Now there are some pretty good catchy hooks on this CD like Fancy (Feat. The hooks on his sad relationship songs sound pretty corny and are just Drake singing a few words but holding them out for a long time making listeners think to themselves, “oh he’s sooooooooo sensitiveeee”. He raps about living a life of partying and having money but the negatives of it all, but it seems like Drake is pretty happy with his life unless he’s really depressed and can hide it really well in interviews. And that last sentence pretty much explains the lyrical content on Thank Me Later. This CD should be renamed Thank Me Later: Listen To Me Rap About Girls and Failed Relationships/A Slightly Better 808s and Heartbreak. I feel like I could make most of the beats on a bootlegged Fruity Loops in my basement. Thankfully Kanye and Timbaland add something extra to this CD with the help of some lesser known producers BUT! They’re all co-produced by 40 or Boi-1da. This is probably due to the fact that 10/14 tracks on this CD are either produced by Boi-1da, 40, or both. Pretty much 80% of the beats on this CD sound the same as So Far Gone which means a lot of the beats on Thank Me Later sound alike. His delivery is very similar, the beats are very similar, and the subject material is very similar. Drake said that Thank Me Later would be different than anything he’s ever done but listening to this CD i get a lot of flashbacks of listening to So Far Gone.

Thank Me Later has some of the freshest sounding beats I’ve ever heard Drake spit over but sadly I feel like I heard them all on So Far Gone. In my opinion the beats are 1/2 of a good rap CD. There are plenty of good lines on this CD and that is literally the first 5. “Money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go, From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow, lookin’ down from the top and its crowded below, My fifteen minutes started an hour ago” -Fireworks (Feat. His lyrics are smart and precise, matching the beats he chooses very well. Regardless of the style of music, Drake’s delivery is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Thank Me Later isn’t much of a hip-hop CD, it is more of an rnb CD with some raps sprinkled on. So lets jump into the review cause someone like Drake doesn’t really need much of an introduction: canada, degrassi, lil’ wayne, young money, jewish, secret love for nicki minaj, the guy your girlfriend is constantly fantasizing about when she isn’t fantasizing about trey songz. Hallelujah! After being pushed back 3 weeks and being leaked Drake can finally get a load off of his chest. So Drake released his much anticipated debut CD Thank Me Later. Review Summary: Some repetitive beats but classic Drake style and delivery.
