the best mixtape Ive ever heard in my life.
But…
Thank Me Later IS disappointing… Sorry Drake, but there really is nothing to label this a “classic”. Don’t get me wrong there are parts of the album that are great, I like the red thread and the cohesive build of the album. But nothing sticks out, nothing makes me go “whoa” and you don’t bring in any new influence with this album..
So Far Gone was so fresh and had so many dope lines, Thank Me Later just isn’t what I expected it to be.
So Far Gone is good.
but The Warm Up>>>>>>>>>>So Far Gone
and it was all J Cole he didn’t need any help.
If that was the best mixtape you’ve ever heard, you’re either young as hell or don’t get out much lol.
imma Download Thank Me Later and buy J. Coles Debut
Are you 10?
growupplease get of drakes dick
ROYCE learn to spell son and you can get “OFF” my dick.
the album is very good thats my opinion
i liked the album not as good as it could have been but hes feeling himself into the game
WACK!!! this shit was wack. no replay value,n drake aint got nothing to rap about,its da same shit over n over again
Yeah Cuz Eminem has NEVER spit about the shit that’s on Recovery before. He’s so original right? Fuck Outta here lame.
WAH WAHH WAHH it’s not Eminem, it’s not underground, he’s singing wah wah wahhhh. Keep hating fools this album bumps no matter what you think.
Drake sings? WTF! Why didn’t you tell me! Man we can’t have that, NOT SINGING OH NOOOOOOO!!!!
Thank Me Later is FIRE you nerds.
Haha, the issue isn’t that he sings, it’s that he can’t rap. Why not just sing for the whole song if that’s all you do well?
He CAN rap stop being so got damn stiff about everything new. Why would Jay even do a track with a dude that doesn’t get down anyway. He definitely doesn’t need the money or attention.
nope he cant rap to save his life i can only remember one good line out of this piece of shit. overhypped bullshit and who are you trying to convince that he can rap?
Jay does kinda need the attention. He’s almost irrelevant to the buying public right about now. Why else would he co-sign Wayne and Drake, especially Wayne. How do you let this garbage lil coon take shots at you then put him on. Is Jay scared to be a bully in the industry when he clearly has that position. and what is so significant about Jay’s co-sign. He’s co-signed alot of artists in his time and only 2-3 have done anything worth a damn (Kanye and T.I.), one was a can deny moment because he got eclipsed by his own artists and the other was a business move to keep the south on his side. Other than that, he is batting about .200. The buying public is 17-24, which means they was either 3-10 yrs old when he dropped Reasonable Doubt. Jay says he likes competition but does everything to stay out of a competitive match. Co-signs Wayne, SIGNS NAS, doesn’t put money behind anybody on Def Jam during his reign of Terror there, except for those he had in pocket (jeezy and Kanye please stand up). There are at least 10 niggas in every project in America that is lyrically more diverse and better than Drake. Its the ghost in the machine.
personally i think this album shits all over Recovery
I think they are 2 completely different vibes but you know that’s being a normal thinking human. Both CDs will be on deck.
Proof that Drake is an average emcee (at best) that somehow caught crazy hype. Dude can sing, which has helped him make good records in the past, but as a rapper he is just OK, nothing more.
Proof? Oh NO you got him now! Damn detective I guess I shouldn’t listen to him cuz he can only sing. He’s not Em I get it.
this album is sick. not as good as so far gone but he really has some great tracks on here. i would say 6 r 7 classic tracks. u have to know about girls aged 18-25 to understand this album. not for goons
You have to know girls period. This album is definitely not for stiff, non-dancing, no rhythm, hip-hop nerds. Truth be told drake can spit also.
For all yall so-called Drake fans. He’s a FUCKIN’ actor. He playin yall chump ass niggas. He should of came out as an R&B artist. If I wanna hear a nigga sing I’ll get an Usher cd. Rappers rap R&B artists sing and harmonize, hit notes and shit. Rap lives and was born in the streets and to real niggas we ALL see thru Drake and what the industry is force feeding us. If he wanna talk about bitches all the time just do duets wit Maxwell and Trey Songz cause the rap world is for the hard not the weak. That’s why rap is weak cause you’ll never catch real rappers singin songs on a rap album. And I’m talkin about Jay-Z, Styles P, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Rakim, 2Pac, Biggie, Naughty By Nature, DMX, and even Eve or Lil’Kim. Which goes to prove that rap bitches don’t sing either cause it’s fuckin’ RAP niggas.
Hey dude, I like girls, weed, and going ape with friends, but this album sucks sooooo badly. It’s extremely mediocre and Drake fell way below the hype in the end. If anything this album’s going to be eaten up mostly by clueless wannabe’s and ofcouse teenage girls….and possibly old jewish ladies.
Are we really surprised? “Last name ‘ever,’ first name ‘greatest…” yeah, yeah, yeah, partna, get your weight up in lyrical ability before you talk that nonsense.
Worst album ever. No joke.
He sounds more like a whiny white bitch on this album than he ever has, the hype is over and done with.

Album failed. Not a single good track that has replay value or anything. Drake doesnt say anything. He just rhymes about anything which comes to his mind and hardly comes across as genuine.
Its sad that there is not a rapper alive today that can make good albums. Don’t know what happened to Jigga, Eminem, Nas and how people can even say that someone like Drake or Lil Wayne are ‘rappers’. Its sad to see the present state of rap. While this is a cliche now, rap IS pretty much on its very last pair of surgically operated upon knees.
Time to move on to a new genre.
Maybe you’re the one who needs to move on because obviously as you stated hip-hop today is not moving you. Millions of other people on the planet think otherwise.
@youdontsay
millions of people also agreed with Hitler. its not about what millions of people think, its about real talk, and real talk hip hop today is wack. when i turn on the radio i should hear slaughterhouse, vinnie paz, immortal, lupe. NOT justin beiber (who is always on my local hip hop/r&b station WTF), gucci mane, or all the other hip pop bullshit.
@brethtaka cosign 100%
@YOUDONTSAY yeah because millions of those people are teenage surburban white kids like yourself, who don’t know shit about music in general.
Come on DX, a 2 1/2, seriously, I think there’s an agenda behind this rating, if not it’s just pure crabbery. Either way, muscially this album is far from a 2.5
man
there should be a government for hip hop
fucking ‘allow who can or cannot drop an album until they become real emcee law’ or somehsit
That same law should apply to the comment section
YEAH TRU THAT YOUDONTSAY
YEAH TRU THAT YOUDONTSAY
cant listen to it more than once gets annoying, no bars , too much singing on hooks
Come on HHDX. Definitely better than a 2 1/2. Thats a little harsh. At least there were some smackin ass beat on their. That Thank Me Now beats a banger, same with Fancy and Miss Me.
Solid album, its not gangsta rap, its something that you can listen to when you have a pretty girl in the car with you, what do most of you guys listen to plies? This is not a great album but it is a good album worth the ten bucks, stop hatin, elevate your mind and the variety in the music you listen to. Get that Nas and Damien Marley too while your at it, another great album……….
this album is not shit. its just not amazing. he tried to come across as an mc and people liked him for his rhymes not singing ability, and the weird thing is he changed his image so fast. im not sure what to make of this album but it’s a 3.5 or 3, not a 2.5 at all. but its also nowhere near classic. sucks though cuz he had potential.
Dear Drake,
Could you please go away. Far, far away. You are the product of the modern day marketing machine, very much like Obama (but thats a different topic). Edward Bernays couldn’t have sold you better to the people. Im far from ‘hating’ as I have listened to this album three times back to back to back, and still can’t find a reason to like it.
Why do you rap through your nose? your voice gives me slight migranes, followed with nausea. Not only is your voice annoying but the fact that you rap about absolutely nothing is incomprehensible. Are you really that shallow?
Please Drake,
Go away, Far, far away. So the kids won’t be infected by this virus which is your rash of shitty music.
Youdontsay wins the Dick Rider of The Day award. You must know that Drake is a gimmick who can’t rap. Otherwise you’d let his music speak for itself instead of feeling the need to argue with every negative comment made by people who are objectively judging this album. I give Drake credit for knowing how to make songs that will get spins on the radio, that’s not a talent all singers have. Unfortunately, the songs lack any substance or artistic merit, and he couldn’t rhyme his way out of a wet paper bag. Hey, if you like watered down hip-hop that’s only meant to get radio play then I won’t argue with you.
Co-sign 100%
Didn’t even read your comment. You’re just mad that I got at your ignorant ass. Just give me a “fuck You” and move on son.
Now before all the dick-riders start calling me a hater let me say that for an R & B album, this would prolly be a 3.5/5, maybe even a 4/5. But I am a Hip-Hop fan. This is a Hip-Hop website. So to me this album was mostly garbage. The Jeezy track was pretty nice so was the Jigga track (and I’m not really a Jigga fan to begin with) but overall it was a disaster. It’s to bad that this site is littered with Y.M stans and haters that people who want honest opinions from people have to sift through all the garbage that some people write. If you think this is a 5 or a 1 than your more than likely a complete tool who doesn’t deserve to post on a Hip-Hop site. Plain and simple, this is exactly what you’d expect from Drake on an official album, a ton of really corny tracks aimed at the target market of the music industry which is 16-24 year old white girls.
Drake SINGS and RAPS get it! It ain’t a fucking secret. It’s also not a bad thing especially since he does it well. The album is a nice break from all the harder shit.
Diddy kind of touched on this style back when he was pushing Jodeci, remember them? I know the johnny come latelys won’t but it’s a R&B group with a hip-hop edge. I don’t look to Drake for heavy lyrics, I love his vibe. But he does have lyrics.
Thank Me Later is on point and the features are perfect especially Jeezy, TI and Jigga tracks. This is the shit grown men can bump during the summer with the top down at night on the way to the club, party or beach.
The entire CD bangs. AND guess what, I have the capacity to also listen to Distant Relatives and Recovery just as well but for different reasons.
I thought it was fresh maybe too many guests for a first album but Kanye did a few on college dropout. Looking forward to album #2.
For all yall so-called Drake fans. He’s a FUCKIN’ actor. He playin yall chump ass niggas. He should of came out as an R&B artist. If I wanna hear a nigga sing I’ll get an Usher cd. Rappers rap R&B artists sing and harmonize, hit notes and shit. Rap lives and was born in the streets and to real niggas we ALL see thru Drake and what the industry is force feeding us. If he wanna talk about bitches all the time just do duets wit Maxwell and Trey Songz cause the rap world is for the hard not the weak. That’s why rap is weak cause you’ll never catch real rappers singin songs on a rap album. And I’m talkin about Jay-Z, Styles P, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Rakim, 2Pac, Biggie, Naughty By Nature, DMX, and even Eve or Lil’Kim. Which goes to prove that rap bitches don’t sing either cause it’s fuckin’ RAP niggas.
FUCK Drake. GO listen to some FRENCH MONTANA, CURREN$Y, NIPSEY HUSSLE, or WIZ KHALIFA. Some real niggas that make good music!!
All the rappers you mentioned have sang in at least one or two songs. AND ALL of them have records with pop artist, ALL OF THEM. They ALL work for the industry!
Method Man and Mary J made one the hardest crossover tracks ever. DMX been singing or harmonizing since day one! I could go on and on. It’s NOT a bad thing when done right.
I AM DONE WITH THIS SITE! Most of yawl don’t know shit about hip-hop before Eminem and Tupac anyway.
” Rap lives and was born in the streets ” not completely acurate. all though it was born in the strteets, some of you best mcs wee from the streets. Prime example is Rakim, de la soul, etc
i agree that drake is a boring ass bitch.. but u cant hate him because he is a actor or because he aint rappin about hardcore street shit.. its 2010,u dont have to be a gangster or have a mother on crack to rap in these days. u just have to be talented.. dont hate him beacuse he sings. u mentioned wiz khalifa.. khalifa sings a bit… devin the dude is the dude,and he sings.. actually i have been in the studio with devin the dude in norway and he his the coolest,chillest guy ever. he sat in the sofa and ate potato chips and smoked weed,and he dropped potatochips on the floor,then he started vacuuming the floor with a vacuumcleaner.. how many rappers would do that shit? nobody other than THE DUDE.. we love u in norway man. hope u come back soon baby!! sorry for my bad english. im from norway.
Alright first off, I respect your opinion.
But holy shit man, calm your balls.
If you “real niggas” are so “hard and not weak” then keep listening to whatever you listen to, nobody is trying to force you to listen to Drake.
But when you go around saying “FUCK Drake” and mocking his style, then you’ve crossed the line.
Drake’s style is unique, his lyricism is unmatched, and his sound is new and refreshing. And if you can’t respect that, then just fucking leave, cause nobody likes a hater, such as yourself.
And you’re right, Drake should’ve come out as a R&B singer, and in an interview (still trying to find it), he made a hint at the fact that he wasn’t a rapper, and that he was more of an R&B singer.
Also, I think you ought to respect Drake, actually. Because your “real niggas”, including Jay-Z and Young Jeezy have worked with and respected Drake’s ability on this album, as well as on “So Far Gone”. So, hating on Drake is almost like giving the finger to your “real niggas”.
And finally, don’t go around hating on Drake because his style is different from Jay-Z, Styles P, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Rakim, 2Pac, Biggie, Naughty By Nature, or DMX.
Drake is who he is, and that’s how he’s where he is now. He’s not going to change the style that has made him millions just because some punk, like yourself, doesn’t like it.
Don’t hate on Drake’s style just because he’s living the good life, and you’re sitting on a chair in you house bashing him on HipHopDX because you’re pathetic and lonely, because that’s not what a “real nigga” would do, such as yourself (although I don’t consider someone who sits in their house reviewing Drake on HipHopDX to be a “real nigga”. In other words, I think you’re pathetic).
3 Negatives:
1. Too many damn features, and he let all the rap features take over the song w/ no 2nd verse from him (ex: Up All Night, Light Up, Unforgettable, Miss Me, Fancy (Drake did 2 verses but I think Tip burned his ass w/ his 1))
2. Too much damn hype around it( he could’ve gotten away w/ this album if he was someone else, but all the fans outside of hip hop know him as “the savior of hip hop”, so he fucked up under the pressure)
3. Too much reluctance and need for approval(he should have took it back to Room For Improvement and Comeback Season kind of rapping, but since he blew up off of So Far Gone, he decided to basically make a So Far Gone 2 out of Thank Me Later, but this is at-best a top straight-to-DVD seller)
3 Positives:
1. The R & B features (Alicia did her thing on the Fireworks hook (wish she would’ve gotten a verse, and Drake & The-Dream gave a song that’s on the playlist lowkey for the wifey in Shut It Down)
2. The singles are the best of the album (Over, Find Your Love, and now Miss Me are some of the good of this album)
3. Thank Me Now was a pretty good ending to the album
3/5-It was OK. Recovery murdered it, and TM103, Good Ass Job, Lasers, and King Uncaged will send it to the morgue, toe-tag it, and have it ready for cremation.
wack, even for drake standards. dude’s just mad self-indulgent. i mean, i’m glad he raps about what he knows (ie. himself and the ladies), but it doesn’t make it any more enjoyable to listen to.
Congratulations to Drake for the money that he will make off this album.
BUT………………….I won’t be buying, downloading, listening, or supporting this attempted destruction the culture.
You’ll know every word by the end of the summer unless you live in a hole. Shits fire.
Yeah, it’s nice down here.
I don’t think he cares if you buy it or not. Because either way, he’s making millions, and you’re still sitting in your house, pathetic and lonely, reviewing him on HipHopDX.
@HIPHOP— your like a drunk nigga telling another nigga he needs to stop drinking.
Bitch you doing the same thing I’m doing. JACKASS!
@ICU— I’m not at all doing what you doing.
I’m just a guy who gets a good laugh from haters who can’t acknowledge good music when it punches them across the face.
You’re just a guy who can’t stand to see a guy make millions off of new and refreshing style that no one has ever seen. And therefore feels the need to log on to HipHopDX and hate on the guy for the money he’s going to make, in order to feel like he has some power in this world, even though he’s just some insignificant human being who no one cares about. That’s what you are.
Big difference between you and I.
@HIP POP— I grew up off of gutta shit(Nas, Wu, Big, Pac). With that being said, I wouldn’t be caught dead bumping this shit in my car.
Bra man, if you fuck with dude, good for you. All I’m saying is, I CAN’T, I WON’T, AND I DON’T.
This was a big disappointment. Nice try Drake. J. Cole is gonna kill this guy…
good album not great but better den most of wat has cameout he has rap and r&b hits
alot ppl jus wanna hate cus of the hype but he earned his sucess
This is an R&B album, and Drakes punch lines are so predictable
I wouldnt say predictable, I would proabably say dumb as fuck in some places
Like “speak ur language, rosetta stone” pretty weak and random
Disappointment!
Its an ok album, To me So Far Gone was his first album. People gon go buy it tho cuz of the hype. So Far Gone was better, It’s like pop mixed with rap sound to it. So I know the hip hop heads are not gon like it.
wtf….this album is amazing….im sorry none of you people understand music artistry or you would understand why this album is dope..
2 and a half? really? get off your own dick….
this album is fire…only song I don’t like is the whack ass swizz beatz jawn
http://greentheblock.net/drakepsa#gfa
Outside of the whack album, I would support Drake on the strength of him endorsing this campaign. This is real shyt that affects the inner cities.
2 and a half stars? where’s my ed lover sign? GTFOH! the reviewer doesn’t believe that shit himself….
No focus on this CD. Go back and listen to all the 1st cd’s of greats, jay, big, nas, 50, even Ye. this cant even hold the johnson of those.
Drake = Hip Hop for homosexuals
thank god someone have some sense as to say this album is an all-time flop, because of this dude’s hype. If i could give a less than X i would. From day one, this dude’s flow is so shitty. Is he a hip-POP artist, r&b singer? He can’t even define who he is as an artist. I for one will say this, if drake’s succeeds in the rap game, i will officially declare that hip-hop in the mainstream is dead.
RnB commercial album. Thats it My dear Drake. All the comin’ real hip hop albums will murk that realese, maybe not on the sales but on the message, production, flow and etc. Recovery already did that, Distant relatives already did that – My opinion
As for Usher or Justin Bieber stand point, its a good debut 🙂 But not more !!
Album is garbage. I would download it illegally just to burn it on to a CD and wipe my ass with it.
Let Us Get BAck To What We Call HipHop

Let Us Get BAck To What We Call HipHop
http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/song_details/4170751?play_now=true
Indeed let us get back to what is called hip hop.
Therefore, your song should be erased from this earth, so we don’t have to listen to that fake hip hop ever again.
Your garbage as fuck don’t ever hype up your shit again faggot
the album is good but not great and definitely did not live up to the hype…also it got overshadowed by eminem which i cant stop listening too…on to the next one with drake
..
I feel sorry for Drake because this guy has a whole lot of talent, but this album (as an album) does not showcase it. Hopefully things will be better on the next album.
agreed
he’s what wrong with this music , dude’s like this that dare to claim hip hop but spit gay rap , fuck him and fuck rappers like him like kanye west and lil wayne
Go back to grade 1, and learn some proper grammar.

Gay W you dont what your talking about….. Let the grown ups discuss hip hop.
2.5
Thats just too low.
how the hell is this album a 2.5?
this album is a 4 or 5
drake did his thing on this album
hiphopdx always rates albums high that aren’t even that good
but this album has a different sound to it
drake has a future in music
i don’t c an album comin out this year thats gonna be better
drake had the best mixtape last year so far gone
he’s gonna have the best album of 2010
Better albums this year: Eminem’s Recovery, The Roots’ How I Got Over, and more than likely Kanye West’s Good Ass Job.
nas and damians marleys new joint is betta then this tho
damn i was expecting a 4 from dx but they proved me wrong and im happy, cuz i felt this album was bullshit aside from few tracks 2.5 is just perfect.great job dx great fuckin job
THIS ALBUM IS TOTAL GARBAGE…..I KNOW DRAKE IS A REALLY WEAK RAPPER AND IS A CHEESEY RAPPER, DUDE IS FRIENDS WITH JUSTIN BIEBER…COME ON, THIS GUY IS JUST A LITTLE BETTER THEN K-FED, THIS ALBUM IS A FRISBEE, FINAL SAY: ABSOLUTE GARBAGE
if recovery didnt leak this bitch would get a 4 for sure, but then eminems songs smashed this shit so it gets 2.5, while recovery will get a 4.5
GO READ HIPHOPGAME’S REVIEW!!!
MUCH BETTER! MUCH LESS BIASED!
hip hop dx review is the truth.
Artistry? This kid can’t even RAP (not to mention his awful strip club singing)!! imagine composing or doing something better.
Total garbage
You mother fuckas ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND this CD is hot to def!
That Jeezy track is wack? Are you U serious! That shit is fly as hell.
Shut It Down is straight NICE. Drake kills it plus the hook is crazy especially the way Jeezy comes in on it.
The song with T.I. is bananas, that break beat is on some Tribe Called quest shit.
Light Up is hard body. Over not hot? Really.
You gotta be a straight cornball to not at least give the album a chance to grow on you. To many legends in the game gave the dude the co-sign for yawl to write off Drake that easily. But yawl think Wayne can’t rap either so why am I surprised.
legends c/s this dude for publicity if you didn’t know that you lost.
Ah it’s MYLIE the detective again.
They co-sign him because he’s going to make them all a lot of money. They are smart enough to recognize that the game is different for Drake’s generation than it was for us and for them. I wouldn’t be surprise if they sleep at night saying to themselves that what they are co-signing is an artist who is totally of is time. I can’t imagine any of them seriously thinking he has timeless skill that will endure, that can rightfully be compared to theirs. They are good little capitalists making their money. And they know that their co-sign makes heads who are less discerning give the kid a chance. But make no mistake – Drake is wack.
Unforgettable is one of the hardest songs out right now, yawl are bugging the fuck out.
true
this goes to show that jus becuz its on the radio, dont mean its good music. yes i think drake is pretty good, but he caught the hypnitis. STICK TO THE WHEELCHAIR ON THE SHOW HOMIE, REAL HEADS IN THE STATES DONT SALUTE NONE OF YA SHIT, TAKE THAT SHIT BACK TO CANADA . PZ
That was so corny.

YOU KNOW THIS GUY IS A CHEESY POP RAPPER MEANT FOR FAGGOTS WHO LIKE FAGS LIKE LIL WAYNE….RAPPERS NOWADAYS ARE SO WEAK! ONLY ONES DOING THINGS ARE UNDERGROUND RAPPERS LIKE LITTLE BROTHER, BLACK MILK, SLUM VILLAGE, APATHY, ETC. FAMOUS RAPPERS I CAN ONLY REALLY APPRECIATE EMINEM, JAY-Z, SNOOP, BUN B AND A COUPLE OTHERS….I AM A RAW THINKER I WILL SAY LOL
I must be a HUGE FAG cuz this shit is dope!
you probably are then lol
typical ass sucka…get some orginality in your post, will ya?>
IS THAT DIRECTED AT MOA, CAN’T BE
THEY MUST BE TALKIN TO THEMSELVES HOV, HANDS FREE
DRAKE this is how they come at you…
I really can’t figure out what it is that people are hearing in this kid. He’s disgustingly overrated. I think he lacks even a rudimentary understanding of flow.
3/5 for originality and not being afraid of people hating on him for not doing just rap. It’s music, yes for all the boom bap heads this is not pure hip hop but you gotta let shit grow and evolve. There’s a lane for that shit and those artists spit to the same fans in the same lane so you can’t hate on the kid for trying to further his reach.
Problem with this for being a debut is unlike So Far Gone, it lacks continuity and an overall prescence theme that made So Far Gone such a novelty.
The production is too somber and you begin to think did Universal just give drake the $ to do his thing on his own? In this case, it would’ve helped to have some strong A&R direction…
But outside of the singles: Karaoke and Unforgettable (Jeezy is great on the hook)
But DX you really going to give Yukmouth’s album a higher rating than this? Fuck outta here. I’m from the bay too.
You’re like The Source of this shit now. Wack.
Niggas with that “pure” hip hop shit need to stop though. What the fuck is “Pure” hip hop? Niggas going say Drake don’t make “pure” hip hop when he wants? Sit down niggas. I’m a fan of that nigga Kurtis Blow, is that NOT pure hip hop? LL Cool J made love songs in the 80’s, was he NOT pure hip hop? Rappers got more avenues to use these days, stop trying to limit them! I co-sign the above comment
Y’all need to stop. This album was put togehter weel even if a few of the slow tracks were garbage. 3.5. Y’all on that hate shit with the comparisons to the greats already. He isn’t the only newcomer rapper (or old in general) to proclaim himself as the best. It’s called being confident and like EVERY rapper will say to be politically correct if you dont believe you the best then why bother rapping? Also, if you think bout it, this might be his FIRST official release but this isn’t his first album. Niggas should look at Comeback Season as his Reasonable Doubt. SMH, I’ll give you some of the slow songs being lame (ugh The Dream song yuck), but Miss Me, Thank Me Now and Light Up are glory.
REAL SHIT. Tho drake is basically a rapping RnB Singer, he’s changing the game. He’s making feminine music that threatens the masculine nature of hip-hop. I’m srry but thats groud-breaking.. It definitly isn’t “so far gone” which had a well executed concept, but this dude is making the same mistake that LL’s critics made
i was really disappointed with this album…i had such high hopes for this kid
he had so much potential to output a classic debut but instead he delivered an average joe good enough for debut album
Drake needs to give up the r & b records and focus on being the dopest mc he can be…….obviously he’s a talented spitter and still have the potential to drop a classic “hip hop album”……..he needs to dig deep in his thoughts like Eminem did with Recovery…………maybe he dont have enough soul to drop a album that the hiphop purest can feel…………with all this being said he still will drop radio hits off that album
For the sake of being rational this album gets a 2/5. Thank Me Later turned out to be below the hype that’s been channeled thoughout the globe. Now I’m reviewing this album from the perspective of when I’m by myself or with friends, not when I’m with a girl. Anyway Drake is too pop orientated for me. His lack of skills as a lyricist don’t make him very entertaining. And the songs are so paperthin in content that you can’t even disect them. IMHO Drake’s debut album is a failed effort. The only hope I have for him as an aritist is that he does a 180 on his next album just like when Radiohead went from Pablo Honey to The Bends. Also he was so annoying at Summer Jam when he kept saying “free Weezy” over and over again.
I don’t get what’s so special about Drake. Before joining Young Money, he was just an overhyped rapper who was average @ best…now he’s an overhyped rapper who just sucks. Not suprised that this album got 2.5 from the users.
this was the most overhyped/underwhelming album of all time, it only gets two stars for the only two hot joints on the whole shit…fuck drake
and exactly when did drake “claim” himself as the greatest ever? if yu ask me all the hype that came from signing with wayne and so far gone only set him up for failure..i think people expected way too much from him with his first debut only cause he signed with wayne and put out a great mixtape.
On the track Forever. He opens up his verse saying “last name ever, first name greatest.” Drake is not an MC, Lil Wayne is not an MC. They’re just commercial rappers, businessmen. Sure they make music that gets radio play, but their music sucks, it’s just commercialized bullshit.
First off, Drake is not wack by any means. Drake is actually a pretty talented artist, but…his album is just not up to par with the “Last name Ever, First name Greatest” bar he set. Then after hearing Em’s new joint, it really belittles Drake’s album even more…I was gonna give it a 3 until I heard Recovery
album cover has him looking at everyone looking down at for for releasing such a lukewarm, meh album. Freshman slump. He’ll release a better album IMO for his sophomore just like fashawn will.
not great but people are just rating this a 1 becuase they dont like the hype drake has gotten
its still got a number of worthwhile songs I agree the album is way overhyped and drake it an average rapper but the album is ok
can’t imagine its gonna do huge numbers I guess around 200k max first week drakes buzz has gone down since the albums been delayed so much and it leaked
Im gonna be nicer to him then alot of ya’ll and rate it a 3 on some of its highlights because I feel kinda bad that everyone, not just this sit but everyone, is shitting on this album so bad……..
The production is pretty solid throughout
There, thats the highlight, as for the drawbacks??……..Drake is the drawback, he just didnt do anything at all to define himself as an artist, way too many guest spots, If you look back through history, a debut album is suppose to be how you introduce yourself to the world, and the greats did that with minimal Guest spots, Em’s first one, B.I.G’s first one, Nas first one, DMX’s classic debut, all the true stars kept collabos to a minimal so as to introduce their own sound into the mix, Drake sounds like he’s playing the “Fit in with the cool kids” high school shit of just doing the same thing everyone else does and working with every artist who’s on the radio……….
I told everyone he shoulda dropped last year when the buzz was at a fever pitch, with the hype wearing off Drake got put in a position where th Excitement was already cooling and people just wanted to hear the music, and the music didnt deliver………….
Young Money’s Battle plan for this album was an EPIC fail, Dre and Em got 50 on the label and 6 months later he had an album in stores, capitalize on the moment guys, Do you think “Get Rich Or Die Tryin” would have sold 10 milli if they had waited till 2004 to drop it??…….Hell no, Music marks time, and Drakes time was 2009, shame he missed the bus
its a different atmosphere now. So Far gone sold almost half a mill with no promo. Downloading has got to the point to where Jay-z can barely crack 3 mill
The mixtape strategy worked if you asked me. it established a strong fanbase.
So far gone was Drakes first album REALLY, It meets all the characteristics that you discribed in a classic “first album”. This sounds like a commercial follow up, (sumthin like jay-z, nas, or 50 did… you know a bunch of pop songs with heavy features ) this is small mistep but a decent follow up.
Finally a review I can agree with lol.
Several Problems with this review
1st. You can’t judge an album based on it’s artist’s boast. EXPECIALLY IN HIPHOP
Thier are countless examples of mc’s overbragging. You can compare a mc to thier previous work (like jay-z or eminem) but sometimes (like in forever) some boasts work in the context of a song NOT A CAREER
2nd You should judge an album based on impact
Though it is diffuclt it should be done. Impact has a lot more to do with a rap album being classic now and days then perceived artistic value. People generally regard albums that “CHANGE THE GAME” as classic due to the fact they effect what record companies are willing to put out and who thier willing to sign.
this is where the source went wrong on the chronic, slim shady lp, and hip hop dx constantly gets wrong about pop and southern hip hop artist (50, nelly, or wayne, gucci) though these artist are hardly artistic (wayne being the exception) they have changed the game and produced classics (gucci being the exception)
3rd: Hip Hop Dx has finally shown its bias.
It favors “Artistic” Acts over “Commercial” Acts.
While this isn’t unusual in the critics corner; (And I wish more conventional critics like the grammy’s gave talib, nas, or mos def a award instead eminem wayne or jay-z every year) its unfounded in hiphop
Commercial Success Isnt the only factor but it’s a component of what makes a HIP HOP album “CLASSIC”
HIPHOP DX SHOULD PUT THAT INTO ITS CACULATION
Doggystyle: Chronic:: Thank Me Later: So Far Gone
(The Chronic changed the game to ganster rap, like so far gone changed the game to “emo-rap” lol. Doggystyle jus was the commercialization and “cashing in” of that same sound and similar concept.
Remember “Artisitically” KRS 1 has ALWAYS been better then RUN D MC, DMX ALWAYS BETTER then JAY-Z, and EVERYONE ALWAYS BETTER THEN LL COOL J
However, the albums that get remembered, played and enjoyed are the commercially successful ones. Artistic innovation (expecially in hiphop is a fleeting)
No1 remmbers the lyrics to New York State of mind, but everyone still knows Rappers Delight.
Which one would you label more of a classic?
Neway with ALLL that said I think its an alright album certainly on par with TRINA’S!
3 1/2
“No1 remmbers the lyrics to New York State of mind”
^^^^^^ LOL STFU FAGGOT
“No1 remmbers the lyrics to New York State of mind”
^^^^^^ LOL STFU FAGGOT
are you saying this is a classic because it has changed the game to all out pop music?
yo I’m a die hard hiphop head and I KNOW THE LYRICS TO NY STATE OF MIND… but ask around. more people know “If I ruled the world” from it was written a supposedly “sell-out” album…
bad example but I hope u get the gist… o I 4got I’m on a website that calls ne1 who agrees a dick ryder or disagrees a hater..
If that were the case, why has this site championed Get Rich Or Die Tryin’?
No to emo rap….
drake complains about a phantom and sorrowly raps “right now my tour bus is looking like a freak show” on so far gone… this is the equivilant to suburban angst in punk music… it REDICULOUS. but well executed.
He does basically the same thing in light it up.. this nigga basically lements a sad song about living his dreams… ITS FUCKING RETARDED.. but a well done song
hes a Rnb singer that raps
its groudbreaking because he’s bringing feminine sensibilities to such a masculine music (now I know you homophobe’s kneww jerk reaction is to scream FAG) but this is revolutionary in hiphop
When has any hiphop artist ever been able to make almost EVERY song about a relationship? Even Nelly and LL had to deversify more than this kid….
because this “new” sound or perspective or whatevr happens to be pop doesn’t mean its automatically good it jus means its important.. being important in hiphop however means you influence the copycat cocommercial world we live in.. and influence in hiphop has always been a leading indicator of skill. EVEN BEFORE CRITICS AKNOLEDGE SKILL. (Ex: NWA, WAYNE, UGK EcT.) . when you loose your influence it reflects your loss of skill… (exp: nas in the late 90’s, 50, eminem ect)
basically; critics tend to be “lyrical fundamentalist” things like sales and influence keep them honest. they have to recognize intagelbles like song writing, hooks, flow, packaging, ect.
to me the site hasnt ignored get rich or die trying b/c it can’t be ignored!
ONLY the GRAMMY’s CAN IGNORE THAT SHIT….
I MEAN 10 MILL on A DEBUE…
U HAVE TO BE HATING TO SHOOT THAT DOWN
“its groudbreaking because he’s bringing feminine sensibilities to such a masculine music”
Really? Nigga you ever heard of LL Cool J?
I agree with most of what you wrote, save the “everyone better than LL” ish. LL’s genius and skill were ALWAYS overlooked due to the fact that everyone’s girlfriend/jump off/mama was lovin him. In a genre that is very homophobic, it’s humourous to see men complain about rappers not being “hard” enough. HE’S the reason every rapper got a love song on their album, and HE’S one reason why Drake has a lane. DMX was very “emo” with some songs, but his style was aggressive. More importantly, his style was NEEDED in an era where the music veered too far into one direction.
People can talk about the “Industry” and what it force-feeds the public, but the reality is that you have to have IT. “IT” is undefineable, but essentially is that combination of ingredients that allows an artist to be commercially successful, yet be respected by all. Hip-hop seems to be the ONLY genre of music that is most affected by this. Has Phonte – an MC revered by the underground and most “purists” – been quoted in ANY magazine, ANY internet/TV show dissing Drake, an artist he’s worked with for being ass? Has Slum Village? Nickaleus F? Clipse? None of the artists I’ve mentioned have had significant commercial success, yet are well respected within the hip-hop community, and to date have had nothing bad to say about Drake.
I repsect and like Drake’s music. He has an ear for melody, enough lyrical dexterity to keep me engaged (and I grew up on Rakim, Cube et al.), and has a diverse enough sound to stay RELAVENT in an industry and era where music is disposable. If your favourite rapper isn’t where Drake is, it’s b/c either:
1 – He/She is missing 1 or more of the ingredients that gives the “IT” factor.
2 – The path he/she is following will take longer to navigate, but it’s the path he/she chose.
If it’s the 1st, sucks to be you. Pine all day about why MC so and so isn’t on top.
If it’s the 2nd, enjoy the artist you listen to. SUPPORT said artist – go to shows, BUY NOT DOWNLOAD said artist’s album. Request songs on radio – not just college radio, but mainstream stations. I have NEVER heard Janelle Monae on the radio, but her music is TOO GOOD to be ignored any longer, and as such, she’s getting the love and inevitable push that comes with the love.
In the end, Drake has talent. And talent like that has to be respected. The record reviewer clearly does not respect the talent, thus the sh1tty review.

Raw and Uncut
i think drake got a little to caught up in the nonsense. to focused on his own image and being down wit wayne. it’ll probably still sell a bunch of copies, which i guess was the goal.
i’m excited about what j. cole is doin and how hov is just layin back letting a talented artist do his thing. it’s gonna be a classic.
Lets be real drake is an average rapper he dsnt suck by any means. but def overhyped and there is like 3 good joints on this cd where he actually rapped.
him and lil GAYne killed hip hop i was expecting more from the “greatest ever”… go join ur faggot freind in prsion drizzy dis album sucked
all out pop music.Is this really where we are at?
what info you find out the real intent of hip hop and cluture then you will understand why Drake has sold out so early in the game wake up before its to late http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcwFUVxEMY
I don’t think this Andres Vasquez clown could be any more WRONG with this review. This album is hot!! The production is outstanding and Drake’s ability to switch up between rapping and singing – and doing both well – is something that no other artist in the game can do. The slow tracks are actually hot – especially “The Resistance” – and I can put the whole album on and just let it ride… which is something I can’t do with a lot of these wack ass albums that HipHopDX gives 4s and 5s to…
Idiots like Andres Vasquez are why I put no value into HipHopDX reviews. Whenever someone tries to bring something different to the game, they can’t appreciate it because it doesn’t fit into the “rap box” of violence and selling drugs.
The title of the album should’ve been “Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later”…

When you’re as cocky as this dude…and got producers from everywhere trying to give you beats and you’re the “hottest” new “artist”…this is bullshit…yes i got the whole cd…this dude has one flow and one hook…he’ll be dried up by 2012 before we all go
Album is strait garbage
so disappointing because I like drake, I thought he would be a good new mainstream rapper. Too much r&b for a debut album. Only a couple of songs worth listening to (light up, fireworks, unforgettable & miss me). Rest of the album is throwaway and don’t even belong on a mixtape.
I appreciate your honest opinion cause it’s too many dick ryders out there.
This review truly shows the bias in peoples brains now days. Although not a classic….This is a far from average debut album! ITS NOT A FUCKING R&B ALBUM FOR U DUMB WASTE OF CUM FUCKS WHO DONT KNOW MUSIC!!! lyricaly pay homage he’s better than half the cats spitting now days and just because he sings doesnt take away from that. You can never truly meet quote on quote expectations of music consumers now days bc their is no true measurement of such, and just bc drake is’nt rapping about the problems of west africa & ainchent biblical prophecies doesnt mean he’s sum sellout commercial artest. the lyrics are very honest, not fabricating a false “big pimping” lifestyle or depressing us with distant relatives shit. Ignorat writers such as whoever wrote this review should sit on a dead mans dick and ask themselves “did i choose the right career?” because i thought journalism was for the non-bias at the end of the day
You the dumb fuck cause you can’t compare this album to anyone else’s 1st album cause it ain’t good.
im gonna make this real simple for you dbags. get off the gangsta rap dick cause most them are gimmicks anyways. this album was better than 90% of debut albums ever made. how many people sound like drake? NO ONE. dude has lyrics, flow, can sing……wtf else ya’ll want? lol
lol @ the dick riders! call it for what it is, a hot ass debut album. 90% of rappers out now, can’t fuck with drake lyrically. wtf?
Surreal – Having an oddly dreamlike quality.
That’s exactly where you @ muthafucka, in a dream, if you like Drake and think he’s good and don’t sound like Wayne or Wiz Khalifa. He’s a fuckin singer and not a rapper and let’s get one thing str8. Gangsta music was named by the MEDIA, it’s original name was Reality Music. But don’t never down Gangsta Rap cause it’s the best rap we ever had.
Rap isn’t dead. It’s fan base is. And, these reviews prove it. This album was great.
Co-sign that.
feel likewise yo.
FLOP
I honestly think that Drake’s album was pretty good. I thought that the mix between up tempo and R&B joints for the most part was ok. Alot of people are saying its not good but when you listen to it a few times alot of the hooks are catchy and much of the actual album actually has good lyrics. I believe that most people just dont like Drake but musically he’s straight to me.
sigh
I give the album a 4 out of 5 in my opinion he had some really good songs on there to me and its better than alot of the music thats came out in the last year.
This is a complete ALBUM that has generated insane BUZZ. Look at all these posts!
1. Why doesn’t Mr. Vasquez say anything about how the album FLOWS. Rappers can’t seem to do that these days, and each song builds upon the previous. For instance, “Unforgettable” wasn’t too good when I heard it by itself – then, I heard the entire album and it was PERFECT for where it was placed.
2. Why doesn’t Mr. Vasquez say anything about the VERSATILITY of songs. You can’t find too many albums out there that have the variety of songs “Thank Me Later” has. I mean come on, Drake matched The Dream on “Shut It Down” with his singing, then proceeded to match Jay-Z on “Light Up” with his flow. WHO ELSE CAN DO THAT?
3. Why doesn’t Mr. Vasquez say anything about the MAINSTREAM APPEAL. Oh yeah, he just dogs it for being “commercially successful.” This album will bump for the ladies, the gents, the 30 year-olds and the teenagers. At best, Nas and Biggie got to ONE demographic with their albums.
I’m sorry, but Vasquez I think this review fails to see this album from a viewpoint different from your own bias. My man Drake shut it down on this album, and when it sells over a mil, you can THANK HIM NOW. It’s like everyone assumes they’ll be blessed with dope music every summer. Real recognize real…
Peace

lmao
Another good hiphopdx user. Good look yo.
you clowns are just handing out 4’s and 5’s. you’re probably the same clowns that gave c3 a 4 or a 5. that’s like saying it can hang with the likes of the college dropout, reasonable doubt, marshall mathers lp, food and liquor, aquemini, 36 chambers, etc. it’s nowhere near that.
drake sounds the same on all his songs. he can’t sing, he just lightens his voice. trey songs can sing. musiq souldchild can sing. john legend can sing. drake has the same flow on 90% of his songs. why can’t he switch it up and have better word play. i’m guessing half of you kids are still in high school and haven’t heard REAL MUSIC. this isn’t even the best album out.
and to dude that said hip hop isn’t dead, the fan base is. you’re half right. hip hop isn’t dead, your taste is.
i hated resonable doubt and i gave this album a 5 because i like it how you gone be made because everybody doesnt share your views
Good point of view. Hard to find ppl wit sense.
hate it or love it
this is just one man opinion on a web site I think he’s off but oh well. All hip hop just gave him 8 1/2 out of 10.
2 problems with this album that keeps it from being great
1. While I don’t mind singing/rapping mix here and there, its a little annoying on the whole album.
2. His flow is the EXACT SAME on every track. Every time he raps its the exact style same beat. Luckily his voice nor flow is Plies level of terrible.
This is a decent album, I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it neither
http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CRYSTALLAKE416 KILL EM AUBREY!
the dude who did a supposed freestyle reading lyrics from his blackberry made a horrible album? Geez, what a shocker
He never said he was freestylin…He wrote the shyt while he was there AND once again he doesnt rep himself as a freestyle rapper…..Do you hear Jay Z freestylin..nah cuz hes not a freestyle rapper…I recall one freestyle with Jay and BIG L..L murdered that shyt and Jay was mediocre but Jay is still one of the greatest. At the end of the day these people are rich because of us lol
If this album was released by any other artist that wasn’t being all hyped up, you all would be on his dick. If his mixtape never came out and no one ever heard of Drake, this shit would be highly reviewed.
Album is garbage
this album is wack that rick ross album the one to be looking for mark my words
This album is fire. Yal are all just not used to change. He doesn’t rep himself strictly as a rapper. People claim not to like this shyt but are gonna be the first ones to by the album and bump that shyt in the whip. Keep it real and stop talkin shyt.
Niggaz please. It’s either you rap or you don’t. And if you don’t you’re a singer. Jadakiss said it best ‘If a nigga half nice, then that mean he whack’. If you go in all the way call yourself the greatest ever then keep it 100% rap.
not a hater …just not feelin this at all
Most of you lames on here were SCREAMING to the moon about how dope Relapse was. You all said it was the best thing out and Eminem is the “realist”.
Shit I wouldn’t be caught DEAD bumping that trash ass album and Recovery is not that much better. In fact Recovery suspiciously has a shit load of singing going on all of a sudden. And Em’s keep his flow the same just like Drake.
But I’m suppose to take yawl’s word that Thank Me Later is garbage? Fuck Outta’ here.
Drake is dope and contrary to what I wrote above Em made a decent album too with Recovery. Jay Z shits on both these niggas anyway.
You are the biggest fuck of a fuckin idiot i have ever fucking heard! Recovery decent????? you are obviously too fucking stupid to catch what Em is saying! Em keeps his flow like drake???? drake sounds the same on every song, Em’s flow is crazy he constantly switches it up. Jay is one of the best rappers all time but he does NOT touch Eminem. Get drakes dick out your ears and mouth and maybe you’ll realize how fucking dumb you sound!
Caught one. You see how mad that nigga got. Fuck outta’ here.
To be PERFECTLY HONEST….the ablum does have 2 good songs…the rest??? is complete crap….and thats me just being impartial….overall 2/5…one guy made a point about people rating it a 4 or 5…putting it up there as a classic with other greats….are YOU GUYS FUCKIN STUPID? at the verrrrrrry best and being generous this album is a 3….BE HONEST you stupid homos…
Good for you hiphopdx. this shit is straight trash. yall quit cosigning this baje ass fag. Hes an actor, and he’s playing a rapper
Again. Another smart nigga. Thanks.
This aint a hating post. Just stating the obvious. If you’re gonna build up this much buzz whereby people are expecting a classic or atleast something that falls just short of that, then this isn’t what you put out. It was a real disappointment, we got too much RnB drizzy & not enough raw hooks. And the hooks we did get, aren’t worthy of the mention classic, it’s not groundbreaking, it’s the same old punchline routine we’ve been getting from YM and we expected something better.
If there was no classic buzz i would have put this at 3/5, that’s prolly the top rating this album deserves. 5/5 is reserved for classics, something no1 should throw around when it comes to album ratings. 4/5 is itself a great body of work and this didn’t fall in that category.
I feel you in the aspect that this isn’t just strictly a rap album. How can these be compared to reasonable doubt etc when its a whole bunch of different styles. It’s not a classic rap or hip hop album. It’s an album in it’s own category, it’s own unique style. Hence the title “Thank Me Later”. It’s too early to call it a classic but it definitely broadened and opened doors for music in general.
Good observation. And I wish Drake fans would stop looking for rap when he’s obviously and R&B artist. I guess he tricked niggaz wit his Academy Award acting skills.
I actually thought it was good, but a weird album. Too many in the middle songs, and then some really great ones…..DON’t Listen to HHDX, i think there reviews are based strictly on ORIGinalty, and it takes more than that to score albums, give this one a try….I like the FInd your love, and the joints wit Jeezy, Weezy, Jay, and Nicki, and Alicia all go hard….and Over is amazing too
2.5 is a bit harsh…………….i would give it a 3, it has a bout 4 good tracks but that’s about it…………..it’s better than alot of the garbage out right now but it is by no means a classic
Half of the album is goob, I say 7 good songs on the album. I expected more from him beacause of all the buzz he had, and as long it took him to finish the album. He should of kept the original hook on the Miss Me song, it was much better. Guess Young Money puts out better mixtapes than they do on they’re real albums! For all you guys saying this is a classic album, please get of his nutz! Also I believe Eminem’s Relapse album was much better than the Recovery album, Recovery is still much better than Drake’s album. Young Money creates really good anticipation for albums, but can’t come thru with classics like Aftermath does.
Thanks. Someone real on this site.
I’m honestly dissapointed with the album. Itz not an epic fail but it didn’t live up to the hype. I’m still a Drake fan tho…
I really liked the vibe of the album plus a lot of rappers ahve lyrics really really worst.
But i just think that sometimes he is really singing to much for example in karaoke or shut it down it makes it hard to call it a rap album.
i think its a 4 honestly…but i gave it a five because 9/10 HHDX users hate Drake.
What they hate is the fact that the world isn’t on Eminem’s dick anymore. Nothing can change them, they stuck in 1990 something. Hate on, hate on.
i think its a 4 honestly…but i gave it a five because 9/10 HHDX users hate Drake.
Its not just DX users, hip hop fans generally like to hate on artists nowadays! Its a shame its ruining the game! Every artist on here gets hate!
i think its a 4 honestly…but i gave it a five because 9/10 HHDX users hate Drake.
i think its a 4 honestly…but i gave it a five because 9/10 HHDX users hate Drake.
Well done DX, was expecting a very bias review! But you said it like it is, and unfortunately this album is’nt very good! Was expecting so much as well! O well still like the boy Drake lets hope the next album he steps up!!!
Everybody is an expert.It’s either good music or bad music.This here is good music whatever the category might be.A great artist will always have mixed reviews.Peace out from down under!!!
And stay down there!!!
Good album. The review sucked. Beats and rhymes were both hot. Problem is, people keep trying to throw him in the hiphop lane. This is just good music, people need to realize that..Drake can spit, but like he says..”when you get into that paper, hiphop always seems to hate ya..if they could do it like i do it, then they would..its in our nature”. One more thing, whats with all this hate about him being an actor? EVERYONE wants to act! 50, Common, Luda, I can name so many. Haters.
Agree, but dont personally like the album.
Eminem made a whole fucking movie. I wouldn’t take anything these haters say seriously. Shit it’s the same 10 motherfuckas with different screen names anyway.
He was an actor 1st, then got n2 rapping. That doesn’t add up dumbass when you make more in films. 50 sold his life story Get Rich Die Trying, Common, Luda, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac never started out acting then oh said ‘Hey I wanna rap now’. Get the fuck outta here yo. Niggaz act cause it brings more money then rapping. That’s why niggaz in rap have to branch out and perform other business ventures. Niggaz make money off shows but even after an album drops, that money touches so many hands before it gets to the rapper. That’s why these niggaz flaunt they advance money. Ain’t no hate ova here, he just ain’t the next best thing that rap is waitin for. Too many rappers came and went (Ja Rule, Nelly, Can-I-Bus, Yung Berg, Chingy…) and Drake fits this category. Which means he isn’t the greatest cause he still raps and never sung love songs (Jay-Z).
problem is he was a childhood actor for a long period of his life. it is obviously a huge part of his upbringing yet he chooses to ignore that aspect(from the radio freindly shit i heard). what is he rapping about? certainly not life,at least not as deeply as these other niggas do
He was an actor first, and? Pac went to drama school so what. Ice T made a song called Cop Killa and portrays cops in most of his roles, so?
Stop posting paragraphs of nonsense with no valid points what’s so ever.
i have to agree with scoob down there. 2.5 is too low. i thought it was going to flop. but i have to give it a 3.75 mostly because of the production and the guests. he didn’t step up lyrically against the others. in my opinion all the guest beat him, even nicki which surprised me even more. also a little too much “singing”
wow i think i cant rely on hip hop dx for reviews anymore cuz this is ridiculous…that is all…
Sorry Haters but Drake can not lose. The shit is fly. Keep singing Drake!
Biggie and Diddy say: PLAYAAAA HATAAAAAHHH turn ya head round
take off that crown you’ve been rooooobbbed.
You can’t do a damn thing.
That was a hard track that he obviously was playin around with. He wasn’t even tryin like Mase & Puff Daddy (not Diddy yet) on ‘Jealous Guy’. And it was about robbing niggaz and not bitches ya dumb fuck.
“And it was about robbing niggaz and not bitches ya dumb fuck.”
Do you even know what you just wrote? Silly niggas kill me.
kids music
I’ll say one thing ITS FUCKED UP THAT ALL THESES ARTIST WORK GETS LEAKED the way it does these days.
allhiphop: People will tell you that today’s music isn’t worth the cost; that there isn’t a point in spending $15.99 for an album that has 3 good songs on it. Wow, and this is coming from a generation that paid $2.99 for a 30 second ringtone.
All you people defending Drake are calling HipHopDX biased and all the haters ignorant and that they dont know music. If HipHopDX was biased then they would go with the hype and call the album great. The problem? The reviewer is being real! He obviously wanted to like the album but it didn’t live up to this massive hype that this idiot produced. Drake buried himself because the dumbass had so many self-centered lines. He literally called himself the “Greatest Ever” solely after releasing a MIXTAPE! And what kind of mixtape gets radioplay? It is a marketing ploy probably paid for by Drake himself and given to that monopoly that is Clear Channel Communications. Drake had money to produce this and to come out with everything he needed. I was offended when some people called him underground! The reason to hate by some is logical. He is backed by Lil Wayne, another self-titled Greatest Ever. Drake may have some big people backing him up, but the reason why is to stay relevant. Jay-Z make a song with Drake? Why? He is a hyped up rapper that people are starting to like. Jay-Z once claimed that Talib Kweli was the best lyricist ever but Kweli isn’t that relevant in mainstream. That’s why he has never made a song with him. Drake sucks. His lyrics are lame and cheap. Who the fuck tries to rhyme “kosher” with “Ebert and Roper?” The reviewer is correct. He had to give it a rank this low because when it comes to what Drake has become, he is now at the bottom. Thank you HipHopDX for being true to yourselves. All you dick-riding Drake lovers can go elsewhere for your corporate paid reviews. This site is keeping itself away from that.
All that and you didn’t say shit. Just get to the point hater and say you don’t like the dude. Getting all serious and butt hurt over another mans success. Every rapper says their the best, EVERYONE of them. Apparently Drake convinced A LOT of people. Who are you?
So I guess you’d prefer more bullshit raps about guns and drugs… get the fuck outta here with that garbage lol
Album’s hot.
Did I ever say anything about guns and drugs? No. Those rappers who talk about that shit are hardly ever there lyrically. So by accusing me of that you like rap about how Drake is the best and how he fucks every girl? Okay then, generalization made. Drake tries to be lyrical and also tries to be game-changer. I have not heard anything from this man that has changed Hip-Hop in any way. I have not heard this artist do ANYTHING that any other artist has done since its beginnings. People have to pick on Drake because this kind of hype is ridiculous. Drake convinced a bunch of idiots to like his music because Weezy had him from day 1. Im pretty sure if Drake wasnt backed by Mr. Carter we would give a less damn about Aubrey Graham. Album is a waste of time. If Drake can grow into a better rapper than yes, i can learn to respect him, but for now, no deal.
Aye man, no hate for my man OldSkooler, but man, I think the album is hot. But, you gotta think about it this way, it’s not HipHopDX that is rating the albums, it’s ONE person who apparently works for HipHopDX who is rating this. And I mean, yeah.. I know the cd caught a lot of pre-release hype, but you gotta think about it, was it Drake that was hyping his own shit? Not really… It was us, the listeners, that hyped it. Drake is hot right now, and he is lyrically nice. But, I believe he is held down by the same group that brought him in, which being Young Money. Think about it, who in that massive ass crew is good? Gudda Gudda… no… Lil Chuckee…fuck no… Nikki Minaj… kill yourself…. If Drake leaves those band of fuck ups, I think he would propel himself up higher than he is at this moment… That’s my opinion though…
I agree with what you are saying ICESOLJA1. Seriously, if Drake can prove to people that he can outgrow himself to be a great rapper then my hate will stop. And the hype is the people, but the output this guy gets by the media is beyond what it should be. I was most offended by him on the cover of Billboard Magazine that called him “The New Face of Hip-Hop.” It is something like that which makes me angry. I heard the album, and that is why I begin to him even more because this isnt anything different. It’s average at best. If a big rapper wants to be the best for the majority, you can’t have an average opening. There is something called a sophomore slump that curses most music artist, meaning there second album will be not as great. If this happens to Drake, expect him to leave the world after that
Seriously OLDSKOOLER91 shut the fuck up dude. Writing all this shit, WE GET IT, you hate him.
I get what you saying, but how can you really say that his style is the same in this album, when he recorded this album before his first mixtape? I mean honestly, he had this album recorded and finished early last year. Who decided that move? You can blame Wayne for that. I mean, you can’t really say much right now. Let’s just see how he does with this Bun B collab that he is working with right now. Like I said, hopefully he can break away from that wack ass Young Money piece of shit, and start dropping his own shit… Because if you listen to the Comeback Season mixtape, Drake isnt the self centered dude that you hear today. But that’s the image of the group. Just listen to all of Young Money shit. Their all self centered. Let’s just wait, and see how his new shit comes about…
getitget get of drakes dick…i co sign oldskooler
drake is overrated n has no substance
@oldskooler91 Co-sign. Ths album is FAR from fire.
RoyCE or whateva’ your name is YOU STILL CAN”T SPELL you dumb-dumb.
@Royce- How do you studder in a internet post? lol
The album is game-changing because of its entire package – I haven’t heard another album that does this good of a job of mixing rap & R&B on the same album… ESPECIALLY when it’s the same artist. I can put the album in and let it ride from beginning to end. Even on So Far Gone, he blended the two genres well… so why is everyone bitching because he’s singing in half the songs?? This isn’t a new concept for him… it’s what he does and he does it well!! His subject matter doesn’t bother me at all… personally, I’d rather hear his material than half of these clowns that rap about guns and drugs and a bunch of shit that they don’t actually do. What rapper doesn’t claim to be the best??
You’re saying that “People have to pick on Drake because this kind of hype is ridiculous” – that’s a hater comment if I’ve ever heard one.
Like, the title of the album should’ve been “Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later”… because the hate is comin hard from people like you lol
Listen to the album from fireworks to thank me now, thats how it’s intended to be listened, each song makes sense. The album just lacked the depth of his mixtape but overall the album is FIREE! JUNE 15TH!
Drake is the worst rapper of all time
Yo momma thought he was the best last night. You know why CUZ HE DRIZZZZYYY!
HORRIBLE ALBUM
It’s all bitchassness at HipHopDX… deleted my post cuz I talked about this Andres Vasquez clown and his wack ass review… further showing why these shitty reviews can’t be taken at face value.
Bet when Waka Flocka drops something, HipHopDX will give it a 5 and hail him as the greatest rapper of our time… clowns lol
This is a hot album that flows from beginning to end… like I said in the other post, “Hate Me Now, Thank Me Later”…
LOL! I feel U, HipHopDX theez NUTS! You know why? CUZ ITS DRIZZYYYY!
this album is the epitome of WHACK!….
Somebody tell Big Baby Davis to wipe his damn mouth! Fucking green bastard!
LAKERS!!!
Yeah it’s Drizzzyyyyyy!
Thank god….if you guys had rated this above 3 stars i would have lost all my respect for dx. this album sucks
LOL! You respect DX? You can’t be serious. This site is wack as fuck regardless of this review.
@Validman
Yet here you are on the site you call wack.
And yea, this album is pretty bad. He cant sing, chose bad production and has the most annoying rap voice i have heard in a while. Its not about hating whats popular or whats new, its just not a good album.
Yeah it’s DRIIZZZYYYYY!!!!
I’m never coming bak on dis website again a two nd a half is far to low let’s be honest drake haters should agree two
CERTIFIED TRASH. BUT UNLIKE ALL YOU DICK RIDERS I WAS NEVER A DRAKE FAN.

Yes, because on the internet opinions= “straight h8terz!!!11!”
Unless the comments say “fuck Drake” with no form of criticizm towards the album IT IS NOT HATING!
IT’S OFFICIAL, A LOT OF YOU HAVE JUST GOTTEN TOO OLD. Go sit down with your too baggy jeans, Wu Tang listening, old asses. Join Lil Kim and cry us a river. WAHHHHH hip-hop is dead!
FUCK YO COUCH YOU BITCHES! You know why, CUZ IT’S DRIIZZZYYY!!!!!
Reading this comment made, fo real, sad inside.
Since when did the fags take over hip hop?
This aint a 2 1/2 star album. It may not have met expectations but there is no way this album deserves that. Its a quality album. Its probably the best hip hop album to drop since Blueprint 3. How could you dismiss “Unforgettable”? Unbelievable
Co-sign. What do you expect from a bunch of clones.
Blueprint 3 wasn’t good…
lmao bp3 aint even a good album
n only clones co sign drakes shit u young money dickriders
blueprint 3 hahaha, ay we all got opinions my equal rocc on with that hahaha yell

Yo Vasquez, here is how to write a proper review my man…
NEW YORK TIMES = QUALITY
See, they actually got Drake for an interview…because he RESPECTS them. This web site is a joke to me now…
The album has its strong points but its to easy to get lost in
alot of the joints sound the same….kinda redundant
checkout what this one dude did to findyour love…best remix out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9FMwpwIrgs
It’s good for the ladies “but some of that shit y’all POP, chew it. I ain’t relatin. If I don’t like, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatin”. – Common “6th Sense”
drake is soooo predictable and wack . cant rap
every song is either how much money he got or about a female .
album is not that great (to me) and that’s just being honest, shit ain’t even a rap album this is the true definition of an alternative album, i mean people commenting on his singing like he got teddy p’s (rest in peace) range hahaha,then saying people don’t know music haha, know what we don’t know is todays (just because it’s popular means it’s good) music.
you equals need to stop crying if somebody don’t like your favorite artist,i agree reviews or crazy here but in no way should they change the way you view an artist just don’t get so worked up by it,if you like this music bang it and buy it when it drop it’s that simple yell
http://www.myspace.com/panhandoelrcorp
You have to see the video where Drake is talking about his favorite artists to work with.
If you have one straight bone in your body. You can not tell me your Gaydar does not go off when he is talking.
First he has a lisp. I thought I was just hearing it in his raps. Like Kanye. They rap with a lisp.
This dude talks with a lisp.
Gaydar started going off.
By the time he starts talking about little Wayne who kisses men in his mouth my Gaydar was hitting a 10.
Lil Wayne. OOOWWWWEEEE.
He turned straight fag. It was unbelievable. World star has it.
The boy is really feminine. I never really heard him talk in an interview.
I’m waiting for him to get a girl like Kanye who likes to wear a strap on.
Straight men don’t suck they teeth. Kanye. and Drake.
Please go watch the video on WorldStar. I guarantee you your GAYDAR will be ringing off the hook if your not gay.
There is no way you can listen to this album and not say that damn near half the beats sound damn near that same. Its has a couple decent cuts on there, but I dont knock the review.
WOW people are slammin drakes album, foreal it was not a bad album at all, but again it wasn’t the greatest thing i’ve heard. It is a 3/5, drake is not wack. It’s jus they hyped him up to much. So Far Gone was something new and fresh, but this album has the same feel to it. As a hip hop fan what do yall want? Niggas said they don’t want money rap or it’s to many gangster rappers. So then drake come out and niggas say his to soft and what not. What do yall niggas want. Fan should jus shut up and go listen to the rappers they like yo.
lmao at all da drake dickriders crying….dis shit is wack let it go same boring shit him talkin some gay female shit…..over n thank me know were dope tho everything else was boring
you are the epitome of a hater
solid 2.5 is a terrible judgement of the music
horrible review this guy is a moron
nah ur just stupid n have no taste in music…
BULLSHIT REVIEW it shoulda gotten a 1…cuz this album was ass
You mean 1 THOUSAND!!! You know why….
LMAO!
All I know is I beat the shit out of whole bunch of MFs in that SFIV on my PS3 (FUCK XBOX) while bumping this album and Recovery.
You know why…. CUZ IT’S DRIZZZYYYYYY!
lmao look at this nigga drakes face da nigga looks like a retarded dog. with eyes spread apart like wayne ass in jail right now….POW fuck this little canadian actor drake smh child stars rapping now whats next rudy from the cosby show is gonna drop a rap album…GET THA FUCK OUTTA HERE
I really stop feeling Drake when i heard ” Every Girl”….. LETS BE REAL… FORGET THE HYPE LETS LOOK AT THE MUSIC… HIS FLOW IS ALWAYS THE SAME….. HIS STORIES AND CONTENT IS ALWAYS THE SAME….. WHEN HE SINGS IT S THE SAME NOTE… SAME KEY…..AND SAME OCTAVE ALL THE TIME… AS FAR THE PRODUCTION FOR THE ALBUM…….. IT WAS A GOOD BACK DROP TO HIS STYLE AND FLOW… BUT…. NOTHING GREAT….. OR NO WHERE NEAR CLASSICAL…. GO CHECK A FEW OF THE CLASSIC FOR YOUR SELF AND JUST LISTEN TO THE BEATS ON THEM… NOT ONE BEAT ON THIS ALBUM WAS MIND BLOWIN…. OK I WILL TYPE IN REGULAR CAPS…. Drake is talented so thats why i gave him a 3……. His talent makes up for his lack of substance ….But talent can only take a person so far….many artist have been signed because their talented. But substance comes with growth over time so only time will telll what we will hear from Drake in the coming years.. As for now Drake will probably sell 3,000,000+ and his whole album will be played on the radio….
DRAKE NO THANKS ON THIS ONE IM STILL EATING OFF OF DISTANT RELATIVES…
Brick City born Hooodaville raised

Hmmm let’s see Drake’s debut album and who has he ALREADY made tracks with:
Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Bun B, T.I., etc. But I guess those niggas are desperate for attention right?
OKKIEDOKIE I’m going to listen to the mental midgets on this site.
aint it sad when u need that many guest spots on ur debut..that’s the sign of a whack rapper to me
Yeah man keep on bending the truth. People say God told them kill people also.
wtf does who his worked with have to do with anything……album is butt butter aka wack shit ….quit dickriding
Hi Royce CHAMPION OF HIP-HOP with your mighty hip-hop cape flowing in the wind! I shall destroy all Drake dickriders in the name of REAL HIP-HOP! Watch me go! Look at my mighty comment!
…………drake is gay…….ha!
you are a mental midget if you think that working with any of those rappers make you any more talented as a rapper.
ATTENTION DRAKE DICKRIDERS!!!
It’s possible for people to NOT like the cd WITHOUT being a hater..The only thing worse than a hater..is a stan who backs up rappers as if they pay they rent or some shit..news flash!..drake dont give 2 fucks about you..so there’s no need to ride him that much..If u like the album then bump that shit and stop whining when people say its wack…which it is btw
your opinion of what it means to be a stan or hata comes into question when one reads your whack screen name. GTFO.
Well said G’
hahaha..ok G..whatever you say..fuckin stan
you kind of just further proved my point by the way..so thank you…have fun dick ridin’
All you bitches eat your mother fuckin heart out cuz it’s Drizzyyyy.
nah its aubrey…lmao
What you don’t want to be a Drake dickrider? OOOhhh I said dickrider, I’m one ill nigga!
Drake is good product, but I don’t fall into the target market. The album is okay, but falls short on any level feeling or depth in content.
drake had me hype about this album but he really dissapoints with this album.. way too poppy
drake is wack,,,,, a wayne wannabe
Free weezy!
Keep Wayne locked up
I got the album and I wanted a dope CD from Drake but I agree with the reviewer that it falls way below my expectations. It’s too bad cause I was pulling for the Canuck but the shit just isn’t that dope. No way this shit sells 2 million. You get a milli from hype and the rest better be from dropping some heat which really isn’t in the album. That shit with Jeezy is a banger but most of the CD is not good. I tried and tried and I just can’t feel it so I gave up and moved on to some new dope shit. Oh and another thing is that there is no way he sells over 2 mill with Recovery dropping one week after. It’s a lose/lose for Drake.
NO NO NO!! I HATE DRAKE! He hurts my feelings, my girl likes him over me, WAAAHHHHH!! I HATE WAYNE too! WHY do you like him EM, this is me…Stan.
Dear Stan, EAT A DICK YOU BIIITTTTCHHHHH! Cuz it’s DRIZZY
^^^^^^lmao this nigga is a fag
tm103 is gonna be dope>>>>>tml
drake is incredibly overrated
it pisses me off that this dude is hailed as the savior of hip hop, when he is just a rnb pop faggot who makes songs for the hoes
drake is the most watered down, generic, commercialized form of hiphop i have ever seen, and it baffles me why he is popular
his music sucks, i honestly do not know a single song of his i bump
So must really like him.
DRAKE IS JUST A PRODUCT OF MARKETING AND PROMOTION FROM A MAJOR LABEL YOU CAN TURN ANY ARTIST INTO A DRAKE WITH THE RIGHT LOOK AND SOUND.WHAT I DON’T GET IS IF HE CAN SING SOO GOOD WHY IS EVERY SONG AUTOTUNE ASSISTED. FACT IS HE CAN RAP BUT HIS STYLE IS JUST A BUNCH OF PUCHLINES WHICH DOSEN’T REALLY SHOW ANY STYLE THIS IS JUST A GENERIC WAY TO RAP, AND ALOT OF RAPPERS SING…. EMINEM, ANDRE 3000, T.I, KANYE WEST, B.O.B, ECT BUT DRAKE OR NONE OF THEM STARTED THIS TREND BOBBY BROWN, BBD, ABC.. RAPPED AND SANG LONG BEFORE ANY OF THESE CATS, DRAKE JUST HAD CONNECTIONS FROM BEING ON T.V AND PEOPLE FELT THEY COULD EXPOSE HIS POPULARITY AND MAKE SOME $$ HIS ALBUM IS NOT THE BEST OF THE YEAR BUT IS NOT THE WORST LIL WAYNE’S REBIRH WAS WAY WAY WACKER THAN THIS ALBUM. DRAKE IS JUST COOKIE CUTTER RAP HIS SONGS ARE JUST WHAT THE LABELS WANT TO SELL RECORDS. HE NEED TO LOSE THE AUTO TUNE TAKE SOME SINGING LESSONS AND COME WITH SOME MORE STYLE AND BETTER PUNCH LINES “LIKE A SPRAIN ANKLE I AIN’T NOTHIN’ TO PLAY WIT” WAS A HOT LINE BACK IN 89′ HE NEED TO STEP HIS BARS UP AND STOP SAYING PLAYED OUT LINES WE HEARD A MILLION TIMES. YES HE WILL SELL 800,000 BUT FEMALES LOVE DRAKE NOT REAL HIP HOP HEADS !!!!!!
Hip hop sites like these don’t look at the innovation when it comes to new hip hop artists like these. For example, when Kid Cudi came out he got a lol rating due to his “lack of depth” yet he expressed certain depressed emotions that we all feel at one point or another! Now, it’s Drake step to the plate and he does reach the heights of some imaginative hip hop legend of some magic MC from planet Pluto! Fact is, it’s different, it’s melodical, it’s what we can relate too & most of all it’s relevant! There’s a reason for all these comments & expectations! Due to people arent used to what’s different! Drake, I applaud the effort and can appreciate the inovation! I would have gave 4&1/2 Initially but for the haters had to push it forward.
Respect.
except cudis album was a creative cohesive album with consistengly good songs
whereas this is just a mess of guest features, mediocre raps, inconsistent beats and singing
Really?
You talk about innovation and then bring Drake up?
Lol it amuses me that it’s people like you, who don’t know shit, that are always the loudest in the room.
You want innovation:
Eyedea, POS, El-P, Aesop Rock, Kool Keith, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Mac Lethal, Madlib…..It’d be easier if I list the labels, actually.
Rhymesayers, Duck Down, QN5, Stones Throw, Babygrande, Black Clover
^ Listen to them and then try telling me Drake is “innovative”
It was fun arguing with you guys but it’s Friday bitches! Time to roll out and Drake goes in the wip! Peace out!
It’s Me a.k.a. Slim Roethlisburger
Cash Money/Young Money is ruining this guy’s career. He is on the wrong label. Either that or Drake ran out of lyrics after one year lol. Which is possible. This album is disappointing.
nah he had 2 mixtapes before he got with YM so i doubt it
Young Money has given him a lot of exposure and marketing and a big fanbase similar to waynes its his own fault he cant make a good album
i agree he probably has run out of most of his lyrics by now
You on point dawg, The Cash Money signing was his downfall
if only he never lost that blackberry(if you catch my reference)
lmao look at this nigga drakes face da nigga looks like a retarded dog. with eyes spread apart like wayneS ass in jail right now….POW fuck this little canadian actor drake smh child stars rapping now whats next rudy from the cosby show is gonna drop a rap album…GET THA FUCK OUTTA HERE
i commend dx for showing some balls and rating this fag niggas album for what it is.
a child actor playing the role of a rapper.
caught in between being a weak singer and wack rapper.
this faggot cant spit a 16 without plug ins.
this faggot cant deliver a hook without plug ins.
cant sing live.
no depth.
no presence.
no versatility.
no originality.
wack nigga.
one and done.
son is FLOPPING hard, critical flop, and the registers about to son this nigga back to nick at nite.
hell be ok, hes a trust fund baby, he doesnt need rap to eat. he needs to stop suckin the life out of the culture and do what he does best, and front for the camera. leave music alone you fuckin fraudulent bum.
No versatility yet he sings and raps.
No originality but name one other rapper who sings and raps
And i cant see how you think this is gonna flop. Numbers wise when you can sell 500k off of a seven track disc when the original with 16 songs was and still is free.
I laugh at dudes that talk about niggas that grew up with money like they dont deserve knowin theyd switch places with that person in a heartbeat just because their situation is better.
Now you are entitled to your opinion but the way youre speaking is as if you can do better. And if you can I would gladly like to see your songs on youtube
@C. Stewart
I bet you’re one of those scrubs who rates the merit of an album by how many units it moves. And he’s not good at singing or rapping. Only thing he’s good for is making shitty T.V. shows.
Hey C. Stewart,
Rappers who also sing & rap, & are better than Drake:
B.O.B (also a scrub)
Pigeon John
Devin the Dude
Kid Cudi
Kanye West
k-os
i could keep going but u wouldnt pay me for this education
Get learned, fool!
@ C. Stewart
There are tons of rappers who sing and rap.
Singing does not mean that you are versatile.
Selling units has nothing to do with skill as a rapper.
what exactliy is’rap’ culture .ur full of shit im sorry i mean who care how well he wa sraised we need more of the then ignorant “gangsta” rappers killing the image of todays youth ……rap is a lifestyle not preserved for the streets
This is for this C Stewart fella who had the nerve to jump on here and talk about naming a rapper who can sing and rap. Number one, that synthesized bullshit drake does isn’t singing, OK, so save it. but since you wanted the names of a few artists who can sing and rap, I will give you a few:
Phonte(from Little Brother)
Cee-Lo
Lauryn Hill
Aloe Blacc
Andre 3000
Tiye Phoenix
Queen Latifah
All of them can do both, and all are 10x’s better than Drake, period. This has nothing to do with whether or not dude grew up with money. This has nothing to do with whether or not he was an actor growing up. This has everything to do with the Drake’s talent and the product that he has put out, period. I don’t care how many albums the kid shipped out or is gonna sell or whatever, bottom line is quality wise, kid needs some work. Anyone can sell with millions of marketing dollars placed behind their product! William Hung(the Asian ‘She Bangs’ kid off American Idle) put a record out and it did numbers. Do you think that was because of his talent? Vanilla Ice sold MILLIONS, do you think that had anything to do with his talent? Sales does not equal talent, and talent does not equal Drake right now. Let’s just hope he does better next time.
pimp c rapping >>>>> drake rapping
pimp c singing >>>>> drake singing
no autotune, no crutch, plus he was original.
niggas is faggots, drake the first to blend the 2? you exposing your age and lack of knowledge there she male.
any 2 songs off andre 3000 the love below >>> this pathetic frisbee titled thank me later
nigga sucks.
i dont hate him for being pussy foot tv star, i hate him for being a cultureless, swagaless, talentless, hack, whos been given the world on a platter and still fails to deliver.
bum ass nigga with half fag fans.
his music is geared towards females, any male jocking drake is suspect in my opinion.
and elton john makes more aggressive music, if i wanna fuck a bitch to some music, im not pullin out the drake records.
this is hip hop, drake just released pop trash that sounds like garbage from the year 3000.
Despite the repetitive material, I have to say this album is quite solid.
Half of yall didnt even start listenin to rap until Eminem came out…and now yall are some harsh critics. Hip hop sucked waaaaay before anyone knew who Drake was. Don’t put hip-hop’s downfall on him, he’s just tryna get his money. If hip-hop sucks then fuckin FIX IT. If you spent half the time you spend hatin, supporting good artists, hip hop would be in a better place. Haters are lazy.
Hip Hop really does’t suck if you listen to the right shit.
The CD is nice some of you guys just don’t know good music. Em did his thing on recovery. Em #1 Nas & Dam #2 Drake #3 so far this year.
Shad #1 PackFM #2 Homeboy Sandman #3 Canibus #4 you dont know music faggot
^^^^ so the guys doesnnt know music becaus ehis list is diffren then urs?/ stopp being a bitch and man up he disagrees with you
This album was the best Album i Heard since The Carter III & Graduation! HIP HOP DX WHAT IS YOUR REVIEW BASED ON? I CAN AGREE THIS ALBUM WAS NOT A CLASSIC BUT IT WAS A GREAT ALBUM I LISTENED TO IT 10X AND IM STILL CANT WAIT TIL IT DROPS…FIREWORKS, UNFORGETTABLE, LIGHT UP, FANCY SHOW ME A GOOD TIME..DID U NOT HEAR ANY OF THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM… WOW HIP HOP DX AND SOHH.COM IS FULL OF DRIZZY HATERZ
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA…..Get off his dick and stop listening to Kanye and Wayne
Kanye is real hip hop. wayne is destroying it
lmao nice dx finally gave a pretty honest/decent review…fukin terrible album drake u snitch bitch
J. Cole > Drake. Lyrics over bullshit.
ehh
Dont listen to this shit….Youll Thank Me Later
Oh hahaha, i like what you did there
Did you? I got a chuckle out of it.
dope album fuck the haterz t.dot stand up
You really gotta take the album for wut it is, Drake said there would be singing and rappin through out the album, so wut can u expect, ive only heard the album twice, and its a different kind of album, i think over time people will appreciate it. Remember regardless of Drakes status financially in the game, he stays in his lane you will never hear him rap about husslin, killing, or any kind of gangsta rap, for that i have soo much respect for him as an artist he’s in his own league and right now i don’t think anyone can be mentioned in the same breath as him, i aint saying he is 1 of the best but REMEMBER what rapper has got a big of a buzz as he has right now off a mixtape???? thats unheard of these days u aint gotta like the dude but u gotta respect him, he has his own sound and style which makes him stand out from everyone else, and for that i thank him now for what he’s done for the game.
EXACTLY over time people will appreciate it..hence the name ‘THANK ME LATER’…yall gonna criticize it…hate on it…but its gonna do numbers. be all over the tv and radio and internet and he will be bigger than life…
Dope album…..Great Story…..Great Music…..If you don’t like it you probably don’t see that Drake is a singer/rapper and is expanding hip hop walls, hip hop should be more than just rhyming words…..Keep doing you Drizzy……JAYRU Stand up, your time is near!!
ay stupid theirs already a genre with singing its called rnb ,so youre trying to turn hiphop into rnb….gtfoh u faggot pop fans piss me off stop tryin to make hiphop be some gay fruity pop shit
Droopy Drakes ur a fag…you prolly listen to some wack shyt. Hip hop will never be as good as it used to be thats why its time for a change you queer
wowwww Vasquez 2.5 stars?!? there is no way to justify that, you must have some unspoken grudge against drake…i have listened to the entire album several times and it is a good album!! there is no way you can seriously give it 2.5 stars it has quality beats, quality lyrics, good production, features, and a variety of music all with some good honest fun…just cuz drake isn’t talkin about wavin his gun and killin niggas doesnt mean its a bad album…smh
you’re correct. it absolutely does not mean that it’s a bad album.
talking about guns and killing is cliche and boring.
however, this album is just not that good. it’s a shallow, commercial cash-grab where Drake doesn’t take any risks and stays 100% average. 2.5/5 is a 100% average score.
When I read the ratings/reviews on this site they are usually on point but sorry giving Drake a 2 1/2 out of 5 Stars give me a break. No the ALBUM IS NOT A CLASSIC but it’s still a pretty good cd. Yes I like Drakes “So Far Gone mixtape” better but the album still has it’s good and it’s bad moments. I wish he did more tracks spitting dope lyrics instead of wasting a few tracks by singing over the beats. But whatever it’s his project he can express himself how he wants. Some of you cats are just HATING on this Man because he’s doin his thing and if you could you’d trade spots with him in a min. At the end of the day I’d give the ALBUM at least 3 1/2 out of 5 for real. Go listen to the damn ALBUM yourself before commenting on here just sounding all ignorant. I still give Drake his props cause he’s doin a pretty good job reppin for the T-Dot (Toronto Canada) for those that don’t know. And besides Him the other new Cats I give props too are Kid Cudi, Wale, The Cool Kids, Wiz Khalifa, Lupe and J Cole all them dudes are nice on the Mic. Peace + Respect to all the real Hip Hop Headz around the World that know what time it is. Yes the 80’s – 90’s was the best Era in Hip Hop but the cats I just named are doin a pretty good job still. I’m out
i heard it too. i totally agree with this reviewer one hundred percent.the album is not that good.first of, the album starts off molasses slow.second,the rhymes were just ok.when u heard illmatic,reasonable doubt,and ready to die,the lyrics just oozed innovation.this cd?it’s just average.let me tell u what he talks about through the whole cd:women,money and haters.that’s the album.the best cuts on the cd is fireworks,light it up i guess,miss me and find your love.the rest was just aight.all hype.but u know what. i give him the second cd to do it better
Way to keep it real HHDX!!!!!!!. This album does not knock. It’s this simple. people who grew up on Biggie, pac, jay, nas, young eminem, mobb deep, the lox, mase, wu-tang, Big L, rakim, dmx, reflection eternal, so on, music that was dope, can see through this. only young high school or newbie college kids feel this is poppin because the don’t understand what hip hop appeal truly is. Drake is a Pop rapper,like (Travie Mccoy), period. he caters to females and mainstream.,Em said it best on his joint, women dont listen to lyircs, females want to feel sexy and shit, and you speaking to that women gon love you, but I do give Drake his thumb up because he understand they the ones buying the albums. Ja Rule is a perfect example, catered to females and the singing and so on, but they ate rule up for doin that, Drake, unfortunately is a more lyrical Ja Rule an better singer, so he can get over with the females til the dissin start, then females aint gon fuck with him no more, because he gon start lookin weak, Lil Kim already bout to go in check SOHH.com on that, so unless Weezy get out of Jail and back this boy, Drake gon be a wrap. I think he would have ben better signing to another label myself, so he wouldnt have to feel the pressure of appealing to one crowd. Drake gon do a 180, fully put out a full pop album next year. I guarantee. Cause he not gettin no love out of the Hip hop community.
pass the brew.
Ive listened and enjoyed al those rappers u enlsited and to say ppl dont know what appeal is because u dont like it is ignorant…………… he’s a positiv eyougn rapper who doesnt push tht whole gangsta rap image whihc is finally a bretaeh of fresh air becaus eim trid of all the ahrd shit and conscious shit he’s somethign new
Horrible
suck a fat one dx.. awfulllll album review
The Consensus:
DRAKE IS ONE CHEEKY BASTARD
I’ll cop it. I do enjoy his wordplay. Some of the beats I’m not really feeling.
I figured this’d be a polarizing album. Let me preface my thoughts: I went to my buddy’s place. He said he had the new Em & Drake. He always says he’s got the newness but ends up havin’ some ol’ played out mixtape. Burnt both albums. Listened to to “the new” Em album…turned out same ol’…was a mixtape [how do you not know that?]. Anyways, after I through that in the trash, popped in Drake — low expectations — listened ’til 2am. For me, being the biggest Drake skeptic, I wasn’t a fan of the flow of how he had US slang but he was from T.O. [I hate TO]. What gets me on this album though is: A) He’s positive? Don’t we need that? No hate…no guns…no overwhelming mysoginy? Good, right? B) THE BEATS!!? “40” & Boi1da [& Kanye]shine on this one. They made strong beats…created a very cohesive & listenable [right?] piece of work…not easy, or at least rarely done, these days. Further, I don’t cringe [read: Eminem] when he sings. The song w/Dream was vomit-inducing on paper. Instead, reminded me of an ol’ Outkast funk midway relaxer. Another thing: Put a female down-south female rapper on your song…usually ends up trash…not on this one.
Listen, I can understand the hate for this album. However, he did what Kanye [Kanye!?] couldn’t do: Make an ‘808s & Heartbreak’-type album that sounds good. The song w/Jay is classic. Hands down. I will say this though: Jay Eminem’s Drake on that one. But overall, you gotta give it to the kid: He’s got the summer album we’ve been missing for a long time. The beats are not overdone [Swizz wins the tournament on this one] and, after all, this is what making an album’s all about: He carries the whole damn album.
I wanted to hate but I can’t: This album’s tight. My opinion. Your welcome to yours…
DRAKE IS JUST A PRODUCT OF MARKETING AND PROMOTION FROM A MAJOR LABEL YOU CAN TURN ANY ARTIST INTO A DRAKE WITH THE RIGHT LOOK AND SOUND.WHAT I DON’T GET IS IF HE CAN SING SOO GOOD WHY IS EVERY SONG AUTOTUNE ASSISTED. FACT IS HE CAN RAP BUT HIS STYLE IS JUST A BUNCH OF PUCHLINES WHICH DOSEN’T REALLY SHOW ANY STYLE THIS IS JUST A GENERIC WAY TO RAP, AND ALOT OF RAPPERS SING…. EMINEM, ANDRE 3000, T.I, KANYE WEST, B.O.B, ECT BUT DRAKE OR NONE OF THEM STARTED THIS TREND BOBBY BROWN, BBD, ABC.. RAPPED, DANCED AND SANG LONG BEFORE ANY OF THESE CATS, DRAKE JUST HAD CONNECTIONS FROM BEING ON T.V AND PEOPLE FELT THEY COULD EXPOSE HIS POPULARITY AND MAKE SOME $$ HIS ALBUM IS NOT THE BEST OF THE YEAR BUT IS NOT THE WORST LIL WAYNE’S REBIRH WAS WAY WAY WACKER THAN THIS ALBUM. DRAKE IS JUST COOKIE CUTTER RAP HIS SONGS ARE JUST WHAT THE LABELS WANT TO SELL RECORDS. HE NEED TO LOSE THE AUTO TUNE TAKE SOME SINGING LESSONS AND COME WITH SOME MORE STYLE AND BETTER PUNCH LINES “LIKE A SPRAIN ANKLE I AIN’T NOTHIN’ TO PLAY WIT” WAS A HOT LINE BACK IN 89′ HE NEED TO STEP HIS BARS UP AND STOP SAYING PLAYED OUT LINES WE HEARD A MILLION TIMES. YES HE WILL SELL 800,000 BUT FEMALES LOVE DRAKE NOT REAL HIP HOP HEADS !!!!!!
This is one of the realest artists to come out. He may feed into the machine somewhat but his artistry is so original.
While DX is more garnerd for hip-hop heads i dis agre very good album beats r sick lyrics were good in my opinion some of the best tracks of the year…………..(Fireworks, Miss Me, Unforgetable, Light Up) havent heard the rest but those track alone are amazing ,………DX shud neve rhave done a review this is more of a Old school lyrical site
Stop buying the artists that don’t care about this genre of music that we love. Don’t support people that don’t care about the art of this culture. Get that Reflection Eternal album and the NaS and Damian Marley “Distant Relatives” instead. The new Eminem and Roots come out on the 22nd too. PEACE & LOVE!
Drake Raped Critically?
A Beautiful Day For Real Hip Hop
Co sign…..GUCCI
DRAKE IS TAKING A CRITICAL BEATING…..
whose this clown pretending to be gucci….
be ashamed of urself faggot, who the fucks listens to songs like ‘lemonade’!!
Props to DX for giving this unlyrical cornball an honest review. Guy is trying to sell hip-hop to hotel lobbies and supermarkets, making records for the Twilight set. Doesn’t even flow well.
But come on really he shouldn’t be getting more than a 2 with that review.
This nigga drake sound like whoopi goldberg
whoopi>>>drake cuz she got real swag…….GUCCI
DX with the truth, album is pretty ass.
im not a drake fan but i liked this album ; i dont know what this guy was smokin
I’m almost 40 yrs old and been listening to Hip-hop for at least 25 of those years. From Rappers Delight, Run DMC, Public Enemy, NWA, Big, 2Pac to Lupe, Tribe Called Quest, Aceyalone, Black Eyed Peas (when they were nobody), Fugees and all the rest.
I’m telling you, do not pass up Drake or Eminem’s new albums. Each artist did an incredible job of pushing the genre forward while maintaining their own styles.
Drake has created a perfect blend of hip-hop and r&b rhythm that manages to be authentic and not a gimmick. The album is not perfect but not too many albums are with the exception of Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back” and Nas “Illmatic”. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is, Drake has really created a lane for himself that gives hip-hop a new dimension that you may need to let marinate before you can see/hear what he’s done. The song Unforgettable with Jeezy and Light Up with Jay Z are fantastic work, you must recognize this along with his work with T.I. and Kanye, both brilliant and inspirational.
What Eminem has done is probably even more impressive just on the difficulty of reinventing yourself in the eyes of millions of hardened fans. He’s done it and convincingly so, but again outside of blind allegiance to him, a fan may need to let it marinate before they truly understand how much of an artistic leap he’s made with the Recovery. It’s not perfect work as it would of helped that he switched up his cadence on some of the slower tracks but the emotional core is solid through out. I would go so far as to say Eminem like Drake has created a new lane for himself in that this may be the first perfect blend of folk/rock/hip-hop album.
Tracks like Space Bound, Almost Famous, and the heart felt You’re Never Over (probably the best song he’s ever made) are masterful works and they are nothing like he’s ever done before sonically or emotionally. Not just a recovery but major surgery.
Both artist deserve your attention and praise in my opinion and I truly believe HipHopDx has severely missed the point. Thank you.
P.S. On a linear note Jay Z’s “Kingdom Come” album deserves another listen. A superior work to BP3 and another highly underrated effort by the master MC.
dude you listen to garbage
Well stated – HipHopDX worships trash…
did you knock your head?
lol at this fool writing a essay. shut the fuckk up white boy the album is what it is garbage! lol nothin like this has been done before? Recovery (great album) is nothin new and TLR is basically R&B album ive heard the same sounds everywhere.
If you wan’t something new Distant Relatives is how you make a new sound! check your ears.
Distant relative is definitively a good-ass album, very deep and i really liked the concept but there is no song out of this album that you can bump in a club or a party, or even when you’re gettin’ freaky with yo baby momma. It’s the same problem with Reflection eternal. Don’t get me wrong i ain’t sayin’ that talib or Nas are trash but their music lack something and that’s reason they’re not multiplatinum today. what i like about Drake is the fact that he can make party songz and slowjam without soundin’ stupid or vulgar and at the same time make solid rap songz without spittin’ the same ol’ lines about guns, drugs, gangs and all the shit that almost killed hiphop. and if i had to choose beetween gucci mane or Drizzy i’ll definitively pick drrizy.
MYLIE I’m not white please grow up and expand your mind beyond stereotypes. What? A black man can’t speak with complete sentences?
there was so much hype for this album. And im not a drake hater, i followed him since he’s been comin up. this album is average. There is not one song that stands out. He keeps the same flow on 50% of the songs. the concepts have been done time and time again. No creativity, the punchlines fall short and the features dont help to even push this album to a 3. This is just a bad debut for drake. Hopefully next album he can come harder, but this just had no substance whatsoever. June 22nd, Recovery. Album beats the shit out of anything that has dropped in the past 5 years
Distant Relatives
givin this a 5 because this deserves more than a 3..
I liked two songs and they both sort of sounded tha same except for they had different collabs; Fireworks and Lightup. This was supposed to leave some kind of impression but it was forgettable. Glad I didnt buy it.
It sounds like crying and naggin what he does , For shure the guy got talent . But more 4 the ladies I guess. Still are some ok tracks on the album , maybe 3.
And I did’nt expect a M.O.P album from this guy but damn dude … be a man and grow the fuck up
0/5 DRAKE IS NOT HIP-HOP…HE IS CHEESEWIZ RAP AND A REAL BITCH FOR A MALE……THIS IS HOT GARBOGEE
WE THANKED YOU FOR PUTTING OUT A WACK ALBUM SO PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO GOOD HIP-HOP MUSIC CAN FUCKIN BASH THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR GAY, CORNY, CHEESY, JONAS BROTHERS/JUSTIN BIEBER LIKE STYLE AND YOUR GARBAGE ASS ALBUM….
THANK YOU LATER, NO I WILL THANK YOU NOW FOR PINPOINTING WHAT GARBAGE, RECYCABLE RAP IS…THANK YOU DRAKE YOU FUCKIN DOUCHEBAG…BOY I’D LOVE TO SLAP THIS KID TO THE FLOOR, HE THINKS HE IS COCKY, HE AINT ZILCH TO ME, MORE LAUGHABLE IN ALL HONESTY LOL….THANK YOU DRAKE!
why the fuck did you waste your time watching the video and posting a comment? get a fuckin life homey
lol at the comment below me, drake a bitch freal
someone give this guy a 5…I feel bad for this fuckin weak kid
looooooool…..word to the jew
someone give this guy a 5…I feel bad for this fuckin weak kid
someone give this guy a 5…I feel bad for this fuckin weak kid
someone give this guy a 5…I feel bad for this fuckin weak kid
typical hhdx gay ass review…album ain’t no classic but it’s great for the summer
With all due respect, I feel like everybody is hating because everyone expected something huge from a newcomer. Drake is not that seasoned and yes he’s cocky but it’s hard for me to think of anyone in the game who isn’t.
Compared to hip-hop greats, this might fall a bit short. Compared to other artists’ recent albums and material, I can’t consider this “garbage”. Give him a chance
theres a reason why you dont compare pros to college cats, they are not even close to being on the same level. same thing with drake, he doesnt get a pass for being average when being compared to garbage. there is absolutely no reason to lower the standards of music just because it’s littered with awful artists more than ever before. if the nba draft isnt very strong in the next couple of years, it doesnt mean the nba will lower the rim to 9 feet! lets just be real about the situation, drake got back what he put it, thats all.
Compared to hip-hop greats, this might fall a bit short. a bit lol why you give it 4 x`s then?
college? drake is still in high school when it comes to the likes of nas eminem and jay z
the review is true to its words real hip hop is coming from j cole b o b asher roth and others not this auto tune dude i agree hiphopmexi !!!!
I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is ___ B l a c k W h i t e C u p i d * C o m ___ All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!
Damn I wasn’t expecting the review to be that bad 😮 I’m still going to check the album out.
This is an accurate review
this mufukka needs to stop dick-riding Canada.
when the fuck will he stop name-dropping that shit-hole of a country
he’s like the Game from canada ===> pussyhole!
thats funny you callin Canada a shit-hole…. assuming your from the states look at your economy sucka we just had our best quarter GDP growth since a decade ‘n have fun goin to war with iran cuz we out… and the review said Drake doesn’t talk on a personal level… duhh wtf is he gonna talk about… long hard days on the set of Degrassi High hahaha
I don’t care if he is from canada, if he was an actor, if he is signed to CM/YM or whatever label, if he sings or raps, if he is white or black…
This album sucks period. From someone who had amazing songs from his mixtapes and then drops an album like this one it’s too bad to be true.
I really wanted….I cant even write about this….Best Ever? Eat a dick…….
Too Much Hype Over Nothin.
Really HipHopDX? Really? You gave Eminem’s Relapse a 3.5/5 and this a 2.5. You’re telling me that Relapse is better than Thank Me Later? The worst of all Eminem albums? I’m no stan of either artist both have put out great music in the past but there is no way in hell that Relapse is better than Thank Me Later. Relapse was fucking terrible. HipHopDX you guys have just lost all credibility as far as reviews go. I will never read another review on this website. I will still come here for updates and new music…(even though Nah Right is faster than you slugs). Pitchfork.com > HipHopDX.com
Pitchfork is done by a racist reviewer.
Hip Hop Dix has realistic reviews.
man relapse wasnt a good EM album but its was better than anythin else cause Em has his own level… Beautiful is better than unforgetable+light up multiplied by all the chicks that will buy TML…
co-sign
Oh and LOL at the people rating this 1 stars for no reason. Hating on Drake consistently but those are the same people who read articles about him everyday. LOL people on the internet are funny I tell you. Thank Me Later still gonna do numbers lol.
who gives a fukk about how much he sells. the album didn’t live up to the hype and even his own fans are saying it.
this was actually a pretty dope album. deff not 5 star worthy but im just trying to even out the ratings bc it mos def (ha! hiphop humor) isnt 1 star
Sorry but you talk a big game drake. Best album of the summer? Realy? IDFTS.

C/S
This album deserves at least one star more…. Pretty ridiculous review imo.
This shit is terrible. I couldn’t even make it thru the previews. Auto-tuning, same flowing, name dropping douche bag has nothing going on here except the fact he’s been so over-hyped due to this candy-ass mixtape that a bunch of fools went to Target to purchase. This clown is not hip hop. GTFO. Fashawn, J Cole and so many other youngsters put this fool to shame.
Album gon do numbers because of the hype surroundig him but this is disappointing. Compared to the mixtape this album is trash but there are at least 4 or 5 good tracks. This aint hating jus stating facts, compare this to the debut of Nas, Jay-z, outkast, BIG, or any other legend and this is a 1 but since i never thought he was as good as advertised i give this album a 3.
yup totally agree, it’s all about his enourage with Lil’ Wayne and others, but tbh he ain’t that bad, he is decent….
Exactly! I feel like there really are no bad songs, its just everything is so average. Its easy to listen to tho, jus nothing special. With the hype and self crowning, he put it on himself to do something groundbreaking. Dissapointing
really? 2.5? lets just be fair..That has to be worst review i’ve seen in a minute..I dont even like him like that but i heard the album, its nice. Where yall goin wrong is comparin him to jay z and other legends. and for yall sayin the mixtape was so good and album is garbage, be serious. Its to say a mixtape is good because its a mixtape, theres no pressure or expectations or predictions with a mixtape so its harder to criticize. But when yall ride his dick for a year like he’s god of course he aint gonna live up to the hype.Hype isnt even the word. He almost went gold with a mixtape that already been out for like 5 months. Got a world wide tour (alot seasoned mc’s still dont got that) and a co-sign from jay z…Cassidy had hype..kudi had hype…drake didnt even have a chance to make an album to the expectations that are gonna hold him to.
get a fuck out of here with dat shit nigga, a 5 damn u ridin his dick like a hoe from vegas.
honestly how come gucci mane gets a 3.5 and drake a 2.5 only.
cuz gucci is more of an entertainer then this boring ass,same material usin ass corny wheelchair wannnabe buyin verses ass rich boy
if he’s such a good actor/rapper whyd he half to “tear an acl” to take rapper acting classes before he could perform again
he may have catchy shit flying around at first ear,but once you listen to uhhh once thats all it is catchy
album blows dick cheesy ass rapper killin the hip hop we love.
one more thing…yall get on him for appealing to females…well take away guns, crack, murder, jail, tattoos, grillz, and rediculous chains..and what else do you honestly have…Yes he’s not a typical rapper, he made his own lane just like i wouldnt compare black eyed peas to some of the greats…even tho there record sales and reviews are through the roof…and they were at one point considered a rap group…but they made their own lane…i dont like hearing about murder death kill and drug selling everytime i turn on my stereo…this is an album i can play on the way to the club or around the house or while playing video games…HES A NORMAL GUY WHO DOES NORMAL THINGS SO HE MAKES MUSIC FOR REGULAR PEOPLE WHO DO REGULAR THINGS….he doesnt wake up snort a line murder somebody and have a 4 sum with random chicks….hes a guy that makes good music for the rest of us hip hop fans who dont wanna hear about murder and jewerly…i say thats smart…because 95% of people that have money to buy a cd are NORMAL PEOPLE not GANGBANGING CRACKSELLING BIG GRILL WEARING muhhfukkass…give him a break…its like yall were waiting on a chance to hate…THIS IS A HORRIBLE REVIEW AND EXTREMELY BIAS…there is no way tha album is that bad….but this is more of a hardcore, old skoo, super punchlines, smack you in the face website..i say its time to change..yall always bring up nas and jay basically the 80s and 90s…that was 20-30 years ago…shit drake was still in diapers or elemetary school during that era…not saying hes not familiar but i think 30 years is long time ago…its not fair to compare….i finally think that its time to move on with hiphop…its ok my fellow hip hop heads its time to get out of the 80s and 90s and let our music go through its changes and progressions…like when hip hop changed for the first time we did it with pac and biggie…we left if there hands…then hip hop got flashier and bigger…so then we left hiphop in the hands of ppl like jayz and nas….then we started leaning towards lil wayne and t.i. 50 cent eminem kanye and let them handle it…now once again hip hop is trying to grow again, it wants to grow, its changing again, i think this is one of the men who can handle tha job of once again progressing and changing hip hop, him kid cudi, j cole, wale, lupe…its a hand full of young carasmatic intelligent artist but he is the one whos shining right now….just like biggie and pac and snoop owned an era, just like jay z and nas owned an era, just like lil wayne and 50 cent and eminem and kanye owned an era, drake, kudi, wale, lupe, j cole are some candidates to own this era….hip hop has always been crititcal anywayz tho
I feel where your coming from but the reviewer has some positive points he’s not saying its not a bad album but just saying for him to name his album thanks me later for what what has he done hes to cocky n nothing to back it up but an album full of witty punchlines n a shit load of appearances even if u not the most lyrical give us a concept something ya first album spose to let people know what u about n what u really bringing to the game n if this is what he’s bringing den he will continue to get reviews like this
Get this dumb ass comment off this site, Nas and Jay Z didn’t drop anything in the 80’s rookie. Degrassi High Drake’s name can’t even be spoke in the same breath as Marshall, Nasir, Jay or anybody else this dude named. Drake will be gone by summers end and Recovery will still be getting played for over a year, do the homework, Nas, Em and Jay still own this era and those boys are 35+, Drakes for the kids and middle class white girls or NOT true rap veterans.
album is nice
Honestly a 4 but i give it a 5 because the reviewer ain’t fair at all
he gonna sale 2 million easy

i wasn’t gonna comment on a drake review but i downloaded the album and the shit is so so. i’m not a drake fan like that. i more into the hardcore shit but i still appreciate softer, more postive music. that being said i like to compare drake to kanye west in the sense that even tho kanye’s a soft cry baby he’s a great artist with a lot of substance in his music. i thought drake was going the same route. kanye tho- i think caters to a general audience as in not thugs and not all bitches, drake on the other hand seems to only cater to women. and he doesn’t even do it that well cuz every now and then he’ll fall back, try to relate to the dudes by justifying why his music is geared so much for the ladies or even try to put on some playa act (can you see drake on the strip pimpin? – i didn’t think so)like that’s was hot.
to me drake is a half-ass rapper to soft to appeal to the dudes. he uses that female shit as a crutch for his career, for his own relevancy. kanye has jewels, kanye has real shit about life in his music, that even the grimiest thug nigga would relate to. drake is just a fad. it’s unforunate cuz jay spoke on dude “drake’s up next, see what he do with it”, i think unless he expands his subject matter from women and that “i’m doin me” bullshit (cuz let’s be real it’s good to do you but come on, YOU lame drake, he a dweeb jus like wayne) he’s not gonna have a very long career.
shout out to kanye start rappin again nigga
oh and while yall was gettin all wet waitin on drake, j cole’s the one who i really want to see what he has up his sleeves
yes j.cole is definitely the nigga im waiting on
Aye the fucked up part about all this no body liked Reasonable Doubt when it came out but when I got my hands on it 6 years later when I was 12 I been riding to it every since yall didn’t show jay the love he deserved when he dropped that gem so why wouldnt you show drake any love
I’m not saying drake is JAY-Z but he is a breath of fresh air who will have staying power and maybe six years after this dropped some other 12 year old is gone cop it and be like me
shut the fuck up everybody knew jay’s album was dope….drake stan
Horrible
its an r&B album. if it was straight hip hop then we could be harsh but taking the album for what it is i thought it was ok
the album sucked i was expecting “Get rich or die tryin” or “Tha Carter 3” or even “The Blueprint 1 or 3” from this nigga and all i got was wack beats and his girly singing.. i knew drakes buzz was temporary
Hold up dude, are U serious? No wonder there is so many stupid comments on this site, yawl must be between 13 and 20 yrs old. Drake and 50 Cent are not even the same genre of music! The only thing they have in common is making words rhyme.
REVEIWKILLER there not in the same genre of music? Drakes in hip hop/R&B just like 50 Cent they both sing and rap but are useless at it.
Whew… I thought it was just me….
No… It was just him.
the only reason he has caught so much hype and backing is because he’s sticking exactly to the demographics that mainstream companys want to transform the music into,ive never seen an RnB artist like this be endorsed and signed by everyone with a bullshitty ass mixtape and have it labeled as rap.
worst artist,i guess you can buy your way to stardom,moneys only the root of all evil when fags like this use it to fit into what they should never be a part of
to all you fans who love drake and withouta doubt know and feel he can hold his own without the help of anyone else,vote for him to enter the redbull rap battle and let him tear everyone a knew one
this fool played a fucking crippled wheelchair douche on a show all about growing up with social issues and the right choices to make,he’s hired to come into the game and say hes a rapper,put out some pop cheesy same subject material shit and get away as being a rapper? quit recycling others verses like dead prez and using ol lil wayne mixtape verses for radio hits,it only allows the record execs to say,well this douche drake is a rapper and he auto tuned his way to a million oblivious young pop fans who dont know the difference between rap and rnb.so chamillionaire,eminem,kanye,any of your other favorite artists feel free to add here…. the only way your album is getting to be put out is if its more fag shit like this…oh and young money cash money you can do whatever and say whatever you want,fuck those fags who killed static major after his first huge hit
curren$y you better do something to save us,but youll probably get fucked too or sellout for your chance at stardom
I just feel the God did not rep himself well. He really did not leave an imprint on ppl about who he is. Like everyone else said look at Nas, Jay, DMX, Biggie, 50 Cent, Eminem, all the greats that have carried Hip Hop. There first album showed ppl and Hip Hop who they are. They related to a particular culture man. Drake on his album does adhere to the females and his lyrics are not moving man. Look at Nas when he had Lifes a Bitch and then you die or Memory Lane or Halftime. Look at DMX wihen he came with Get at me Dog, Look at Jay when he came with the Evils or Cant knock the hustle. They grabbed a culture feel me. They did it through real life experiences man and ppl in the world was like damn X is like me or Nas is like me or Jay went through the same shit I went through. Lets be honest are we going to be able to put this CD in the CD player 10 years from now like the artist that I named with their first joint and it bangs like you just opened the wrapper. I really don’t think so man. Your first album is supposed to be your coming out party and your movement. I think he came in under an imprint or in the shadow of Wayne and Wayne did the same thing with coming in under the shadow of Juve and BG and Turk (Hotboys). Look at the greats they came in not in a group or affiliated with no other artist. Boom here I am and absorb it. Real Talk.
How in the world is Drake not repping himself? He’s not Nas or DMX or Jay Z. AND they are not him. There are LARGER parts of society that live like Drake dude and not some ghetto fabulous action movie. Peace to Nas, Jay, DMX. Out.
All this hate with very little substance to why they hate is validation for Drake being different.
No one on this site who does not like this CD has presented any valid points to why, including the reviewer. These are not reasons:
1.He sings too much (That’s no accident, hello he’s a singer)
2. He’s soft (Only a person who fantasizes about be a gangster would say this. Real gangsters don’t speak on real shit. And he’s no gangster thank god.)
3. He acts (there are plenty of “actors” that’ll beat the shit out of a whole lot of rappers. AND there are actors who come from the same streets as rappers. What’s your point?)
4. Too much undeserved hype (that’s yawls fault not his. If young money got so many people to anticipate him then that’s what I call good business)
5. It’s not Illmatic or GRODT (? That’s just fucking stupid to even say to begin with)
The only valid criticism I’ve heard and somewhat agree with is his flow can become a little monotonous. But I can say the same thing about Game and a ton of underground MCs that flow forever but have no structure to keep you from dozing off. Drake can improve but I don’t care what yawl say the boy came well equipped on Thank Me Later.
If you don’t like it, I’d rather you just say so instead of throwing up racial stereotypes of what a rapper should be and other juvenile comments like “dickriding”.
nice one
they have been planety of reasons why people don’t like this album
for me its shallow and boring. no substance all his talks about is fame, my girl left me and money. not a storytelling track or nothing. nothing creative. Jay-Z bye far has the best verse on the album. theres no stand out songs. he never switches up his flow either.
he didn’t deliver and you know it.
and who ever said this was gonna be on the level of illmatic?? stop making shit up
i can give a damn about ur reasons 1-5…he lyrics lack substance. I mean if you only care about if he made things rhyme then good for you, he is is only getting props cus we are tired of the gucci’s nad soulja boys in the industry right now, but just because he is better than others, it DOES NOT make him good.
when he is rapping ask yourself do you really contemplate about his lyrics? does it make it you go Damn!? he snap or just plain leave you in awe…nope it doesnt and you cant front like it does this nigga is average! point blank nothing good and def not GREAT!
the only nigga bumping this shit is niggas that love the hype only like it cus the next radio friendly nigga enjoys the song
WOW….This site is full of DRAKE HATERS or people who want to automatically write off drake’s album (which he thought you haters would do). Realistically the album may not be an instant classic but it is still a good album and doesn’t deserve a 2.5 rating.
Just think back to last year when “So Far Gone” mixtape was released on this site, you blog-haters were saying the exact same thng. This doesnt comes as a suprise to me, to drake fans or even drake himself. Because a couple months after his mixtape release, everyone was embracing the album as a “classic” last year.
The album was good but not an instant classic because it lacking a real hit. With that being said, alot of his songs are still bangers and with the right push, any of his songs and be a hit single like “Over”. If you examine the blogs and reviews of his album, they all have different songs they enjoyed or hated from the album – no top 3 or bottom songs are the same.
Top 3
1. Unforgettable
2. Light Up
3. Show me a good time
Dislike:
Shut it down
My top 3 songs might differ from another person. Plus the song that I dislike could be on someone’s top 3 list, meaning that his album has good music but right now its hard to find the “top†songs that everyone enjoys listening. So time will tell if this album is good and is actually higher than a 2.5 rating.
could you tell us where to see a good review of this average, to say the most ,album
U right man….i remember when ppl hated so far gone too. my fav songs are karoke..resistance…fireworks…dont lik of fancy.
There are a good reviews. This site is one of the worst reviews. Allhiphop.com gave it a good review
http://allhiphop.com/stories/reviewsmusic/archive/2010/06/07/22252266.aspx
hell nah this review is on point more then 549 agree too
allhiphop review was too much
even drakes own fans don’t like this album you can’t deny it.
HUH….what drake fan doesn’t like the album…its a great album but time will tell if it is a classic…u cant tell if its a classic before the actual album has not been released yet.
the album had only one good song, drake is a fake bitch
542 people say it`s a 3 on average.so it`s a 3
1 star at most.
HOLD THE FUCK ON! If I hear one more of you bitch ass nerds scream about a nigga being fake I’m gonna’ scream! Fuck any of you kids know about the hood? Shut the fuck up and listen to shit- cuz you damn well don’t know shit about the streets or living in the projects or slanging rocks or fucking banging on niggas.
It’s hard out here and a lot of niggas act IGNORANT because that’s how a nigga is raised, that’s how a nigga survives you feel me. It ain’t no party out here. Niggas don’t be listening to that hard rah rah shit as much as you think, especially when a lot of “gangsta rappers” are fucking cartoons to us real niggas anyway. How many of you motherfuckas put JEEZY’s RECESSION on deck? That’s real shit not some nigga spitting about what fuck is around his neck or rhyming about clouds and moons. But a nigga appreciate a kid like Drake when he wants to escape the fucked up real world. Truth be told, real niggas was bumpin Hammer back in the day right along with NWA cuz we aint no fuckin single minded robots.
You want to know whats good, whats real, come outside, come see us. That ain’t a threat either, don’t be surprised if you find some of the nicest people you could ever meet in the hood. Keeping it real to us is you doing you- ya dig. Fuck all these fake Red and Blue niggas popping up in the East, WTF is that? You niggas is D boys playing with fire. You heard it from me not some bullshit CNN or Fox news reporter.
fucking banging on niggas? Who knew the hood was so gay!
I kid
I’m seriously getting sick of everyone talking about the hood, streets, real nigga and whatever other excuse we keep using to justify our bullshit.
Then make that change homie don’t pop shit on the net and call it all good.
I do try to make the change on my spare time, but I can’t convince people to do what I’d like to see. Tutoring kids, and working with the community and my chruch can only get the message so far. That still however doesn’t justify the excuses for the bunch of bullshit I’ve seen in my life.
throw the jew down the well…..
I know you couldn’t be black. Maybe black face cuz “niggas” don’t throw that racist shit at others the way it was thrown on us. If you are your one ignorant mother fucker.
LMFAO!!!!
Hip-HopDX sucks.who are you to trash somebodies Album,when you give Tony Yayo 5 X’s for his bullshit mixtapes.
Andres Vasquez,go suck a dick
WHEN DID DX GIVE YAYO A 5 FOR ANYTHING?
Thank Me Later is better than all of Kanye’s Albums
its better than Tha Carter 3
agreed
get off that stuff homie.
YOUR FUCKIN WHILING!
ALL I KNOW IS THIS ALBUM DROPPED THE SAME WEEK MOST SCHOOLS CLOSE AND SUMMER STARTS. THIS WILL GO GOLD FAST. IT HAS ALL THE FEATURES TO SELL BIG. ALTHOUGH AWFUL OVERALL 4 TRACKS IS ALL THATS NEEDED FOR DRAKE TO SELL.
THIS ALBUM IS SIMILAR TO A BAD SUMMER MOVIE, ITS OVERHYPED AND HAS A HUGE BUDGET. IT WILL SELL WELL EVEN THOUGH ITS ACTUALLY NOT GOOD.
THANK ME LATER = TRANSFORMERS 2

drake sucks and everybody that is on cash money/young money records just because they got 1 song and everybody likes it doesn’t mean it’s good Fuck everybody that jumps on the band wagon thats what almost everybody does. QUIT IT!!!!!!!!
who has owned this year…be honest…when you show me somebody who has owned this year…when you show me somebody who has been featured so many times that you would think he is 5 albums in the game….when you show me somebod who said ‘fuck the gangster hardcore kill everybody route’ come see me…i love real hip hop and at first i hated drake…i still hate some of his music…hes not old skoo raw hip hop…but hes setting a good example…hes putting out hit songs..hes saying to the youth that you dont have to kill 20 people to be kool…i respect that…he might not be nas or jay or pac or snoop but he IS WHAT HIP HOP NEEDS FOR RIGHT NOW, in this era where mims and soulja boy is hot……so jus let it happen people he aint pac or big but he is the modern version of him…I hated drake but after a while i was like ‘this is what hip hop needs right now’….i was hopin another pac or nas came along but i came to the conclusion that we are never gonna see another nas or pac so i said ‘drake will do for now’ hes nice talented and smart….until we find the next pac or jay drake will do….YOU CANT HONESTLY SAY HES TRASH…THE FACT THAT HES THIS CONTROVERSIAL AND THIS IMPROTANT IS ENOUGH TO PROVE THAT HE WILL MAKE HISTORY….to my young knowledge nobody brought up this much hype since nas…..lets be honest…so lets be fair….look at it…if you already comparing sombody who hasent dropped one album to jay z he must be atleast ok…..not 5 star but atleat 3
Yeah I think some people are going to the extreme BUT I can’t hate on anyone’s opinion. Especially those who can back it up.
J Cole is what we need hes way more deep. Drake is limited as proven by this trash album
Drake’s not as good as we hyped him up to be when he first came out we claimed him to be the next lil wayne there was even talk about ghostwriting between the two but all he is one-liners, catchy lines, women, women, and a guy just constantly complaining everything he raps is the same and that’s why we will all just forget about him in a year like we have done with almost all of the past newcomers in the 00s and that’s gonna be the difference between him and the greats (eminem, nas, jay-z, scarface, outkast) the stayed relevant over time but having a wide array of things they brought to their music…drake will sell teenage girls have to listen to something
Hi haters, this album is nice
I love how everyone hating on this album can’t spell or put a sentence together…I mean, it’s gotta be tough to hate when you can’t communicate!
Oh yeah…and for all you haters (including the original reviewer) – WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING?
Seriously, what else would have made this album a “5” rating? Did he need to go up against Tupac on a song? Or get a Biggie feature? It’s ridiculous….
from all the hype i expected 5 stars
Eminem: slim shady lp
Jay-z : Reasonable doubt
Nas: Illmatic
Biggie: Ready to Die
50 cent: Grodt
Snoop: Doggystyle
Kanye: College Dropout
Wu Tang: Enter the 36 chambers
if there is so much hype and buzz about this guys talent then why cant he do what these guyz did
Some of those albums you mentioned did not have a big buzz or were classics the moment they were released. Some rap critics considered some of those albums to be GOOD at best but took a couple months for everyone to precieve them as a “classic”.
Jay-z : Reasonable doubt – had little buzz and wasnt considered a classic when released (4/5 mics in the source)
Biggie: Ready to Die – had a buzz and 4/5 mics in the source (4 mics means a good album, not a classic)
Kanye: College Dropout – didnt have buzz at all until months after his album came out
Wu Tang: Enter the 36 chambers – it was considered a good album when released but not a classic until later
@ drakebuzz you wrong on all accounts, except for reasonable doubt. Ready to Die was a huge album. Kanye had a giant buzz and co-signs from the strongest label at that time. through the Wire was a big single and that bear mascot was all over the place. Wu-Tang swept the nation like N.W.A. and spread like wild fire. I got the promo CD when I was like 12 and that was on West Coast. fuck you, you know nothing bitch ass drake defender.
Now, unlike everybody else, i haven’t bootlegged the album but this 5 is for the dude who rated it as a 2.5…hiphopdx…you’re falling off
i’ve heard about 5 songs off of this so far and even if this project is whack other than those song which i’ve heard it should still get at least a 3…you gave brother ali “Us” a 4.25 and it was the worst project he’s ever done…get off rhymesayers nuts hip hop dx and write a real review
you gonna criticize the score, when you havent even heard the album.
sensitive bitch nigga, he dropped a weed plate.
matter fact, i wouldnt disrespect my weed by rolling up on this fag niggas album.
weak album, weak artist, weak fanbase, weak gimmick, weak nigga.
i swear drakes die hards the biggest faggots in rap, bicurious lames that like his synthisized crooning about fictional sex.
this nigga was a virgin till his label told him hes a ladies man.
jimmy sitdown dropped a dud, deal with it.
this nigga is done, he probably on the phone with nickolodeon right now plotting a new tv show.
he doesnt love rap, hes a corporate puppet, and youre a industry drone.
you need to ditch the lace underwear and grow a pair you bitch ass nigga, cuz if drake impresses you, you aint been around the block.
if you’ve only heard 5 songs off the album how the fuck u rate it a 5?
AMEN KUSH NAP.
Wwwwooowwwwwww you are a fag.
How does Drake’s semen taste, you dick jockey?
the rate was an equalizer, i haven’t listened to the album because i have a job and can afford to purchase a 10 dollar cd every once in a while. If you feel the way you feel thats cool i can respect that but if you care enough to write a reply to somebody supporting an artist that you dislike it just kind of seems like a waste of time for you buddy
lets not disgrace all females
there are some of of us with intelligence and love for hip hop that will agree this album is a huge piece of caca!

This did not live up to all the hype. Drake said this is his reasonable doubt. thats Some funny shit. Basically half the album is features and almost every hook is him singing. This is no classic. He had one the most anticapated albums ever and this is what he dropped. All it will due is sell. No one will be listening to this shit five years from now.

i’m a big fan of both drake and i have downloaded his album, but im still buying it so don’t worry. i loved so far gone and i thought it was a great mixtape but i have listened to this album a few times and it really sounds to me like drake put no effort into these songs, as if there is absolutely no emotion and he is just talking in his monotone voice over some alright beats about how much money he has and how successful he is, really boring album to me but im still coppin it
why don’t you just give somebody else 10 bucks and be done with it.
^ Agreed. You should cop PackFM’s album. Help the industry. Help a dope emcee. Drake doesn’t need the money….nor does he deserve it. I know because I’m actually nodding off to his craptasticness as I type. Yep I downloaded it. Nope, not buying it.
Literally or figuratively…
Susan recommended me a nice website, ______ B l a c k W h i t e C u p i d * C o m ______ where black & white singles are looking for lovers to share interracial lifestyle with…. 😀
refreshing cd, to bad half of it got leaked… tru hip hop heads not feelin it… i applaud dude for stepping out the box for once.. like it or not hes influencing the whole damn game right now.. and i don’t even like Aubrey like that but still… id ratha bump that then some wakka … atleast ya boy drake is actually making MUSIC.. which is really lost to us now a days..
Yeah, but does that constitute whether or not an album is good? Drake is better than wakka flocka no doubt. But does that mean he’s above a 2.5? Soulja Boy, Wakka, Rapper X whoever may be horrible rappers, but does being better than them make one a good rapper? No one’s above a shitty project. No one’s exempt.
I dig it… I diddnt give it more than a 2.5 either which just restates what i said before .. because most shit that comes up… aint even that… i think its just about where his level of music is as well.. not crack.. a lil catchy.. and nobody gonna flip out if ur bumpin it..
don’t hate on a black man for doing his job.
peace to drake and all dem cats.
you got a problem, freestyle over some beats bitch.
Drake’s style is half Kanye / Half Lil’ Wayne. Except he’s not half as nice as either of them. As soon as Ye drops his next project and Wayne gets out of jail, Drake is irrelevant.
you are a bunch of idiots, all you people leavin comments sayin drake’s flow is always the same?! are you forgetting this IS HIS FIRST ALBUM!! nas, em, jay, kanye, and every other successful rapper took time to evolve and expand their styles and switch up the flow, holy shit give drake a DAMN CHANCE
He sold his last tape like it was an album. So Far Gone was up for a Grammy and moved 400k units. This one is more like a follow up. Drake may be the first rapper to hit his sophomore slump on his “debut”
But their flows matched their beats on their albums. Go listen again. Hell Jay-z and Eminem are known for having two of the best flows in the game when they debuted.
Yes all the greats expand and evolve and Drake may do that too, but as of now the album that I judge based on what I hear, his flow IS the same and its kind of a problem
most of those rappers u named made classic albums with their debut…..so gtfoh
good point but you are forgetting one thing…
they all had classic debuts. switching up style is one thing, switching up talent is another. em can rap with an accent and is still good because he can rhyme. 50 can dumb shit down and still make good music because its catchy (to be fair, his style hasn’t really changed, hes still a “gangsta”, but its what we like from him) jay was able to evolve from the Mafioso style to boardroom style because he always sounded good doing it. drake? he doesn’t really sound good (at least to me), so for him to evolve on his second album it will require him to actually change his talent, not just the style.
Please understand, Nas’ debut album was, by many people’s opinion, the best hip hop album ever made. And I have given Drake a chance (about 10 of them). And no, Drake is not very good.
I actually kind of feel blasphemous for mentioning Nas and Drake in the same comment.
Well…I liked this so fucko at all the people who are bitching cuz he aint nas or jay. Of course he isnt and hell never be, Drake is Drake and he does his thing. You the motha fuckas that Jay is talking about on his verse on “Light Up.” TML is 3.5 but Ima wait till his sophomore album to pass total judgement. If you read any interviews to acutally get to know the guy…SFG was a fluke! Drake wasn’t confident in it at all when he put it out. He’s just gotta get his footing after all the unexpeted success.
folllow the trends and this will be the outcome.
hiphops not dead,,,, its just nowhere to be found on this album
Agreed. Drake does a great job of “acting like a rapper” just like he “acted” like he was in a wheel chair. But ever since his feminine mannerism laced appearance on Funk Flex where he needed his blackberry to kick freestyles and got caught up when his one Half Wayne Half Ye flow didn’t fit to the beat he was given, its apparent that he’s better at acting like a rapper than he is at actually being an Emcee. Em can tell the same stories and complain about the same disfunctions for 12 years and get away with it because he can actually RHYME. He can actually SPIT. He is actually CREATIVE. Drake’s not there yet. It’s doubtful he’ll ever be.
listened to it twice. was not impressed at all. every good song got leaked, and there are way to many guest appearances. drake fucked up big time, then got murdered by jay-z on the best track on the album. lol
Wow congratulations you’ve reached 600 comments!…..and 90% of them are from drake haters, damn you guys love to blog…lol…Thanks hiphopDX for giving TML an incredibly low rating than other reviews for haters to agree with.
So if they didn’t give it 5 stars they’re haters?
What defines a hater anyway? This album just leaked and will be released in a few days and from what I’m reading 99% of the comments are giving their opinions which we may not agree with. Those blantant “Drake is gay” or “Fuck Drake” without any criticism of the album is hating. Otherwise its just some random guy (or girls) opinion on an overhyped album
Why were you hyping up for TML so much? With all of Drake’s hype, of course its gonna lead to some disappointment. The people who used to say ‘Fuck Drake’ now have a body of work to hate and act like they have a good ass opinion of his album. They just fall to hiphopdx standards by giving the album of 2 stars or less.
Compare Drake to Raheem DeVaughn, Usher, or Justin Timberlake. NOT Jay-Z, Wayne, or Eminem.
I will be riding in the car at some point with chick(s) bumping this, this better than Rihanna or some country bullshit.
I honestly Hate what Drake embodies and stands for, and agree hes severely overrated but this is a decent album, mainly because of producers and features.
I would never buy a Drake album but Downloaded it cuz of the hype and I like it AS A mainstream album for girls/party music.
I buy AOTP, Devin the Dude, La Coka Nostra, Brother Ali type shit and don’t listen to the radio. so I think this soft shit serves a purpose at times.
what does Drake stand for?
I wasn’t being literal although it does stand for something. To me Drake stands for hiphop formally going pop, Non offensive corporate controlling mainstream sounds.
what does Drake stand for?

Do Right And Kill Everything
i would want you to be my lawyer

a
I’m rating this a one star
I really don’t understand why people really expected so much out of this album! People’s ears don’t work right anymore… It’s average at best! The kid has talent but not mind blowing talent… The unfortunate thing for new artists is that once legends have put their stamp on the game before you, than what those legends did set the bar for what is dope… and this album fails! Hip Hop are so desperate for something big that on an overall basis they have sold their soul! It’s crazy how I know certain ppl who grew up on the good shit, and now all that matters to them is numbers & success… Numbers don’t mean shit, longevity does!!!
shit is alright j. cole isn’t going going to disappoint
J COLE IS A NO BODY HE SUCKS
DRAKE> j blow
Real talk J Cole>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Drake
J Cole makes better songs.
im ratin it a 2 out of 5, its below what i expected
OMG CHECK OUT THIS DRAKE INTERVIEW PARODY ITS FUCKIN HILARIOUS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCJIANnBdkA
THANK ME LATER IS EXACTLY WHAT DRAKE HAS SHOWN HE WAS GON PRODUCE..AN ALBUM FULL OF HITS WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT THIS SHIT IS A SOLID EBUT..DONT KNOW WHAT TRACKS YALL LISTENIN TO BUT “THE RESISTANCE” IS CLASSIC DRAKE SHIT. TO THE PPL COMPARIN THIS TO SO FAR GONE..HIS MIXTAPE..YO POINTS DONT ADD..THIS ALBUM IS A VERY DIRECT DECENDENT OF SO FAR GONE..THE HOOKS,THE MELODIES..THE WORDPLAY..SMOOTH BEATS..WHAT ELEMENT IS MISSING..I THINK DRAKE GOT EXTREMELY HOT FAST AND THAT MEANS THE SEASON FOR DRAKE HATE IS IN..IT COMES WITH THE RAP GAME AN THE CONSTANT OBSESSION FOR NEWNESS..WHATS NEXT..JUST LISTEN TO MUSIC FOR WHAT IT IS..ENTERTAINMENT…
Fuckin’ idiots…
just wait til the album sales then we will know if it sucked or not stop saying this albums wack cuz its not. its a pretty great album for a debut remember its his first album he will get better on his next album geez what do you expect from this guy
I can’t believe someone without a vagina would honestly rate this a 5. Your a joke, Drake will get better a what? Song writing, queer crooning, rapping with a girl perspective. The legends in game all had raw debut albums not this cookie cutter massive budget with giant name cameos. This album cost 5 million to make and you want to judge its success from sales? Well thats a lot of sales to break even!
i expect the dude to be as good as he says he is. thats not to much to ask for .. dudes the self proclaimed savior of rap itself.
Sales are not a scale of greatness of an album. That’s how everyone here knows you don’t really listen to music, you just skim through it.
expect nothing from this pop music.It is not sales that say if it`s a good cd.
wow theres so much hate in this website you go to other sites there is no hate they say the dont like it and why and they dont put racism things and disrespectful things this is sad and hiphops not dead by any chance people cant stay in the past everyone changes there style if not they will get the same thing over and over jayz even said it in on to next one
Hov on that new shit
Niggas like how come
Niggas want my old shit
Buy my old album
Niggas stuck on stupid
I gotta keep it movin
Niggas make the same shit
you jus completeley hopped on another dudes shit
someones needs too slap the shit out of your dumb ass
I like drake, I love his old shit it sucks waynes modling him into a fuckin pop star…but this album is way below average of what the hype around you is and a lot of good vets first album pretty much sets teh bar for their career.
And its funny how drake and em came out the same time all the hype was around drake but white boy had the way better album!
Not a hater at all!!! this album is pure trash. This album will get no bumpage in the whip. I cannot believe most of u guys r even rating this trashy shit. Name 1 fucking song on this album that’s pure fire…I need that illmatic shit in my life not no ring around the rosy type shit. I need that first CNN album type shit. If you’re gonna make a debut album, u need to bring all the fucking guns out. U need to bring your best effort. I need that Tribe Called Quest shit in my life. Hell!!! Even Jamal from Illegal had a fucking tight (1st) solo album. What the fuck is this shit that we r listening to these days. Now I c why real dudes like AZ, KRS-One,etc… never blew the fuck up because most of you cats do not listen to real hiphop. Hell even Nelly first album which was commerical at its finest was a flame thrower at that time. Drake album= pure trash…consumers beware b 4 u pick that album up.
Lets just all agree that Drake is better than Bizarre, Tony Yayo, Plies, and Waka Flocka.
and many more.
lmao that ain’t saying much
that’s like saying the Hornets are better than the Clippers.
This album is complete trash! Only people that should buy this album is women that don’t know better.I can remember a time when the Hip Hop community would have laughed and then used his album cover for toilet paper. I’m still a young kat all of 22 years old and I can remember like 10 years ago niggas like Red and Meth,Talib and Hi tek, Mos def, WC (for the gangstas out there) when they came out with album I knew they was bringing something sick to the table.
Drake brings soft niggas singing to bitches. How tight he should wear his pants that day,and how he can gargle lil Wayne’s dick in his mouth. Hip Hop is beyond dead and it’s being cremated as we speak!
i gave TML a fair listen. but honestly the more i listened to it the more turned off i became. obviously too much singing, production value was decent. the lyricism was above average (& i say that being generous by 2010 standards). but more importantly, i felt there was a lack of emotion, struggle, originality & purpose (other than shoot for 1 million the 1st week) on this album. it had some bright spots but top to bottom, it was an average listen at best. especially when you compare it to his flow off comeback season & his originality & concept of so far gone (neither of which this is better than). i wasn’t expecting an Illmatic or Reasonable Doubt or Get Rich but i was hoping for something close to College Dropout… so much for that wish
2 WORDS: FUCKIN GARBAGE
RATING: O/9999999999999999999999999999999
WHY? DRAKE IS JUST WEAK LIKE THAT
WHY BUY THIS ALBUM? IF YOU ARE RICH AND DON’T MIND GIVING 10 DOLLARS TO A BUM….THEN THIS ALBUM IS PROBABLY FOR YOU…TO LISTEN TO AND THEN FRISBEE OUT THE WINDOW.
HOW WOULD DRAKE BE GOOD? IF HE WERE TO BE IN JAIL AS SOMEONES WIFE.
WHAT WOULD I DO TO DRAKE IF I SEEN HIM? I WOULD JUST SLAP HIM TO THE GROUND
dont’ hate cuz you cut grass for a living nigga!!!
BUDDY BELOW ME….I WILL SLAP YOU OUT IF I SEE YOU
whats wrong with cutting grass, my father does that for a living and makes well over 6 figures…dont make fun of peoples livings…at this time ud be happy with a job..
u are probably a kid who doesnt understand that..ignorant fuck
Ok your dad does not make 6 figures cutting grass unless he is sucking dick on the side… maybe he owns a Lawn Care company or something like that then yeah I can see him making 6 figures, and maybe he helps his crew cut the grass, but there is no way in hell your dad can make 6 figures cutting grass… If you knew anything you would know that. Cops don’t even make that much money and neither do teachers and you actually have to be qualified to do that so don’t mislead people into thinking they can make over 100k cutting grass.
Now onto the album… this album is definitely not as good as it was hyped up to be but its alright I can listen to it… There are some songs on here though that are really hard to listen to and are unbearable but its not terrible, I would give it a 3 or 3.5
Without too much hate, Drake isn’t considered hip hop to me. Still i’m a fan. Why compare for? Album is nice enough in comparison to alot of pop shit coming out, decent music. Just not in comparison
n a Loop 21 article published last month, Marc Lamont Hill (Associate Professor of Education at Columbia University) further provoked criticisms of the former Degrassi: The Next Generation star,
“Drake has mastered neither the art, science, nor stylistic etiquette of MCing. From his frantic attempts to stay on beat to his inability to improvise even slightly, Drake represents a dangerous historical moment in hip-hop culture where rapping has overshadowed other dimensions of MCing, like freestyling, battling, and moving the crowd… Take one look at Drake and you can almost hear the calculations of greedy record execs looking for the next crossover act: Preexisting white fanbase: check. Exotic Ethnic Background: check. Light Skin: check. Celebrity Cosigners: check.â€
haha
check check!
ignorant minds look ahead but stay behind!
fuck presenting a angruement anymore ppl like to be ignorant dont even know how much of peice of caca this is
find your love is the only dope track, over is typical him just getting lucky with a good beat..shut it down, is what he should of down with this album.
Go cop my cd Attention:Deficit!
i have not heard it …… but im sure its typical retterect… from somebody who assocciates with lil wayne…. hes lyrically decent, but in terms of creative art, and substance he falls short… and i dont think he takes the listener anywhere they have not been before. thats what a classic debut should concist of….. forget the commercialism and spit some powerful bars that people can gravitate towards….
u
I typically like most drake stuff, but that album is just horrible…it should be put in the r&b section, not hip hop.
not only that, but its bad r&b…pick a lane, and go for it…nobody digs his half ass efforts on both sides.
i dont get why cats got so much hate for this nigga. This cd is a solid joint…. all you fuckin backpackers bitch about is real hiphop and real lyrics. But then you come on here and rate this a 1 and give the Plies cd a 4. fuck outta here. he actually has a nice flow and he spits good lyrics. And DX unforgettable might be the best song I’ve heard all year….. you fuckin idiots.
Forreal i really cant believe what im hearing its just like people expect way too much from people nowadays i mean it is only his first album give the hatin a break and i love the song unforgettable jeezy kills that slow beat and that song will be a classic everybodys got there reasons but i cant wait to see what drizzy comes with next ill admit he has kinda went more mainstream with his flow not saying the “hardcore” stuff he used to spit but talk of a drizzy an wayne collaboration should be sick so well just see how it goes
Its a classic. Im still trying to find a really bad or horrible song on the album. I dont even care much for Drake but where are the bad joints on the album? What song sucks? What Ive noticed with these reviews of TML, is if the critic tries to break-down the album song-by-song, they cant really say much negative becuause its too hard. I cant fathom how anyone can say Drake’s flow alone is not dope. The haterz on here are hilarious. Tough guy bloggers. I was tuned in when Resonable Doubt dropped – I dont recall the words “classic” being said without arguement. Jay-Z was seriously hated on (still is). Some haterz gave in after “HArd Knock Life”. Same with “College Dropout”. In fact, I dont remember anyone saying “classic” when Kanye’s first one dropped. Illmatic is probably the only album I remember being dubbed a “classic” before it dropped. You guys are acting like this is a Canibus situation, Shyne situation or even a Benie Seigal situation but this album is way better than all those artists debuts. Some of you are saying record sales dont matter? Unfortunately, for you dudes, who will determine whether TML or SFG are classics are the people. The more who do, the more likely it will be determined to be a classic. Plus, these kids arent your generation. Its the fourteen to sixteen year-olds who buy this album now and are influenced by it 5-10 years from now, that determine classic status. You guys act like hating is a new sport. It happens to every MC when they come out the gate. In fact, from Elvis to Aretha Franklin, hate is often an indication of greatness. Most of the great artists are met with opposition by the traditionalists who are scared of any change. Typically, the more they are hated and the more they split the audience between people who love their art and those vehemently hate it, the bigger the artist becomes. Eminem was hated intensely. Biggie/Puffy was hated feverishly by so-called purists becuase the mainstream cross-over “poppy” sound they supposedly had. Biggie even had to answer them on “Kick in the Door”. My only wish for TML was he put in a skit for the blogging haters still stuck on “underground hip-hop” which still pretty-much sounds like crappy Smif-N-Wessuns or Relfection Eternal albums from the 93-94 era. I loved that stuff back then, but dudes, its over. Its kind of sad. Move on.
well said, co-sign on this my nigga
why can’t you fukkin stans just realise that people don’t like the album? ok you enjoy it but don’t act like it a classic when most people don’t think so. and you need your head examined if you think this is classic. stop crying bitch.
Co sign with Jake.. I usually take the time to write how i feel, but you said it pretty well
miss me is a terrible song.
I’m not “stuck on underground hip-hip” I’m stuck on good music. I bet you are about 15 maybe 16 because you would know Relfection Eternal didn’t come out until like 2000. Just come out and say you like radio hits, you are a mainstream type of person. Then you are coming out and throwing names like Biggie, and Eminem legends of the game. I don’t remember anyone talking about how wack biggie was at the time. People may have hated on him because of that coast beef that happened many years ago but thats it. And for Eminem even the harshest critic had to say that man had an overwhelming flow, and even the gangsta nigga was giving him props. So I don’t know where you are getting this hip-hop purist crap from.
When Lupe dropped his first album he grabbed my attention with his sick flow and story telling to me drake is NO WHERE ON THE LEVEL AS LUPE. Drake is an at best C to maybe on a good day C+ rapper. Nothing special he is a media creation put here to get suckers like you, and some of the kiddies on here to buy his albums. Like I said before this album is for women and guys that sit down when they take a piss. The same guys that will buy a Drake album with buy a Nelly album to.
To set thing straight I’m not a hater or just some backpack rap fan I’m just a guy telling the truth.
@ Youngali
Im not 15-16. I am much older than that and likely much older than you.I have followed hip-hop since Eric B. and Rakim. I still have records from that era up to recently. I am well-aware of when reflection eternal first single dropped. In fact, I bought their very first single on a white label LP before most people even knew who they were. I loved it. Along with it, I bought Universal Magnetic which was Mos Def’s first single (IMO, far superior to anything either artists put out thereafter). Im talking specifically about a crowd of hip hop fans who are still in search of hip hop returning to the sound of the early 90 or 93-94 (as represented by ACTQ, Wu-tang, Illmatic, OGC, Helta Skelta etc.). Black Star, Reflection Eternal and Mos Def all in a sense represent a re-birth of that early 90s sound IMO, even though, of course, it came later. As far as my pop taste in music, I am far from pop in my musical tastes. My fav artists are: MF Doom, Madlib/Madvillian, Ghostface, Diplo, Cool Kids, etc. I remember when Biggie dropped and people hated on him hard for bringing a “west-coastish R&B” sound to NY hip-hop. When he died, the haters silenced themselves quickly. It happens with many great artists. Drake has a few R&B tracks on his album but these sound to me more in the vain of D’Angelo or Sade – not what I would identify as straight-up simplistic “pop music” but good music that happens to become popular. The music is unique to me and his lyrics are deep/meditiative. Sorry dude. No way would I say this is some Nelly album. I cant really listen to Nelly. I think people are responding to Drake’s image which is soft and becuase he looks clean-cut/chicks dig him. I dont watch videos on MTV. I just listen to records, man. I dont know how people can listen to cuts like “resistance”, “Light Up” or “unforgetable” and tell me that the dude has no talent. Nuts.
Like I said I am a fan of good music Jake. I never said that he didn’t have any talent. I just said he was an average rapper. To this Biggie statement you made in your last post I have magazines from all through 1993 to 1996 from The Source magazine,The Rap pages,Vibe, and Rolling Stone. Now I did scan through those mags to look for these harsh Biggie criticisms and I can’t find one really. In The Source basically called him the savior of rap, and in the other magazines he is being called smooth with an hypnotic and eye opening style. And this is when he was alive.
Yea if you have stuff from Eric B and Rakim you are older than I am, even though I have some of their albums too. My brother was a DJ so I was turned onto a lot of music at a young age. I was lucky enough to take a picture and have Talib sign his album for me in 2000 in Hawaii when I was 12. I am in no way saying I want early to mid 90’s music back. I just want good music back thats all. I consider Drake R&B like Nelly, nothing wrong with that, they are making sick money with it. I don’t hate on drake dude for making money hell I’m happy for him. I don’t attack him for his looks or how the ladies like him, like I said good for him. If I did that I would have to go down the line and attack a lot of rappers for their female fans. All I said that he is “C” rapper, he is very average. I apologize if I came off harsh or mean spirited I had just got finish watching some horrible promo for a show on VH1 it got me pissed.
Hatred for Biggie and esp. Puffy were everywhere at the time. Trust me. Like I said, one only has to reference the skit before Kick in the Door and the song itself or plenty of Biggie’s songs from Life After Death, which reference haters often. In fact, this is one first songs I can recall which so specifically directed at haters, jealous of his success. Kick in the Door is specifically directed at the tons of rappers at the time, complaining about Biggie’s success. This was common-place. When Biggie/Puffy dropped, they were heavily criticized especially from the purists because there music was considered soft/R&Bish. Duck Down/Boot Camp Click were anti-Biggie. OGC for instance made a video dissing him outright with a Biggie clone on stage being pushed off. Wu-Tang members also had beef which was more subtle. Plus the whole West coast fued added fire to this. But even more, it was in people’s mouths as with Drake. If you lived in NYC at the time, plenty of kids rhyming and the “backpackers” hated Biggie/Puffy (At the time, I dont even think were called backpackers). Not many will admit this now or they will spare Biggie the critique but believe me, there was plenty of angst against both of them esp. Puffy because (they claimed) he made “hip-hop” seem pop. This aint to say Drake is up there with Biggie but hating on the #1-selling MC is very very common. History silences the haters because as time moves on, the haters become parents and become disinterested in the music. The youth who are in their teens now move to their twenties and the album becomes their soundtrack. Drake still rose from mix-tapes and clever word-play. I cant put him there with Nelly because Nelly to me couldnt/wouldnt even sound right over a DJ Premier-beat, for instance.
I could be wrong but, at the time the Boot Camp Clik was very close with Pac they did that One Nation album. I just going to take a wild guess and say that Buckshot and his boys weren’t going to ride with Biggie when they were friends with pac.
On your second point the reason why some was attacking Puffy and Biggie at the time was the so-called gangster persona they were putting out there. I can have that Jeru the Damaja album where he attacks bad boy. Now he wasn’t attacking them just because, he was going after them because he perceived them as phony. His words in a source interview was “they are putting out a gangsta persona and aren’t gangsters at all. Wu Tang said pretty much they same thing. Now what other people were saying I have no clue maybe they were “hating”. God I wish someone would do away with the word “hating” it’s so played.
Drake is very, very, very average. He is nowhere on the level as Lupe, Jay electronica, and for flavor I will throw in Murs. And to talk about people flowing on a Dj premier production MC Eiht is doing an album with him. And let’s be serious MC Eiht is no wordsmith.
My brother and I are from NY, but moved out LA with my family in 95 so I heard the story and I know what was happening at the time. To even throw drake in the same breath as a hip-hip legend is nuts. Even trying to equate two is crazy. I can’t believe a media created average rapper is causing all this uproar. I can’t believe I spent this much time on this guy, dammit I have been sucked into talking about this kat I’m done!
Last word on this…First, no – Boot Camp Click/OGC attacked Biggie way before the 2pac compilation album was done. And you are right about Jeru. I forgot about Wrath of the Math. That was focused on attacking the sound Biggie/Puffy were popularizing. Taking me back – It also reminded me of the Roots legendary “What They DO” video, which clearly attacked Biggie’s entourage with fake models swinging glasses of champagne in unison. Winners write history, man. Drake’s status in history will be decided by his popularity and the allegience of his followers. They were plenty of great albums over the years that fell off the radar and lesser than average albums which now represent a long gone era. Nobody hardly even remembers OGC, Boot Camp click, Helta Skelta, Saafir, Camp Lo, Digable Planets, Dream Warriors, Lord Finnesse, Immortal Technique, Royce 5 9″, AZ now. Some of these guys had some good bangers though. History may never even remember the Jay Electronicas,Charles hamilton, Cadence Weapons. I hope so but who knows. Mc Eight sucks but we know Premier working with him is unusual. Drake’s status will be better known 5 years from now. Chances are though, he have a distinct place up there. Shoot…if Shyne and Benie Siegel still can make headlines, Drake will be fine.
One last thing Buckshot and Pac were friends before the one nation cd. They met up in 95. Pac said, he was touched when he was in Rikers that Smiff N Wessun had given him a shout out on the The Shining. He kept that in mind, and a day or two after he got out of jail he contacted Duck down. He befriended Buckshot over the phone and they talked constantly, and Pac actually gave buckshot the BDI thug nickname. Buckshot and the clik decided in the face of their coast to ride with Pac.
You know your stuff man it’s been a pleasure talking to you about hip hop.
FUCK OFF HHDX THIS CD IS A DEFINATE 5 AND A CLASSIC. IT’S THE BEST CD SINCE THE CARTER 3 SO STOP HATIN. I CANT FIND A BAD SONG ON THE WHOLE ALBUM AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ITS A FUCKIN CLASSIC. I CAN LISTEN TO THIS CD ALL DAY EVERY DAY. DRIZZY 2 MILLION IN 1 WEEK MARK MY WORDS
i never hear anybody calling the carter 3 a great album. lol
classic gay shit n the carter 3 was even worse then this
FUCK BOTH OF YOU AND GO LISTEN TO SOULJA GIRL AND GUCCI FAG
WOW THIS IS DA OFFICIAL HATE DRAKE PAGE AND COUNTING HIP HOP DX U FAGGETS
DRIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY
DRIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY
It’s an R&B Album. And a bad one.
this is why i dont read hhdx reviews anymore
I think a lot of people here (including me) were looking for something new, while forgetting that this is actually his first album. His mixtapes got him famous, so obviously he’s going to do the same type of songs that he put on his mixtapes on this album.
I was disappointed at first, because this is just like his mixtapes. But that’s what’s the logical choice, though.
So I’m just looking forward to his next album. Looking forward to see how his style changes, and how he progresses as an artist.
^^^^What this dude said. 3.5
Nice…
garbage…. he’s had some nice tracks on mixtapes and a few collabs but nah man, not this time

DRAKE IS CHEESE, HE JUST MAKES RAP A JOKE ALL THE WAY
does this album leave you in awe?
does it leave you baffled by its amazement?
…no! so how do you want a 5 rating
stop saying drizzy is good by comparing him to even whacker artist ie gucci plies woka flocka!
stop saying he is lyrically good! because a 3rd grade poet can rhyme iller. making things rhyme and stating innuendos…rosetta stone, does not qualify as good lyricism!
maybe you guys are in love with the production well than, thank the producers!
And stop saying people are haters…thats ignorant person comeback to an arguement..”you just hating” sounding like a hood bitch
dont yall understand that its depressing to hear that this average (at most) album is the best thats out there no i dont think so because i heard the lyrics of joell ortiz and rhymes of evidence with the words of jay electronica that tell me otherwise!
but i understand drake is the highschool version of good hip hop
the highschool kids who think they know something about good music will dub him good otherwise this nigga is WHACK!
to this i say
“so if your message ain’t shit, fuck the records you sold
cuz if you go platinum, it’s got nothing to do with luck
it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck!”

I THINK DRAKE IS LIKE SLICED CHEESE WHICH IS STALE TO ME…CHEDDAR ON THE GO TO ME!
that might be the dumbest thing i heard ever…im waitin to buy this on tuesday
pretty dope album
ur at about the age of 15ish arent you?
This album is good as hell sounds like some people stuck in the 90’s its 2010. I mean i don’t listen to Nas and Jay-z is straight but prefer drake. Its like a first impression cd and drake goes off.Don’t compare him to other rappers.
the fact u prefer drake points out the fact you know little about hip hop
TYJ
Nas is a legend and Jay is Drake is for homos like yourself. so enjoy.
Honestly I care less how much I know about hiphop Jay-z gets no disrespect or Nas but I stay true about drake cause he’s good at what he do. And the bottom response mention something about “legend” which is know as old but no disrespect. AND THE MUTHAFUCKING TOP COMMENTS KEEP POSTING AND SHOWING DRAKE HOW DICKRIDERS DO! Racist ass

I’m glad DX didn’t bail out and give this album a bias review. I don’t think its as low as a 2.5, but i think DX was trying to make a point. Albums like this are just making it more difficult for real MC’s to make a mark in the game. Now the industry will be looking for rappers that can sing (or try to). It does no good for the future of hip hop. So no, I will not be thanking Drake. Average bars and too much singing on this joint. As far as his singing goes his vocals are subpar. No more than a 3 on this. I must say that the media and industry has done a nice job of brainwashing into thinking this guy’s the truth, but i won’t fall for it until i hear much better. Right now he’s not worth the hype.
this shit has no offical banger on it. wft drake, come with it bro. like this anther nigga said, this album is just for the bitches. im glad i download this wack as r&b cd. this is what weve been waitin on ….awww hell nawww.
A lot of the people in here need top grow up. I think the album is actually pretty mature. It’s not aggressive or gangster so a lot of people don’t connect with it. Funny tho because most people aren’t gangster they just like the music. The moods of the record are sade to al green to kanye to well.. Drake. This is how Drake has always been. I like the feelings and or emotions the listener can draw from the album. That to me is good music.
its no emotion its shallow
gangster rap is whack do not generalize the individuals ,who consider drake as weak, into gangster loving homos
both are dull
ps you like the feelings and emotions drake takes you?
come-on drake was not at all that deep in his album
his lyrics have no substance nor depth so quit WOOFING
with this “it took me places emotionally” type shit
woofing ass!!!
did you jus compare drake to sade????
i hope he does numbers so all you bitches can eat a dick
Michael Hung sold albums too that doesn’t mean that he is good! You can be wack and sell albums kid, do the world a favor and pick up a book.
Who the hell is Michael Hung??…do you mean WILLIAM Hung?….do me a favor and pick up a book, do some research and get your facts straight before commenting.
so this bitch a real nigga
a real research kinda guy
cus he got that hung niggas first name right
silly ole bitch
Wow i must have hit a nerve! I have someone on here that took my name and try to clown me because I got William, or Michael, or Joe Hung’s first name wrong. All this because of Drake? Are you serious? You guys are defending this guy who put out a shitty album. Come on, is he paying yall bills? Is he feeding yall? Or is he fuckin you losers when he comes to your town. Look here kid, It’s no need to bite my name you are just making yourself look bad Ali 2 lol. Just because I told you to go read and book you are getting on me? I really forgot to add in my last comment that you should also stop watching B.E.T and start watching PBS. lol
its not hate when its the truth.. this album blows.. hate is an over used word…. so u can say where hating all u want niggas…. cd is trash
This album is not that bad and the reviewer underscored it by atleast 1/2 x.I thought it would have got atleast a 3. It’s ONE persons opinion here but I’ve this site rate albums very oddly over the last 4 years or more. Rhymefest El Che was a good album lyrically but the music wasn’t fantastic and it got 3 1/2 x’s,Drake has a better sound to it than that record and it get 2 1/2? Sounds shady to me.Oh yeah Devin tha Dude(who I love) get’s 4 1/2 x’s and that record is not that good,much more jams on this Drake record than that one. Somethin just doesn’t seem right to me but it is what it is. Fireworks is a dope ass record that should get more love if Fear was on tis record instead of “Show Me a Good Time” it would have had better ratings I think. Very rare to find a dx review I agree with!Could have done without Fancy(Mostly Swizz Hook) too. Peace
this site is sucking the big one when I’m posting comments “remove Self Promotion” comments blocked for what? ANyway album is really a 3x,better than Carter 3(comparing hype) I think,just doesn’t appeal to everyone.I like Fireworks the most Fear should have been on record
This article is inundated with bias. I think you should learn about journalism before critiquing music on a website. A couple of compliments here and there don’t make this review objective. It really just comes off as a half-assed attempt at objectivity.
Look dude, i get it your not a Drake fan. At least don’t make it look so obvious when you write a review. Look at this line,”Then again, when an artist crowns himself the “greatest ever†to start the conversation, it’s difficult not to hold his work accountable to higher standards.” Are you shitting me? Do you honestly believe that Drake believes himself that he is the greatest ever. Almost every rapper says that, or hints that, but no one really takes them serious.
In all, the album is pretty decent. I agree that he isn’t comparable to legends like Nas and Jay-z. So why don’t you try comparing him to Drake?
because they are the barometer
I mean he is telling the truth the album is trash. I don’t see any bias in this review the writer is telling the truth. Relax my friend, I understand that you and drake have a “thang” going on.
This is true. The critic is simply anti-Drake from the get-go and was biased from the start. Every artist says there are the greatest. Thats just typical boasting/posturing. Nothing new there.
well than dont say you the greatest if u cant back it up
expect the criticism nigga
Honeslty I don’t agree with review! Album far from a classic so all naive stans please realize this! Drake is getting better but give him two years to do another record he should have gotten better by this time so we’ll see if he drops a clasic ecord.His stuff is catchy and mainstream($) so it is what it is.
wasn’t as good as i thought it would be
Garbage shallow rich boy crap. i really expected a good album all his raps are corny and all the beats sound the same
HHDX I’m dissapointed in this review. HipHop is your life. A form of expression in which if not expressed in the way the veiwer wants it, becomes trash. Like they say, an opinion is like an A**hole. *Kanye Shrug* Not a classic, but it damn sure ain’t a 2.5 either. P.S to this B.S *Dueces Wild* get new reveiwers. I understand ya’ll were trying to save face, but #CmonSon
cd is crap its for lil teeny boppers…so far gone was wayyy better than this crap he put outt rate the album a 2 n that jus being nicee…can only listen to one track n its light up
my i also add this is really jus a poon tune cd..but even so i prob would not bump this…drake bout to change the fucking game pass the remote…terrible that this is ho hes going to change it hhaha…
I liked his mix tape better. Ill still buy the album though.
But the album also loses its luster with some of the slower-paced material and big names don’t always translate to worthwhile collaborations, such as the Jeezy-assisted, “Unforgettable” THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS>. i think #9,#11 and over are prolly the best songs karaoke is ok but the cd is decent not as good as i thought it would be

WHO’S J COLE ?
I’ll call Drake’s So Far Gone mixtape his first album to the entire world while TML is an “happier” version of So Far Gone (So Far Gone 2.0) but an okay sophomore project. He just hit a “sophomore†slump trying to use the same idea from an old project and singing alittle to much. Many of the greats have suspect 2nd albums. His 3nd project with a new artistic direction will be interesting to listen.
This is a solid album im not a fan of the R&B songs, but the other tracks held it together….Dont hate Drake is original and has a unique style…..and he spits realness
realness!!???
Hahahahahaha original? Lmfao you FAILED
realness means staying true to who he is idiot so yes he spits realness because you don’t hear him rhyming about how he is in the project all day
he dont rap about shit
if he were on some real shit he’d rap about his acting which was a huge part of his life
dumb ass nigga
it dont matter if he doesnt talk about b!tches…that’s just staying a man. and mature. them other nuccas like wayne and gucci act like they never seen pu$$y before. thats some gay, childish, sh!t. Realness is talking about life, what you been thru, Introduce yourself with this debut album. he over there talking about fukkin girls he never had, he just paid for LOL fukk outta here!!
again how much do i have to stress that just because u dont like drake does not mean you like gucci and wayne dont yall understand its 2 levels of whackness?!?!
drake aint good becus gucci and wayne are whack thats idiocy
The album is just like the cover…FAIL!
just another wanna-be singer and rapper. too much hype, maybe they should kick this dude out, and wasn’t drake suppose to take-over the game!? lol I’m still waiting for that…
J. Cole!!!!
Man this nigga album is straight…Matter of Fact is dope. I get a real nice vibe when I’m listening to his album. I think most people don’t like it because it’s a mixture of rnb like genre. This nigga lyrics is great, the beats are hot, and his features on his cd went hard to. You can tell he was trying to take a different route, a more artistic path on this album. He could have just approached this album like any other artist and try to rip every beat, but he didn’t, it’s a nice and mellow album. Something I can just ride out to or get high and just chill. He gives us nice punchlines and deliveries. He trying to change the game as y’all can see, instead of hearing the same old rap shit. The average rap single consist of a nigga trying to be hard, telling their audience what kind of environment they came from, show boating their wealth, and promoting niggas to stay in the trap. Get why Drake named it thank me later, because he probably thought what I thought about the rap game and is trying to change the game up. His album is a start when comes to changing the game and we going come back and see his album was the beginning of this change and thank him. And that change is being artistic
no no and no
i aint listening to the hood nigga!
but conversely will not listen to the nigga that rambles on about non sense no real message and retarted ass punchlines that we find in grade school playgrounds
productions is the only on point shit btw if i got high to this shit i would be like fuck this lame ass nigga cus i could just picture this dude in th booth SQUITING his eys pointing his finger in the air all corny tryna hit a note!
whack wont work….what da fuck is “Artistic”???? no knowing just writing dumb shit nigga
if anyone has haters its drake. haha he got all the haters in the world on his dick right now. like forreal if you think hes some trash then why even bother to listen to him or click on this review? oh right its cuz all you haters are PRESSED. which is what he wants.
on another note, this is what happens when an artist has too much hype going into an album. critics will point out every little bad detail from the album and bash the artist based on those details, which is unfair to the artist. i think the album is very good, different from what i expected. not his best though.
IT WAS ALL OUT WAR AS FAR THE REACTION AS YOU SAW FOR THIS ALBUM. DRAKE HATERS AND DRAKE STANS.
THANK YOU DRAKE, YOU ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED SOMETHING TO THIS DYING GENRE. YOU GOT THESE NIGGAS TALKIN
i agree you know at least he got niggas talking and i am thankful that many agree that this nigga sucks and there is a flock of individuals that prefer the j.electronicas
out there
hip hop aint dead
fans aint dead
its just the rich corporate bastards control the ears of the ignorant mothafuckers who
have dubbed drake as good hip hop
but thankfully we aint all naive
For a Pop Rap album is above average, I was really surprised that it didn’t sucked as I expected it. My rating is somewhere between 3-3.5, really not that bad, but there is no banger, and also there are a lot of wack songs. But I bet he will sell like not many other. Btw, I am listening to the new Em joint and my jaw almost fell off. That track with Lil Wayne will be the anthem of the year. This is how Jay wanted Blueprint 3 to sound, but had too many uninspired beats. Em goes to Pop Rap, but he triumphs totally, hard to believe any other Rap album this year can top this, even better than Distant Relatives.
people who are really gay sing along with drake…thats sad
I was never really a big fan of drake, he can rap but I just don’t feel his style. I was waiting to see if his retail album would offer something more than his mixtape stuff but i’m still not a fan…probably never will be unless he steps up his game a little.
i feel like i heard da songs before nothin new
i have the biggest weiner
The WORST album of 2010… as I expected!

You know how people keep saying “we’re not haters we have opinions” well their right
but this guy is the deifinition of a hater.
Come on worst in 2010? You don’t listen to music then. Hands down? C’mon son. I think you need to check it out again. You don’t listen to musis
This review kinda proves Drizzy’s poin’t when he said “Feels like when you getting to that paper hip-hop hates ya they would do just like I do if they could its in our nature” Hiphopdx has a bias against mainstream artiest. No the album isn’t perfect but its a very good freshman effort. The hate is cosistant but “I came up in the undergound tho so Ima blow another 10,000 for dilla. CALL ME UNDERATED OR CREATED OR TOO JADED CUZ ANYWAY U PUT IT BITCH I MADE IT!!” He’s livin life why ya’ll so mad at him. If you don’t like the music don’t listen.
well….the drake show is over..was it really that quick ?
well….the drake show is over..was it really that quick ?
not feeling it
trashhhhh
seems like hiphopdx tha only media outlet hating on this album…..akward
I guess CM/YM got the checks out to the other media outlets from their payolla stipend, no wonder they can’t seem to pay their producers.

not the only one.
wack album, all that hype and you but out that shit….J.Cole album is going to better way better hiphop….Drake you let us down, so let me thank you now…..
DRAKE WE AINT HATIN, WE LIKE JAY-Z CAUSE HE HAS FLOW AND LYRICS…BUT DRAKE YOU’RE JUST CHEESY, NO1 HATES THAT YOU HAVE MONEY LIL KID…WE JUST DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR GARBAGE FLOW, CHEESY STYLE AND YOUR JEW BOY IMMATURITY….DRAKE YOU CANNOT BE THANKED LATER FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF HIP-HOP BUT YOU CAN BE THANKED FOR BEING A GOOD LAUGH AT WHAT CHEESE AND CORN REPRESENT…LOL
THANK YOU DRAKE YOU FUCKIN DORK!
HAHAHA AGREE
If this artist wasn’t given so much hype/hate/extra HATE, etc….this album would be rated higher. I’m sorry, but if I could give it 3.5, that is what this album would be. This album is very dark…his emceeing is a work in progress, but he makes very good music. Light Up with Jay-Z is the best song on there….he deserves more credit than he’s getting from here…
to be honest, this is a good album, drake came thru, its hard to live up to the hype he started with, best i ever had, and forever are tracks that are damn near impossible to follow, however he did a good job in trying to give us a follow up, i think the album is tight, its not in the same lane as ems album but nonetheless its still tight, i give it a 4, solid 4 nothing less, drakes music is a breath of fresh air in hiphop
Alright I’m confused what was drake doing differently before this album that’s got all you haters saying you expected something better or different?
Actually I don’t care what the fuck your going to say you lames, HAHHH this shit is FIIIIRRREE!!!!! It’s Drizzzyyy!
did Drake not get the memo that the freshman are supposed to go in on there debut album?? cuz Cudi BoB Curren$y even Wale all brought there A game. cmon now Aubrey
I am feeling this album, great album, the production was ht, especially on the nicki minaj assisted track, fireworks with miss keys was hot, lighters up with hov was amazing, karaoke, unforgettable, resistance, you name it, this is a good album and drake is no nursery rhymer!!!!!!!! he has earned my respect.
I guess when people tell the truth they are hating. People need to stop throwing the “hater” word around it’s really played out. I guess people were just “hating” on George W Bush when they said he was one of the worst presidents of all time.
real talk…..best comment on this site for a wile now……
but ain’t nobody give a shit homie, you wasting your time
this sites full of degenrate assholes
co sign both you guys tellin it how it is
REAL TALK: Wether You A FAN or Not… You Should Be Able To ADMIT, THIS SHIT IS GARBAGE!!!
REAL TALK: Wether You’re A FAN or Not… You Should Be Able To ADMIT, THIS SHIT IS GARBAGE!!!
WORD…STR8 GARBO!!!
It’s defiantly not a classic. I knew this would happen. Oh well, can’t wait till Kanye’s album drops!
kanye blows ass
his whole last album was auto tune and now hes exposed as a fuckin egomaniac monkey
i hope he goes wood too just like drake
he missed one crucial song…..’throw the jew down the well…’
lol even yukmouth did better than this nigga. im now sittin here laughin my ass off at all the stans that predicted that Thank Me Later was gonna be album of the decade and how it was gonna “change” hip hop. shiiit even lil kim bout to end this pussys career. hahaha!! drake fans stay takin L’s
The album is trash…just like the rest of Young Money! HOT BOYS > Young Money all day!
That’s why I did not rate that shit…It’s pure fucking trash and I am not a hater at all. I tried to open my eyes and give a good shot at the title of becoming a hot ass hiphop album.Not!!!!
Really enjoyed this album. Guess it’s not backpackish enough for HipHopDX… we’ll just wait for the next Brother Ali album to get a four X review. Step your game up!
Actually Backpackish Hip-Hop has always been Real,Pure,Raw and Uncut Hip-Hop…That’s what Hip-Hop always was and has always been…Drake is just corporate Hip-Hop…You know that “I better pray I make millions or else they’re gonna drop me from the lable? type Hip-Hop…Anotherwards, It’s just money Hip-Hop with the typical mainstream formula that has to be used in order to sell records or else you will be kicked to the curb directly back to the true grass roots of Hip-Hop that you call Backpackish where the bullshit dollars are not a concern but the culture truly is…
I like a lot of backpackish type stuff, but i like mainstream kinda stuff too… but Trizzle is right, HHDX jocks the shit out of any back packer “conscious” type of MC, and just overanalyzes and over criticizes anyone who get any exposure in the mainstream media, making them come off as haters half the time. To what Graz was saying, just because you’re on a major label doesn’t mean you can’t make real hip hop. I’m not defending Drake here, i haven’t even listened to this album yet, but having such a closed mind makes you a hater. In fact, I’m beginning to realized there’s nothing but haters on this site, hating on some sub-genre of hip hop just because it’s not the exact type of rap that you’re feeling. Also, i think you meant to say “in other words” not “anotherwords” because that doesn’t make sense.
I am a Drake follower and i am disappointed…HOW THE FUCK CAN U EXPERIMENT with your debut album!!! He is taking for granted that woman will buy his album regardless.He doesnt make music for all his fans.
i give it 3 mics
No Image No Gimmicks Just Banging Ass Music

Holla
we need someone to line up the jews and put them all in a training camp then burn them like we did before. all these faggot jew bags like drake and the executives run the music industry like they think they big, they aint so big wen we fucking shoot them down in a row. genocide V2 please!!!!!! espeically the canadian jews, we need to fucking kill all of their relatives and family too….get that trash out of USA !1!!!
A training camp? LMAO how stupid are you slickmike? a concentration camp is what your refering to. WOW hating on the jews cause they got money and run shit thats a new concept. JEALOUS ONES ENVY.
im not jewish and frankly i dont like many of them but i know a jealous hater when i see one. why dont you and your people work your way up to the top like the jews and knock them off the pedestal. so then they would be at the bottom bitching and moaning just like you are now.
Slickmike you obviously dont realize how diverse and multicultural the USA really is. Guarantee you that ur grand daddy was Jewish you jus don’t realize it. You are an ignorant peace of shyt. We need to focus on getting the scum of the earth like you and kick you out of the US.
And You Would Be The First One To Not Do Any Of That Stuff.
yo i don’t like dues music but yall need to cut that rascist shit out. that’s not a good look for us. what jay say “it’s benetton ad”
ATLEAST WHEN 50 HAD THE HYPE HE DELIVERD A CLASSIC ALBUM. BUT THANK ME LATER IS SHIT!
I’m also surprised that I give this one 2/5…
yo drake, please don’t call your music Hip-Hop, because Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, etc. do.
I agree 100%
“I’m 23 with a money tree

Like Jay say…
“I don’t 6e in the project hallway
talkin 6out how I 6e in the projects all day”
this is a good album for a debut hes still young hes in hes mid or early 20s hes going to get better at writing. and he should have came out with a double disc and it would have been a classic like all the pop and singing in one and the rap in the other. i admit some songs were wack but he had good songs and singing on some songs were unnecessary but he needs to learn when to sing and when not to. the one with jayz he got killed i mean who really can hang with jayz in a song without getting overshadowed gotta give him credit when credit is due it was a good album

OH YEAH, THOSE BROKE ASS RAPPERS HIPHOPDX LIKES SO MUCH IS 2 OF DRAKES GREATEST INFLUENCES FAG!! SHOW RESPECT TO THE CATS THAT LAID IT DOWN WITH UR HOE ASS!!!!!!!
Not disappointed I downloaded the album expecting utter crap
It’s not far off
DOn’t get me wrong a couple banging tracks like “Light it Up” and “Miss Me” were scattered around the album but i just wasn’t feelin it at all
I appreciate what Drake is doing fusing rap and r&B
It’s too bad he isn’t more talented in the actual rapping to be worth a shit
The haters are gonna celebrate as if Drake is anybody worthwhile hating on
They’re way more suckier and wacker rappers than Aubrey Graham
The difference is he at least tries to be lyrical half the time
lack of real talent ,substance and focus is what is killing or killed his expectedly short career
Young Money is tanking since Rebirth
this lp wasn’t any different
do you even know that semi-niccus a jew?
So if you don’t like Drake, you’re automatically a hater. Yeah ok that makes alot of sense. If I’m a hater b/c I think Drake sucks, then so be it. Drake tries to be lyrical, but it doesn’t work…he’s just like every other commercial rapper. Before joining Young Money he wasn’t bad, ever since joining he has completely sucked. I’ll thank you now Drake, thanks for proving me right…that all your hype was unwarrantred, that your just a gimmick.
Its funny, i knew hiphopdx would never give Drakes album above a 3 star before it even came out, i was hoping otherwise because its sad that this website which i visit often has just lost all remaining credibility in my eyes. Its now simply a blog, a childrens blog were bias and hate runs everything.
Welcome To The World After 9/11.
Thank You Drake.
And one more thing, this isn’t a review at all, theres no proper reasons why its bad or good, its simply a article thats trying to hide hate. The review, if i can call it that..actually looks very pathetic, its in no means professional and its equivalent to the kids on here stanning for other artists typing “this iz bullshitz”. Good job degrading your whole website, because i promise you, every proffesional reviewer, and anyone with a brain is going to read this review, and know instantly how much of a moronic hater you are. You deserve it.
Yawl need to direct your complaints to that Recovery album. Light Up kills anything on that cd.
BTW Lil Wayne IS THE BEST doing it right now and that includes Eminem wit your mad asses. Yawl are stuck on some old school tired shit.
Drake’s album is what’s up.
You Know How You Can Tell That People Are Getting Dumber? Remember That Chocolate Rain Song? Everyone Was Saying That It Was A Hot Song Though Smart People Knew It Was Retarded, Had No Message And Was Just Utter Garbage.
This Is What The Industry Puts Out Now. Chocolate Rain Albums.
it couldhave been better but it was nice . he lacks wat he had in his mixtapes like so far gone n before . hes not making music from his soul but for his pocket . hes becoming too much like wayne n loosing himself ..
thats what happens wit all the rapperz
hes been a shitty clone of wayne from the beginning, a piece of shit corporate manufactured jew lol. fuck i didnt even know this cripped kid was a jew till i saw some comments today, everything makes sense now LMAO
this is a good album for a debut hes still young hes in hes mid or early 20s hes going to get better at writing. and he should have came out with a double disc and it would have been a classic like all the pop and singing in one and the rap in the other. i admit some songs were wack but he had good songs and singing on some songs were unnecessary but he needs to learn when to sing and when not to. the one with jayz he got killed i mean who really can hang with jayz in a song without getting overshadowed gotta give him credit when credit is due it was a good album..

but the pussy dont faze me
his cock is blazin ( no homo)
i be where the gayz be
gettin my dick sucked
his lips is precious
like the girl from precious
LOL @ these closet homos coming out. Since when did drakes poppy album for teenage girls become a “solid album”? I listened to that and it sucks, the racist comment are going a bit too far but I can get why people hate this drake guy, hes a closet homo like most of his fans(at least the guy ones). The bottom line is if you’re a guy and you like drake, I’m expecting you to have a boyfriend that you hold hands with.
Only time I’ll even listen to this bullshit is if I’m with girls, but usually Lady gaga and ne-yo and other pop shit works for them! Rather that then this crap.
@blue34 You know what it is. This music is for my niece, not for a grown azz man. I wouldn’t have an issue wit this dude if he would just re-classify his genre to pop/RnB.
JEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Great album….quit hating
Two terms that I think are way over-rated are ‘hater’ and ‘that joint go hard’. How is someone a ‘hater’ forgiving honest feedback? like Common said, ‘just because I said it’s wack doesn’t mean that I’m hating’. If you wanna talk about ‘hardcore’ or ‘going in hard’ (no homo), there’s plenty of rappers who do ‘go hard’ on a beat and make you feel like smashing something because the energy the song gives off is so potent.
Thank Me Now is the best joint on the album imo. The other joints is cool if you want something to play at a party to get the bitches stirred up but it seems he spits the same ‘struggle’ on every song about how those who doubted are hating on him and he’s the greatest. Shit was dope on Successful’ and even ‘Forever’ but how many times can you rap and sing about the same thing over and over? Drake can definitely spit and I hope he’ll eventually be the rapper he wants to be and not what he thinks the people want him to be. Whether you call it hot or garbage, Drake still doing it big just by keeping his name in people’s minds, so you gotta give him props for that.
“…and i hope he’ll eventually be the rapper he wants to be and not what he thinks the people want him to be.”
couldn’t’ve said it better myself homie….
anywho,
CHECK ME OUT. I PROMISE GREAT MUSIC. IT’S A PROMISE!

Common actually said “If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hating”, just saying.
But I actually agree with everything you said.
i concur with everything written. the kid oversaturated himself and pretty much drained himself out. one has to admit, however, drake has given us a lot of FREE music that has been great, including so far gone… so, its quite hard to a. put him in a box, and b. not like him as an artist. holistically, he’s not as consistent as jay z, nas, kanye, but i GUARANTEE his next album will undoubtedly be a classic.
anywho,
CHECK ME OUT. I PROMISE GREAT MUSIC. IT’S A PROMISE!

eminem’s just leaked its sick he went off hes right on point it its an instant classic wow im listening to it!
Who is Eminem talking about on his new album?
Go to
http://www.myspace.com/ibaronline
to find out!!! Listen to “!”
probally the most overhyped flop ever , this album has no substance
it all sounds the same . him whining about a girl ” drake failed
If Drake was the best new artist a huge company like Universal could choose to get behind, then Hip Hop is in big time trouble……..God, I hate to think what we’re gonna be left with in 5 or 6 years, Jay is 40 and Nas and Eminem are both close to it, when they call it a night, whats gonna be left???
I DON’T KNOW DRUCIFER I DONT KNOW (head shakes)………….
Drake definitely isn’t one of the best new artists today…he’s one of the worst along w/Nicki Minaj, Waka Flocka, and OJ da Juiceman. He’s better than them, but Drake aint got shit on J.Cole, B.o.B, Kid Cudi, Fashawn, or Freddie Gibbs
You I guess. Think about where we stand in time. Think about “the others” lmao
Haven’t hard the album yet but I’ll give it a four cuz I know I’ll like it. But damn if an album by one of the most talked about names in hiphop right now that has a score 2.5 gets 800 + comments…. Then recovery will mostlikely crash this site lol!!

PAY ATTENTION NOBODY WANTS THIS ALBUM TO DO GOOD CUZ YALL STILL RIDIN LIL WAYNES DICK AND JUST JUMPED ON KANYES CUZ HES BACK TO RAPPIN
the only songs I can handle are the ones with features. Luckily Drake got THE most expensive guests possible.
fuck yall racist bitch’s this shit go off go suck jayz’s dick
Typical hate for Drake. No vision on this site for genre-blending experimentation; god-forbid an artist push Hip-Hop in new and uncharted directions. High culture used to praise and respect artists who brought a new edge to their medium – instead now we tear down people for trying to be different and bring a new sound.
There’s no disputing that Drake came with a cohesive vision, one that he executed admirably and creatively. His talent is the sounding board for the style…and this whole album is on point. Plain and simple.
dope ass album in my opinion. I question the explosion noises on karaoke tho, sounds like some shitty fruity loops noise.
alllllllll this damn drake hate ill never get it. with the exception of 3 songs ima give it a 5 cuz i downloaded 3 tracks that didn’t make the album, uknow uknow, july and bollywood flow. and whats wit the racism its like nobody nos jews and blacks went threw the same struggle. yikes niggas hate jay niggas hate ye niggas hate cudi wale big sean cool kids kids n the hall bob and so on and so forth who the fuk do yall like hell i bet when curren$y blowup or wiz or stalley blow yall will hate them 2. seem 2 me its a buncha angry pussys on here who in fact need some pussy. imean honestly the music is better now then it was 5 to 6 years ago
totally agreed!
Man damn them racist ass people its 2010 didnt learn then wont learn now probably never will……..sigh wished the moderators would do something about this stupid shit.
Oh yea it would have been 4.5 but thanks alot haters 5 STARS!
horrible
Boring….
So honestly, I wasn’t really checking for this album back around “Best I Ever Had”, then I became a fan(ish) on “Forever”. I thought “Over” was dope, I loved the anthem lead single, always a good move to get them soldiers marching. “Find Your Love” is probably my favorite track (Kanye guided him well there), which is funny considering I hate that he sings so much, and on every hook; like is this hip-hop or r&b now-a-days?
Anyway, “Miss Me” missed the mark for me, especially that crush on Nicki Minaj thing. Then I heard the leaked “Fireworks” track and I thought that was pretty lame and corny, but the beat was very intelligently crafted with the kicks acting as firework blasts in the distance. Then I heard even more leaks of a very unmemorable “Unforgettable”, “Fancy” was lame and kind of out of place with no direction & “Shut It Down” was also blah.
Then Drake drop the 9AM Freestyle, I was leaning back towards (kind of) copping this, and then they said it’s not even going to be on it, and now it’s a bonus as if it’s not good enough for the regular tracklist. Then probably the best rap track I heard him on another dope Kanye track “You Know, You Know” and I thought ‘surely, some good hip-hop shit like this is going to be on the CD!’, No. WRONG!
So the whole album has leaked now, my favorite track is a “love/hate” relationship, the dopest one isn’t on there and “Light Up” which is dope, doesn’t even have the best verse on it; Wanye really went crazy on that one to be honest. I won’t front, I’ll probably end up copping this, but it’ll take a few months, and probably not before I buy Kanye’s disc first.
the original ca$h money roster needs to reunite. ok maybe not UNV but the hot boyz n big tymers is what got em there..the current roster is garb
I couldn’t hear shit i was too busy farting
oh my bad it wasnt me it was the album
I think DX got this one wrong.
Come on DX 2.5? this album is at worst a 3.5 or a 4.
forgot to rate
DX Was WAY off with this one. The album is very good.
You gotta be kiddin me!!! Had a big gulp of Hatorade this morning? Look how u rate all these lame boring sounding underground releases that would have been played out in 98 and give Drizzy 2 1/2???. Gotta admit it aint SFG, but a great first album that lived up to my high standards! Didnt Universal shell out some banner money for dx or wtf is wrong with yall? Fucking hippocrites! There is one of yall (meaning an mcee with underground and semi-conscious roots) who blows up big and all you do is hate!
WEAK AFTER ALL THE HYPE THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE GOOD MUSIC. FUCK IT ON TO THE NEXT.
how the fuck they gonna rank yukmoutth better i fckin hate people hatin ass motherfuckers
MEDIOCORE HIS MIXTAPES SOUND BETTER HIS VOICE IS ANNOYING NOT HATING BUT ALBUM AIN’T ALL THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN MAINSTREAM RAP
DX hit this right on the head with their review. I know all you people love drake and the kid does spit, but be real, So Far Gone is killin this album. Both albums are filled with r&b tracks, but i would so rather ride out So Far Gone then this shit. His singing is so below par for a r&b album, and his lyrical game (on this album) was so just barely average. It was not a smart move on his part to get everybody in the game that could eat him on every track. Like seriously his only good songs are the ones people feature on, and he gets sonned on every single one. EVEN NIKKI MANAJ ATE HIM!!! Hov went ham on Light Up, and Wayne went dumb on Miss Me. Even T.I. ate him with a average verse on that Fancy track. Drake will one day be one of the best but its gonna take a little longer. He has said plenty of times tho he is droppin his album for the hoes, so they got what they wanted i guess. But i was truly disappointed, i thought it would be finally a lyrical album to ride to. ALBUM = DISAPPOINTMENT…… BUT I STILL RIDE TO THIS SHIT THO
There were some good moments in the CD, but it had to many bad moments that overshadowed it. Love song after Love Song! Sounded like a OG Ja Rule LP smh
okay something needs to be cleared up, some of you are right, you have the right not to like this album and that doesnt make you a hater but what MAKES you a hater is coming on here and ripping this album apart! if you truly don’t like drake or this album, thats fine, just DONT COMMENT ON IT!! THAT MAKES YOU A HATER if you deliberately take time out of your day to talk shit and tear down an artist…if you feel the desire to rip someone apart like this then yes, you are a HATER, why not go comment on something else?! something u like!

for balance
He only been in the game thirty minutes, so he got enough time to redeem himself….I feel like this could’ve been better. In my opinion his mixtape So Far Gone was better than this. I think he is very much needed in the game right now and the closest thing to hip hop we have in this world of “stanky legs” and “daddy strokes”. I applaud his talent and effort. Just wasn’t what I was expecting?
ive heard em all, bt ima drake fan.. i love his slow paced shit too… a milli n a week, i bought 3 copies
The problem with you Drake fans is even is this was a bum ass album ya’ll would still support it. Im not a Drake hatter, i actually believe he is a good rapper but i was even expecting something better. oh, and sales=popularity not talent. I dont understandb why all yall drake and weezy fans always talk about sales like you getting a cut of that money.
HipHop DX isn’t the only site that is giving Drake’s album 2 1/2 or 3 stars.
The Album Was Really Good, the Only Problem I Have With It, Is I Hyped It To Much, My Expectations Was To high, And it Came out And It Was Jus Good Compared To the Shit Rappers it Have Out Today, Drake Has Lyrics, He Aint No Nas Or Jay-Z But He Has Lyrics And I Just Tink Yall Should Jus Give The Album A Chance And listen To It, Its A good Effort From Drizzy Drake.
Whao I mean Just whaoooo if I never knew the Power of Hate!!..now I know ..who ever conducted this review EATS,SLEEP,SHIT,BATH,FLOSS,WEARS ,PROCREATES..HATE!! Damn 2.5 like cmon I not the biggest Drake fan but ..f*k outta here with this review ..the album couldave been better ..but its still a Decent album ..it grows on you ..at most the album should get a 4..its wayyy more listenable than the **GARBARGE ALBUMS** been put out
solid album but boi-1da who does most of the production fucking sucks balls and recycles half of his beats,
lyrically this is some alright stuff drake definitely has potential to be great just get rid of boi1da
FIRST OF ALL FOR ALL THESE DUMB MOTHERFUCKAS STOP CRYIN’ AND HATIN ON SHIT LIKE THIS IF U WANT 2 MAKE AN ALBUM BE MY FUCKING GUEST LETS SEE GOOD THAT WORKS OUT 4 U. SOME DUMB FUCKA BROUGHT UP LAURYN HILL BUT UMM NEWS FLASH THAT IS OLD SHIT MUSIC LIKE THAT GOT MORE PLAY BACK THAN OF COURSE BUT NOW HE KEY WORD HE IS MAKING MUSIC LIKE THIS IN OUR DAY AND AGE WHERE WHEN U TURN ON THE RADIO ALL U HEAR ARE DUMB ASS DANCE SONGS OR SOME LAME ASS GUCCI MANE AND FLOCKA. AND THATS PROBABLY WHY SOME OF U MOTHAFUCKERS IS MAD BECAUSE GUCCI AND FLACKA ARE WACK AND THE MUSIC YALL BRINGING UP IS 2 FAR BACK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR OF TIME. MOVE ON. NIGGAS TALKIN BOUT DICKRIDING DRAKE. NAW MAN ITS JUST GOOD 2 SEE A SUCCESSFUL PERSON LIKE HIM STILL SHOWING EMOTION IN HIS MUSIC AND HIS HUSTLE SO U GOTTA RESPECT DAT AND A LOT OF U DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE HE ISN’T THE BEST RAPPER BECAUSE HONETLY EMINEM OR ANY OTHER RAPPERS WHO CAN REALLY SPIT WILL TEAR HIM APART. HE IS A GREAT AT WHAT HE DOES SO IF U CAN THINK OF SOME BETTER SHIT DEN SHUT DA FUCK UP AND WATCH HIS ALBUM SALES BROKE ASS NIGGAS
well said.
the album is shallow you retart he has no emotion or feeling in this album. he dosn’t SHINE! get it throught your thick head.
fuck HIPHOPDX FOR DELETING MY COMMENT FUCK YOU FAGGOTZ.DRAKE SUCKS DICK
This review was on point, and no Im not a Drake hater, I like him (when hes not just singing on a record) but only four tracks were good on this , Fireworks, Up All Night, Light Up , and Thank me Now.
Wales album and B.O.B’s albums were better
DX rates Yukmouth a 3, and Drake gets a 2.5.
I have officially lost all respect for your rating system and your site. El Che gets better marks than drake. wow. This is pure fucking non sense. I was born in 1980 and i grew up listening to hip hop.I been there with the good and the bad. This album is at least a 4. 3.5 at worst. but 2.5. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
Tha rating on DX is a user rating… meaning its what people on the site voted… Alot of people on these drake stories seem to dislike drake so thats where tha 2.5 is comin from..
Pelvissimo, you dumb Italian, DX rating has nothing to do with the peoples ratings, genius. The peoples rating is rite under DX’s

Break it down then. Don’t just say it’s the worst, explain what you think you understand.
You prolly just don’t understand what he’s talkin bout mane!
nikka don’t you have drake’s name can’t you give the man some support those lyrics you just wrote was fire wtf are you talkin about
Most of the haters on here aren’t even comprehending Drakes lyrics let alone Jay Z or their beloved Eminem’s lyrics. Yawl talk big game about what you want and don’t want to hear in hip-hop but you fools are too caught up in imagery to even catch what your favorite MCs are actually saying in their songs.
Let the rappers rap and you “fans” sit the fuck down and listen instead of popping off at the mouth about absolutely nothing.
i understand jay z and eminem lyrics…. i can’t understand drakes lyrics becuase they have no meaning
@ccccc
what the fuck meaning? you dumb as hell all his songs have subjects and hes addresses them go back to english class
SINCE WEN DID WE LET DIRTY CANADIAN JEWS RAP????????????????????????????????????
BURN THE JEWS!!!! I START THE MOVEMENT AND LETS START WITH THIS FAGGOT AFRO JEW THE DRAKE FAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck outta here mane!!!!
All of yawl are familiar with FLOWS and not the content of the lyrics. The best MC’s like Biggy, Nas, Jay Z, Eminem, Tupac have both qualities going at the HIGHEST level. I’d add 50 cent to that list if he would broaden his material because the man’s talent is undeniable. But it’s IMPOSSIBLE to have an intelligent conversation about hip-hop on this site.
Drake’s flow has room for improvement but by no means is this dude garbage, fuck outta’ here with that. This album works and Light Up is one the hottest songs out right for those who can only digest “traditional rap” music.
I agree!
real sh-t i like this dude no homo thats whats up i totally agree
this album is garbage. 100 % pop and r&b
R&B is beautiful music homie. What do you know about that?
Most of the greatest albums ever created fall in the pop catagory from Elvis to The Beatles to Michael Jackson to Prince.
R&B got Marvin Gay, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, BoyzIIMen, etc.
If Drake is pop, so be it.
so why does he claim to be a rapper and not an r&b artist?
I like the album it’s entertaining and to me he followed his mixtape formula. It’s not great but good. Production is on point lyrically he’s the same as he’s always been. Yeah he sings on the album too but he’s always done that I fail to see what’s the difference between his album and anything else he’s done. Lauren Hill he’s not but Drake he is and I think that’s all he’s trying to be.
100% Co-sign.
Album has a lot of room for improvement but I still think it is a good one. I really think its a 4 but I gave it a five to balance out all the haters.
This album is great.
If Drake is pop, the this is some DAMN good pop music!
he’s good and he got some punch lines but I’m a fan of word play I guess it was so hyped up i was expecting something on the level of the blue print, or marshal mather lp, or as good as the underground like chino xl, or crooked I, or tech N9ne

This is good but not great. True, Drake had a lot of hype coming into this ablum. And he had trouble balancing between rappin and harmonizing. But you can tell he does have tremendous talent with a lot of potential for growth!!!! Hopefully Drake’s next go around, he’ll be able to put it all together.
But don’t be no fool, Drake does have a few cutz!!!
This album was good…not great…but good…i’m not too much of a fan with the r & b…but its good to see that he TRIED to be versatile…only problem is that he is in the league of J. Cole, Wale, Kid Cudi, Lupe, etc…and well…their shit was more interesting to listen to (maybe not soo much kudi..but still). He has time to grow…and he will probably be pretty damn good in a few…but…he really missed the opportunity to show why HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ON THE “FRESHMAN CLASS COVER” of xxl or whatever magazine that was. J. Cole’s album is gonna wash this album out to sea…if J. Cole gets more of the “mainstream” buzz like Drake then Drake is really OVER.
how in the world are you putting lupe on the same list as wale j cole and cudi? lupe has already established his name in the game with 2 classic albums you cant put them in the same league bro.

when i say “league” i’m comparing age-wise/style-wise/content-wise…they all have a diversity about them…(non-overly-gangsta/trap this trap that/bang bang shoot shoot etc etc) but not necessarily the same skill levels…i wouldn’t say put them in the same league as…gucci man/oj juiceman/wacka/souja boy/etc (drug this..drug that…ak this ak that. etc etc)… …obviously lupe is light years ahead of him…but still falls into that 21-28 yr old rapper bracket…but we’ll remove him off the strength that I by no means think SKILL wise they are in the same league…
The best Rapper ever,Hands Down.
people seem to forget pop music means “popular music” if its a #1 hit song or #1 album its POPular music. whether it be T.i, 50, kanye, wayne, hov, britney spearsm christina aguliera, or alicia keys. a piece of work automatically labeled pop doesn’t mean its garbage it just means its popular amongst the world.
drake nice ! but im waitin for Kanye to save the day drake was a warm up gettin us ready for yeezy!
Drake aint no warm up, Drake ass, Kanye and Eminem are the best 2day, those albums they dropping will be the shit.Nicki better than Drake, she killed him on that up all night song.
Drake has a nice feel to him. the album coulda been betta and like someone stated in a previous comment SO FAR GONE WAS BETTER. but Drake has lost the thing that got me hooked on him his originality. also his arrogance has put himself on the downhill by speakin to highly of himself and who he comparin his album to. Drake seems to conform to whoeva he on the track wit he begin to sound like them, but he is jus gettin started he will turn it all around for the better
AFTER A COUPLE MORE LISTENS..THIS ALBUM GOT EVEN BETTER..WHO IS THIS REVIEWER..AND WHO R U LAMES..R AND B AND RAP ARE SYNONYMOUS..GET OVER IT..ITS THE SO-CALLED HIPHOP PURISTS THATS FUCKIN THE GAME UP..U HAVE NO EARS..U CCANT COMPREHEND DIFFERENT SOUNDS..EVERYBODY SHOULD NOT SOUND THE SAME..AND NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR NIGZ RAPPIN ABOUT NUTHIN OVER GA-BAGE BEATS…WITH THAT SAID ANOTHER ONE OF THE “SELF PROCLAIMED” BACKPACKERS ALONG WIT KID CUDI..HAVE DELIVERED JUST WHAT THY SAID THEY WOULD…HITZZZ…IF U THINK SOFARGONE IS BETTER THAN THIS..UR OPINION IS BULLSHIT..THIS THE SAME SOUND HE HAD ON THERE..JUST SAY ANYTHING WIT NO BASIS TO SOUND IMPORTANT..THIS IS BARBECUE..SUMMER..PARTY SHIT…GET A LIFE…
0 out of 5. Ill just wait for Nicki Minaj…
The album is pure heat!! Do you fools listen to the music or just skim through it????? Even his R & B shit is nice, I like his versatility.
this album is junk
If you guys this this album isnt better than so far gone you guys need to get ur ears checked!..theres not one bad track on this album and if you guys are complaining about him singing..i can see where your coming from with that, he kinda over did the singing part. But you cant say the songs are bad, they arn’t amazing but to say their bad is just hating on the dude. He was trying to be versatile, how many niggas in the game do u know who can spit a verse like he can AND sing on the hook? thats right not many.
Im not trying to say this album is a classic or anything, but it damn sure aint as horrible as all you guys are saying. I believe its a solid album, but nowhere on par with eminem (recovery). That album is rediculous.
Overall, most of the people on the site are guys that like HIP HOP..but this album is a mix of rnb and hip hop, so the guys who dont like RNB cuz they think their too gangster to listen to a dude sing, yall just dont know how to enjoy good music straight up. All you guys are saying this albums shit no ones gonna buy it, but i bet ALL yall girlfriends are lining up to buy that shit today. The versatility displayed on this album is only gonna help boost his sales cuz not only guys will be buying this shit, but your girls will be too. So dont hate, this album is gonna sell 500k+ first week, and you can quote me on that one.
peace.
Actually i know one person who can spit a sick ass verse and sing the hook pretty tight too…Chamillionaire, who has been spit back into the underground and is hungrier and spitting sicker than ever the last couple years, but nobody @ HHDX gives him any play, they’ve been sleeping on him for years now, even though he put out some of the best mixtapes of the last few years, namely Mixtape Messiah 4 and 7, and one of the best tapes of this year “Major Pain” that this sight never even mentioned… check em out if you ain’t heard them… only if you’re prepared though because he actually tries to say some shit on some of his songs.
Drake Has Versatility
Since When
He Always Sound The Same
Get Em Outta Here
Listen To Sum Real Rap
I would of gave it a four honestly, but the majority of HHDX hates Drake.
Man the first time I heard it I was kinda disappointed but that was cuz it wasn’t what I expected, But hear that shit the second time around … THANK ME LATER is motherfucking ridin
Im a Big drake fan and Loved the album its my kind of album just some deep shit ths my kind of music
Hate: I hate this album drake sucks he is the worst rapppper EVER(before hearing th album)
Dick-rider: Best rapper i lov eevery song (before hearing the album
Opinion: i HONESTLY JUST DID NOT LIKE THE ALBUM im not a fan
wish people wrote commetns basd off that
How in the world has this received over 900 comments?? Where are all these people when other releases come out? GL to Drake, hopefully he will live up to the hype.
Eminem “Recovery” is better. Drake album is alright. Its just didnt live up to all that damn hype. Forget Nikki Minaj. Eve would eat her up any day.

I would give this 4 1/2. This is a very well made album. Soothing and something that you can listen and ride to. I dont feel like killing anyone or bashing anyones head in , haha..the beats are good, the songs are all well made. Def worth the money.
Overall I think Drake’s album was decent. I feel because of all the hype he generated people expected more. I appreciate that his album is different from others, but i was just expecting more. I think he is a good songwriter but lyrically he is just not there yet. If it was more rapping on the album maybe i wouldve liked it more but people have to understand that this album is marketed to “WOMEN”..Women buy more albums and go to more concerts than men. Drake is smart to recognize his audience.
Hip Hop DX are fuckin Haters!!!!!!
Lol, anyone who doesn’t like Drake’s album is an automatic ‘hater’, lol, Drake fans are gettin mad emotional over other people’s opinions. How are heads who don’t care for the album ‘hating’ on him? I can see if niggas was wishing bad shit in his life, but not liking something, makes you a ‘hater’? Lol, all y’all gotta do is keep dropping 5 star ratings to boost up the overall rating.
At one store (which will go unnamed), it looked like every copy was on the shelf. Even the Plies CD looked like it was selling. I don’t know. For all of Drake’s supposed talent, his mainstream success might not be such a slam dunk.
Who is Eminem talking about on his new album? Visit my page and listen to the advice track “!” to find out!!

THIS ALBUM IS STRAIGHT WOLF TICKET. DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM IF YOU WANTED TO HEAR HIP HOP, FOR IT IS NOT HEAR. I’m tired of hearing flows tainted wit bitch lyrics, so let me make this clear, no hater drake is no Ryan Leslie simply because Ryan Leslie can sing, his production is tight, and we knew his a singer first before we knew he had skills, now drake:
1)Production is weak
2)Wack ass hooks
3)His so called Rnb songs is written well but sung horrible
4)And last but not lease there no substance and any of the (rap) songs
production is weak???
Boy 1-da will be the biggest thing coming.. faget dont know hip hop
classsic fuck yew haters been playing it since i got it
CLASSIC HAHA YOU GAVE IT A FOUR AND WROTE CLASSIC IN YOUR REVIEW HAHAHAHAHA
HipHopDx,
I was a devoured fan of your site. I usually go to allhiphop.com and thisis50 and also hhdx (mostly). After seeing this review i am turning in my boots and giving up on HHDX forever.
The Washington post, Rollingstone, and AllHiphop.com and many other credible sources have TML a great review. I don’t see how HHDX has such a change in taste. of course you have ppl who don’t like R&B and bash Drake to death, but I expected HHDX to have an open mind about music. 2.5? really
Fuck you HiphopDx
-KidWithKlass
fall on something sharp. Hip Hop dx is the only site keeping it real and the truth hurts for you.
why is drake rating so low God knows this nikka needs a 4.5 this site is making me feel like they are full of bullshit
Y’all are confusing the f**ck out of who this album was meant for. Even Drake himself has stated several times that this is not supposed to be a grimey rap record.
No, I’m not on Drake’s d**k but it’s pretty clear to see that this reviewer is biased in some way shape or form. If Kanye pulled this s**t (and he did, 808’s & Heartbreak) he’d be getting 5 stars by the hundreds.
When you guys praise certain Lil Wayne albums and destroy albums where the person might actually be able to sing, it makes y’all look like a bunch of assclowns.
To each their own I guess, peace.
co-sign
Exactly. If Kanye did this album or Jay-Z it would easily get 4-5 stars. Nuts.
Word. The difference between Drake, Kanye & Wayne is the fact that Drake can actually sing. This sure as hell ain’t a rap record but is one dope ass R&B one. It’s alright though, I’m just gunna quickly browse all your 2 star reviewed albums and download em cause their probably fantastic judging by this sh*tty review.
don’t ever group Kanye in with them two wack ass fucks. can’t you see who has real talent. fool
2 outta 5 loll i’d say 3 at least but yeah it’s a total disappointment….
fuk dis nikka flop!
i would give it a 4.75 if possible…just finished listening all the way through…only songs that were out of place was karaoke and cece’s interlude…other than that shits hot…people seem to be hating on the fact that he doesn’t talk about guns and selling drugs but to each their own i guess
nobody wants the listen to shit about guns and selling drugs fakkit. the album is a letfdown he dosn’t keep it real he seems phoney.
I am very disappointed that anyone can even defend this album. The production on half the album was questionable and if it werent for drake’s bars on the songs, hooks + features … we should all be talkin’ shit.
you can’t produce heat-rocks and create this buzz, then turn around and have a lump of coal in my ride!!! Drake we get you — you are a different breed, he’s mixed hip-hop w/ more R&B cause that shit sells. But someone please explain to me how songs like “Karaokeâ€?!?
Drake — take our advice. You should have switched the title on your debut cd to “So Far So Gone†and your last mixtape to “Thank Me Laterâ€. Two polar opposites!!!

There is nothing wrong with this album… sorry, I dont understand the low rating at all
nothing special. very overhyped
what ive learned from lisetning to this album:
Drake is rich
Drake is Famous
Drake life is hard but in a my wallet is too big to fit in my pocket kinda way
Drake can’t handle success
wow what a classic!! get the fukk outta here. lol
haha that made me laugh, agree with u
Preach my brotha.
There are metaphors for the na-sayers like your self but your too stupid to see thru the lines…
Hip Hop is for the open minded not blinded go listen to some new dance type shit because you dont get the meaning of lyrics! All you fools that are wanna be’s
I been listening since 1987 were you even born? I been to every man artist concert includiing Pac and BIG what have you done or seen or even watch evolve?
Fagets
OG T-BONE
believe me im very open minded mybe even more so then you.
but the fact is the album is shallow to me. im just being truthful. theres nothing genuine about Drake. sorry. just my opinion
wack sauce
This review was exactly on point!! If your mixtape was better than your actual LP…then u dropped the ball. I was lookin foward to this droppin..but turned out to be a major disappointment…
He incrediblely overthought this LP…this is manufactured commercial bullshit. he found his self tryna please everybody from “hip-hoppers” to “teenieboppers” and succeeded with a half-ass album. congrats! thanks in advance
Im giving it a one because i expected amazing and its average…..
I’ll admit it, my album is plain awful.
Solid album, don’t understand what people were expecting that they didn’t get from this album. Its not great but it is deserving of much more than its been rated. So instead of giving it 4 X that its worthy of, I’ll give it 5 just to balance out all the bullshit ratings.
once people get over that he isnt the next coming of Biggie or tupac (who is) they will see that this is a good album, consistent with the songs he been putting out all year. everyone expecting Illmatic and Reasonable Doubt? WHY? Thank me later is a good debut from a artist. 5 X’s
rating it a 5 because of all the haters posting it a 1 star. and saying em, bob album is better.
its called thank me later because once you actually listen to it and not being biased against the man. your gonna appreciate it. yeah not every song was good… ill admit but damn the rest is sick.
so far gone beat it because he used songs that already existed and just added his interpretation to it. its a lot easier. and it has more songs
this album deserves at rating of in the range of 2-2.5. i can understand if i was a girl, i would probably be more into the album but im a guy, so that album really doesn’t speak to me. i’ve tried, but i just can’t seem to get into it…
Because your not confident in your manhood???? Cant speak about relationships and life evolving???
Fuckin tool!
c/s he can’t craft great storytelling songs when talking about relationships and problems.
man this is some shitty ass work.
If you have skill, but your production is weak, its a half ass album, then you add on the fact that this nigga tries to sing on everything, oh and he can’t sing either. fuck is that? Look no hater but bullshit is bullshit , you can say that his different, you can say that he’s a talent lyricist, but you can’t tell me his mix tape ain’t 5x better then his solo debut. How you going claim you the realest but all your song are directed towards females, I’m confused.
Thankyou for speaking truth, this guy and all these new rappers are bullshitters who contradict themselves. Just cus you different dont make you good, or cuz you weird or cuz you call yourself and artist you gotta go hard and earn a listeners respect, and if a nigga test your skills dont just call him a hater or be snobbish and claim you dont have to defend your art you gotta rip a nigga on wax thats why most of the early 90’s rappers and Jay and Nas and Em are considered legends no matter where you rank em’ and why niggaz be hesitant to throw in the waynes and the yeezys because they never attack the rappers that go at them they just call em haters refer to their money and claim to be a bigger man. we need some real rappers to weed out these sucker mc’s
i give it a three i mean yea itz drake a wonderful artist but i jus felt he played it safe n played himself by doin that take when he dropped so far gone itz wuz da illest artwork i witnessed in a long time then u look at thank me later n it doesnt compare to so far gone im not sayin repeat da mixtape but u need to atleast go hardder than dat 4 a debut album when i listened to the album i jus said dis ish should been on a mixtape…smh sorry drake but it wuznt worth da wait SO IMMA THANK U NOW LOL
THATS WHAT YALL GET FOR CROWNING HIS ASS. YALL EXPECTED ILLMATIC AND GOT WHEELCHAIR JIMMY INSTEAD. ITS A SOLID ALBUM BUT ITS THE SAME MIXTAPE FORMULA. HIS SONGS AREN’T GEARED TOWARDS HARDCORE HIP HOP FANS. I DIG HIS SHIT. HIS VERSATILITY AND NON ONE DIMENSIONAL SUBJECT MATTER IS REFRESHING, JUST NOT THIRST QUENCHING, YA DIG! TOO MUCH HYPE CAN LEAD TO DISSAPOINTMENT. YALL WANTED GATORADE AND GOT PRUNE JUICE INSTEAD!!
Wah-Wah
All you morons that are too insecure about your manhood cant listen to albums with real life meaning like Perserverance,Relationships and Success need to go back and learn a new dance move from one of your wack Gucci,Souja,Vicc CD’S because this one is for grown ups.

Dude uses metaphors its not literal you morons!!!!
I have been in the Rap scene since 1987 and I know whats good and whats fake Drake is for real. I have scene every Iconic artist live including PAC,BIG,Jayz,Nas,Wu-Tang,Outkast,Redman,Lupe,Eminem,Snoop,Cube,DRE,DMX,Busta,Puff and the Fam,Bone,B.o.B.Ice-T just name a few and Im tired of you young bucks acting like you know hip hop …..

dumbass
“there metafors” ur are stupid as fuck we know he aint literall its just that his metafors are real weak no substance
now tell me if u such a fan of hip hop than why aint u upset that this garbo got a deal and niggas as good as joell ortiz doesnt get play???
why cus of stupid niggas like u and other idiots dick riding drake and holding him up to a fucked up pedastol of good music!
STFU OG T-Bone, I been skimming through the comments and who the f cares if you been to concerts or when you were born, that doesn’t make you more qualified than someone else because of your date of birth. You talk of manhood and insecurity but you seem to be the one insecure…every time someone gives their opinion of the album and it’s an average CD rating you feel the need to defend. It’s a music site, people are going to write reviews you may not agree with, that’s life, something you should have learned in all of your “wise years”. Here’s a tip, get off HipHop DX, copy the Drake CD to cassette so you can play it in your aftermarket cassette player for your GEO and try and pick up girls in the Taco Bell parking lot, unless you feel the need to defend every review you disagree with about Drake on DX some more…oh and don’t forget if you write back to call me a “faget” as you so eloquently sign your posts with.
dude calm down
you sound like a gangsta blogger
how is this real life?
how does he represent your life or any of us
he is a rich kid who is complaining about the fame, money, and women
woe is me i cant find love even though i am a rich superstar(this is me playing the worlds smallest violin)
cmon most of us are just trying to make it through the day let along week
we are struggling in a recession and some rich guy is complaining to us about how great he is how rich he is but yet…im so all alone.
get off his sack and take his dick out your mouth or ass because he dont compare to pac or any other old school artist you named
co-sign SMOOTHDUDE2002. Drake raps about being embarrassed to drive a Phantom, and “oh no, i could literally pull ANY piece of tail ANYWHERE I go, boo hoo!” how in the fuck is that “real life meaning”?
also seeing a bunch of big ticket acts live doesn’t make you real, or even really knowledgeable about rap. it just means you have a disposable income.
pretty decent album. i agree with some ppl there shoulda been more rappin then singin but he did do this to market for girls who luv drake and support his album so sayin this album is garbage is just dumb
good review.. no way this album’s five.. it’s a 3 at most.
his next album will be better i’m sure.
.. but i’m only giving it a one because it’s more hooks than verses, he didn’t live up to the hype and drake needs bad ratings to step his game up.
I never really was a big fan of Drake to begin with… this album sounds like the album kanye west wish he would’ve produced when he put out 808 and heartbreaks. too much damn singing. he has nerve to give that title to his first album… HIP HOP AND R&B DONT MIX. Stop it! its killing hip hop. i understand why people would jock this album, tho. its cuz the radio station will play his songs til our ears bleed.
and i wish Swizz Beatz would stop trying to make us really like that FANCY song… its gay. stop it. that song makes me think of him and drake prancing around in the studio wearing heels with their right hands limp.
GARBAGE!
I give it 3 mics on my first listen through. I didnt not like any of the Songs, but I probably wont listen to any of them repeatedly besides Show me a Good Time & this other song that reminds me of my girl. Good Production and content but overhyped, only girls will actually go and buy this (glad i downloaded), & the concept of tormented fame is great for this Album but Hopefully he’ll be able to diversify his content in the future. I felt like I was listening to “Successful” for 12 tracks straight with none of the songs Actually being as Good as “Successful”. (and 2 or three Best I Ever Hads, which again, none of the songs were as good as the template) So Far Gone was way better and it was just an ep smh.
I know how to appreciate quality and diff. music tho, It’s pretty good but nothing SPECIAL. the main thing that holds this Nigga back is his LYRICISM WHICH HE HAS NONE OF. ” Got these nigga nervous…prom night” & these sorts of punchlines are GARB and thats all he does. I mean really? Stick to the Anecdotes Drake your WAY better and more creative at those.
I’m pretty satisfeid with this album, I don’t understand what more people expected. Drake stated that the album was going to be in the vein of 808s & Heartbreak and that’s exactly what we got (that album wasn’t recepted well upon it’s release either and now it’s changed hip hop and is regarded as brilliant by many critics). There aren’t tracks that compare with “Best I Ever Had”, “Uptown, or “Man of the Year” but track for track I’d say Thank Me Later is more solid than So Far Gone and Comeback Season which is a sign of improvement for Drake. It deserves 4 X though I’ll give it 5 X to balance out the unfair rating. I’m really digging the production style on this album…Kanye and Timbaland had some sweet beats. Lyrically, Drake falls short as there aren’t sick hooks and punchlines like “Money to Blow”, but the atmosphere and production style really do it for me and most of the tracks are good especially “Thank Me Now”, “Show Me a Good Time”, and “Find Your Love”…thus, 4 X.
(EVERYBODY SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! A STAR HAS JUST ENTERED THE ROOM)
Look lets get down to the nitty gritty
Drake is a very talented artist the arguments of him being wack should have been put to rest when so far gone came out……..thaaaaaaaat being said
This is not a very good album i am sorry when a guy says first name greatest last name ever then all of us should expect more from him thats a fact
But i am glad Drake’s album didnt sound like i expected it to sound i was expecting a game changer ex. 50 cent-get rich or die tryin, eminem-marshall mathers lp, lil wayne-carter 3) and the reason i said that is because if this album would have been like the ones i just named every artist would try to really copy off of drakes whole blueprint. dont get me wrong he is going to have a good first week but the field is still wide open for someone to come in and change the game.
Some of yall on here need to just concede the point this album was okay but if you had a choice of buying a sandwich or dropping 16 for this cd(most of yall bitch ass drake fans bought the leaked version anyway) you would pick the sandwich
Drake has just in my opinion broke a cardinal rule of music dominance
When the spotlight is on you. You have to deliver the best possible music of your life something timeless a classic and this was not it also you have only one time to make a first impression and he fucked up royally…lol
Interesting, but I think Drake HAS ALREADY changed the game…not in in the form of a proper debut album, but with the So Far Gone mixtape & EP. And he’s non stop…he’s delivered more hits in one year than most rappers have had in their entire careers.
haters stop hating its a classic jus a little to slow it 4 star album
Eminem is the token a white rapper only because he lived through a struggle and pulled himself out of it like a man, and it we felt that. but other than that its a black sport and to be a great rapper with longevity you gotta give us shit we can relate or we can feel’ whether it be street life, college life, or just plain getting by while trying to make it big. Drake provides none of this and really as i guy who’s been in a relationaship for 3 yrs and only 21( for two weeks now) its not as stressful as he makes it seem. also its a known fact that rappers that make music just for women dont last long like ever. ex bow wow, romeo, lil zane, llcool j( the buff 35+ year old ll who was trynna swoon our moms and shit), yung berg etc. drake doesnt have anything to offer and as lovers of hip hop we dont owe the guy a second chance niggaz don’t feel him and even if girls do he wont last(anybody who has been with a girl know a girl seen a girl smelt a girl or heard of a girl know that they dont really know what they want) And to justify his album by saying that he is targeting woman is completly disrespectful to rap, rap is not for just one sex its for all sexes and Jay,Ye,Lu,Big,Pac,Nas,Pun,Kast made records for the ladies but niggaz loved them too and there regular hits were felt by all people because it delt wit shit we been through. and for niggaz sayin he dont rap about the same shit as other rappers he references cars, clothes and hoes and cash in every song and hoes and bitches and weed the nigga just failed. Niggaz can say ima hater but i like rap that sound good cause rap aint like other genres its my genre i gotta feel it on take one i shouldnt have to listen to a billion times before it gets stuck in my head for me to think its aight nigga its rap that real black music nigga.
word
wow hiphopdx yall r a bunch of faggots, the 90’s are fucking over so stop comparing every single album to “real hip hop”
when are people gonna stop being pussies and except that rap is different
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HIP HOPDX WILL RATE AN ALBUM SOLEY BASED ON THE ARTIST.
lil wayne/dark young money type artists, 3 at the most
new eminem albums 3.5 or 4 (recovery should get a 4 at least)
if its an underground artist, either 3.5 or a 5, its never any different…
the more succseful an artist is the less hiphopdx will rate it…
the less known artists will always recieve at least like a 4
bunch a pussies… OMG NO STORYTELLING, RHYMES ARENT 18 SYLLABLES ITZ TRASH!!!!!1!!1!! THIS ARTIST STYLE IS USED ON EVERYONE OF HIS TRACKZ NOES!!!!!11!!!11!!1!
“rea hip hop” fans are wackkkkk
you have to listen to everything, not just one set genre in order to make good reviews faggots
ur 12yrs old and 100 yrs gay
go get jiggy wit it bitch
I second KJK…ya’ll are faggots. Drake is trash..come up with something worth listening too..not autotune fag shit
i noticed this too
You most be dumb, you sound like one of my students who don’t understand real hip hop because the word play is to complex. Hip hop dx is right the albums is OK it’s not a classic its not even his best material. The Dizzy effect and so far gone where better across the board. I no why you are upset you like wacka flacka flame and frenchy thats true hip hop.
you’re a dumbass. if dx rated based solely on the artist, rhymefest probably would’ve gotten higher than a 3.
So do you keep your Drake cds ontop of your hillary duff cds or under your justin bieber cds? I bet you like the new boys too right? Eh i think i hear your mom callin, i think its bed time pussy boy
interesting pt I agree that most wayne jams are always avg 2 the ppl that rate it no matter wat. all underground guys r sick and get top ratings although 90 percent of them never will b really heard. this able is not horrible. its not amazing. theres some jams on him. hes not a ganster and he doesnt claim that. but then all u guys hate on the guys that r like wayne, game, jeezy n the numerous others. if its not jay z tupac nas biggie or ti its all shitty. but those guys appeal 2 every1 and anytjhing they put out is fire right?
this was the worest review ever every song up here is good if not i will no longer look at the reviews here Andres Vasquez fuckign sucks at this period ho,ie u need to get a new job i hope u didnt get paid to write this
4 X album period….most people are just hating on the dude of course, which Drake predicted would happen anyway.
This dude has talent. If you post negative comments that hate on his abilities as an artist or to the album, you are either deaf or musically incapable to judge. You probably have nothing to show for yourself.
He’s a new artist that will evolve into something special. Thats why brilliant artists like alicia keys, eminem, jay z, lil wayne have supported – to be part of something good.
Just a question…Is this the most commented reveiw ever? Shit almost got 1000 comments in 5 dayz…BTW its an OK album, but a disappointment as far as im concerned. This shit dont even compare 2 So Far Gone.
lyrical hip hop comes from pain, and poor drake just doesn’t have the equipment for it. this isn’t a class swipe, either: you don’t have to have clawed your way through the hell of the ghetto to make good rap (thoroughly middle-class kanye knew he couldn’t really claim to have fought his way out of poverty, so he drew us into a personal interior battle with himself that was just as compelling). there are lots of ways to express struggle, but my problem with drake is that he seems to have a sound-bite approach to pain: he’s saying all the right words and doesn’t seem to mean any of them. drake simply hasn’t had much of a life yet, or if he has, he can’t or won’t communicate it. he’s talking about how horrible fame is on his VERY FIRST ALBUM… what does he plan to rap about for the rest of his career?
AYO….HOMEY SHIT IS FIRE. DUDE DROPED A “DRAKE” ALBUM. AYO!!! THIS IS MY WORD, I PUT THE CD IN AND LET IT RIDE. OF COURSE WHILE SIPPING DAT CIROC (RED LABEL) WITH RASSBERRY JUICE WIT A SPLASH OF 7UP (FOR DA HEEZEZ OF COURSE) NAWMEAN. SHOUT OUT TO THE DUDE. GET DAT MONEY!!

this album deserves way better than 2 stars i sense a bit of bias here…this is a good album lyric wise, production wise, i will say theres a couple songs tht i dont really fuck with (find your love, tht karaoke jaunt) but other than tht its a solid album…too many ppl hate on him for being a “commercial rapper” but he addresses shit like tht on “show me a good time” dude gave a shout out to DILLA and “the resistance” is good shit too…but my favorite has to be “THANK ME NOW” the last track on the album…STOP HATIN’ ON DUDE AND GIVE HIM A CHANCE…LISTEN TO HIS SHIT THOROUGHLY BEFORE HATIN’ ON HIS MUSIC…
The only thing it was REALLY missing was the undeniable smash hit. We need to stop looking for absolutely everything in one artist. Let Drake do Drake. If you’re not a fan, keep it movin. At least he comes off honest
Cut the kid some lack yall lol …..the album isnt bad….is very “hip-pop” and it better than 90% of the other albums out there right now

I agree with you man, most of the albums that are dropping these days are trash I’ve been bumping Drake’s album. Who Is really rating albums these days? This Is the hottest album to drop since Hov!!!!!!
Great album. Top 10 of the year so far. Don’t like it? Keep moving.
Obviously you dont know much about hiphop to even consider this piece of shit worth buying. Who brought u in to hiphop, diddy, master p or was it jermain dupris? Bottom line, drake is just a former child model and actor who got lucky, his shit is so pussy, its not much different than aaron carter, or even bow wow. Sorry homie, real heads know what im talking about
Bonkeira…I’ve seen about 50 replies doggin drake…if u really hate this dude or his music y in gods name do u spend so much time on this review hatin…really likego somewhere with all ur hate..its not even nessescery..its funny tho cuz u have no life….LINO got it right tho
find your love sucks as a song and the video is straight TRBL!!! you aint no dread your from canada!! trying to shoot an ill video ur lookin all brand new in the hood of jamaica gtfo with that bullshit looks faked and forced…some rappers can make ill videos of shit they obviously wouldnt actually be involved in but play it off this shit straight looks WEAK…cant judge the ALBUM tho i havent heard it…
i fux with drakes hooks usually but dudes got no lyrical skill and his punchlines r HELLA CORNY
DRAKE IS FOR KIDS….NOT FOR ADULTS…AGE RANGE LISTENING TO THIS IS PROBABLY 12-25
18 and above is a adult..pure trash statement.
I’m 22. This shit ain’t for me. 12-15 more like it.
Call me ova rated or too Jayeded, either way i made it YUUUPPP!!! hate on hater, i bet u still listen…..lol
This review is RIDICKULOUS! It is no album of the decade, nor the strongest hip hop album but cmon… I would never put Drake in my top 10 MCs list but I would put him in the top 10 ARTISTs list. Cuz that is what he is – an artist.
This review is trash!!!!!! this album is fire! What were u expecting Drake is not a gangsta rapper! This is his kind of music! 2 stars give me a break! i got it and have been bumpin it since so. Whoever wrote this review is def biased.
Ok DYELON, HOT FIRE. This album aint even worth the plastic it took to make it. Are you sure you didnt cop it just to get in some bitches pants?
he is just the new will smith of the game…. except it time has changed
I like the cd but i think its the group he is in. young money is all about makin that money which drake has enough of. before he got signed with young money he was makin songs that everyone could bob they’re heads to but in a way now he fell off on that. I respect drake alot because he is one of my favorite rappers so far, but it is his first cd so ill cut him some slack but second one he has to bring that fire. my opinion though get off of young money.
this album is straight trash. these people wouldn’t know good lyrical ability if it kicked them in the face. like c’mon. he is wack and garbage and he is for the teenagers and females that don’t pay attention to lyrical ability. plain and simple.
people been hearing dudes like soulja boy so much recently they think that anyone with an average flow is the next best rapper alive. give me a break.
That’s the truth right there !
love it or hate it its still an obsession…. lmao— if your going hard to hate him, it makes u sad b/c ur still giving him relevance when u want him to die out and if u love him keep prepping for ya boy- all he said he wanted was an album the fans liked so he could make a second cd and based on this response- pro or against, a second cd is a definite guarantee… so congrats on the first drizzy, and just continue doing you and growing
Its an obsession with sounding gay. This dude is a poser and dogshit like this is why the real mcs don’t get any play. He just slapped this piece of shit together just to sell records. There’s no originality, skill or credability to anything this pussy spits. Fuck this bitch made rapper. He’s an embarassment to Toronto Hiphop
ight you’re entitled to your opinion but why sound so angry…. like when u sound this angry you can be characterized as nothing but a hater… n he doesnt give a F**k about haters so…. have your opinion cuz at the end of the day while some may share your sentiments, the one who its aimed at doesnt care and so to go so hard is completely unnecessary…
it was a good album but its just not living up to the hype. he and other shouldn’t of set the bar so high because if there was no bar set it would of been wow this great but I was left feeling like this is it? this is what we waited for? I mean it was good just not great and epic like thought it would be or led to believe it was going to be.b step your cookies up drake you better than that.

Yeah I agree that Drake set the bar ridiculously high…I mean his more recent verses & hooks on We Are Young Money and Priceless were phenomenal, not to forget all the other features he did like “Say Something” w/ Timbaland and “Make it Go” w/ Belly…should have saved more of that for this album, but you gotta suspect that wasn’t the style he was going for on this album. Nonetheless, it’s a good album but not timeless classic like many expected. I ain’t complaining, I like Thank Me Later. I trust that Kanye will live up to expectations this year with Good Ass Job b/c he has never NOT made a classic.
Kanye is real hip hop head and has classics. Drake isn’t capable of that.
The guy is making music that he likes. Lyrics make me feel like i noe the doode forreal. DOPE BEATS.

Draje is a talented young entertainer he has too much expectaitions though trying to be the best in the entertainment bizz. he wants to rap but yet he wants to sing. yea rapping and singing go together but its hard for the artist to focus on both if he wants to be the best. with that said this is a great album if you like pop music yea there are a few good rap songs but he took the pop route. maybe if it was the glory days of hiphop like when there was afrikka bambatta and sugarhill gang this would be a gold album. but on the other hand it could be in the making of a classic and this album is his stepping stone.
classic nonsense.
Call me a hater if you want, but none of his Thank Me Later album is fucking with his Room For Improvement mixtape, that shit was real hip hop and who he wanted to be, Young Money got him all fucked up. I just got finished listening to that shit and that joint is way better than this Young Money bullshit. Hope Drake does a 360 and gets back to his roots.
IM A REAL BIG DRAKE FAN. NEVER SAW HIM IN DEGRASSI BUT BEEN FOLLOWIN HIS MUSIC SINCE “ROOM 4 IMPOROVEMENT” & IMA ADMIT, THIS ALBUM IS WACK. DISAPPOINTED. I ONLY LIKED ABOUT 4 TRACKS, TOPS. SORRY DRAKE, BUT B.O.B’S ALBUM WAS WAAAAAYYYYY BETTER. BOTH IN QUALITY & MUSICALLY…EITHER WAY, UR STILL GOING PLATINUM THO. WATCH
TCK22, I appologise if i hurt your feelings, i understand that little girls have their crushes on certain celebs and i’m sorry for that. My little sister loves justin bieber and i admit that i should’ve thought about that before i started cussin off drake. I promise from now on when i talk about fake mother fuckers, im sorry, FAKE DUDES, who call themselves the greatest ever, i will remember that there’s kids in the room, and that children can’t stand haters. I give you 5 Xs for honesty, and honesty takes alot of courage, have fun at chucky chease
Damn, unnderground rappers must be getting hype as if Rome has fallen and the world is up for grabs seeing how many of y’all think Drake has fell off….at least this adds some excitement to the hip hop game.
Nah dude, Drake may have put out a crappy album, but as long as monied interests control public discourse in entertainment he’ll be kept relevant for a few years just like Ja Rule was.
MTV and z100 are like Fox News. They’re medium sized outlets that constatnly spew idiotic opinions until eventually larger media outlets stop ignoring them and start giving them credibility.
Fox News saying Obama is a fascist=MTV saying Drake is the GOAT
As a real hip hop fan and musician, I checked this album out for a coupla reasons: one, that I’d been really diggin’ the stuff off of Drake’s previous mixtapes, and two, to see what the fuck all the hype was about. This CD gets two stars in my book. It’s like, Drake had put all his hottest shit out there BEFORE his label debut! He should have saved most of that shit for his debut-it would have had a bigger impact. I’ll see what the next CD is like to decide if he is either all hype or just getting started. All I can say is…i’m glad I did not “buy” this…hint hint
yeah i agree. he had some hot joints like light up with jay z fireworks wit alicia keys but honestly u have to know how to keep joints to urself from time to time. songs like i want this forever and fear, sooner than later, lust for life, would have all took this album to the next level but he passed them off. he didnt do a bad job on his album it was pretty good to be honest but honestly it could have been better. he get at least 3.5 stars for it. i applaud his effort though.
One of the most disappointing debuts since Canibus!!! Drake sounds like a whiny fuckin’ teenager looking for love. The problem is Drake has no pain or real issues to deal with. I guess when you grow up rich you’re biggest problem is worrying about what happened to your high school jump off. This album sucks!!!!
Agreed, man. All he can really talk about at this stage is the girls he been chasin’ , being played, or the dealing of fame and success. He didn’t come from the streets like a DMX or Pac-he was born wit a silver spoon in his mouth, so he don’t know what it’s like to come from nuthin’ and to have nuthin.’
Will Smith grew up rich too but at least he was being himself. Drake was dope when he dropped his 1st mixtape, but this new shit is teeny bopper music. I see where you coming from though, with his new shit, he makes himself seem like he’s been through so much pain when really he’s just throwing out punchline and metaphors. That Cold Winter joint he dropped is better than all his new shit imo. That Room For Improvement is who Drake really is, Thank Me Later is who he thinks people want him to be.
His album is spectacularly unimpressive. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. I think it’s mostly because everyone has anointed this kid as the next “great” thing, it’s almost as if everything he puts out needs to be fire. And it’s just not there.
Oh and just because you don’t like or support his music doesn’t make you a hater. And it’s stupid to think so…everyone has an opinion of everything and you aren’t automatically a “hater” just because don’t like someone.
My prediction…Drake is the next LL Cool J. talented with a very strong female base, and constantly trying to be “hard” to pull the male demographic.
word to that..LL reached legend status through longevity though … till will tell for aubrey
15 year old girls = this is hot 4+
anyone else = HOT TRASH
which one are you?
I WISH I COULD GIVE IT A 2.5 SO IM GIVIN IT A 2 CUZ FOR ITS HYPE THIS WASNT ANYTHING WHAT I EXPECTED HIS MIXTAPES AND EP’S WHERE BETTER THAN THIS HONESTLY IF HE LEFT YOUNG MONEY AND WENT TO DEF JAM AND GOT KANYE TO PRODUCE THE WHOLE ALBUM AND WORKED WITH BETTER RAPPERS THAN WAYNE LIKE NAS, BIG BOI JUELZ HE CAN WORK W/ SOME DOPE SINGERS FOR HIM TOO FOR HOOKS (NEYO, RIHANNA & JLO) BUT THAT WONT HAPPEN SO….. 2/5
this shit sucks. Drake’s over rated
Thank Me Later has been growing on me a lot actually…..”Miss Me”, Unforgettable”, “Karaoke”, and “The Resistance” have been really catching on and are just a few of the songs that keep me going back to the album. I predict this album will be similar to 808s & Heartbreak in that it initially received a lot of backlash upon it’s release but in time came to be praised by critics.
TRUTH.
He sounds like a Lil Wayne copy.
You’re right. It’s amazing how it’s ok to bite other MC’s styles these days. This copycat style would have never passed in the 80s or 90s.
more like thats his own style and lil gay i mean wayne copies drake. i hate both them niggas but i hate wayne the most, he dont even write his own lyrics.
ive listened to this album and i get wat the “haters” are saying about it, but in my opinion id have to giv this album the same rating as eminems which is a 3/5. when i lisen to recovery i like the lyrics, cus eminems lyrics are da shit but when i lisen to TML its all about enjoyin it, and i really enjoy it. Drakes no em, no nas, not even jay, hes just drizzy whos lyrics and beats are good enough to enjoy and lisen to over again which i wont wiv recovery cus not all the songs are enjoyable but are strong lyrically. TML aint as good as So far gone but i expected that nd i aint dissapointed
i’ve listened to the album at least 3 times.it’s good but nothing great though.i like miss me,light up and over.i expected more with all this buzz.
In about 5 years if hip hop goes downhill this might be a classic Lmao !
I feel like the album didn’t live up to the hype, but the music he did was different from the usual mainstream music out today. He didn’t rap about trappin, or did a corny dance move, he just rapped about himself. And whether or not you feel or can relate to what he said, it doesn’t matter because at least he’s being true to himself and making music he feels is good, and that’s “realer” than most other hip-hop out today. This is coming from a dude that still knows “I Ain’t No Joke” from Rakim off by heart lool.
What the fuck is real hiphop anyway? since when could music be fake? People should at least notify a nigga when shit like this gets declared.
Its a debut album, its not like he’s lil Wayne or Jay-z, So yall stop complainin….its good, shoulda been better, but its good. It has bad album track order, but its not too bad
how did nas and jay-z become who they are, great debut albums. the hype was unjustified maybes its not his fault but he didn’t meet the expectations. You’re on the clock Drake.
Peep the “real” Drake fam!, if u love slum village, dilla….hot shit….http://www.myspace.com//drakeone
Album was trash! You have bias fans and you have true hiphop fans such as myself. For the people out there who say this is a good album or better yet a decent album, they don’t know what quality hiphop is. Keep it real, album is gabage.
real talk. he sold out faster then anybody i know. keep it real at all times.
Damn man, ya’ll beatin this album to death over here
I aint like it either but jesus………Drake is kinda like the new Nelly to me, I never liked his shit either but I’m not bothered by it, like I wont buy a drake CD but I wont necessarily change the channel if it comes on the radio………Drake being as hyped as he is bothers me less then most because at least he’s not fuckin stupid, like a Gucci Mane or most of his labelmates………Drake is one of the few rappers on the radio these days that comes off like he knows how to read, thats gotta get him a lil bit of a pass……..Just my opinion on it
i like your assessment
Garbacious…dude has decent lines, but the more I hear him; the more monotone he sounds.

Raw and Uncut
I was expecting this kind of a review from DX, but everybody has their own opinion so I won’t get on them about that. I actually think this album was great, a good way for Drake to start his career. However, the dude kinda disappointed in his lyrical delivery especially since his delivery on his last two mixtapes had been outstanding to me, but this album still brought that same raw honesty that I was digging in So Far Gone and Comeback Season. A lot of old heads probably don’t like rappers putting all their vulnerabilities on a track and unleashing their emotions onto the public but I personally think its refreshing. The guy doesn’t claim to be something he’s not, and he puts on a track anything that he is feeling at the time. However, I really think the dude needs to do some soul searching in an attempt to expand his subject matter. He ain’t no J Cole, that’s for sure.
The abundance of singing is something that I completely dig about Drake and was what I embraced with open arms on this record. Dude can sing, period. His ability to put together hooks and intertwine singing with his rapping is something that takes talent to do, no matter how much you want to deny it. He makes HITS. I was digging the few R&B tracks on this joint (although Find Your Love took some getting used to) and that cut with The-Dream is ill. Something to play when I’m kicking back with my girl. Beats were knocking for DAYS. Drake has something special in his engineer, 40. His beat selection for this album was pretty much perfect to me.
This album is the shit to me. I got it on repeat it in the car with the case right next to my Distant Relatives and Reflection Eternal albums and the CD hasn’t been back in the case since I bought it. Not a classic hip-hop album by ANY means but it’s something that I can enjoy without skipping tracks which is unusual for me. Solid Album, 4/5 stars. The only reason why I gave it 5 stars above is because the aggregated ratings are ridiculously low. Damn, do people really dislike this album that much? Who would you rather have at the top of the charts, Drake or Soulja Boy? That’s what I thought.
raw as hell ya dig young money

ADD LISTEN LEAVE LOVE! AS DRAKES SAYS FIND YOUR LOVE AND LEAVE IT!
Drake is a cool dude , he is not tryin to be what he aint.
My kid loves his music and my girl do too. Why hate on this guy he stays in his lane.
Come on dudes stop hatin.
the only songs I like are- up all night, fancy, light up, and maybe unforgettable.
Hiphopdx and Andres Vasquez are hating!
How many times have you heard TML?
Albums dont sound that great 3-5 times..
After that they grow on you, then you give a review!
Wow….This review is a diss-appointment not TML!
If it has to grow on you than it must not be that great jus sayin
word i agree wit TQ… all great even good albums catch ur attention from the get. if i have to listen to an album 3-5 times in order to like it than it didnt do its job… i should be able to pop it in and bumb and vibe to it. so you just gave a perfect reason why drakes album ISN’T that good lmao
I think VIN was trying to say that the album sounds different (bar structure, singing, the chorus, low key beats) but its still good music. It just takes you a few times to listen of the entire album to appreciate his style of music and moreso the album!…that is why is called “thank me later”…..
(ex. his single “over” was a different sound after hearing it first but the more you hear the song…you might have liked it)
weak album nothing special just alot of girl talk
classic
HAHAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA….
Itz good. 808 & Heartbreak kinda shit but I like it. Keep doing it to em Drizzy
Awful! Was this his love cd? It sucked.
………I liked a few of his songs before but DAMN nigga! This shit here!??! You rappin for that Degrassi crowd!
PEOPLE HATIN THIS MAN BECAUSE THEY FEEL HE DIDN’T HAVE A STRUGGLE TO GET WHERE HE IS! YOU HEAR OTHER RAPPERS SPEAK OF HOW HARD IT WAS TO BREAK INTO THIS BUSINESS. IT WASN’T THAT HARD FOR DRAKE BECAUSE OF HIS BACKGROUND, AND CONNECTIONS HE HAD! ME BEING AN ARTIST I CAN APPRECIATE HIS MUSIC. HE HAS THE RIGHT BEATS, AND THE DELIVERY TO COMPLIMENT THE BEAT. SO WHAT THE BROTHER DIDN’T COME FROM THE BRONX, OR FROM DA MAGNOLIA PROJECTS IN NEW ORLEANS. YOU CAN’T DENY THE FACT THAT HE IS A TALENTED WRITER AND I WISH HIM ALL THE SUCCESS IN THE WORLD! EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINIONS, BUT TO SAY HE SUCKS IS JUST PURE HATERATION!
the album sucks ass because all he talks about its haters, girls love him, success and money! no insight on who he is or deep shit on the album at all. he played himself. the album is SHALLOW bitch!
On some real shit, you all need to stop hatin on dude. He makes good music. So what if he sings in his music, ya’ll need to stop being upset that you aint got the money that he does. No matter if he sings or raps on a song, he is steady making money. He is the future of hip hop regardless if any of you like it or not.. And his albumn aint that bad, i was actually surprised.. and if you dont like dude or his music, then dont listen to it, simple as that.. Why come listen to his shit, if you listening you must think dude is talented, or you wouldnt even come listen..
See i think i know why u all hatin on Drizzy… cause all yo bitches like dude.. haha
stop hatin
Don’t be a dick ryder, his mix tape was way better but don’t assume he shits gold bricks cause of it.
right!^^^ on sum real shit just you, u needa jump off dis boys dick dis is an album review page me and id like to think(and u have to assume until u have actual proof dat shows otherwise) listened to the album and are giving our opinion and review of the album dont get mad cuz almost everybody says its wack, if dats wut ur really into jus find some actual good rappers to dick ride instead
If we could do half rateings then I would give this a 4.5 but since I can’t do that it gets a five from me. To be honust with you guys I didn’t realy like so far gone I thought it was boring and cliche. I fell like TML is a lot more polished then SFG and sounds better over all. I’m not saying this album is a classic but it’s better than all the other bullshit that’s out right now. Also is it just me or dose drake kinda rap like jay-z on thank me now? It’s just his flow sounds like something I would hear from jigga.
Toronto we made it !!!!!!!!!!
ANNOYING! Album has no agression. His mixtape was 5 times better. And his voice is getting annoying everytime i hear it. And who told this high yella nigga he could sing.
ALBUM FUCKING SUCKS! THIS NIGGA GOT TO MANY DICK RIDERS!
Classic album by Drake,You niggas are haters,plain and simple
Classic album,Great material.This album is better than Tha Carter 3 for sure,best Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown artist period.
Drake is better than J.Cole. J.No isnt going to sale shit and you know it.Jay-Z is my nigga all day,and its Roc Nation,but Roc Nation has no credible artist who will sell records and become legends.Lil Kim,Rita Ora who the hell are they.
Never thought id say this but its Young Money right now that they got Cory Gunz to.
glad your the only one who feels that way
its YM all day.. call me a dick rider who gives a fuck. they make music i can put in my car and listen to.. Drake just put out a killer albumn, and for those of u who think that J Cole’s albumn is going to be tight you all dumb.. You ppl say sells dont mattter but think again.. Without sells, you broke.. Drake made an albumn and sild it, he is makin money and u all are hatin
Go buy The GZA: Liquid Swords album…..that is real rap music. drake is commercial water downed trendy cookie cutter radio garbage…..REAL Mc’s are Kool G Rap, R.A. The Rugged Man, Percee P, Bumpy Knuckles, and so on. Young Money is some bullshit. Die.
Classic ,CLASSIC,BETTER THAN Eminem’s Recovery album bullshit
um… no… this shit is boring
haha wow u compare drake (the guy that cant even freestyle) to eminems recovery. you must have low standards
Now on the song Fancy,i read the credits and i dont see T.I.’s name Clifford Harris in the credits of the songs,but everybody else who is featured on the album is credited.Now could Drake have written T.I.’s verse for him,or is it a typo?
GET THIS CANADIAN FAGGOT JEW OUT OF AMERICA!!!!!! WE NEEDA DEPORT THIS TORONTO FAGGOT!!! FUCK JEWBAGS!!! FUCK THEM CANADIANS DIRTY PIECES OF TRASH, IF I EVER SEE ONE IMA SPIT IN THEIR DIRTY SHIT FACE!
GUYS, WE NEED ANOTHER GENOCIDE, GET THESE DIRTY PIECES OF TRASH CALLED JEWS AND CANADIANS OFF OF HERE!! LINE DRAKE AND HIS FAMILY UP AND PUT THEM IN THE GAS CHAMBER, EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPIER!!!
I HATE CUZ THEM SHITS IS DISGUSTING GARBAGE…NOT EVEN CONSIDERED HUMAN. THERES A REASON WHY WE KILLED OFF 10 MIL OF THOSE JEWISH TRASH A WHILE AGO…WE NEED ANOTHER 10 MIL KILLED OFF!!
LOL this was pretty funny…ill admit jews are greedy and have lots of power, how else did wack shit like drake get pushed onto us?

Is this hiphopdx or shittyr&bdx?
Drake and Young Money suck dick. Wack ass niggas.
I LIKE THE ALBUM….
HITLER WASN’T THAT BAD CAUSE HE GOT RID OF THIS TRASH A WHILE AGO, BUT HE FAILED CAUSE HE NEVER COMPLETED HIS WORK! HE ONLY KILLED OFF LIKE 10 MIL OF THOSE JEWS, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE HAVE FAGGOT CANADIAN JEWS LIKE DRAKE TRYING TO RAP!
IF HITLER KILLED OFF ANY OTHER RACE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVIL, BUT SINCE IT WAS GREEDY DIRTY JEWS, HE DID THE WORLD A FAVOR! I RESPECT ADOLPH HITLER FOR THAT.
If you are over the age of 16 (which I really doubt) I feel sorry for you.
Find out who Eminem is talking about on his new album. Go to my page and listen to “!” to hear the lyrics that inspired him to change his whole creative direction!
http://www.myspace.com/ibaronline
not a Drake Fan by any means, but he gets “points”, even though he bit a line, it’s was Ghostface’s “Strawberry”… “5 and a half in boys, ass is off the hook, high school pussy, heard you got the best nookie”.. he surprised me with that on “Fancy”..
I agree wholeheartedly with

People need to realize what real
music is…Half of the people on here
cant relate to his “music”
Man I am sooo over Drake.
YOU SOOO OVER HIM??? YOU SOUND LIKE A CHICK FAGET!
Drake has alot of haters. I didn’t think the album was alllll that. but I do enjoy it though. Everybody who’s saying that he sucks and it was garbage however, y’all have to be more open-minded. Realize Drake is not trying to be like GZA and spit some underground hip-hop shit. Thats not him. You shouldnt expect that when listening to Drake. He does what he does, and he does it well, point blank period.
homie did what he had to do.. made money
i really listened to it too…….. total waste of life
its almost gold haters.

Im fucking christian, your living in the fuckin nazi past

Its ya own fault if you ad a personal experience where you found a jew is better than you at something
PUSSYHOLE
aye the shit was disappointing, but the hoes gone like it……if that was the plan than congrats….but hiphop dont play that shit he better come correct on album 2
Just read my stuff man, you’ll get me!
Garbage!!! the only song that’s hott is Up All Night other than that this is R&b this aint hip-hop…..Recovery’s way better than this shit atleast that has some depth
GarBaGe
not very good at all . it all sound the same and i dont like how he raps
he cant sing either
hip hop wise this album fuckin sucked, r&b wise this album is alright,good not great, j.cole is way better then this nigga
im not a fan of drake but i did give him shot and i knew he would blow it so out of all the new jacks in the game cudi is the only one to make a great album but that just how i feel
forgot about Fashawn proper debut album, Boy Meets World……………….
cant wait for Jay Electronica and J Cole albums………………….
Cudi is crazy hott that dudes album was one of the best this year period!!! however you can not seriously tell me his lines always make sense.
Its like Wale… fucking sick album i love it but however closely you listen sometimes dude just doesnt always make sense
another 808’s, can’t wait for Kanye to send a new/different trend… sing sing sing…
He made a good, catchy albumn.. I can sit there and listen to the albumn from track one to the end.. Thank me Now and Show me a Good Time are my personal favorites.. you all an hate if you want but my nigga Drizzy sold hella for his whole albumn basically being leaked..
The beats on the album sound like 808s and Heatbreak reject beats the Kanye threw in the trash.
This album is that trash.
To many cock suckers in hear hatin on drake jezz people if you hate the nigga that much go throw on Recovery and Jack off to Em bitchin about the same shit he always yaps about!! Smh all the faggits on here I’m startin to think y’all gay for Em or somethin.
man drake, look what youve done, weezys been gone for a couple months and your musics getting fucked up. like, the album is not reaally shitty, but very disappointing cause i know im not the only one that expected way more from you.
This was a let down. He just talks about HATER the entire time and how he made it, I get it, I got that on all the mixtapes and Young Money, I get it, you made it. This album was inconsistent and just boring.
Man you hating dudes need to get a fuckin life, it seems like every negative comment on here is because an artist doesnt sound like your favourite artist…ppl saying hip hop aint what it use to be, ofcourse it aint son times change its like saying jordans arent what they use to be dj’s arent what they use to be coz they now use cd’s, if yall mother fucker are only into your classic stuff then thats sound but dont come on ere moaning how you thought this was wack stay with your old school!!!
Drake is an ill emcee man period, he raps about and has allways rapped about where he is in life at that moment and how previous experiences in life affect his decisions today! i dont know what you expect from dude, he aint gangster, he was raised well successfull as a kid with his acting and has a real talent with this Hip hop AND rnb thing. This is what you seem to forget…dude game out first and foremost and expressed his interest in rnb his dad is a soulful musician and the way he has combined this together is a fucking masterpiece as far as ppl who are into both genre are concerned!!!!
Too say this sounds like 808 and heartbreaks as well dudes ears must of fell off time ago…nothing like 808’s!!
The guy who does these review seems to try and place every album he review in the same fucking category, its like when ppl compare b.ig to pac…dont do it…two totally different aspects of rappers!! If ya gunna start comparing then think about shit first. Surely you would have to compare b.i.g to big l, rakim to kool g rap, tupac to dre, drake to kanye. its logical thinking every artist is totally different, its like these ganbanging dudes or hardcore dudes coming on here hating on drake…dude he doesnt rap about anything you can relate to coz he has never lived his life like you!!!
Oh ye…im white, middle class, not a gangster but i like a lot of different hip hop artists and other genres… i hate ppl who stick to one genre, speaks for there personality str8 up!!
UK kid
I feel your point….But u gotta admit compared to all the other Artists hyped & unhyped (who just snatched the crown) being billed as “the next BIG thing” Thank me LAter is Mediocre at best as far as Debuts go….. There’s nothing groundbreaking about it. There isn’t even much for the audience to connect to by way of theme or subject matter….& definitely not by way of production. Drake takes us nowhere on his melodical journey…It does have a good sound & I think it’s a pretty good listen. But as far as classic debuts go….It’s pretty garbage. I wasn’t wow’ed on any of his tracks…I just hope John Wall doesn’t dissapoint as much during his rookie season.
Fair enuf lad… im just tryna say that its never gunna be seen as a classic debut in the hiphop world and he probably know that, he knows he got 12 yr old girls inging his songs. “the next big thing” is the hype that any artist with well listened to mixtapes is gunna have anging on him… i just dont get how ppl ever thought this was gunna be an epic HIP HOP album, i mean i dont really like thank me later, or cece’s int and am not a fan of find your love but as a fan of both hip hop and rnb equally i feel the rest of the tracks are on point, c’mon shut it down is a fucking genius track as far as rnb is concerned!! But one point i truly get from you mate is he doesnt take you on that journey. I was really dissapointed that there wasnt a real club banger on there coz i love a good club track n an album!!!
Just another point to these dudes saying guys garbage because of the fans he gets….. being from uk i only got into my hip hop at 12/13 and the person who introduced me to my first three albums was this fine girl on vacation she was 15. The albums were DMX its dark n hell is hot, Tupac All eyes on me n Biggie Ready to die does this mean they were garbage fuck i dont know where these guys come up with comments and tbh those albums still get a very very high play count on all my devices.
I do feel you tho THOROBRED
It grew on me. I was disappointed initially but it gets better everytime.
It grew on me. I was disappointed initially but it gets better everytime.
Distant Relatives!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nah Nas is cool,dont really fuck with Damienm marley,album is wack son.
Thank Me Later is better than Ready To Die,College Dropout,Reasonable Doubt,illmatic as fas as debuts go.
Not at all!!! It’s obvious you know nothing about Hip Hop. It’s way below the standards expected of him and those other debuts you mention KILLS his.
if you truly believe that ur not a hip hop fan
Gtfo you wish this scrub album could be compared with illmatic and reasonable doubt
STFU you dumb ass who knows nothing about music
Lmao!!!!!!…This Shit IS Comical!!!
Fuck, hiphopdx on some wack shit.
Two and a half stars?
Kay come on. I know it’s not as good as the So Far Gone mixtape, but please.
They’re hating for no reason.
This is retarded. If it was all that bad, it wouldn’t have almost gone gold in the first week.
But, I must admit I don’t care for Fancy… Ahaha. 🙂
Idiots. I’m really starting to dislike this site.
HOTNEWHIPHOP FOR LIFE.
This album is a classic, way better than recovery.
i wouldnt say better than Recovery because both are dope but different sounds
Album of the year, drake gonna win big at the grammys

not someone who post on anything but there is pure hate in the blood of some. the only song i don’t like is fancy and I’m giving it a 5 to balance out the hate. alot of people catch feelings in regards to drake the person but how can you deny his music is quality, at the very least appreciate that he is an artist and an artist in the true sense of the word.
Lyrically sound, but did not give me the wow factor, production was monotone and very similar through out. 1 or 2 tracks can be deemed as good and thats about it…
I didn’t really enjoy Drake’s album (it doesn’t have longevity IMO), deleted it off my hard drive already lol. guess it’s because I like Gangsta Rap more than R&B. But, I think Drake achieved what he wanted, which was to make an album that was a reflection of himself. Nothing was impressive about the album, but it was good. No, it didn’t compare with Ready To Die or Illmatic, but that’s because Drake doesn’t fall into their category. This is an album for Pop and R&B lovers.
Lookin at the track listing, there was 6 songs I really liked, everything else was ehh. But 6 outta 14 ain’t bad for an average listener. Regardless, he’ll sell well, and it’ll have platinum status before the year is over. MAYBE lol
i really enjoyed this album… no its not So Far Gone but it brought me back to that time when it dropped… i have been a drake fan since like 07 so for him to finally have a album drop i was pleased… to be honest i set low expectations for the album because i thought Young Money was gonna be all over it and it was gonna be SHIT but in fact was the opposite and sounded more like So Far Gone and more hip hop than i expected… kudos to Drake
I’ve been a Drake fan since i was deployed overseas. I was able to download So Far Gone and listen to that a lot. I thought TML wasn’t as good as SFG, but its still a really good album. there are a couple misses like too many features and the Sade-esque Karaoke . But I’m also an R&B fan so it might be for everyone. But still a dope album overall.
wow…didn’t know so many people hated this album. personally i loved it, he delivered what i expected and more. the beats were brilliant too…idk why ppl hate them. Just because the style is different doesn’t make it horrible. Don’t forget that Kanye, Swizzy and Timbo contributed some amazing beats. and the features did pretty well. My opinion though. Peace.
I like how you only mentioned how his “beats” are great and nothing more…. because we all know that everything he says is pure garbage. And I also like how this album was everything you had expected….because I’m sure you really must have some low expectations.
Seriously though….do you really think that rap is just beats?
wow…didn’t know so many people hated this album. personally i loved it, he delivered what i expected and more. the beats were brilliant too…idk why ppl hate them.

Drake has a good ear for melodies however his ability just cant make it work. His flow on every song sounds damn near th same and gets repetitive but he does kno quality music and his lyricism aint half bad ( albeit not Eminem lol)
not worth buying . this album sounds like garbage . not 1 song standsout
The album wasnt the best collection of music, but you hating right now, the album was easily a 3.5 – 4
this album is a classic. everyone should get this album now.
the shit plan out the shit
This is wat i expected from drake hes no eminem or nas or jay z he is a punch line rapper that sings from hearin so far gone u sould already kno wat his album gona b lik but i think drake could be better because songs like say u will remix shows me he got more
I like this more than I thought I would, as I had trouble enjoying Drakes voice before this album. Some good production and guest verses help me feel this one.
awesome album. one of my favorites
Not really a hip hop album imo. a good album non the less. I honestly still prefer So Far Gone And Comeback Sessions to this. but it’s a descent effort. the production is probably the best of the year. Boi-1da did an amazing job on the production side.
Mannn i expected soo much more from Drake than this. After hearing his mixtapes, i really thought he had potential to be a pretty insightful rapper. This album fucked that up for me. He’s a pop rapper now, it’s all about the GIRLS and the money, this definitely is not a good hip hop album. I mean he reflects on how fame’s changing him and all and how he’s not used to it which is cool, but to talk about it as your one serious theme for an entire album and expecting to be acclaimed is an extremely hard task. But he couldn’t have done it with all the talk about gettin girls and fallin in love with them and money, that just fucked everything up. MAn this guy is just as cliche as most rappers out today, he’s not doing anything special. He started off with hip hop mixtapes, and everyone was expecting another insightful one, and now he’s almost singing throughout half of his debut album. Like i don’t mind the singing, but he definetly shouldn’t classify himself as a hip hop artist if this is what he’s gonna be putting out. The guy had a lot of room to grow, and definetly had a shot at being a pretty decent rapper if he talked about more intrapersonal and serious topics. I guess when the fame got to him, he became a shit rapper, or a singer, hope he just doesn’t become like akon. that’d make toronto look like shit.
but yahh production was pretty kickass, just hope drake can work on lyricism, topic choices, and didn’t rely so much on singing. otherwise he should just start calling himself an r&b rapper or something.
The album grows on you in my opinion and I could use less singing, but it will make him a boatload of money with the young ladies. Not really my type of music but I can respect it.
A classic.
You have bad taste in hip hop.
Kill yourself.
This is one of the worst things I have ever heard. “Find Your Love” may be one of the worst, most annoying songs I have ever heard in my life. It’s sad that this gets the spotlight in the media when there’s stuff like Atmosphere, Panacea, and Mos Def out there. Drake is a disgrace to music. This isn’t me just “hating,” this is a fact. If you like this album, you don’t listen to enough hip hop.
Someone said this is better than Illmatic. That’s a joke my friend. This is down on the same level as Soulja Boy as far as quality.
This is trash. Toronto does not support this shit! DRAKE, you a fucking SNITCH AND YOU KNOW IT. I wish death upon you and your family. Real Talk.
SUCH ANGER…. GROW UP AND GET A JOB
yu ryt OG …DUDE got to church n yoself hands laid upon yu coz yu got a hata spirit on yu
This album was the biggest disappointment of the year. Drake has been strong on all of his guest appearances and then he puts out this whack love cd. Whats this guys problem? Better question is what are his boys problem? You know he played it for them and they sat there and bobbed their heads like, ay yo this is dope man. Damn liars. HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR FRIEND??!!
I dont want to thank you Drake. I want to smack you. You and your entourage.
word.
Real.
penis
keep hating
man i couldnt stand listening to a whole album of him singing to females and rapping .
A good album and a bad review again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWAmVdWRANM
While I thought some of the songs were too slow, the production was still good. If anything, it’s something different. Not for everyone’s taste, but not a waste of time either.
*Sigh* This is what happens when an album is vastly over-hyped, if it’s anything short of classic, people want to coin it as a complete disappointment and failure. It actually is a pretty good album, definitely not as memorable as So Far Gone, because he definitely tried to make this album more commercial, and he over-weighed it with too many guest features. My hope, is his second album, he will focus more on making art, like he did with SFG instead, and keep the guest features down to 2 or 3, 4 at the most.
Never crown a nigga before he has an album out. This is a major setback for young money camp. nikki’s album will be more garbage than this, but at least she’ll look fine as hell flopping. I respect all there hustle’s however this album is garbage. he will only sale more records because of hype, and not quality music. Drake; go back to the shit that was making you a star, or your music career will be over sooner than later. This is not hate, however consructive criticism.
mann boi 1da’ s a good producer and dis the best REALEST album i heard wit meaning so far it has a GRAND MASTER FLASH VIBE!
GOOGOO24 is a flammin faggot, he takes bananas in his ass
juvi “thanked” himself to his album cover yell
http://www.myspace.com/panhandoelrcorp
The only tracks I regret listening to are Karaoke and CeCe Interlude because the auto-tune singing should be left to T-pain…..Other than that the album is good…..It just didn’t show that hunger he showed before he made it….More of cocky side but who can blame him….I mean So Far Gone is what made most of us love him….Then I guess thats when he turned cocky on us……
damn couldnt agrree more. drake does real music. he tells stories and events in his life through his craft and that is a true artist.
ITS A FEW CUTS ON HERE HE NEED TO SWITCH HIS TOPICS BUT ITS AN ALRIGHT CD TO PLAY IF U WITH A GIRL OTHER THEN THAT ITS AND R AND B CD
Bought the album to support Drizzy cause of all that great free music he was giving out before. But I just noticed listing to this album I hate when he sings, His R&B on this album is below par to say the best and half the album is R&B, O and drake Can we get a different topic to rap about, We already know you made it to superstardum.
Iconic is that next rapper, Producers/DJ’s That want to network Email Me:BAEZUSMC022309@gmail.com
Aight… Yall hardcore hip-hop lovers must face that Gansta rap is basically dead!! That said…. this album as a hip-pop joint is great!!! this is Drake not 2Pac Biggie Jim Jones Big Pun….etc.. rap has changed!!! 4 better or worse!?! As a pop album great…as a Rap album…EHHHH! I see potential!?!
Yo this album was pretty good. Everyone keeps saying it’s a disappointment compared to So Far Gone. I really liked so far gone, but every track produced by 40 or on the so far gone EP lead me to believe that Thank me later would be similar to those tracks, and it is is. I don’t see why people thought it would be different. His mixtape tracks are mixtape tracks, they don’t really represent Drake’s own style. I hate to break it to you, but Drake displayed that he would be a more R&Bish type artist singing to the ladies.
TERRIBLE ALBUM. THERE’S NOT REALLY ANYTHING GOOD I CAN SAY ABOUT IT BESIDES SOME OF THE BEATS, WHICH ALSO GET PRETTY BORING. ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA LOOK BACK @ THIS ALBUM 2 YEARS LATER & REGRET HYPING IT UP JUST LIKE THAT OTHER WEEDPLATE CARTER 3.
mehhh this album makes me go back to listening to wu tang classic joints when rappers had to be real and original and you could not get away with releasing mediocre and unoriginal shit….wu tang clan forever
Drake = Overrated
I think this album is good…but not good hip hop! Drake is doing more singing than rapping and when he is rapping his punchlines and his delivery is so boring to the point where u really remember the hooks. The hooks are decent and the beats are good to but I really think this album shouldnt be considered a “rap” album
I like Drizzy but he is getting carried away with this harmonizing. What happened to that way he rapped when he made Uptown with Bun B? I wouldnt go so far as to say hes overrated, but as much to say he doesnt know how to put an album together. None of the songs on TML are correlated. Ya Digg?
Wow yall hate hard huh the album was good to me I cant complain I liked most of it what were yall listening too smh…
ok
There was just too much hype surrounding him and ultimately what this album has shown is that he was heavily overrated. He came out with a classic mixtape but it’s easy to impress on your first time, when nobody knows you. The album should have been used to prove that he deserves the hype but it lacked so much. I can only rate this 2/5 as i was bored throughout most of the album and really only enjoyed two or three tracks.
My advise would be to not sleep on drake, he could surprise us, but don’t pay too much attention because he isn’t changing the game.
Not bad, woulda preferred more rappin than the rnb drake but overall not.
He the greatest!
garbage
J. Cole is a thousand times better this album was so so everything is good but the problem is when ur posterize as the next great thing doing everything good and nothing great calls for a real big reality check, stop hyping Drake, J. Cole is wayyyyyy Better believe me on this.
Not the best album of all time but definitely NOT the worst. (he did manage to provide Jay an opportunity to be reflective of his own career, regrets, and his lost relationship with Dame and all of the street cats he left behind after “The Roc-a-fella split”) ……..”and since no good deed goes unpunished/ Im not as cool wit niggas as I once was/ I was once was,..cool as the fonze was,/ But these bright lights will turn you into a monsta!/ Sorry mama I promised IT WOULDN’T CHANGE ME / but I would have went insane had I remained the SAME ME/ Fuck niggaz,…bitches too/ ALL I GOT IS THIS MONEY…AND THIS WILL DO! ” …….(Jay-Z’s “Light up” verse) …….those few bars were incredibly revealing from Jay due to his own life experiences.
Therefore,…
I think Drake needs to LIVE LIFE and experience more so he can begin to deliver the type of sentiment that Jay expressed in those few lines for a whole Drake album. He needs growth. He is still crazy young and inexperienced in many areas of his life and it is reflected in this album.
Once he lives through the more complex and difficult realities of life……We will begin to hear a Drake that the majority of the world (would then) be able to more relate to.
it was just too overrated. Didn’t show any talent he had and he could have done better. I hate young money.
dont compare this wack shit to anything 50 put out from 02-06
Exactly
I almost never post hater comments as I prefer to voice my support for hip-hop. But Drake is the most boring emcee ever to get this popular. His flow is lazy and tedious. He simply talks — drones, really — over beats in a nasal monotone. And his lyrics are not nearly clever enough to get away with sounding so lame. I hate that he’s all over the radio right now. I can’t believe so many people are liking this.
really bad Young money child suck as hell 1/5
beats are BAD flow tottaly mist point
A classic. Stop sweating your Black Moon/Jeru albums. That era is over.
you have a lil penuuuuus don’t you!, u like to cuddle after sex don’t you lol
fuck the haterz, drake is the future of hip hop, wayne seen it, and the grammy’s obviously seen it too… 5
solid 4 star album
a
I woulda given it a 3, nothing to amazing, but shit it kept me entertained, every rapper has his purpose
great album. the hate isnt warranted at all.
I would listen to it – for 1 week, and dispose it.
OK
thank me now
Thank Me Later is a rare drop of water in a desert of whack rappers.
5/5 I love this album. Slow at times but it gets the job done.
are you trying to say that 50 Cent’s GRODT was wack in those last 2 sentences…
Classic.
Classic
