subject: Drake's 'take Care' Free Mixtapes [print this page] You would think after Weezy's C4 spilled into public hands before its official release date that greater precautions would be taken to make sure Drake's sophomore LP didn't suffer the same fate, but think again. Take Care has leaked , and if you listen close enough, you can hear millions of copies being downloaded at this very second.
I'm predicting between 350-450K album's sold for Take Care's first week. What kind of numbers are you expecting it to put up? Also, for those of you that have heard the ... advanced version of this release, how does it stack up to Thank Me Later?
Instead of getting riled up, Drizzy shrugged it off, "I am not sure if the album leaked. But if it did thank god it doesn't happen a month early anymore." The Young Money rapper added, "Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it...and take care until next time."
"Take Care" is set to come out in the U.S. on November 15. The album was originally slated for October 24 but got delayed because he got a roadblock in clearing some samples in his new songs. "I do apologize for the delay but I promise that it is only for the benefit of our experience together," he stated.
The new song is upbeat with a pulsating beat and catchy piano in the background as Rihanna sings about taking care of a guy with a broken heart. Rihanna sings, "I've loved and I've lost," which is exactly what Drake's been through with her. Drake comes onto the track as the drums start pounding away even stronger. Drake then shifts into a speedy rap verse. The duo of Drake and Rihanna isn't a bad way to lead into the album at all.
Drake is looking to sell major units for his sophomore release, and with tracks like this one, it's sounding like it could be a major success for his second album. Teaming up with your ex-girl for a track might be tough, but Rihanna's one of the hottest in R&B, with Drake among the rising stars in hip hop, making this track an early winner.
