[The Drop] Drake // “Thank Me Later”
In 2009 Drake signed on with Lil’ Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment label, and since then has become the focal point of the hip hop game. It is safe to say that no other hip hop/R&B artist is doing it bigger or better than Drizzy. His debut album “Thank Me Later” has been the most highly anticipated record of the year, and drops in just a matter of days. I’ve already heard reviews from tons of haters who claim the album doesn’t live up to the hype, however with a great blend of hip hop bangers and R&B jams this album easily surpassed my expectations. Below are three of my favorite tracks on the album, starting with “Show Me A Good Time.” This track became my favorite in just one listen, produced by Kanye West, the beat is SO fresh, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Yeezy.

At first I didn’t think I would like this track but after playing through it a couple of times I’ve become obsessed. Featuring a verse from Young Jeezy and a sample from Aaliyah singing “Let Me Know” from her song “At Your Best,” Unforgettable is without a doubt one of the best songs on the album. The beat is slow and has a definite R&B feel to it, but Drake and Jeezy go in hard on this track and lyrics are just absolute fire.

“Thank Me Now” is the last song on the album and is the perfect ending for the record. Featuring another slow beat, Drake spits it clean and smooth showing off his skills as a lyricist. The string beats in the background are the perfect compliment for his voice, creating a sound that you never want to end. Enjoy!
