Drake - Thank Me Later

Drake's album "Thank Me Later" came out June 15th. 5 out of 5 stars!!

I LOVE IT!

And I don't care what anyone thinks! I've been waiting for this album forever and I am NOT disappointed.

Drake starts off the album with "Fireworks"(literally) it feats Alicia Keys and is beautiful. Its kind of an understanding of him and his life with catchy rhymes. "Karaoke" is a beginning track that kind of melts you into his words, or so it did for me, hehe its like a 'there i was and here i am now' track.

I loved the single "Over" and "The Resistance" is like a really long intro to that. At the end of the song Drake says, "Yeah, I just need some closure, ain't no turning back for me I’m in it till it’s over" Then "Over" is next on the list. Great transition.

"Show Me A Good Time" is kind of an up beat song on the CD, which is an relief because the CD starts out relaxing but powerful. Its a fun pop track that doesn't hurt or make the album. Now my favorite song so far is "Up All Night" feat. Nicki Minaj. Best lyrics on the album and I thought it would be a pop track because of the title but it proved to be a strong sort of cocky record.

"Kush rolled, glass full, I prefer the better things/Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything/I'm having a good time, they just trying to ruin it/Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest nigga doing it" BUT NOT TOO COCKY! hehe Drake is still the sweet honest guy we love.

Then we get into another up beat club banger, "Fancy" feat T.I. and Swizz Beatz. And may I say that T.I. KILLED it! Great, Unique, Fantastic lyrics both T.I. and Drake. This record is strictly for the ladies who are living the FAB independence life and reminds us why Drake is a ladies man.

"Shut It Down" feat The Dream isn't the typical Dream beats which is refreshing. With Drake the track seems different and new.

"Unforgettable" feat Young Jeezy, "Light Up" feat Jay-Z, and "Miss Me" feat Lil Wayne are all great hip hop tracks for the fellas. I can see niggas rolling down the street blasting music like its not loud enough. hehe, listen to the lyrics.

"Cece's Interlude" is just an interlude. LOL! But even that is interesting, Drake has a beautiful voice and a talent for knowing his beats.

We all know that "Find Your Love" was an success. IT WAS #1...AND STILL IS! hehe. Drake ends the CD with "Thank Me Now"

A perfect ending to a perfect album!

"Yeah so on behalf of the demanded/andthe entertainment that you take for granted/you could thank me now...and oh my goodness you’re welcome/you’re welcome"
