Then ‘'Light Up" is a real hip-hop moment, and I end with a song called “Thank Me Now.” Even though it’s happy, it’s still me rapping and I’m letting you know the story shall continue. Even a curator would say there’s really nothing special about the cover, just an up close sketch of the rapper’s face a’la Shepard Fairey’s Barack Obama ‘Hope’ portrait, but still, add this to the collection of hype the rapper has been getting. has released a number of commercially successful albums, including Drake's Thank Me Later (2010) and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). And you go into “Over” and you start hearing “Show Me a Good Time,” “Fancy,” and it just gets bigger and sonically you hear Kanye West and Swizz Beatz and it’s like, ‘Oh, what’s happening?’ And then there’s still little So Far Gone moments in there, like the end of ‘Fancy’ – the beat switches.

Hence why we were excited to catch a glimpse of the artwork for Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later. And that’s why I continue with three songs that almost could have been on So Far Gone, which is “Fireworks,” “Karaoke,” and “The Resistance.” Thank Me Later is a very listenable album with several songs that will get stuck in your head for days.
This album, I definitely wanted it to be consistent with that sound, because I felt like So Far Gone – the story and the sound – it was like a teaser of a story that I wanted to tell and I feel like it ended off on a note that just need to be continued, I didn’t want to just make this first album and completely forget about every thing I had just rapped about and start from a new perspective.
But with his 2009 mixtape So Far Gone, he had rocketed straight to. According to Songfacts, Drake told MTV News: Technically, Thank Me Later, released 10 years ago, was his debut album.
