If you MATURELY overlook the cursing, you can appreciate the talent that Drake possesses. Its incredibly honest, and there are lyrics that are easy to relate to. If you can listen responsibly, then this is an acceptable album. But if you have a child that repeats and lets what they hear influence their actions, then maybe they should wait a bit before pluggin' in the headphones.
This is really good song, but Drake does cuss a lot in this song. If you're mature this song won't be a problem, and you could always listen to clean versions of songs online and not hear all those cuss words.
Drake is probably the most popular Hip-Hop/ Rap artist now days... Some of the things he talks about aren't ment for kids. But hell... you can't stop a kid from listening to music. If anything. Drake isn't what you should be worried about. Any song with Lil Wayne is what you should keep a child away from. Lil wayne says in "The Motto"- "7 grams in the blu-t almost drowned in the pu--y so i swam to her butt". So, just be worried for that. Oh and HYFR. "Hell Yeah, Fu--ing Right". It's a great album full of great songs if your the age. 13+ is only people who should be really listening to this album.
P**sy, a**, b**ch, n**ga, f**k, motherf**ker, s**t, h**ker, h*e, f*g. Weed is referenced several times. some songs talk about porn and sex. The Motto, Lord Knows, Make Me Proud, Headlines, and Take Care are the best songs.
Man I don't know if to give this song four of five stars. But over all Drake and Rihanna are two of my favorite artists. Very explicit a couple references to drugs but, get the clean version!
great album cant let ur kid not listen to music. theyve prbly alrdy hrd these wrds b4 and its not that much and if they dont say it out loud who cares?!?!?
I got this album for christmas and have listened to it all the way through plenty of times. Drake talks about drinking and smoking, says almost all the words in the book, and talks about women. Beneath that is deeper messages about the troubles of fame. The music is amazing and the songs feature great beats, and on the slower songs, Drake shows how great of a singer he is. With features from other top notch artists like Lil Wayne and The Weeknd anyone who likes rap needs this album.
i love the take care album by drake. But lets get real. We all know we dont want kids swearing but in my view music is another level, its used as a vent for feelings(espcially hip hop)and i know that kids have heard this type of language , parents have to understand that! we heard it before!in school on t.v. on the street. but trust us that we will not repeat these words its only for musical pleasure, or get them the edited verison. plus wouldnt you rather choose music with your kids that THEY like and want then they going behind your back and listening to it AND they wont be listening to the clean verison i can tell you that. but give them the option of clean verision or when they grow up, which every kid hates to hear. but atleast giving them that option you will know that their music is safe from swearing- and like i said they are not foreign to these words just cause they dont say them doesnt mean they havent heard them- and if you know they have heard it and they didnt say it then???? you can trust them. Please parents understand what i'm trying to say. thank you and stay safe

Personally I found the Take Care album to be a bit depressing unlike Drake’s previous album “Thank me later”. The tracks were very good and have good meaning to them but I’m starting to think that Drake is running out of ideas for songs, because it took almost two years for his next album to drop. Now this does not diminish the fact that this album is great and has a very good story behind it but I believe that he could have done a better job on this. My favorite song from the album was “Look What You’ve Done”. The song tells about making it in the music industry, which for most is never a full ride to the top it takes time to become a “Big shot”. Some songs are indeed somewhat ridiculous like “ The Motto”. This song is what inspired the hipsters to start with the whole “YOLO” thing. Which in this album has more meaning than just going out and doing idiotic things. It really tells about how you never get a day back in your life all you have is today and how you take advantage of it depends on you. Over all I think the album was a Good improvable album.
Yes I know there is a lot of cussing and bad language on this album. However, a mature kid should be able to handle it.i think parents have a misconception about music. Kids are not going to run around screaming f*** you n***** just because they heard it in a song.
