Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name3.5 greatDrake Thank Me LaterLyrically, that’s mostly what Thank Me Later thrives on: even when he’s pleading some anonymous love interest to “put those ***in’ heels on” or boasting as he does on “Over,” he sounds delightfully sincere, and that undeniable “everyman” charm shines through. Although he’s grateful for his success (he even makes sure to thank mentor Lil’ Wayne on the lush opener, “Fireworks”), he knows that a lot of the appeal of his sleeper hit mixtape So Far Gone was that of the underdog (bar a few A-list guest spots, it’s inarguable that the kid basically rose to the top on his own), and so it is with Thank Me Later, even if he’s now as much of a household name as many of the people who help him out by throwing in verses and such. In fact, now he’s helping them out as much as they are him, a healthy relationship inadvertently summarized in this little exchange between Bun B, formerly of UGK, and the man himself on “Miss Me”: “Drake, you got ‘em, right"” urges Bun B, to which Drake coolly replies, “Yeah, I got ‘em, Bun.”
