Who knew what to expect from Drake's second effort 'Take Care,' since he's known to balance rapping and singing -- heard on his debut LP, 'Thank Me Later.' For thirsty fans, they didn't have to wait to buy the effort since it leaked online a week before its scheduled Nov. 15 release.

Some critics thought the album was too sensitive and borderline emo rap, but to others, it was honest and insightful. For example, what guy can't relate to allowing jealousy to get the best of him and drunk-dial an ex-girlfriend in hopes of getting her to forget her new dude and get back with him?

This was a project that easily earned the title of one of the best albums of 2012.

Notable Tracks: 'Lord Knows,' 'HYFR,' 'Marvin's Room'
