Take Care is undoubtedly one of Drake’s most successful albums to date.

The album was released November 15, 2011, and was his second LP. The delivery of this album became the catalyst for the cementation of his name and brand. Although his 2013 album, Nothing Was The Same, took the world by storm, its predecessor is still arguably his greatest work. The attention to detail is apparent, down to the sincere emotion of his heartfelt lyrics.

In October, Billboard commemorated Drake’s Take Care for withstanding 450 cumulative weeks on the Billboard 200, making him the third rapper to do so. With Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits, spending 550 weeks on the charts, and Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, spending 468 total weeks, he proves he is amongst the greatest to do it.

Drake is notably one of the greatest rap artists of our time. He trailblazed a lane of his own with his smooth vocals and, in a world where rap is a breeding ground for misogynistic lyrics, the Toronto rapper capitalized on his lover boy charm.

With the album celebrating its 10th anniversary of success, its only fitting we take a trip down memory lane. Here we are giving you the 6 God’s top six songs from this classic album.

The Top Six Tracks From Take Care

1. Marvin’s Room

Marvin’s Room is a fan favorite. The title is a reference to Marvin Gaye’s studio, popularly known as “Marvin’s Room”, where Drizzy recorded the track. Believe it or not, this song almost didn’t make the track list. Producer of the song, 40, convinced Drake to keep the track on the album following the track’s leak several months prior to the LP’s release.

Giving his signature polished and effortless vocals, this love turned sour track instantly became an anthem for the scorned lovers.

“I’m just saying you can do better,” sang Drake. The downtempo range created a congenial environment for drunk-calling our ex. With his unapologetic approach to overstepping boundaries, he really captured the essence of wanting that old thang back. Marvin’s Room opened doors to other R&B natives to jump in on the action. With covers by Chris Brown, JoJo, Teyana Taylor, and Jhené Aiko, this song proved its excellence.

2. Headlines

Drake debuted Headlines as the first single off the album. Drake’s hype train became a reality with this track. With the line, “The realest is on the rise, f*ck them other guys,” he gave fans a moment to realize the place he was gunning for in hip hop. This summer time jam provided the accelerated beat needed to really get a party going. Drake told Billboard:

“By no means is it the best song on my album, it’s really just the song for this moment, right now,” he said. “I always try to put forth a song with a message. A lot of people pick their single by what’s the strongest song. I don’t really do that. I like to make sure that the content is very relevant to right now.”

3. Take Care ft. Rihanna

With rumors of the two dating, this single came with a flirtatious vibe that sent the popular duo to the forefront of every convo. The Barbados fire-cracker is pop royalty and the Toronto rapper was on a steady climb, making for the perfect duet.

4. Crew Love ft. The Weeknd

A bromance was perfectly brought to life with this dynamic collaboration. Talks of groupie love are to be expected, especially from the charismatic charmer. The addition of The Weeknd gave a smooth essence to the arrogance this song brings.

“This ain’t no f*cking sing-along, so girl what you singing for,” is the perfect example of The Weeknd’s ability to deliver this rude but inviting line. They lovin’ the crew for sure with this one.

5. HYFR (Hell Yeah F*ckin Right) ft. Lil Wayne

The classic Drake and Lil Wayne team-up is one we are honored to receive. Anytime these two are on a track it is sure to be a banger. and “Hell Yeah F*ckin Right” was a banger indeed. This song is another alcohol-induced display of affection for his ex-lover.

“I learned Hennessey and enemies is one hell of a mixture,” Drizzy raps.

Conversely, this is a reoccurring theme in his work. Either way, this song gave us some upbeat rhymes contradictory to his usual melodic tunes.

6. The Motto ft Lil Wayne & Tyga

“The Motto” needs no intro. This track paraded the YOLO (You Only Live Once) train and awakened a time period for the rambunctious and unrestrained. Again, this Drake and Lil Wayne collaboration is why the two are amongst the greatest. With YMCMB labelmate Tyga, this song promoted the leisure seekers to emerge. The clubs kept this track in heavy rotation.

Whether you call him Drake, Drizzy, Champagne Papi, or Lover Boy, Drake is one of the greatest rappers of our time, maybe the greatest.
