Is Drake Taking Care?

 

Drake's shophomore album, "Take Care," dropped November 15, 2011 and has been dominating the radio waves since then. Following the success of his first album "Thank Me Later," Drake set out to produce another great album. Although "Thank Me Later" sold well, Drake admits to the album being rushed. In producing "Take Care," Drake spent all the necessary time in perfecting the album.
Many have said that Drake has become "soft" because of the albums track listing, but the fail to realize that Drake has never been categorized as a hardcore rapper nor does he try to be a gangster rapper. Drake set his tone with his mixtape "So Far Gone." In that mixtape, Drake established himself as an artist capable of rapping as well as singing. He has never been afraid to make sentimental music. "Take Care" is not a "sweet"album. Drake likes to cater to his female fans and did so very well with this album.
Drake's "Take Care" is a twenty-track album lasting about an hour and twenty minutes long. It features some iconic names including Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder, Andre 3000, and Rick Ross. The album also features two fairly new artists, Kendrick Lamar and the Weeknd. As if all these features aren't enough, Drake throws it back on his song "Cameras/Good Ones Go Interlude" by sampling Jon B's "Calling on You."
"Take Care" is dominating the radio waves with singles, "Marvin's Room," "Take Care," and "Headlines." For those who like those singles, I definitely urge you to pick up the album. Drake opens up the album with slow jams "Over My Dead Body" and "Shot for Me." Ladies as well as the males will love these songs. Further along in the album Drake ups the mood with "Make Me Proud" and "Lord Knows." Drake then rounds out the album with club banger "The Motto."
Drake's "Take Care" is an ultimate hit. The variety of the tracks make it so that the album never gets old. On the album, there is a song that can cater to any and every mood you have have. Drake definitely took care of himself as well as his fans with this one.
