I can tell nikkas just won't appreciate how important this album is for the culture until 5-10 years down the line...

This album is right up there with WTT, MBTDF and GRODT in terms of its cultural significance.

It's such a shame that most rap fans are too fickle to appreciate greatness when it stumbles upon them due to shyt like bias and favoritism. I saw the same detractors doing what they're doing to Drake now do to Kanye five years ago.

This is why I hold TML much higher than just about everyone. Yeah it was more bright/mainstream than people wanted but it was well produced, had the right balance of singing and rapping, and he was actually RAPPING. He was hungry then. And it was triumphant. Everything else has been moody collections of first world problems.

Probably the best, most concise description of Drake's music I have ever read.

We really gonna play this over your head game?

:comeon:

MBDTF was universally revered, if you're referring to 808's/Yeezus the cause of backlash was Kanye doing shyt DIFFERENT, the backlash against Views is because its the SAME shyt.

After listening to this some more, its a pretty decent R&B album :ehh:.

Trapsoul> Views :ehh:


Def way more R&B than rap which is fine he's done that before, but this sounds like he didn't know what he wanted it to be, like he never decided on a direction and a theme for the album. It's nuts he's this far along and actually sounds like he's farther away from finding his own voice than he's ever been. Makes me think that the ghostwriting really is FAR more prevalent than he's let on.
