Drake, 40 and his rotating roster of guests try their damnedest to create a pop rap album that can compete with Kanye West’s monstrous My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Drake's worked on his own technical abilities, too, and both his rapping and singing are better than ever here
Take Care shines bright, utilizing the same concepts and notions as its predecessor but with far more lethal and appealing results.
He trumps his hitmaking mixtapes and fully commits through first proper foray into the album format with significant improvement
Like so many rap albums Take Care would greatly benefit from a cull of four or five songs.
Take Care is a record unsure of itself, certainly more focused and interesting than its predecessor, but still far from the classic Drake had hinted at.
