This album was originally released as a free, promotional mixtape. This version of the album is much shorter. Please don't waste you money on this and just download it for free from datpiff.

I got into Drake a lot later than most people. Sure, I heard his songs on the radio and I thought they were pretty good, but it wasn't until I heard Thank Me Later that I became a true fan of Drake. So Far Gone has a different feel to it though, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What I like about Drake is that he's not a stereotypical rapper from the hood that raps about being a gangster and all that. He grew up in a wealthy household in the suburbs and he doesn't try to act like he's anything else. His songs bring a different feel and story to them that is rare to find in rappers today. I really like all the songs on the album (though I did have to grow to like Uptown) except for Houstatlantavegas and the Calm, which weren't bad songs, i just wouldn't have them on repeat. Great start though and I hope to see more from Drake in upcoming years.

I have been following Drake (Jimmy) since Degrassi. I thought that he was talented and a great actor and was destined for greatness. I then learned that he was a lyricist. I thought, oh no, here we go again. Here we go with another Nickelodeon person who thinks they can be successful releasing music. Then I heard "Best I Ever Had" and I hated it at first. I was thinking, what in the world was he thinking and he could have been recording another episode of Degrassi instead of this crap. But as I continued to listen I found myself singing it randomly during the day. I was laughing to myself because I knew I hated the song and now I cannot get enough of it. Then "So Far Gone" came out and it all fell into place for me. I enjoyed every track and could not wait for his next release. My ratings of this album is as follows:

1. Houstatlantavegas: 3/5. This was a little more out of my style of liking than usual but good to listen to on occassion. Just not on repeat for me.

2. Successful: 4/5. This was a great one but I think I like the version on Trey Songz album more.

3. Best I Ever Had: 5/5. This song crept up on me and now I listen to this daily

4. Uptown: 2/5. Was not one of my favorites by a long stretch.

5. I'm Goin' In: 5/5. Was a great track. Maybe not radio friendly but this was a dope track!

6. The Calm: 4/5. Good song

7. Fear: 5/5. I related to this song so much it is eerie. "And my uncle ain't even messaging me. And him missing in my life is kinda messing with me. I hope this isn't one of those forever things. It's funny how money can change everything." Touched a personal cord with me.

All in all, this is worth every penny of your money so I hope you give it a listen!

For only having 7 songs, I think it was worth the buy

Rap music has gotten so commerical that it has divided into pop/authentic. If you enjoy rap music don't be discouraged. Artists whom drop albums with characterists of rap music are sometimes examied as if they were trying to put out authentic traditional tunes that remind us of how it all began. This artist as many of his counterparts aren't traversing that. Instead they put out entertainment media that is ok in essence but please don't be confused and compare it to classical rap music that birthed itself from the great city of NYC. If you're going to attempt to be a true rap artist you're intentions will be felt through the wire.
