Simpin Ain't Easy: The Official Thread For Drake's Sophomore Album, TAKE CARE

it was REALLY cool for the first minute where you think it's just a sample of the beat, but yeah

last minute was kinda cool too

But the middle part was shameful.

i hope mannie actually gets paid for that, knowing cash money i'd doubt it tho

This Rihanna track is gonna be huge no?

rappers need to stop letting ross come in and beast on their albums hto

man i hope so -- it would be really cool if there was a song on the radio that showcased other elements of dance music outside of thumping dr luke/max martin house

between this album, coldplay and her own, rihanna's gonna be on all three of the biggest releases of the fourth quarter

wiki is saying that "cameras" is a luger beat

lol @ dim sum line

this could be a bit shorter but it's a pretty fantastic album

Wouldn't have guessed, cool. The bass kick on that is beast. xp

i counted one grocery bag from drake on this, on the opening verse no less. he really couldn't help himself, huh?

Only one? wow

"Camera" = http://www.gifsforum.com/images/gif/yes/grand/yes_5656.gif

yeah, lol

cant stop staring at that gif

"underground kings" is kind of like if "the show goes on" wasn't the worst beat ever

cant stop staring at that gif

THIS

kinda interesting that the wrong tracklist at the top was also right in some places

i don't know enough about anime to understand ross' "whippin yay like anime" line

Crew Love beat is really good, production is awesome throughout. I didn't want to like this, but I does.

I do wish Drake's voice was recessed in the mix a little bit, its so abrasive, would probably fit the mood better too.

i think drake's voice is kind of unfixable... i mean i've made peace with it but if all these beats were on the rick ross album it would be the greatest thing ever

man this actually leaked kind of early. cant they usually hold this stuff down until like the weekend before it drops?

honestly it might actually help sales if word gets out that it's really good

"i think drake's voice is kind of unfixable... i mean i've made peace with it but if all these beats were on the rick ross album it would be the greatest thing ever"

Not that he needs to "fix his voice" really, and yeah at some point to enjoy drake you have make peace with it. I just think mixing it a little differently could help, but I would say the same if this was any other singer/rapper as well.

yeah i meant "the problem of drake's voice", not the voice itself

I actually find the new incarnation of Waynes recorded voice much more annoying.

yeah def

wayne's contributions to this album are so useless

"dreams money can buy" and "free spirit" should've definitely made the album though

yeah you could knock two of the weaker tracks from this and add those 2 + "club paradise" and have a much better album but oh well

you all downloaded this the minute it leaked like actual fans smh

Take Care =

^^called it

except that it's over an hour

this is basically like Drake rapping over the DJ Sprinkles album

how are y'all hearing this record? it doesn't come out until nov. 15th?

ysi?

production on everything i've heard is great, i might actually buy a drake album

this is basically like Drake rapping over the DJ Sprinkles album

this makes me curious but I guess I'd better just sticking with the DJ Sprinkles record?

I'm feeling the weird hard crashy stabs vs. "empty" / beatless choruses of "Crew Love"

I feel like this thread should be retitled "Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with Drake"

what year was this post constructed in? v odd

that is rev's best zing in a long minute

the second half of this album is amazing -- the "look what you've done" beat almost reminds me of "it's whatever" (which knowing drake might be intentional) & "cameras" is kinda crazy good, that chorus has some new jack swing stuff going on or something
