Will You Be Buying Drake’s ‘Take Care’?

Published: Tuesday 15th Nov 2011 by Sam

Today marks the global release of rapper Drake‘s sophomore set ‘Take Care’.

The LP follows on the heels of his 2010 debut ‘Thank Me Later’, which after delivering hits such as ‘Find Your Love’ and ‘Over’, went on to sell over 1.5 million copies in the US alone.

And while all eyes are on the success of this project, there remain some of who are skeptical of the 25 year old’s chances this go round. Yes, the album’s singles have charted relatively well, but the buzz is markedly less pronounced than a year ago. Add to that the premature leak, and we’re left with some pointing to the dreaded “sophomore slump”.

Ever eager to plough through the smoke and mirrors, That Grape Juice wants to know…

    these rappers today are selling their souls to get rich i hope drake doesnt join the illuminati….

  14. Jay November 15, 2011

    Of course, Drake is amazing! I hope he doesn’t lose his creative side/talent as time goes by. Look at Jay Z of today. Raps about the same damn thing.. Audemars wrist watch, hottest b**** at home, flying jets & haters.

  15. Davon November 15, 2011

    NO he has 0 talent and I wish people would stfu about the Illuminati. I’m so tired of hearing about it.

  17. Anne November 15, 2011

    No.

  18. Anne November 15, 2011

    But then I don’t buy rap period.

  19. mobwife November 15, 2011

    NOPE!

    His bravado simply fails to impress me. Drake just whins and weeps too much. I mean, come now Drake you had a fling with Rihanna. Hell, I’m exaggerating at that to be kind *cough* can you say a one-night stand? Unless he produces some bangers off this CD, I’m gonna have to let this one ride!

  21. Chile Please!! November 15, 2011

    ALBUM LEAKED ALREADY……….***SEARCHES IN MY MUSIC LIBRARY TO DELETE THIS TRASH ASS ALBUM*** HE COULD’VE DID MUCH BETTER…..SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE FIRST ALBUM BUT WORST.

  22. TRUTH November 15, 2011

    they look the same age in this pic

  23. Dev November 15, 2011

    He needs to release the “singing” from his repertoire. To my horror the only song i like is the song with (cough,cough) Rihanna (side eye of shame)

    Otherwise it’s rubbish

  24. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) November 15, 2011

    There’s no chance in hell 😉

  25. Get Real November 15, 2011

    Heard it, not worth it. I agree with everyone saying it’s whiny, and sounds like the first but a downgrade. That’s Take Care in a n** shell.

  26. Eric November 15, 2011

    I’m not a fan of Drake, I like “Find Your Love” and “Best I ever Had”, but I never looked further than that. And suddenly this album is popping out on every music site I visit f¡with GLOWING reviews! I don’t listen a lot to critics, but the critical reception has be so outstanding for this sophomore record of his that’s pretty difficult to ignore!

  27. jamir21 November 15, 2011

    No !

    Sorry Drake

    I only like “Take Care”, “Headlines”, “Make Me Proud”

  28. Kathy November 16, 2011

    Make Me Proud, Take A Shot For Me, Hate Sleeping Alone, Take Care, Doing It Wrong, HYFY, Look What You’ve Done…. I love this album. I CAN RELATE to it, and that’s why I like it.

  29. nicegirl November 17, 2011

    Maybe. There were a couple of songs that could have been left off, but there were songs like Over My Dead Body, Hate Sleeping Alone, The Ride, Doing It Wrong, The Real Her and Look What You’ve Done that were really good. I would give the album a 3.5/5.
