He said long before the album came out that he would be doing quite a bit of singing.

I'm about to listen to the entire album but I've only heard 2 songs so far where it's mostly all singing, which are Shut It Down and the other one....think it was Find Your Love or something like that. I liked Shut It Down, the other one not so much.

SMH This Drake Album ain't sounding too good so far. I just went thru my first go round with it and so far it's basically a poor man's Ja Rule CD with all this damn singing. Bout to give it another go round just to make sure that's not the case but so far...SMH.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Just finished listening to Thank Me Later.

I had a feeling I already heard most of the good songs off this album and I was pretty much right.

There's still some decent tracks I like on here like Up All Night, Thank Me Now, Miss Me and Fireworks is alright too. Basically all the songs where Drake is singing, aside from Shut It Down, I don't even think I'd give them a 2nd listen.

Like ex said, it's a pretty good effort but for the next album he needs to cut down the singing tracks to maybe only 1 or 2 and there's obviously still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to his lyrics.

EDIT: Thank Me Later leftover - You Know, You Know

Should have left the singing to try songz...

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

First go round, I'm not feeling the album as a whole. There are a couple tracks I like (Over, Light UP, Fancy)but overall, it just seems kind of...I don't know, emo.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I think the album is solid. None of the songs are really that bad (even the ones where he sings), but none of them really stand out either. I don't think people will skip that many songs on the album, but there aren't many that you want to listen to over and over. The album is basically So Far Gone, but not as good.

Here's a little taste of All City Chess Club for you guys. Just Bobby Ray and Lupe but it's straight yum nonetheless.

Janelle Monae is one of my favorite female artists right now and I think I might have mentioned in this thread that I was hoping they'd somehow make her a part of All City Chess Club. This song looks like it could be a step in that direction.

Yea, that is what I expected. I probably wont even give it a listen since there was only one track that I really liked on So Far Gone. His verse on Forever was nice too, but past that, I haven't been impressed enough to even steal this mans album.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Yeah the album is barely considered in the "rap" genre.

A few days later, I'm not really itching to replay any of these tracks. I'm still shocked that there was only one track with Wayne and no Trey Songz.

My favorite track is a singing one Shut it Down.

Also I guess there's a version of Light Up with L. Wayne coming soon.

Yo, what the **** is wrong with this dude? Like I'm Brad, like I'm Chad?!

This dude has some mental problems. I can see Soulja Boy just laughin' is *** off when this ****head is in the studio.

What's worse than a Lil B track? A Lil B track featuring Soulja Boy. That **** is a wreck.
