My mistake. I think I might have gotten you confused with
@DrexlersCut; you guys have a similar avi.
You're most certainly entitled to your opinion but I respectfully disagree.
Drake hasn't put out a real album in three years and I'm a bit confused as to why you think an album he recorded in 6 days (What a time....) and a mixtape is indicative of his current direction. Too Late and What a time were fun projects to help pass the time while we waited for Views. No one knows what Views is gonna sound like but I'm sure he'll have a lot of introspective tracks like he always does.
I don't see anything wrong with the current roll out for this album and the only official single for Views is One Dance and everything else has been a snippet or leaks of B-side tracks. And I don't see how having one UK Funky Beats track means he's "embracing dancehall" and last time I checked, Toronto, the city of which this album is dedicated to has a lot of Jamaican influences.
Also if you think Views has any chance being a straight up rap album, you might as well not bother listening to it because you're deliberately fooling yourself.
And last time I checked, those tracks you listed appear in the projects you are supposedly dissing.
