However, R&B-like ballads are not exactly what the young artist’s supporters hoped and expected to have on this CD because many of them already were seeing him placed among contemporary hip-hop biggest figures. Lil’ Wayne, Alicia Keys and Kanye West took their individual parts in this process. In general, these compositions are nice and attractive, to a large extent thank to the people Drake managed to get involved in the making of the album. Instead of those, Thank Me Later offers repeatedly sad and sweet crooning about dates and breakups, promises and betrayals. Nonetheless, the considerable part of the audience were looking to hearing massive texts with unordinary rhymes and acute words.

The last couple of years showed that Drake has a great many abilities and skills. Yet you could not have expected anything different. Considering the performance alone, it is a flawless effort. And we can not even assume what they might think about what this record is about. We may only speculate on the number of those hip-hop fans who were awaiting this album rubbing their hands with glee. The tracks of higher quality and those that are not so good alter one another so that the entire record sounds very cohesive and interesting. The album highlights ballad-like melodious choruses alongside solid structures of dark and prominent beats. This single is only a tine bit better than Unforgettable, Light Up, and Thank Me Later. Over is the track that became a hut and radio favorite soonest. The lyrical predominant themes are personal relationships and conquering the much desired stardom. Drake does much singing and puts it first before rapping. Yet the great majority of the set here reflects some other influences. Now, what is Drake’s music? The first tracks, Fireworks in particular, sound like a continuation of what So Far Gone is. There is nothing extraordinary about this design: it follows tried and proved solutions used for albums by popular music performers. Thank Me Later cover depicts Drake in his prime looking somewhere far beyond. Only time can tell how much he can succeed.

However, Drake, apparently, made a decision to reach out for listeners not only among classic rap fans, but in some other music communities. It is good when musicians strive to work out their specific concept, approach or style since the very beginning. Well, the artist is entitled to doing whatever he desires whilst his songs are being written, performed and recorded.

Many are going to take Thank Me Later as an experimental work because it is simply not done by the standards of the best hip-hop works ever, unlike So Far Gone. Although the time interval separating these two releases is pretty small, the music has things that are far from common. Last year, music lovers had the opportunity to assess the potential of the fresher by the very good EP So Far Gone. The Canada-born and, of course, promising rapper Aubrey Graham, or simply Drake, dropped his debut full-length effort, Thank Me Later, early in the summer 2010.
