Drake continues to whet appetites for his sophomore set ‘Take Care’, today cranking up anticipation with the release of the album’s official cover.
The Hip-Hop titan unveiled the regal shot on his blog, pairing it with the following:
Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
See you soon.
Drake

The cover looks…interesting. Everyone wants those holiday sales as usual so the release date doesn’t necessarily surprise me. It’ll be interesting to see how all of these “artists” releasing around the same time end up fairing on the charts though.
A hot burning mess.I just expected a basic cover with his face on it, but in his effort to make it epic, he spectacularly screwed up…
GURL PLEASE u aint no KING nor are u ROYALTY. this looks like myspace photo! TRY AGAIN
This is too f****** good!!! Drake’s and Kelly Clarkson’s album on the same day?!!! That’s f****** amazing!
Very interesting. But I will definitely be checking for this album, as well as Mary J, Monica, Melanie, Mariah, Madonna, Usher and Brandy. *Listening to Simple Things Usher*.
LMAO @Malibu : ” Barbie this looks like myspace photo! ”
It’s like a low budget Kanye West outtake
did drake write that?????????????is he that smart and eloquent? damn am surprised. wished his lyrics were like that
Oh and also Alicia Keys *Listening to Troubles-Alicia Keys*
I’d love it if it weren’t for that goddamn chicken leg he’s holding. It killed it for me. The whole color scheme is good though
Oh lol jk, that’s an owl. Swear to god though, am I the only one who saw that?
@D.Strock….haha that isn’t a chicken leg. It’s an owl ornament.
@D.Strock. haha I thought it was a chicken leg at first glance too.
Chicken leg??NOPE! 😆 However, this looks like a holiday album cover meets travelling brochure.Although I doubt it, I hope his music won’t be as cheap, sloppy and all over the place as the cover of the album…
Btw, I don’t see the explicit content sign on the cover, so he probably doesn’t curse in the album at all!!This would be interesting with a talented rapper, but with Drake it’s probably going to be just an attempt at a clean album that the kids can buy too.
is this some kind of joke? this is one of the shittiest album covers ever, its a good picture but sucks to be an album cover
i like it, its like a black modern Henry the 8
He looks like the jewish version of Scarface/Godfather or someone. Also, trying to be “deep” & “philosophical” does not equate to brilliance… Especially if the “musings” are so… (Trying to find a word that fits…) Trite? Shallow? Idk…
I like it as an album cover.. It’s old school in a way that it gives the viewer a bit of “LOCATION” such as Aaliyah’s “One In A Million” cover and countless others. It makes me feel a classic vibe and gives you more to go on in reference to the artist’s personality, their frame of mind when recording the album, and the tone of the final album. Let’s hope the music goes along with the visual.
SN: Drake looks rather sad sometimes (like here) and creates some mellow almost depressing music to boot. You may say it’s just an album cover, but I think everything can be seen as more.
Actually this is the Aaliyah photo I meant, which wasn’t the cover but was at the same location:

@KNUCK Such an amazing Aaliyah picture.I have the album, but it’s the re-release, so I don’t have that pic.Aaliyah was a stunning woman.HOWEVER, the subway is different to the church.When a hip hop artist decides to shoot the cover in a church, then the content has to match the photo and I doubt that Drake is going to talk about God and religion in the album.Also, Aaliyah’s picture is not as incredibly low budget as Drake’s.Just saying…
it looks more like a booth at a restaurant to me! lol
sorry, is this Jewish? I mean, it gives me that vibe, but I can’t tell that it’s in a church?
LMAO
As someone said , it looks like it was shot in a restaurant booth.
These types of covers are a theme now! Watch The Throne, The-Dream’s 1977, and Now Drake’s. It has that ancient Royalty King Vibe. But I love it tho!!! It has me interested!!
That cover is so gay ! sorry ! Even look at the font in which ” take care” was written in !!
It looks like he’s waiting for Trey songz to pick him up ! He’s the man fan the game was talking about 😉
I dont see what you all talking about !
Everybody says Gaga & Beyonce are religiously corrupt but none of these ignorant f**** on here can clearly See that He’s comparing himself to Jesus. His theme is the Last Supper. The candle & gold” cup belongs next to Jesus. He’s saying that’s what he is. Jesus was Jewish too. Hello………
Well @Once Again since your so good a deciphering covers explain Watch the Throne cover and The-Dream’s 1977 cover… ( I’m waiting )
