.....And the Numbers are In ... (Thank Me Later -Drake)


...And Drake sold at least 463,000 copies (not including the other millions who downloaded the album when it leaked) his first week and has reached no. 1 on the Billboard charts ...


I was thinking of writing a review, but seems like according to the numbers most of you have heard the album..I am a fan of Drake and I do hope he as a person retains himself while in the midst of the "industry -the Monster," although some of the tracks reveal the struggle that most artist seem to go through.. well not only artist but people who dream and then reality strikes; Bittersweet. but he also posses the cocky free attitude of a young man who has the world in his hands with Jupiter between his toes.. on top, its amazing how he still comes off humble, attracting music lovers of all types (mass appeal)


One thing I will say is Thank Me Later is a solid album, if you like Drake you definitely got what you paid for, if you never liked any of his music maybe you should pass, but a couple tracks may peak your interest like "Resistance" which is my favorite track on the album and the one i think is (in my opinion)the most lyrical, also love the swag on "Thank Me Now"

Last Words..

this album is a motivator for dreamers and artist alike ... pick any line it will relate to you, and you can play it back and forth all the way through, it did take awhile for "Karaoke" to grow on me, if i had to pick a least favorite that would be the one.. so i would say pick it up.. but like I said you know you already have it. =)
