So after a few more listens I give this album a 3/5. A little too long and no need for some of the songs but still not a bad album at all. Like I said before the track list in my opinion should be

9
U With Me?
Feel No ways
Weston Road Flows
Redemption
Faithful
Still Here
Controlla
One Dance
Too Good
Fire & Desire
Views

Imo that would of been the perfect track list for this album. But like I said not really a bad album whatsoever just a lil too long. That's the only bad thing for me.

2 stars out of 5? :pachaha: the coli does it again
He's spittin lyrics he didn't write, flows he didn't create & melodies he had handed to him..

Don't see how anyone can review this as a hip hop album instead of a Katy Perry or Pink album
act like you were in the studio with the artist making the album brehs

seems like Drake is trying to channel the pre Take Care era (Dreams Money Can Buy, Free Spirit, Club Paradise)

let's see if he continues it for the rest of this shyt

Ovo/Toronto sound yes but the hooks and bars are LACKING.

Weston Road Flows is dope

Easily one of the best Drake tracks ever. It's a shame none of the other tacks on here are on par or better.

"Back when t-minus was still making beats" :mjlol:


The ironic thing about the line is this album would be waaay better if t-minus was working with Drake on it.

I just can't help thinking that the Quentin Miller fiasco affected the singing/rapping balance on this album, like, how do you release pretty much your most R&B album after IYRTITL? I don't know what disappointed me more, this or "Batman V. Superman".

It's clear by the monotone flows throughout this that A.Palman should've been assisting Drake. Don't get why y'all keep bringing up QM? All the tracks he did with/for Drake none are cracking his top 15 great/bars heavy tracks.

Everybody listening to #Views and then feeling compelled to go back and listen to TC and NWTS..... Let's you know this shyt disappointed a lot of people

Drake stans were gonna love it regardless

But the causal rap fans don't seem to be feeling this shyt. Maybe 4-6 songs but that's it

I've been a fan since 09. I tried to listen to the album at the gym and couldn't finish track 2, had to reVISIT TC. As that album is the blueprint to Views.

Whats the credits looking like tho?

Hush back?

The album need Mr. Palman

Still trying to find out what this nikka was thinking with this trash ass intro :scust:


Easily one of the worse intros ever.


This is better or up to par with Take Care easily, great album.


Really wanted to neg but opinions.....

This album lacks the anthems and bars TC had. Sequence terribly as well. shyts a mess not cohesive at all.

Listening to Weston Road Flows....I just don't see whats so great about 40 as a producer. He didn't do anything creative with that Mary J sample. Added the same drum pattern as the original, slapped a muffled low pass filter on it and thats it lol. He picks good samples, but I feel like your average beatmaker can do a better job of flipping that than he did.

His beat making is really generic. He had a formula which what you said...sample with a low pass filter and that's usually it. His beats never really have too much going on and sometimes it works and other times it's boring as fukk...picking the sample is more impressive than his beats the majority of the time. Compare Weston road flows to what just blaze did with freedom on the Beyoncé joint. It's a different ball league with flipping.

I respect the fukk out of his engineering game tho. He is a problem in that area...
