Any past tendencies toward being the easy listening of the rap world have all but faded. Dude probably had sex two minutes ago, but he looks like his dog just got run over by a garbage truck. (LIST: TIME’s 30 Best Music Videos) Thanks in part to fellow Torontonian The Weeknd, Crew Love rides the line of mysterious, glitchy R&B and gorilla-sized hip-hop boasting. The record was a reworking of Scott-Herons final studio album Im New Here. On his sophomore effort, Take Care, Drakes still fretting about lost love, the perils of fame, and connecting with his fellow man.These naked emotions are what make Take Care a classic, placing Drake in a league with legendary emoters like Marvin Gaye and Al Green. The cover of Take Care says it all: Drake sits forlornly in the depths of a mansion he could’ve bought from 1970s Jimmy Page, slung over a golden goblet of 50-a-glass painkiller. Despite amassing a hefty discography made up of studio albums, mixtapes, and even an A. Drake fans understand the significance of Take Care. (Rihanna, The Weeknd and Stevie Wonder’s harmonica also appear.) Some of Drake’s vulnerabilities also seem to have withered away, and the unfiltered honesty that connected with many is more sporadic than in the past, although “Look What You’ve Done” tugs on the heartstrings, as Drake delves deep into his relationships with his mother and his uncle, both of whom raised him. Take Care corrects this deficit tout de suite. Drake's 'Take Care' is the gift that keeps on giving. Drizzy lays out that perspective on the album’s first two lines, via the piano-driven “Over My Dead Body,” where he raps, “I think I killed everybody in the game last year, man/Fuck it, I was on, though/And I thought I found the girl of my dreams at a strip club/Fuck it, I was wrong, though.” The uncompromising lyricism continues on “Underground Kings,” “HYFR (Hell Ya Fuckin Right),” “Headlines” and the Just Blaze–produced “Lord Knows.” The last number includes Rick Ross, one of the six rap features on the album-Lil Wayne (twice), Andre 3000, Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar-each fittingly placed and complementary in their appeal.
