Thank Me Later

Drake's debut x ticket to fame

07.06

Posted in Music

Thank Me Later (out next week) is easily our favorite album of this month. One could argue Canadian born rapper Aubrey Drake Graham is making too much ‘lovey dovey’ music. Well, we don’t. No way we are going to complain. His debut equals magic.

“I know way too many people here right now, that I didn’t know last year. Who the fuck are y’all?” - Drake (Over, 2010)

In one of his songs, Drake tells us he feels like Curtis Jackson in ‘02, the year he transformed into the famous rapper 50 Cent.  Well, this album is definitely Lil Wayne’s protégé ticket to fame. After the jump, you’ll find some highlights - including our favorite track of the album featuring Alicia Keys.

    "This is one of my dumbest flows ever"

    You gotta love those Canadians. The album kinda reminded me of Kanye's 808's. What do you guys think?

    True, Jonas. It's got that same emotional vibe. Although one can argue this album is even better.

Limit to Your Love

Limit to Your Love We're a little late posting this, but it's simply too good to ignore. Limit To Your Love is a cover of an old Feist and Chilly Gonzales song. Such a sweet and soulful pop song. However, James Blake transforms it to minimalist gold.
