The voices in and outside of Drake's head tussle on his first official Take Care single. "I had someone tell me I fell off; ooh, I needed that," he reflects, snares clacking away at some of his deftest rhymes since the spotlight-thrusting So Far Gone mixtape. The spare beat never takes off, and the hook is a slight thing, almost an afterthought – or maybe the clearest sign that even with booze, cynics and fame buzzing about, hip-hop's great hope isn’t overeager to please.
