On this day 15 years ago, Drake released his debut album Thank Me Later

[Lucky_Lefty]

Same subject matter and crybaby shyt to this day...no growth

 

[Fukwatutalkinwatisaylaw]

Only played one Drake album in its entirety and this one wasn't it...after that mixtape Iost interest in him

Better as a collection of songs than an album.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Had a couple great records (Over, Fireworks, Light Up, Miss Me) but was a pretty meh album overall. It's 2025 so people gonna create their own narratives but at the time? That shyt was considered a miss. Same with Cole's first album.

[Da_Eggman]

 

[Canada Goose]

"Find Your Love" was such a great song back then




I still listen to that song from time to time, nostalgia



With being said, I never actually listened to this album, only heard random songs here and there



Didn't give a Drake album a full listen until WATTBA

 

[Illuminatos]

The Resistance
Fancy
Show me a good time
Shut it Down
Unforgettable
Miss Me
Light Up
Cece’s Interlude
9 AM in Dallas

All good songs. The hate this album gets is so overblown. I think people just disliked Find Your Love so they hate on the entire thing.

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

I enjoyed this album.

 

[desp]

This shyt was ass. I don't think any album disappointed me more since. Coming off 2 classic mixtapes and then he drops this

The Resistance was cool tho

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

We should thank him now

Not yet Breh….

 

[Buckeye Fever]

People won't consider it his best album(consensus is Take Care), but this is my favorite version of Drake.

I was getting up at 5 am to go to my job at Flexitech in Bloomington, IL

Tried to get off early when Bron made an appearance at State Farm corporate and the supervisor said they needed them brake lines assembled

Then I found out the appearance was for the kids and to promote More Than A Game.

Hell, I even loved that song
