Yes. I will buy both digital and physical copies! Bring it on Drake! Your EP, So Far Gone was awesome. Your first album Thank Me Later and your second album Take Care was alright. I'm hoping your junior album is dope!

I like Drake well enough but hate the fact that most his albums are more moody and slow tracks. I like him best on songs like "Forever," songs that are more up tempo. His albums are always too slow and R&B-ish to me. I hope this one has a better mix.

Don't know if I'll consider Take Care classic. Only new generation album I consider classic worthy is GKMC. However I believe we also have to give it some time. Will we come back to Take Care years from now feeling that it defined his career and positioned him as one of the best to ever do it? Or will it just be a good album from Drake, but his best is still yet to come. Interested to hear NWtS, hoping for some lyrical flexing similar to "Lord Knows"

i would say "so far gone" has had a bigger impact than take care. "best i ever had" is still the dopest single he has put out.

man I like some of his stuff but this... Come on... Really?

We get it, you don't like Drake

It's cool album art and Take Care is much better than what most of his colleagues have released (I'd still consider GKMC to be a true modern classic though)

Agreed. Take Care may have done well and it may even be a decent album but it's definitely not a modern classic and So Far Gone was a much better project overall.

Guess we should start adding a Kanye West 'seal of approval' on albums covers now.

I liked the direction Take Care was going in though, he really improved. Hopefully this continues for the next album.

I'm actually looking forward to this one.

Always has a few jams on there that I could still listen to (Light up / crew love still goes).

I like Drake, he's had some good songs. Take Care is a good tune and a good album. Make Me Proud and HYFR are also alright.

He's been called soft by other rappers but after giving that sentiment some thought I realised that everyone involved is a musician, they make music for teenagers.

I'm looking forward to it. Drake makes good music. I really don't give a shit what other rappers/people think.

Drake has his place, and honestly I dig him a lot. Excited for this even if he is soft. Can't be wiping a butt with concrete.

Drake will drop the best album of the year. No doubt about it. He's killed every verse he's been on for a year or longer, no one else is doing that (cept Kendrick). Those two are at the top right now

Hype.

Weeknd and Drake both in September. Two Toronto artists dropping albums in the same month, feels good bro.

How can you call Take Care a modern hiphop classic if Take Care isn't even a hiphop album? It's an R&B album with a couple hiphop verses.

That being said; Take Care was a great album, so I'm looking forward to this one. I hope there's more singing than rapping though. Drake is a good rapper, but nothing special. He's a great singer though.

R&B Drake = best Drake.

Still take care was good, will check this out.

Nah just throwing out throwaway songs to make buzz. He always does this before an album.

That's actually a lot closer than the quoted atrocity.

TC maybe close to the cool but not F&L. And I don't want to turn this into GKMC debate thread but that album is in no way close to any classic album from the 90s. It's a solid studio debut when comparing it to that time period of hip-hop, but if that is what modern day listeners classify as in regards to those 90s albums then goddamn standards have fallen off. I have no problem comparing GKMC to the likes of classics such as CD and F&L but it doesn't touch anything pre-2000s. Those are on another level.

opinions and all that shit though
