Sure enough, the anticipation for Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, was only helped by the commercial success of "Best I Ever Had" at urban radio; but the thing I don't get is how people can say this guy is overrated.
Aside from being Lil' Wayne's protege, Drizzy 'Drake' Rogers has made quite a buzz for himself with the release of his mixtapes; so, public opinion aside, it would only seem fair to give credit where credit is due.
No other up and coming artist has had this much "hype" surrounding their debut album and already people are blogging about how he'll crumble under the pressure.
Whether he will or not remains to be seen, but one thing I do know is that Drake has everything he needs to be a success. Not only does he have the voice, charisma, and bravado; but substance, over all, is the most important characteristic to have nowadays and Drake is more of a breath of fresh air as compared to everybody else that seems content on being average.
Not to mention, he already has a [well] built in fan base. Either way he could conceivably be heralded as the G.O.A.T. when it comes to rookie M.C.'s but, before I get too far ahead of myself, how about we see how well-received Thank Me Later is when it drops this coming Valentine's Day.
Then, and only then, will I reserve judgment of my own; but, in the meantime, be sure to check for Drake as he is featured on the cover of this month's Fader.
