This album is just pure nostalgia. I'm not even a Drake fan like that, but being fresh outta high school in 2011 driving down lake shore drive bumping Miss Me on repeat is engrained in my head.
i was 13 living in a group home, we had radios in our rooms, would hear this fancy, whats my name ft. rihanna, moment for life, successful all time young drake nostalgia was real with this video
Broo, I was in grade 5 when this came out haha, it was crazy seeing somebody from your city get features like Jay Z and Alicia Keys. Now look at where he is a decade later, crazy inspirational.
Word, this came out during my freshman year of HS lol. I’m not as big of a Drake fan anymore as I was but man this whole era of hip hop means a lot to me
yuppp couldn’t have said it better
Nothing beats summertime chi
Im not really a fan of Drake but this album dropped at a significant time in my life when I was in highschool. It's one of those "you had to be there" moments in music. This is where Drake truly became a superstar.
"You had to be there" moments are just cap in music. Sure they exist, but the true timeless music lasts generations.

@@xzotic6 i disagree because sometimes if you listen to music later than it was released and the artist has already made better music, you won’t like it as much because you already know what they’re capable of but if you listen to it at the time it’s released you’ll feel it more because you have nothing to compare it too (idk if this makes sense i’m bad at explaining)
@@renee7271 i think they moreso meant this is where Drake became a star in the hip hop realm. Like to “us” this is when he really blew up. He def became more known to a wider audience with Hotling Bling tho
@@xzotic6 not even remotely true opinion. Listening to Drake in 2010 when he was the next new thing, you digest the music differently because your perception of what’s “good” is different. Come back when your frontal lobe fully develops 🤣

The Resistance is a top 5 drake track of all time honestly. the realness and relatability of the song is unmatched wether you’re famous or not. production is incredible as well
Thank you i’m glad someone else said this
My fav song on the album… shit used to put me in a contemplative trance. Crazy good song
@@AckeeandSaltfish still does put me in a trance tbh
absolutely
My fav song on the album
Easily my favorite Drake album. The rawness and hunger to make it in the game translates perfectly, and its crazy to see how far he’s come. The Resistance is a perfect drake track. All the features on this album are great, maybe it’s the nostalgia but I just love this record.
Easily top 3 Drake album. These young cats don’t even know
100 percent agree, you could hear the hunger of him wanting to succeed in this album.
I have made a tradition of listening to it coming back from school, unforgettable hits every time
@@karabomodibane3557 best track on the album
It’s the nostalgia for sure
Kelsey Grammer was the executive producer of the show "Girlfriends" that premiered in 99 and ran for 8 seasons about a group of black women (all friends) going through ups and downs in their everyday lives. Great reaction as always! 🙌🏽❤️
It’s also a play on the fact that Kelsey is a common girls name, and he wrote it (Grammer = grammar) for your girlfriends.
Fancy had a chokehold on me. Such a classic album.
The resistance still one of my favorite songs he’s ever made
You have great taste
This is legit my second favorite drake album. You just can’t beat the nostalgia vibe of these songs and we’ll never get it again from drake
My second favourite after take care
This is a tie for 2nd with Take care for me. #1 is NWTS personally
@@dylanmurphy9389 probably same. Take care is definitely one though
such a nostalgic album fax
what’s your #1?
Albums full of pure nostalgic hits
You stopped reacting to music . Why?
Real shit! same here....gezz good times
He was more or less pushed by the label to make this album to ride the success of So Far Gone, and it’s one of the most expensive debut Rap albums ever (You can tell by the features and the production), hence why it sounds so commercial.
That being said this album is a nostalgia trip, one of the Soundtracks to a great 2010 summer after my junior year of High School. It’s not his best but I’ll always hold it close to my heart
It's good though. Album is a classic
u can say that this was hungry drake
I agree however it’s a great album and full of hits 🔥🎶
This version of Drake hit at the EXACT moment it needed to for my life. I started college in 09/10 and met my future wife at the end of freshman year. All the music from this era shaped the fuckery we got into lmaoooo
Loved this comment. Much love to you and yours!
man this album,
songs like fancy, the resistance fireworks, over, find your love, best i ever had, i was 6/7 years old hearing those songs not really thinking much of it but now that i’m 20, and listening to music i heard when i was 6, i can truly say wow. At the time i thought nothing of these songs but now these songs are amazing. And they give me a sense of nostalgia
It’s so sad that this album is mostly forgotten to time. It’s really solid and definitely top 3 Drake album for me at least.
you’re 100% right but i think its a top 4
I don't even have a nostalgia factor to this album because I was in elementary school when this came out and I never listened to this when it came out (except for the songs that were on the radio). But I think this album is really good
Easily one of the best debuts in recent hip hop.
Listened to it back when I first started college. It’s top 2 right behind Take Care imo. No skips but not that many classic tracks either imo.
Anyone older than 20 would recognize it
That second half of fancy always hits
13:52 Whatttt?!?! losing smh 🤦🏾♂️ thts pure greatness right there jon.. tht nostalgia is so rare
Jon definitely wasn't feeling this album. Clearly not indicative of how Drake fans feel about this album, shit is easily top 3 Drake album 🔥
@@WhipItSBreezy Fax
@@WhipItSBreezy yeah I was like 😔
I'm actually shocked he doesn't like it. This album is literally wat drake's known for, rap with pop and r'n'b.
So Far Gone & Thank Me Later are some of the best in his discography and deserve to be in the conversation with projects like Take Care and Nothing Was The Same
Thank me later doesn’t have the consistency as those 3 nor did it age as well. I like it but I’d prolly take views over this tbh
Thank Me Later just hasn’t aged well compared to other Drake albums. it just doesn’t measure up to a lot of his newer albums i’d definitely take More Life, Views over Thank Me Later
Take Care, NWTS & Thank Me Later are my top 3 Drake albums. These 3 albums have so many Drake classics to me.
@@Twilight.Princesssameeee!
thank me later is better than NWTS, im sorry.
and the highlights on NWTS were better than any song on thank me later. its just that there were some horrible songs on that record
The nostalgia is hitting hard right now 😩
I remember buying this album on CD. It's still a solid Drake album
Kanye’s production on Find Your Love is sooo great. Kanye and Drake together never missed
That production is genuinely horrible😂 the drums are mixed soooo terribly
Top 5 for this album personally
1. The resistance
2.Fireworks
3.Ceces interlude
4.Over
5.Shut it down
Fancy over the resistance easily
This is probably my favorite Drake album for the nostalgia, the production is so good and gorgeous at times on this. I was in 6th grade when this dropped I was like 11. Now I'm 24 now I think that's the age Drake was around this time so it hits me harder now...
this is definitely an album that you had to be there for to get the full effect of it. drake’s ability to take you back to an exact time in your life is what makes his music so timeless. so much nostalgia in this album and most of the songs on this record was the soundtrack to summer when i was 16.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION THANK YOU JON😁
Karaoke was when I realised I like more music than just real hip hop, I still remember fading away into my bed while listening to it lol it’s so chill.
Also, resistance is easily in my top 5 drake songs
Karaoke is so fucking slept on
Yeah Karaoke prob my favourite song on the album
You got taste..
Me and my friend were just going back over old Drake a few weeks ago. This and Take Care and NWTS came out between 9th grade - freshman year of college for us. Drakes sound paired very well with that “coming of age” stage for us and as such this era of Drake kinda has a real special place in my heart
Bro that era was so diffy. I wish time travel existed. 2007 - 2017 Drake > 2017 - Now Drake
@@PRODJUN i miss that era of hip hop in general bro. Back when Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Kid Cudi, Mac Miller, and many more were fresh on the scene and hungry. Back when Wayne and Kanye were still running the game. To me that was the closest thing to a modern golden era of rap that we had. Before the mumbling, before the clout chasing, you didn’t have to rap about killing, it was just about making good music and rapping your heart out and being yourself with a lil bit of singing and harmony added in.
Hell even the trap music back then was better IMO lol I’ll take old Jeezy, Gucci, Waka and OJ da juiceman over these new dudes any day
@@YoungYahtz94 all factual. feels like a time machine listening to that cudi
Possibly my favorite Drake album tbh. Also, Ye produced Show Me A Good Time, and Find Your Love was a leftover from 808's if i'm not mistaken. Great era.
this album came out when i was 10 years old. still timeless
same
This brings me back to high school all over again. Needed this throwback bro glad you did your Thang on this 🙌 💯
Drake has spoken about this record as it kind of being a rushed project, pressure from the label to work with big names, big producers, to make a standout debut album. Which really took away from what Drake is as an artist, not having a lot of 40 on the record really hurt the sound of this album overall. You hear it a ton in the lyrics of this album, everything is moving so fast in his life as he's skyrocketed to superstardom in mere months since So Far Gone.
FYI, you still have 2 mixtapes - Room for Improvement (his very first project - very old Jay-Z inspired) and Comeback Season.
He gotta Atleast do comeback season man. Some real gems on there
Room for improvement is Joe budden inspired not jay same with comeback season
Nothing about this album felt rushed to me at all I have no clue what people he talkin about when they listen to this album it was perfect from the jump only thing this album was missing was 9am and you know you know .
@@lulanokonwo6274 So Far Gone came out in Feb. 2009, Thank Me Later came out in June 2010. That's not a lot of time to blow up into superstardom, tour with Lil Wayne, meet all of these artists you looked up to, and then proceed to working with them and writing dozens of songs for an album.
Hip-Hop is held to a higher standard of how quickly artists fizzle out and how quickly they need to put out music. The label rushed him into creating a debut project. Thank Me Later had many songs that leaked early on, so the album was presumably finished at least a month or two before release.
With Take Care, he approached it differently. He locked in with 40, he took his time, and they worked on the album until the final hours before release, as they do now. They've followed the Take Care formula ever since.
@@TheEPSD2 okay makes more sense
This Drake 1st studio album and is a classic Drake project man…. Extremely underrated in his discography…. Top 5 Drake project imo 🔥
Top 3
@@felix3033 Oh I can respect that…. Whats ur top 3 Drake projects?
@@felix3033 ur smoking 😭
@@joemamma4575 IYRTITL, NWTS , Thank me Later 🤷♂️
@@felix3033 🔥 List… my Top 5 prolly 1.Take Care 2)NWTS 3)CLB 4)IYRTITL 5)Thank Me Later
This was his prime for me. The energy in the music is pure
it’s always disappointing when he doesn’t like some of the older stuff he reacts to but then i remember part of the reason we love these songs is the nostalgia and that isn’t a factor for him
Thanks for doing this Jon, summer 2010 this was all I bumped! Classic and underrated album. No skips!
Such a nostalgic Album to me, barely in my top 5 Drake Albums but still love it for what it is
This is a part of my childhood I could never get back I remember bumping this shit during my high school years and every day after this is a timeless classic
As a major Drake fan, it’s difficult for me to determine what my top 3 projects of his would be but I really do believe this album has a chance of making it, I love the young, raw, on the come up Drake energy throughout the tracks, it takes me back to my late middle school/ early high school years, and I really love the production of this album. It’s very commercial but admittedly, it’s sonically pleasing. Also as Jon said, I’ve listened to these tracks hundreds of times each so they’ve obviously only aged like fine wine for me.
I feel the exact same way! Haven’t come to this album in a while but the production is inspiring! Forgot how crazy it was! I have such a hard time placing his top 3 albums cause the third place is kinda interchangeable with any album of his lol. They are all 8/10 or better so it’s a minuscule point difference. Take care will always be my favorite album ever though!
I'm so happy you did this one bro, it's one of my favorite albums from the 10's.
Love always, keep it up JD!!
The one I've been waiting for to be reacted by you.
Great memories come to mind when going through this album
Thank you Jon
This album has that signature Drake/Boi 1da/Noah 40 production, it really takes you back to that era and where you were when it came out. 😌
This album is an absolute classic. Even when just Best I Ever Had dropped it was everywhere & anywhere. Radios would play it 24/7 and just bleep half the song. It was actually crazy how big it was
Every album strikes a different feeling and a memory from a certain time in their life that brings back good memories
Jon was experiencing peak music at 13:32 without even knowing it
Crazy I was in elementary school when this came out lol everyone was on this album, such great nostalgia .
This album is a pure classic dont need to say anything else Drake has been top of the game since 2009. That is is why he is one of the goats. Btw Over has one of the coldest beats of all time.
Favourite tracks
The Resistance
Over
Show Me A Good Time
Up All Night
Unforgettable
Light Up
Miss Me
Find Your Love
Thank Me Now
Best I Ever Had
F the seagulls
I was literally listening to this album this past weekend...always bump to it every now and again. Easily my favourite Drake project🔥🙌
love these retrospective first listens Jon
There’s a sitcom called Girlfriends starting Tracee Ellis Ross that was produced by Kelsey Grammer.
This came out early though idk if that was already explained.
This album is a classic. The time period of this project.. epic times bruv
there’s just something about the way drake used to rap & sing from like 09-16. shit was special
One of my favorite albums by Drake. This is the Drake 10 year old me gravitated towards, even as a young kid. Fancy still a top 5 Drake song IDCCCCC. Also I feel like even though Find Your Love is one of my favorite Drake songs, Kanye should have kept it for 808s. Their concert a few months ago confirmed that it would have made 808s even better.
Man this brings me back
So happy ur doing this now Jon!
The Resistance is just distilled nostalgia. Possibly my Fav track off the album
Find Your Love will forever be my fav drake song
there are some true underrated gems here. i remember listening to this in summer 2010, great memories
F THE SEAGULLS! 😂
A true classic! Love the reaction, Jon! 😎
i would love to experience hearing this for the first time again, album is a 10/10.
You jus made me go back to this classic
swear this was already a video, like I have memories of him reacting to this, especially best I ever had and he said it was the first song that didn't do anything for him but it's a good radio song.
yaaaas we’ve been waiting on this one! turn it up!!
pleasant surprise, this is such a nostalgic album for me
9:43 the beat impression made me spit out my food lmao, love that beat
oh my this makes me feel so nostalgic
some pretty incredible nostalgia listening to some of these songs again! like all drake projects i think this one grows on you more with time but as always loved getting to listen along/hear your thoughts! oh & F THE SEAGULLS
Missed 9am in Dallas 🔥
This was my soundtrack before basketball games in high school. Memories man 😂
An all time classic from Drake so much of my middle and highs school years were listening to these songs
Miss me, over, find your love and best I ever had were bangers back in the day.
i cant believe you never heard this one, i thought it was kinda mid at first but after a second listen it’s just crazy nostalgic. Shut It Down is definitely the best song on this album btw
Holy shit I’ve been waiting for this!!
Some of the greatest Drake songs ever
From being turned down by record labels to being Crowned The Artist of the decade... Now Thats one hell of a success story
There was a remix of Light Up that mixed a Biggie Smalls verse into it. I was absolutely obsessed with it for so long. Put it on a few mixtapes for my friends. That being said, top 3 for me is:
Up All Night
Light Up
Miss Me
The features really made this album for me. Fireworks is a close 4th. Shut it Down is 5th.
A classic.
Thank Me Later is easily my top 3 favorite Drake albums. Nostalgic and great! I still remember my mothers co-worker handing me this CD when it releases since he knew I liked So Far Gone.
Unforgettable, light up, fireworks, the resistance all my favs . Pure nostalgia. Love this video
Also “over” to me is one of the most iconic drake songs ever… I’m sure you have heard it Lolol
Find your love???
Karaoke is so underrated classic af🔥. i hope that one grows on you jon
fancy & find your love were definitely the two tracks that you couldn’t get away from back in the day. here in the states (washington DC) you can sometimes can stil hear find your love on the radio on the right stations.
Kelsey Grammer was a producer on the UPN show Girlfriends.
Man what a nostalgia trip, still hits today.
This album and take care are PRIME drake man. I was in high school. Great memories to these songs. When kids clown him these days I just shake my head.
This album represents so much for a lot our childhoods. Amazing album
First concert I went to was the Thank Me Later tour. Shit was 🔥🔥🔥
You are by far my favourite reviewer on YT. You celebrate what should be celebrated without fanboy revelry or bias. You take the piss out of things when they need to be but it’s not done with vitriol. The seagulls man. Enough said.
A lot of these songs are just vibes … I don’t think it’s an easy listen in this capacity …. But just driving around with the windows down at night hits …. Definitely Nostalgia helps too like Jon alluded to…. This was the soundtrack to my sophomore year of high school so the memories associated are heavy …. Great reaction still 👌🏽🔥
man this album,
songs like fancy, the resistance fireworks, over, find your love, best i ever had, i was 6/7 years old hearing those songs not really thinking much of it but now that i’m 20, and listening to music i heard when i was 6, i can truly say wow. At the time i thought nothing of these songs but now these songs are amazing. And they give me a sense of nostalgia
its crazy to hear how much drake back then sounds like lil wayne. this album brings back so many memories. great review!!
I still get chills and emotional over this album. I was in high school just enjoying life and enjoying the early rise of the 🐐 Drake. Thankful for this album
Ahhhh, summer 2010, Florida. The memories.
The beat of Show Me A Good Time sounding like seagulls and the next song being Up All Night is too perfect 😂😭
this album dropped when i was in high school and damn itll always be a banging throwback, especially Over, Miss Me and Best I Ever Had
7:07 👌🏼 exactly! Keep doing your thing Jon!
This album came out right after my freshmen year of college and it got me thru a lot of shit….especially me dealing with girls that I was fucking with on and off. Karaoke was was one of them ones along with, shut it down, miss me was huge, fancy took a while but it grew on us all, shit the whole album was a masterpiece to us back then it was so different but what we needed…so many different sounds and styles/sides from him. I think it built us all a taste for all types of experimental sounds/genres of music going forward and honestly, this is what he still does today 👌🏾🙏🏿💨
Really happy you're doing this now. People have no idea about this type of Drake. Shit was legendary.
Pure pure pure nostalgia!!
Up all night is a freakin CLASSIC!!!!
to this day fancy is still one of my favorite drake songs, its the song that i first heard from him that wasnt a pure radio banger that solidified me as a longterm fan of drake. i used to listen to that song literally every day damn near at one point lol this album and that one song specifically are just so nostalgic to me for that period of time.
This brings me back to being in middle and high school.
The memories with this album 💿
Man this album is so nostalgic
I have always liked this Drake album the best. Fireworks, Miss Me, & Shut It Down are my faves.
"F the Seagulls" Peace to You and Your Loved Ones Jon!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
