Take Care Explicit Lyrics

I haven't been a huge fan of Drake. Out of the songs that I had listened to on the radio, I just thought he was OK. Maybe another one hit wonder. I did like his song "Successful" from his mixtape but that was about it. I had seen some good reviews on this album though and when I saw the $5 download on Amazon, I got it. I love all the slow, easy listening songs on this album, way better than what's on the radio. I can't pinpoint what exactly about his rapping style that I like but I guess its just smooth and sleek. I also looked up the wikipedia page for the album, so many producers worked on this album and it shows. This is one of the best rap albums of the year, or at least best produced, almost, just almost like a Kanye West album. I feel like I can relate to a lot of what his songs are about. * Note: The Motto didn't come on the download, so I might just have to download it at an extra cost Best songs: - The Ride, I like how he goes in and out of first person / third person. You don't know if he's talking about himself or someone else (at first). I feel that he did this to better explain what he's going through by looking at his life from the outside - Lord Knows, Rick Ross really makes this a stand out song. It almost sounds like a Kanye song with the choir background singing. I can't get enough of this song. One of the best produced songs on the album. - Hyfr, Everyone's heard this song. Its just a good party song, when you just want have a good time. The chorus will stay in your head for an entire week Hell Yeah, Hell Yeah Hell Yeah, Effin Right...

These days, Drake has turned into a man that is either loved or hated. First of all, people dislike him for his ability to balance singing and rapping in his songs. Lets be honest - some flat out hate it and wish he would choose one. But his real fans know no choice has to nor should be made. Drake is talented in both worlds, and he best says "F you" to his haters in "Lord Knows" ft. Rick Ross. Those of you who have listened to this song know EXACTLY to what I am referencing. "Take Care" has been a project carefully crafted over the past year by Drake. It's about his life, who he is, what he experiences and he allows the listener to take a glimpse into his world. Its a refreshing break from those rap artists who are constantly spitting lines about drug dealing, threatening to kill other dudes or steal their girls. Drake is a genre of his own. There are not many other artists who can be compared to him - which is one thing I appreciate about his artistry. He gives music that is completely relatable and he is endlessly quotable. I recommend this album to anyone with a brain, and anyone who is able to appreciate good music. There are a lot of great songs on this album. My favorites are most certainly: Under Ground Kings Buried Alive Interlude Over My Dead Body Crew Love Take Care The Love Doing It Wrong I do have a couple of issues with this album. I do have to say my least favorite is "Practice." I think its an awkward way to end an album (if you didn't purchase the deluxe edition). "The Ride" (bonus track) would have been more suitable and "Practice" should have been offered as a bonus. Also, Birdman's contribution to "We'll Be Fine" is well... not fine.

Drake's best album by any measure. Introspective, vulnerable, "overdosed on confidence" and plenty of swagger to boot. This is the album Drake should have named "Nothing Was The Same" cause he hasn't come close to anything this confessional and soul searching since this album. On the one hand I'm not gonna blame him; you're not gonna land a half a billion $ contract making music this thoughtful and mature in today's music environment. It is what it is I guess. But if you ever wanna peek behind the multi platinum hits Drake of today and get a semblance of the artist; this is the album that will take you there.

classic album sounds really good on vinyl

Ok , so Where should I begin ?! Drake really did his thing on his sophomore album , Take Care !! If your a fan of Drake , you would agree with me here. Every one of the tracks on this album are pure GOLD ! None of them suck , unless your a guy and find Drake totally annoying. Well, cmon, most of Drakes fans are FEMALES ,so of course some of the tracks are gonna be a little slow and targeted towards women. But, don't worry guys, tracks like " Underground Kings" & "Lord Knows" have more of a masculine feel to them. But anyway , it really doesn't matter if your a girl OR a guy because all of the tracks are just so amazing !! This album is so good, its just impossible to skip a track .. TRUST ME . :) Favorite Track: I love all the songs on Take Care but , the track called "The Ride" featuring a trending underground artist named The Weeknd . This song is just so soothing but dope!! & I just love The Weeknd's voice and just The Weeknd in general !! :D -duces :)

Both LPs came warped and the gatefold is always half open, but the sound quality is nice.

Plays great. No issues and great album

Item came fast and not broken! This is honest may the first time I have received a CD from Amazon that didn’t come in a cracked case😂

Drake si è imposto nella scena mondiale con il suo album d’esordio "Thank melater" pubblicato poco più di un anno fa. “Take care” ha il compito di cementare il successo e la credibilità dell’artista canadese. Se è vero che “il secondo album è sempre il più difficile”, Drake non sembra per nulla intimorito nell’affrontare questa cruciale prova per la sua carriera. Piuttosto sembra avanzare con spavalderia (e anche un pizzico d’arroganza), facendosi largo ancora di più nell’attuale scenario r&b e hip hop. Lo dimostrano le vendite straordinarie già nella sua prima settimana d’uscita: ben 600mila copie (duecentomila in più di “Thank me later”). Il suo è il terzo album con il maggior numero di copie vendute negli Stati Uniti in una settimana dell’intero 2011. Il nuovo disco si apre con l’atmosfera sognante di "Over My Dead Body" che fa ben sperare per il mood generale del disco, che prosegue con un’altra ballatona r&b dalle atmosfere anni ’90 (“Shot for me”) e avanza tra rime e storie che parlano di donne e relazioni, con suoni spesso scarni ma d’effetto, citazioni e campionamenti talvolta alquanto originali. “Take care” contiene il pensiero di Drake aggiornato alla sua nuova realtà fatta di fama, gloria e soldi a palate, di voci di corridoio, relazioni vere o presunte, tanti amici famosi, premi da pubblico e critica e un nuovo e grandioso stile di vita. La sua onestà nel raccontare di sé, ma anche la sua versatilità come autore, cantante e rapper fanno di Drake un personaggio degno più di altri del successo. Prodotto in gran parte da Noah “40” Shebib, “Take care” abbonda di collaborazioni eccellenti, ma trova spazio anche per artisti minori certamente cari al 25enne canadese come l’etiope The Weeknd presente nell’ottima “Crew love” e anche nella canzone di chiusura “The ride”. C’è Rihanna nella danzereccia “Take care” dove si cela la presenza del compianto Gil Scott Heron, c’è Nicki Minaj in “Make me proud”, l’immancabile Lil’ Wayne , ma anche Rick Ross in “Lord knows” prodotta da Just Blaze, Andre 3000 che cita Adele in “The real her” e persino Stevie Wonder che con la sua inconfondibile armonica impreziosisce il finale della delicata “Doing it wrong”. Con “Thank me later” Drake si è guadagnato un posto di rilievo nella mappa della musica “urban”. Con “Take care” ci comunica che se l’è ampiamente meritato.

Uno de los mejores álbumes de drake, El envío fue de aproximadamente 3 días de espera, valió completamente la pena y más por el precio del mismo, llegó en perfectas condiciones por lo bien protegido de la caja, lo recomiendo completamente, ya que nunca me había tocado ver en ningún lado con este precio.

It is my partners favorite albim and he loved it looks and sound. Will recommend it as a present 🎁

Nach seinem überaus gelungenen Einstieg in die Mainstream-Welt des Hip-Hop "Thank Me Later" letztes Jahr folgt nun endlich das zweite Album des prominentesten der zahlreichen Newcomer im Hip-Hop Game. "Take Care" ist dabei wohl eines der am sehnsüchtigsten erwarteten Alben dieses Jahres. Der Hype, den Aubrey Graham erneut kreierte, übertrifft wahrscheinlich noch die massive Promotion für sein Debüt. Und wieder einmal kann man sagen, dass Drake den enormen Erwartungen gerecht wird. Auf "Take Care" erfindet er sich aber nicht komplett neu, sondern hat seinen typischen Style, die wabernden Synthesizer, die gedämpften Drums und seine leicht säuselige Sing-Stimme konsequent weiterentwickelt und an manchen Stellen fast zur Perfektion getrieben. Dabei blieben aber auch seine Rap-Skills nicht unberührt. Flowtechnisch präsentiert sich Drake, wenn er erstmal richtig loslegt, absolut auf Höchstform. Dieses Album ist hierbei keines für Hip-Hop-Puristen. Auch diejenigen, die Drake eher wegen seines Styles zu rappen gefeiert haben, werden sich nicht völlig mit "Take Care" anfreunden können. Dafür wird hier viel zu viel gesungen. Die einzigen lupenreinen Rap-Songs beschränken sich auf den Zwischenraum zwischen den Interludes (Ausnahme: "HYFR"). Der Rest ist sehr stark von R&B und manchmal auch vom Pop geprägt. Drake kommt dabei voll auf seine Kosten. Auf den Beats, die nicht selten eine melancholische Stimmung versprühen, erzählt er Geschichten aus seinem Superstar-Leben, die sich aber nie mit Oberflächlichkeiten begnügen (zumindest nur ganz selten). Vielmehr gewährt er uns einen sehr emotional ehrlichen Blick in sein Privatleben. Der Song "Look What You've Done", in dem Drake die Beziehung zu seiner Mutter ohne zu kitschig zu werden sehr gut reflektiert, stellt hier das Highlight dieser Geschichten dar. Das macht die anderen Titel aber nicht weniger hörenswert. Im Gegenteil. Die meisten Perlen erkennt man erst nach mehrmaligem Hören. Auch wenn mir das Album nach dem ersten Durchlauf nicht ganz zugesagt hat, überzeugt es mittlerweile doch durch seine wahnsinnige Integrität und Konsequenz im Sound. Meistens geht mit solchen Attributen aber einher, dass ein Album total monoton und austauschbar wird. Drake weiß das geschickt aufzulockern durch Tracks wie "Take Care", das mit einem lockeren Sound aufwartet, aber auch die Mittelfraktion überzeugt auf raptechnischer Basis. Besonders "Lord Knows" bildet in der Hinsicht einen kleinen Höhepunkt, der im weiteren Verlauf an Bombast nicht mehr angerührt wird. Der sehr ruhige Schluss bekommt genügend Energie durch "HYFR", aber auch den eingängigen, instrumental intensiven Chorus von "Practice". So kann das Album dann mit "The Ride" ganz ruhig und locker ausklingen, ohne dass es beim Hören langatmig wurde. Die Produktion ist dabei immer auf einem sehr guten, hin und wieder überragenden Niveau. Auch Drake's Hausproduzent "40" hat sich genauso weiterentwickelt, wie der Vocalist selbst. Die Beats klingen dynamischer, durchdachter, nicht mehr so mechanisch - einfach besser als auf "Thank Me Later". T-Minus sorgt dafür, dass die Hip-Hop-Tracks mit genügend Energie versorgt sind und Boi-1da macht auf "Headlines" das, wofür man ihn liebt - einen eingängigen, nicht zu verschachtelten, nach vorne gehenden Banger. Auch wenn "Take Care" nicht mehr so zugänglich ist wie sein Vorgänger, ist es deutlich gelungener. Drake wirkt authentischer, Beats und sein Flow gehen besser ineinander über und die Themen passen auch. Für die Leute, die Drake's ruhige Seite schon immer gemocht haben also eine unbedingte Kaufempfehlung, für alle Anderen gilt, dass sie mal wenigstens reinhören können. Nun noch meine 5 Favouriten: 1. Take Care - Drake und Featuregast Rihanna harmonieren hier herrlich und erzählen mit einer gehörigen Portion Zuversicht die Übergangszeit von einer Beziehung in die andere. 2. Practice - Wenn der Beat einsetzt, ist es schwierig, seinen Kopf ruhig zu halten. Eine großartige R&B-Paraphrase von Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" von 1999. 3. Crew Love - Dass OVOXO funktioniert, war ja schon auf Weeknd's Mixtape "Thursday" zu beobachten. Diese Kollabo manifestiert die Aussage noch zusätzlich. 4. The Real Her - Den wohl beeindruckendsten Gast-Beitrag auf "Take Care" liefert hier Andre 3000 ab. Drake und sein Mentor Lil' Wayne tun ihr Übriges. 5. Over My Dead Body - Das Intro trifft den Ton des Albums zielgenau.

the best album by drizzy!!
