    By the album's close, however, his vulnerability risks tipping over into maudlin self-pity. [Sep 2010, p.103]

    It's those constant and predictable superstar interjections that prevent the album from standing out as much as it had potential to do.

    Drake's hooks are flimsy and irritating. His long-winded emo choruses gnaw at your brain. He complains about fame way too much. He mentions Kelsey Grammer for no reason. He's completely humourless. Worst of all, he sounds like a frog – not like Kermit in Rainbow Connection, but actual croaking.

So with that being said I suggest you look elsewhere for in your face spitting, because you won't find it here on this lackluster debut.… Full Review »

    Impressive debut album. Drake possesses some serious skills on the mic, being able to actually hold a tune unlike his advocaries who think Impressive debut album. Drake possesses some serious skills on the mic, being able to actually hold a tune unlike his advocaries who think that they could, and if you're still on that whole "Drake can't rap" boat, I advise you to get off because it's a quickly sinking ship.… Full Review »
