Drizzy Drake's first 2 albums








Thank Me Later

Fireworks- Drake raps about his newfound stardom. He’s joined by Alicia Keys who does a great job on the chorus. The beat is kinda nothing more than a backdrop. I really like Drake’s verses here.

9/10



Karaoke- Drake sings almost the entire song. Its an okay song but rather skippable.

5.5/10



The Resistance- This one is a little better than the previous track. I like the chorus. Drake continues to rap about his newly found stardom. The beat is interesting but the topic has gotten kinda stale by now.

6/10



Over-Over is a tremendous song with an awesome beat. Drake kills the song with sharp delivery.

9.5/10



Show Me a Good Time- Another uptempo song. I really like the beat, and the chorus is pretty hot too.

8.5/10



Up All Night- This is song has a real dark feel to it, as Drizzy and Minaj kill the song. Nicki really steals the show though…..with lines like “F*** I look like ho? I look like yes and you like no”.

9/10



Fancy- This is a fun song dedicated to the hot ladies. Drake is joined by T.I., Swizz Beatz, and Mary J. Blige. It’s a really dope record with a terrific beat

9.5/10



Shut it Down- A long song with The-Dream. It’s ok, but way too long. It really does nothing for the album.

6/10





Unforgettable- Drizzy is joined by Young Jeezy here. The chorus is fire, as is the rest of the song. I like the beat too.

8.5/10



Light Up- Drake rhymes with the great GOD mc Jay-z on this one. The beat is intense, and I love the chorus. Jay-z’s verse is pretty good, but not quite up to his usual standards. He gives advice to the young rapper.

9.5/10



Miss Me- Lil Weezy joins Drake on this one. This song seems rather climatic, like it should have been the last song. Lil Wayne spits a fire verse but he can’t steal the spotlight from Drake.

9/10

Cece’s Interlude- Drake sings a bit, I guess it’s a good prequel to the following track.

7/10





Find Your Love- A song about Drake trying to find love. The song has some really nice pacing and a dope beat. Drake sings the entire song but man is it effective.

9.5/10



Thank Me Now- A pretty good song. Drake continues showcase his unique style of rapping. It’s good that he closes out his album without any guest features.

9/10



I give this album 8.75/10



Take Care

Over My Dead Body- I love the sample this song has. Drake spits some hot fire.

8/10



Shot For Me- Drake gets back at his ex-gfs here. This song is catchy but somewhat too slow.

7.5/10



Headlines- The hit single has an infectious beat. This song couldn’t have any other rapper on it….besides Over I think it’s his signature song.

9.5/10



Crew Love- Drake is joined by the Weeknd here; and the singer steals the show but only momentarily. This song has a nice beat that changes up. 8.5/10



Take Care- A great “Duet” between Drake and Rihanna….I’m not sure where they got that sample from but it’s a good song regardless.

9/10



Marivin’s Room/Buried Alive- Marvin’s Room is very long, slow, and well interesting. It’s basically just Drake calling an ex girl and telling her how he struggles with stardom. Buried Alive is a dope freestyle. 8.5/10



Underground Kings- A very cool uptempo song. Drake only cares about “Rappin, B**ches and Rappin” LOL. This is a dope song

9/10



We’ll Be Fine- This song is really similar to the previous one but its also just as good. Drake does some singing here and there…man he has really defined his sound here. 9/10



Make Me Proud- Drake and Nicki are at it again….this song is good but it falls short of their Thank Me Later collabo. Anyways these two have great chemistry and the beat is pretty good. 8.5/10



Lord Knows- The boss Rick Ross joins Drake on this one. This happens to be the best song on the album. It just has an epic feel to it. 10/10



Camera/ Good Ones Go- I really like he Camera part of this song(9/10) but the 2nd part is a little average(7/10)…so I will split the difference

8/10



Doing It Wrong- Another ode to the ladies. It feels like the songs on his 1st album where he just sung on the whole song. 7.5/10



The Real Her – Drake is joined by Lil Wayne and Andre 3000. This song is pretty good. I’m kind of questioning him not putting this song somewhere else on the album…like at the end. Andre has the best verse.

8/10



HYFR(HELL YEA F”N Right)- This song is pretty dope, Lil Wayne assists again. The chorus is addictive. 9/10



Look What You’ve Done – A good song where Drizzy pays homage. He retells the story of what happened before his signing… 8.5/10



Practice- Somewhere JUVENILE is PISSED OFF. Drake takes his back that A** UP song and basically remakes it lol. The song isn’t very good but it is catchy.

6.5/10



The Motto- Lil Wayne drops by again for the closing song on the album. “I’m the f***in man you don’t get it do ya..” Drake kills it. My only problem with this song is it should have been switched with Look What You’ve Done for the last track.

9.5/10

I give this album 8.5/10

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on  Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
