"I know way to many people here right now that I didnt know last year, Who the F**k are yall" he spits on the lead single "Over", one of the better tracks on the album with a outstanding beat from Boi-1da. Money, cars, clothes, and hoes have become a more active part in Drake's life recently. It seems like his song "Successful" has fortold what would eventually happen to him. This is true for Drake considering that he didn't have all of the money and fame last year. "Money just changed everything" he speakes on the opener "Fireworks".
The biggest question mark here is, Can Drake match the hype with good music, or does this release doesn't deserve to be thanked at all. Drake however can't end up like the Asher Roth's, & B.O.B's whose debuts didn't match the hype they received. His hype has gotten him to a point that he is as hated as he is loved. If "Chillin" was as successful as "In Da Club", maybe Wale would rival Drake for sales right now. Great album, good songs, but with absolutly no hype to it and sold less than 50,000 copies. Now lets look at an album like "Attention Deficit" by Wale. It delivered on every level it was expected to and elevated 50 to the top of the game. Take for example 50 Cent's 2003 debut "Get Rich Or Die Tryin", it was the most hyped debut of a hip-hop album since "Doggystyle" by Snoop Dogg. Its the strangest thing isn't it? If you have it, your album can be successful, even if its lacking that critical reception.
