A solid 9/10

The only wack song was Cece's interlude.

It was put together nicely, the lyrics were on point with songs like "The Resistance" nice R&B track's to vibe to like "Find your love" Club tracks like "Fancy" and street tracks like "Unforgettable"

Anyone who gives this last then a 7 is a hater,
if your not close minded and stuck on that 1990 thug shit you will dig this album.

Dumbass statement of the day award goes to lilwayne4life! Congrats! Any rating a cash money artist gets from you can have 4 subtracted from it and be accurate..

Anyway, I've only heard like 6 of the tracks, but based on them so far I'd give a 5.5/10

What a stupid thing to say, and not surprising.

Who is really stuck on the "thug 1990 shit" anyway. If anything, it's the other way around. There's a surplus of artists who use R&B as a mean to perform their songs, and there are hardly any "gangsta rap" artists out there.

Not that matters at all, you listen to an album for the artist or genre, not a genre within the genre. Already, anyone who does that has an agenda, which is ignorant considering it's music.

In my opinion the album is a 6, but not a disappointment, because to be honest I didn't expect any better.

Drake definitely isn't a bad artist or not talented, he has the ability to capture an audience with his catchy way of mixing his sounds, and can definitely make a hit and has some solid beat choosing.

Where he struggles is his ability to keep an audience with lyrical wordplay, conceptual songs or his ability to drive the listener to pay attention to his music, amongst many other things. His songs let the listener fall back and relax, but to widen your audience and range, he needed songs to bring the listener to the music. There's a lot of the same in the album. The best track is 'Fireworks' and the weakest is the one with NIcki Minaj, who ruins and already poor song. The song with Lil'Wayne almost becomes irrelevant, such is Jay-Z's impact on 'Light up', Wayne in this album almost gets treated like the Lil Wayne of every year excluding the last 2 years.

The problem for Drake is, as he makes more albums, you're going to have to speak on different things. And if he can't do that on his first album, it's a hard road ahead.

I'll say 5/5.5 out of 10, about what I expected, the only tracks I really liked off the album are Light Up and the last one forget what it's called. How can a rap album be great when he flows the same exact way on every track? He's good at what he does but i'm not a fan of it. SFG>>>TML.

7/10
Fireworks, Miss Me, and Thank Me Now are my favorites but as others have said, all the songs do sound similar. I wish he had some Forever and Uptown type songs on here

Same. It's not that I think Drake is terrible, he's decent, but just not the kind of artist I personally would enjoy listening to.
