Fuck that “Abe Beame, you gotta chill” shit.

Sometimes, you can judge an album by its cover. In 1988, Chuck D and Flava Flav defiantly glared through prison bars. It perfectly matched the angry, gritty, militant work contained on the cassette within, lashing out against late term Reaganomics, Ronald Reagan and the country he ran. In 1994, a toddler sat alone in a white void. Ready to Die was bleak and nihilistic, an indictment of the callous and racist society that child would be raised in and the bleak, nihilistic, callous young man that society produced.

In 2011, a half Jewish, Canadian, middle class child actor hunched over a table adorned with gold trinkets. The walls are covered with watercolors in thick, ornate frames. In the center of the composition is Drake, swaddled in black cloth and chunky gold jewelry, looking down, both literally and figuratively. He’s pensive, deep in thought and unhappy, des

Drake (musician)

Canadian rapper (born 1986)

Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian rapper, singer, and actor. As a figure in popular music, he has been credited with popularizing R&B sensibilities in hip-hop artists. Gaining recognition by starring as Jimmy Brooks in the CTV teen drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001–2008), Drake began his recording career in 2006 with the release of his debut mixtape, Room for Improvement (2006). He followed up with the mixtapes Comeback Season (2007) and So Far Gone (2009) before signing with Young Money Entertainment.[5]

Drake's first three albums, Thank Me Later (2010), Take Care (2011) and Nothing Was the Same (2013) each debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top ten singles "Find Your Love", "Take Care" (featuring Rihanna), "Started from the Bottom", and "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan).[6] His fourth album Views (2016) lead the Billboard 200 for 13 non-consecutive weeks and contained the singles "Hotline Bling"

Drake

Toronto's actor and rapper Drake (Aubrey Graham), a member of Lil Wayne's crew, became a star thanks to Best I Ever Had, from the short mixtape So Far Gone (2009), and thanks to the over-hyped album Thank Me Later (2010), on which he delivered some of the most ridiculous self-analyzing lyrics ever rapped/sung to humble atmospheric synth-laden arrangements (mostly Noah "40" Shebib) usually reserved for r&b crooners (a cross between James Blake and Kanye West). Nonetheless, Over (one of his smoothest transitions from pop singer to rapper and viceversa), the relatively upbeat and pounding ballad Find Your Love and Miss Me (in which Lil Wayne steals the show) further increased his popularity.

Take Care (Cash Money, 2011), another slab of obnoxious juvenile autobiography, features the eerie soul narrative Marvin's Room and spawned a record number of hits, notably The Motto, produced by Tyler "T-Minus" Williams. The rapper fails miserably to engage, but the production by Canadian producer Noah "40" Shebib, Jamie Xx and Just Blaze is admirable.
