Drake Thank Me Later Album Leak 2010 Full List

You've already heard the story, but let's pause a moment to consider the craziness. A Canadian-born rapper (the best/only since Snow), who until 16 months ago was known for starring in high school soap opera called Degrassi, is releasing this year's most anticipated album. The hype for this can only be described as nuclear. Eminem, inarguably the biggest pop star of the last 10 years, has an album out next week and a single in the top 10, and I haven't even heard anyone mention it since it was announced two months ago. Not even radio DJs. The message is clear: It's Drake's world, and we're all just wasting space.

What's even more remarkable, in an age when young rappers see their debuts watered down to something unrecognizable (B.o.B) or killed by their major-label handlers (Wale), Aubrey Drake Graham's debut, Thank Me Later, arrives with the same hard-to-copy style as his 450,000 copy-selling EP, So Far Gone. This is an album full of goose feather-soft synths, sung-rapped vocals and songs about being hated with more Top 10-ready singles per square inch than any rap album in recent memory. It may have all the rap debut signifiers -- features from Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, The-Dream and Jay-Z, production from Timbaland, Swizz Beatz and Kanye -- but instead of those guys imposing their will on Drake, it's the other way around. For all its faults, Thank Me Later is at least unique to Drake's vision, something you can't say about many hip-hop albums any more.

Because of his relatively privileged upbringing (he's from a wealthy part of Toronto), Thank Me Later is less about chronicling and rising up out of his environment (like basically every rap debut since Illmatic) and more about how Drake is uncomfortable being famous. It takes all of 25 seconds for him to claim, "Money just changed everything/ I wonder how life without it would go." That sentiment rings pretty false -- dude did help blow up a bidding war for his services, landing a seven-figure deal with Young Money/Universal -- but it's in this sense that Drake connects with his only obvious stylistic forefather, Kanye West. But where Kanye was a famous producer before he started rapping and wondering whether or not he'd fit in, with Drake, it's like he only became famous in order to have something to sing about. This is, after all, a guy who worried that men would refuse to acknowledge his music at a time when no one even knew of his music.
