Indeed, it is this willingness to be introspective and honest that makes Drake unique and helps make Thank Me Later special. His nimble flow is impressive his words are heartfelt, brainy, and surprising and while his singing may not be the best, it shows a vulnerability that is rare in rap circles. He never shows anyone up exactly (though Jay-Z's verse sounds kind of out of breath compared to Drake's), but he definitely proves that he belongs at the very top of the game. Elsewhere, Lil Wayne's verse on 'Miss Me' is his usual breathtaking verbal roller coaster, the-Dream's vocals on the verses of 'Shut It Down' are heartbreakingly sincere, and Jeezy adds some welcome ferociousness to 'Unforgettable.' It’s like all the guests had to bring their best game to keep up with Drake, and they didn't want the youngster to show them up. The T.I./Swizz Beatz track “Fancy” is a fun and sassy summer jam with a huge hook, his track with Jay-Z ('Light Up') is a fierce takedown of the Industry and the damage it can wreak, and the Nicki Minaj collabo 'Up All Night' is a tough-as-nails boast that features Drake at his most insistent.
