Crazy to think there’s still people who have yet to hear Marvin’s Room for the first time. There’s an entire generation who had a moment with that song alone in a dark room in 2011. You talking about how special the beats are isn’t an unusual thought. This is thought of as the golden era for Drake beat wise with his right hand man 40 handling the vast majority of the production. A lot of people nowadays wish he would return to crafting a project primarily handed by 40.

woahh how rare lol

40. 40 is the reason everything works. He's a top-tier engineer. There would be no DRAKE Drake without 40s impeccable ear.

I feel like this album is a taste of what an OVOXO album could be like

People forget. The Weekend and K Dot Features were what really made them household names at the time. Right after this good kid Madd city and trilogy dropped.

The crazy harmonica solo on “Doing It Wrong” was played by Stevie Wonder

You just brought back a lot of memories. What a throwback. And that Marvin’s Room first reaction was priceless. So crazy to think there are a lot of people who have never heard that song before! Keep it up. Nothing Was The Same is be right up there with Take Care. Also you should check out Bryson Tiller if R&B and rap is something you’re exploring!

This album is easily my favorite album of all time, it's helped me so much in life

NOTHING WAS THE SAME IS HIS BEST ALBUM NO CAP YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THAT ALBUM ASAP

It’s amazing to me that people can still react to Marvins Room for the first time. And this I why I love reaction channels

His best album to date. Nothing was the same is a close second. 30 songs of STRAIGHT vibes

Proud of you for catching Abel's vocals on Good Ones Go interlude. Edit: and you caught him on The Ride ❤️🙏

The ride one of my all time favorite tracks... drake's verses were perfect, and weeknd's vocals compliment it so well

(24:22) The singer's name is Jon B, he is a Singer that Babyface (another 90's singer) signed to his label in the 90's. Drake uesd a sample of Jon B's song called "Calling on You" from his album called "Pleasure Like You" from 2000, except Drake's producer reversed the sample and put some drums and a nice baseline to it :)

The Weeknd helped a lot with the album fun fact. I don’t remember how much he played into it but straight classic.

I wonder if she realizes that this means she has to do the rest of his albums now

Drake’s 3rd studio album NWTS is his best by far!!!! I would highly recommend reacting to more Drake projects! 🔥

If you liked Take Care, Nothing Was the Same might be his best work.

I’m so glad you did this, this album is the reason why I found my fav artist of all time (Abel), and is also one of my favourite albums of all time 😍

Throwback! Sometimes I wish I could re listen to Drizzy’s discography for the first time. ESP the older stuff. CLB OTW! Nice reaction video.

I just started crying while watching this because the way you reacted and how your emotions were brought back so many memories from that era.

i love that you enjoyed the instrumentals of these songs because i rarely see them get addressed and appreciate that but i wish you dug deep into some of the lyrics. some of my favorite lines by drake are on this album

This album will always remind me of fall/winter of 2011/early 2012, I remember being 13 coming off the school bus on snow days with this album playing in my headphones. Pretty much every kid in my grade was bumping this album. It visually takes me back to when Mw3/battlefield 3 were the go to video games, hanging out w old friends dt, my older sis in her high school days watching jersey shore/teen wolf lmao, her bf at the time pmo to Drake's older mixtapes, Lebron playing for the heat. Early 2010s had its own feeling for sure. Those who were in middle/high school when this dropped know what I'm talking about. This album solidified Drake's career in the rap game.

2AM, drunk on whiskey, dark room, Marvins Room. just hits you. found myself really enjoying this channel, watching her listen to "The Trilogy" for the first time, and now "Take Care" crazy to think its around 10 years old (House of Balloons on Trilogy is anyways)

man i love ppl who react in the narrative that u do; you're not hell bent/only focusing on the lyrics (so many ppl do as if thats the only thing that matters in music), you're digesting and appraising the instrumentals, the atmospheres, giving general takes to the instrumentation, and just Understanding the vibe the material brings. Really fresh reaction u got here, enjoyed every second of this.

your energy is amazing ! keep up the good work

So you are correct The Weeknd can be heard on a few of these songs not only on the back vocals but he also wrote a few songs of this album. Many people say that this album his heavily influenced by The Weeknd style who was on the come up at that time and it's true when you hear a song like "shot for me" you can totally imagine this song sung by Abel. Also the song "Take Care" is a cover of a Gil Scott-Heron of the same name (you can still hear his voice towards the end of the song) that was later remixed by none other than Jamie xx (from the band "The xx") which Drake use as his beat.

Take Care doesn’t receive the praise it deserves considering how well it’s aged. Nothing was the Same was just as good. Both are a perfect balance of singing and rapping.

I'm glad I found your video, I absolutely love this album and real glad you enjoyed it. Vibing right along w you 😂

I recently had my first listen to this album and I must say, wow. Doing It Wrong, Marvins Room, and Shot For Me are just incredible! Love Crew Love, Lord Knows, Headlines, and HYFR as well, but those 3 hit different

one of the best albums of all time it’s a classic

Wow the nostalgia. This album takes me all the way back to middle school.

I love watching first time reactions to Take Care, one of the best albums ever made !

This is a classic album it forever lives on the playlist

I still remember when this album dropped one of my metal head friends came to me and was like "you HAVE to listen to this new Drake album" I was so confused because he NEVER listened to rap. Instant classic, I still remember the moment I heard the album for the first time. Great times man

Loved your reaction to we'll be fine! Great video

Can't believe we got a first reaction to Marvin's Room 🤣 I thought everyone's heard it

I really enjoyed this video. Almost made it feel like it was my first time listening to the classic album all over again. Thank you!

This took me back, will always be my favorite album!

'Take Care' is Drake's best album and one of the greatest albums of the 2010's.

I cannot wait on till the lover boy album to drop 🔥🔥🔥

If you loved Crew Love please listen to the original version with another whole verse by Abel on it. It was originally his song and his extra verse sounds amazing.

Yes!, I been searching for someone to react at this album but didn’t find nothing, I’m actually excited (lord knows is my favorite) :)

You my favorite channel now you got so much success coming ya way you know music

This album got me through some rough nights. I would listen to it from start to finish 2 or 3 times during my shift when I was working over night at a terrible job. I will always have a myriad of thoughts and memories while listening through all of these songs. If you like the variety of beats, guest appearances and overall eclectic nature of this album, I highly recommend Diddy-Dirty Money: Last Train To Paris. It's a similar fun album from start to finish and I think it would also make for a great listen/reaction.

Love your reactions! The sample in “Cameras” is an old Jon B song, “Calling on You”!

Great reaction video 🔥 this is one of Drake’s best albums 🤩

Whoa! This is Nostalgic. Thank youu!

I'm here for this.

One of my fav reactions to Take Care Shelby. I was a junior in high school when this dropped. 😂 So many memories ✨✨

Take Care is definitely my favorite Drake album. You should definitely also react to Nothing Was The Same and If You're Reading This It's Too Late, because those albums are also very good and arguable his best projects.

There was one track that was on some editions on the album called Hate Sleeping Alone. That song is amazing and sadly it wasn't included in this video but I understand as one some platforms you won't have access to it

Nothing Was the Same is Drakes best by far for me! Definitely gotta get to that one next, love the reactions!

You deserve so many subs!!

I love sad drake. Add in all of the piano, harmonica and vocal samples and this just sounds timeless.

You should react to good kid, m.A.A.d city since you reacted to TPAB. It´s also gonna be 10 years old soon!

23:54 I maintain this is Drakes best work and the Jon B sample is inspired.

Loved the video as expected... just wondering if you're ever gonna do more Frank Ocean albums like Nostalgia Ultra, Endless or The Lonny Breaux Collection?

I really want to see your reaction on his next 2 projects, NWTS and IYRTITL, a really good 3 album run

GOOD CALL ON THE WEEKND VOCALS ON HEADLINES. I DIDNT FIGURE THAT OUT FOR MONTHS WHEN THIS FIRST CAME OUT

First time OMGGGG...Take Care is one of my favorite albums of all time !!

One of my top 5 favorite albums

10 years from now it’s still the same feeling as the first time or maybe more of it

I loved when you laughed at yourself during Headlines! Infectious. Great reaction

Awesome video👏

Wowowow you never heard this?! I gotta see this. This was my break up album when I went off to college and my ex and I broke up. So it's very impactful to me. You get my follow forsure. Loved the video. Drake really makes the best instgram caption lyrics 🙌🏽

Lord Knows, Shot for me, The Real her, Underground Kings, Crew Love some of my favorites

Goat reaction 🐐🎈

Drakes best Album 🙌🏾… man the nostalgia 😩

My Favorites In Order (basically the whole album): Cameras/Good Ones Go Interlude - Medley Marvins Room Doing It Wrong Take Care Crew Love The Real Her Headlines Lord Knows Shot For Me Under Ground Kings HYFR Buried Alive Interlude Over My Dead Body We'll Be Fine

This was a vibe fr

I’m so jealous right now. I wish I could be listening to this masterpiece for the first time

Wohooooo here for crew love

FUN FACT: Stevie Wonder did the harmonica solo in “Doing It Wrong”. Glad you love the album. Deserved the Grammy it received.

Please do ever other drake album, love the videos 👍

Great reaction!

this is a CLASSIC

Cameras and Look What You've done have really been my favorite for Years. and The Ride!

Such a certified lover boy type album

Good ears Shelby!!! Shot for me and few more were heavily influenced by The Weeknd even tho he's not included in it you can tell just by hearing it

The feature on Cameras/ Good ones go is a Jon B sample “Calling on You”

When Drake is gone people will finally realize we will never get anyone like Drake ever again... The GOAT 🐐

I love you Shelby.😍🤩

Marvins Room will forever be the saddest drake song 🎵 💔

The memories🥲 Shot for me is still my favorite from this album🔥

"MY CITY LOVE ME LIKE MAC DRE IN THE BAY" AYYY RIP Mac Dre Bay Area Stand Up

Damn... First time hearing one of my, if my my #1 personal favorite Drake Album. It's got a special place in my heart. The one thing I did hear about this album after all these years, is that MOST of the drake singing songs were meant for tracks that were intended for The Weeknd. Some being unfinished beats/ melodies. Some you can literally hear the Weeknd in the background lol. And from what I've heard, that "Doing it wrong" harmonica was supposedly Stevie Wonder.

It's crazy to look back on this album after knowing how involved The Weeknd was all of a sudden I can see the influence clear as day on Shot For Me it almost sounds like they tried to make him sound like Abel on it

the vocals during the hook on cameras is actually just the sample they used. It's pitched up and obviously sped to match the tempo. Jon B- Calling On You

Masterpiece!

The person singing on Cameras/ Good ones go is not the weekend it’s a sample of a song from a 90s R&B artist called Jon B who’s amazing.

Gotta react to Nothing Was The Same next for Drake 🔥

Queen

artist of the decade

Every time you asked if it was the weeknd ...it was honestly half of my favorite parts of this album are because of abel not to take anything away from drake he killed it

Man... These were the years.. nostalgic af. Life was simpler when this dropped

24:18 sample was "calling on you" by jon b.

Fun fact, that was Stevie Wonder playing the harmonica on "Doing It Wrong". Drake used the solo from his song "Jorja Interlude".

The Harmonica was actually Stevie Wonder on the harmonica, another instrumental he's proficient at using like found on "That's what friends are for"
