Review of Drake- Thank Me Later album and sales

Well ya boi is back, its been a min lol, now since i been away HIP HOP has changed alot. In that time HIP HOP has lost 2 artist in LIL WAYNE AND LIL BOOSIE to the penal system, and was in a frantic search to find the next GREAT thing to fill the void, and in comes DRAKE. Now dude has come in and crated a buzz not seen since 03 when 50 cent came into the sence with get rich or die tryin'. He became affiliated wit LIL WAYNE and his YOUNG MONEY camp, been on countless mixtapes, even one classic mixtape SO FAR SO GONE(SOLD 70K IN 1 WEEK), has been featured and dropped hot verses along with some of the heavyweights of HIP HOP. Lost in everything was his ability to actually sing on his songs, coming from his early work early in his career. With so many push-backs his album finally arrived in stores on june 15, 2010, it was greated with mixed reviews, and with me giving my opinion on the matter, i seem 2 b called a hater because of my OPINION(smh). The review is as follow: scale of 1-10 i give it a 6 1/2 and here's why, with the lable of being called HIP HOP'S savior, he fell to delieverd on what the buzz crated a classic album, let alone at the very least a great album. Instead he delivers an R&B style album, with a depressing sound with the execptions of OVER and FIND YOUR LOVE(which was the commerical hits) and with the list of guest features, which really saved the album, the beat selection was some of the most horrible beats, i have ever heard. Overall the album really has no replay appeal to it, instead of caterin to a wide rang of fans, he stuck with only pleasing the ladies and nobody else. Now ppl ask me how come he didnt sell a milli or atleast crack 500k frist week, and the answer is very simple in parts 1. the state of music today, doin 468k frist week is a milestone, especially with you album leaking 3 weeks early 2. he never had that 1 big big crossover hit record like sum of the bigs have had (ex. 50 cent-in the club, lil wayne- lollipop, jay-z- empire state of mind, eminem-stan) these songs all have in common of being big big records that touched all fan bases from (ages 13-40+) all races and all genders. Without number 2 he wasnt gonna go platinum in 1 week. Now i kno alot of yall will read this and start sayin all im doin is hatin which is not true, i still give him props, cuz he was able 2 hang in sum songs with the big heavyweights before even droppin an album, so i give him his props where its due, only thing i had a problem with was ppl putting these classification on him, without having atleast an album, and once the album comes out, it fail 2 hit on sum levels, but ppl still brought it, ppl still listen to it, and will continue to support him and thats find, LOYALTY goes along way. I still think he can deliever something big and special(hopefully his next project) and even prove me wrong, but until then, this is where i stand......... AND I HOPE NICKI MINAJ SEES, HOW THINSG WAS HANDLE WITH DRAKE AND SHE DOSENT FALL INTO THE LINE AS HIM, OR IMA HAVE TO MAKE ONE OF HER. TAKE CARE EVERYBODY, THANKS FOR READING.
