“I still got ten years to go, huh?” He sure did. Drake’s singing on this is still super Kid Cudi and not as defined as it would go on to be. Some are, well… “Oh you wanna be a m************ funny guy, don’t make me break your Kevin Hart boy” “All of your flows bore me, paint drying.” These just aren’t classic lyrics. This just isn’t how you introduce a project.

Feel free to crucify me on Twitter Iight, run it.)ġ. (Also, these are just MY opinions and do not reflect the views of TDN as a staff, brand or a m***********g crew. So pour up whatever you was finna pour up, roll something sticky if you indulge, and set your smart bulbs on your favorite color because we about to take care of ourselves and we definitely not gonna talk or even think about. So as it’s been 10 years, I think we can safely call it a classic but still try & take an objective look back at the music. It really opened my eyes to why as much as I love certain joints, this whole record is just missing something. In fact, I probably wouldn’t even be doing these reviews if it weren’t for a review of this same album by the legendary Phantom Raviolis, Big Ghost himself. Ay bruh, it’s no secret that this album isn’t my cup of tea the way it’s everyone else’s. Really makes you feel old, doesn’t it? It’s actually been a whole decade since Drake dropped what most would call his magnum opus (loud and wrong). And wouldn’t you know it, a 10-year anniversary like this magnitude just crept up on us like this. Point is, it’s getting real gloomy out here. Me & my therapist even been talking about why this time of year specifically is real emotional for me. The sun is down before most of y’all get out of work these days. Drinking water, protecting your mental health, knowing the vibes & all.

Big Bento Energy is most definitely in full effect. Sky Bento here on the check-in once again.

And while Take Care's charms may be a little more hidden, with a couple exceptions, than Thank Me Later’s were, repeated plays reveal a record that is just as strong and more powerful emotionally.

Thank Me Later hinted at it, but Take Care makes it plain. It’s an important achievement, and his success might mean that the world was ready for the first emo rapper. His true strength, as Take Care proves over and over, is his willingness to delve deeply into his emotions and the ability to transmit them in such a simple and real fashion that it’s easy to connect with him even if your life isn’t filled with glamorous exes, hangs with Stevie Wonder (who adds some harmonica to “Doing It Wrong”), and gold owls. Though he drops the occasional line that dazzles (“All my exes live in Texas like I’m George Strait”), Drake is a middle-of-the-pack rapper at best. The collabo with the predictably brilliant André 3000 and Lil Wayne also point out Drake’s shortcomings as a rapper. The super-moody collaboration with the Weeknd on “Crew Love” is another highlight, though it does point out the problematic fact that the Weeknd beats Drake out in the vocal department.

The album's most unique track, “Take Care,” features Jamie Smith of the xx working with Shebib on an (almost) uptempo, (almost) danceable song that has a typically great vocal from Rihanna. Cashe take things one step further toward R&B by creating a late-night after-hours club feel on the bittersweet “Look What You’ve Done” (which features a phone message left for Drake by his grandmother). Boi-1DA gives “Headlines” a jaunty synth line that Drake matches with his strongest rap, T-Minus brings some booty bass to the thoughtfully sexy Nicky Minaj feature “Make Me Proud,” Just Blaze builds “Lord Knows” around some majestic samples that let Drake brag like a boss, and Chase N. When other producers take over, there is a definite shift in mood. Drake’s longtime producer/partner Noah “40” Shebib did most of the production work, and he surrounds Drake’s voice with murky beats, layers of dusky synths, and moody guitars that fit Drake’s voice perfectly the two work together to create a thick mood of melancholy. For the most part, increased success hasn’t done much to improve Drake’s mood, as he details his failures at love, his worries about living a hollow life, and his general malaise.

The plan fell through, but his 2011 album Take Care has the feel of a late-night R&B album, full of slow tempos, muted textures, impassioned crooning, and an introspective tone that is only rarely punctured by aggressive tracks, boasts, and/or come-ons. After the huge commercial and artistic success of his last album, Thank Me Later, Drake threatened/promised that his next album would be a straight-up R&B record that forsook rapping for vocals.
