Drake - Thank Me Later (Album Review)...

Drake’s upcoming album, titled “Thank Me Later” is one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year. I am very interested in seeing how it will do as he has to be one of the most hyped artists in a long time. He has had a huge buzz for so long now its insane. I always thought he should have released it long ago when 'Best I Ever' had was the only song on the radio. His earlier mixtape 'So Far Gone' was good enough to be an album and so were his other mixtapes..but he took his time and put out a pretty good album.

I will admit that on my first listen I wasn't overly impressed with the album. But I was DEAD tired that day and half asleep on the bus, so I didn't give it a really good listen. Having listened to it over and over I do really like it, and there aren't loads and loads of songs I skip when listening to it. Thats always a good sign, as an album with 3-4 good songs, is never great.

Feature wise, he came strong *pause* with his choices, Alicia Keys, Jay, Swizz Beatz, The-Dream, Jeezy and label mates Nicki Minaj and Weezy. Jay-Z (as much as I hate the guy) smashed it on there track 'Light Up' the Nicki Minaj track is fire, infact all the collabs were crazy.

If you heard any of Drakes mixtapes before, its much of the same format, some rapping, some of his singing, he must be using autotune, but its not crazy robot sounding stuff, just sounds good. He has loads of nice punch lines, loads I will be quoting on facebook, no doubt about that.

The subject matters vary from girls, to money, to him coming up in the game. Not many meaningful tracks on the album, nothing truly moving which you sometimes get on a new artists sophomore album. But he is more of a 'swag' based rapper lol..rather then a deep guy like Lupe, or B.o.B. He's already rich and a star. BUT still I'm feeling it.

My fav song on the album right now is his new single 'Find Your Love' which isn't rap at all.

The album has sooo many songs that can be singles I think we well be hearing Drake songs on the radio for a very long time.

Lil Wayne might be gone ’til November, but Young Money is still in the house. Nicki Minaj and Drake take center stage next month as Weezy’s protégés grace the cover of the May 2010 issue of XXL. Both have built a deafening buzz throughout the past year and change, with standout verses and chart topping singles under their respective belts. With fans clamoring for their highly anticipated debut albums, Drake and Nicki stand on the cusp of being crowned hip-hop’s new reigning king and queen. XXL Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten sits down with Nicki for a candid Q&A, while senior editor Benjamin Meadows-Ingram documents Drake’s rise.

In addition to our in-depth interviews with the Young Money all-stars, this blockbuster issue also includes investigative pieces on the struggles of female MCs and the death of the New York rap star, complete with a borough-by-borough breakdown of the Big Apple’s hip-hop history. Other issue highlights to lookout for are profiles covering the triumphant return of Reflection Eternal and the tragic demise of Little Brother. Also, Bun B gives us an early preview of his upcoming Trill O.G. album and Joell Ortiz goes on a fake-booty scavenger hunt in The Cool.

I see you N-Bomb (1)...

Something I noticed recently is rappers stepping there game up. 2 people in particular that people either haven't heard of or haven't heard much of lately and thats...

Tyga

Bow Wow

Both ironically from Young Money, so who knows, maybe they got Weezy and Drizzy writing for them. Or some of there skills have rubbed off on them from being around two guys who are at the top of the game right now, but they both have improved alot.

Tyga had a lil pop tune out a while ago called Coconut Juice which was ok, but it was never gonna set the world alight. Never thought much of the kid really, had an album out that hardly anyone took notice of. So I was browsing the hip hop blogs recently and came across his 'I Wanna Rock' freestyle and he was pretty 'nice'. Again, not saying he is the best around but he has improved alot.

For a few months now Bow Wow has been putting out lil youtube vids of tracks he has been doing, either freestlyes, or tracks for his mixtape and they have been pretty serious. Bow Wow used to have JD writing his rhymes, since changing that up he defo has improved. 2 days ago he did a 'All The Way Turnt Up' freestyle that was 'nice'.
