believe it or not, The Weeknd revealed that Take Care was built around House of Balloons leftovers. it makes a lot of sense to me, as the production is epic - a blend of post-dubstep, ambient and R&B that creates a great atmosphere, but Drake himself just wasn't there yet. however "Marvin's Room", "Cameras" and "Look What You've Done" are all incredible and worth remembering.
as far as Drake's ability goes, Nothing Was the Same and If You're Reading This.. are easily better. his presence is a lot stronger now, plus he's learned how to deliver his thoughts better and clearer. back then he was a dork and a cornball. shit he might still be one, the type of guy who gets dumped by Rihanna because she only wants casual sex
but he has feelings for her, he's too attached, but now he knows how to work with it. he seems to evolve with each project, so his next one might as well be the best one yet.
and we can all agree that "Fear" is still one of his best songs.
