Half this album is a poor excuse for R&B (Not as if current R&B is good music, mind you). While listening to it, I forgot Drake was a hip hop "artist". There is no energy in this album at all, I'm sure it could be used as elevator music...Being Lil Wayne's protege is also not a good thing either. :/
And yeah, he tries really hard to come across as tough and from the streets and a real thug like, but come on man... Everyone in Canada remembers you as Jimmy, the dude in the wheelchair, from Degrassi. DEGRASSI. What kinda "cred" can you possibly have when you were on a teen drama? lol, so fake.
