Take Care was a huge breakthrough for Drake, showing his newly developed ability to fuse his throbbing emotional core with an acute pop sensibility, shedding the drippy self-pitying bathos of his early mixtapes. The album's titular single is the apotheosis of that development, an oblique love song that pits his hesitant croon against Rihanna's soothing, motherly imprecations, shaking things up with an extended fugue courtesy of a reconstituted Gil Scot Heron sample. A gorgeous, enigmatic evocation of love and doubt, "Take Care" finds Drake at the height of his triple-threat powers, exploring the sort of emotional territory that most rappers are afraid to even enter.

1. Drake featuring Rihanna, "Take Care."
The future legend 
I cannot believe he is at #1.
King.

This list has so many songs, that albeit being good, placed low or were left from many publications' lists.
Decent Top 10.

I like this list, but there are a few questionable inclusions.

Every year Slant has dragged Rihanna, and everyone proclaimed how unbiased they were and how they "spilt the true tea" now the shoes on the other foot and everyone wants to discredit them. I see you.

Not everyone having breakdowns at one of the most respected publications giving Drake and Rihanna the #1 spot.

Take Care is a really, really great song. I can see why it's #1.

It's not the #1 that makes this list so putrid.
