Drake - VIEWS (Discussion Thread)

[A.V.]

you would think an album called views from the 6 (og title) would have a tight concept about where this nikka is from...tales about how the city made him who he is today...but just going thru these songs and thinking back to previous albums....the main topics dude ever touches are past relationships and shyt about his boys that he grew up with or close friends...I have not one fukking clue how "the 6" influenced this nikkas childhood to make him the man he is today.....I literally thought this was the route the album was going but instead it's another ok album with off-key singing about a bytch that he wanted (or had) that got saved by auto tune and depressed flows about nothing I could give a fukk about...you can tell this nikka lived a somewhat sheltered life or it was boring as fukk where he lived....you can't be this predictable with your music beloved...

I'm not asking for street tales either...we all know that's not his steez...but good lord...I could give one of my fav. rappers the title "views from the 6" as a concept and say go to work and I would be expecting some crazy creative shyt about toronto, growing up, influences, the ups n downs....music that make go this nikka is a problem....I've honestly felt that way about any fo this nikkas music...it just don't resonate with me like that. I just knew this shyt was gonna be lackluster because I just knew that title was just what it was...a title, he doesnt have that "gift" to craft the shyt I expect from "one of the best rappers in the game" type nikkas...

yall enjoy the music tho

The shift has begun brehs.

the fall off is gonna be historic

Drake sounds bored on this.
Same flow. Same subject matter.. Shyt was putting me to sleep.
He doesn't sound hungry.. These songs felt like a chore to listen to.

He needs a break from this rap shyt.. sounds burnt out..

I'm dead ass fukking wit u nikkas reasoning, I'm not a hater. Mfs act like you can't have standards or an opinion without being labeled a hater now so I'll just say I respect your points. On the flip side, I think all of you will appreciate this song, based on what you said. Just listen

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

[Randoug]

Why Drake hoe ass remove Popcaan on Controlla and Jay & Ye on Pop Style?

Nikka removed all his good features

 

[Screwtape]

shyt i think i grew titties listening to this bullshyt. My god RAP YOU fukkING fakkit

 

[AkaDemiK]

don't think he really got much to say bruh

Which is what I've realized for years now. look at one of the current best rappers alive...look at all the topics/concepts they touched then look at drakes 7 year run. He's stuck in this box of like 3 ideas he can juggle on a record. shyt is pathetic. You're a rapper that considers himself one of the best out...do better. There's so many ways I can hear this nikka rap about the girl that did him a certain way or him n his boys having some wild night...pause. Do better with ya pen.

Nikkas on my timeline are bugging saying this is the best thing he's put out since Take Care. Off one listen NWTS and if You're Reading This are MUCH better. Going to give it the whip test tomorrow though.

"0-100" didn't make the album, even though it was originally released as single for this album?

[FRIED MASON]

I fukk with Faithful and Weston Road Flows...

The rest of the album is a goddamn snoozefest.

Underwhelmed and disappointed

 

[gottah8me]

A fukkING GREED! NWTS is definitely better than Take Care. Imo Take Care was all over the place, while NWTS is extremely cohesive.

NWTS is his best work perfect mix of his singing and rap. The production was the truth on it as well. Disappointed in Views

Edit @Mowgli "rap u fukkin fakkit" comment, too high to go back n quote it

Haven't entirely finished listening yet but right now it seems NWTS is much better
