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.

This sounds nothing like any of his prior releases. You're just a hater. Plain and simple.

When you can find a "Controlla", "One Dance", "Summers Over Interlude", "U With Me?" or "Weston Roads Flow" on So Far Gone, Thank Me Later, Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, or What a Time to Be Alive then get back at me.

I can't believe you motherfukkers are lying through your teeth like this just to justify your hatred for Drake.

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.
Sounds like old Drake trying to do what he's been doing in recent years but with something missing...probably writers. 09/010 Drake is here again, the corny TML era Drake lines are here in abundance with the basic talk rap flows, and he's got a lot of 'going thru her phone, pillow talkin with the women that are screwing you accidentally exposing my bytch nikka ways' moments on there too. Leads me to believe that the influence of 'others' was heavy in the TC-IYRTITL era.

"Always saw you for what you could've been...ever since you met me
Like when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like a Bentley I....
always saw you for what you could've been"

Search my posts in this thread, how can I be a hater when I said I think it might be his best album. How can I be hating when countless Drake fans are saying the same thing. If I'm hating I'm hating objectively.

He jumped on the Ramriddlz cacDancehall wave for a couple tracks on 20 track album, big deal, even then one dance sounds similar to the shyt he did with Jamie XX before.
You with me doesn't sound like a NWTS song when he first adopted Party's wave and started this lazy shout rap shyt? edit: just noticed Party at the end of song, definitely his track, not surprising.
Western Road Flows :francis: Come on dog this is like every talk rap Drake song ever, 6pm in New York, Draft Day, 30 for 30 etc It's dope as shyt but it's not new.

He isn't even on Summers Over :dead:

You're reaching and you know it.

:jbhmm: Been through this about 4 times since it dropped and I have to agree it's kind of average at best. I still listen to Take Care and most of the songs off NWTS and IYRTITL...can't say the same for this.

Keep The Family Close - :francis:
9 - Not really feeling the production on it.
U With Me? - Ehh it's losing it's playability with me the more I listen and the ending just makes me want to hear the original PND version. It's clear he wrote that. They even left him in it.
Feel No Ways - fukks with this one. Jordan from Majid Jordan killed that on the production.
Hype - Indifferent. More "I'm the greatest/they out to get me" shyt.
Weston Road Flows - :banderas: Favorite track.
Redemption - The same moody Drake/40 sound. I gotta say it's kind of getting boring to me. :manny:
With You - Decent enough.
Faithful - The added dvsn ending helps this track a lot. Really fukk with that part.
Still Here - Hard production. Same content as the Hype song though. Ehh.
Controlla - Liked it from jump.
One Dance - Sounds too much like that Ramriddlz track. :patrice:
Grammys - fukks with Future's part. Drake sounds cool but the lyrics aren't catching me. Honestly some of the verses from WATTBA he should've left for this album.
Child's Play - :mjlol:.....like that drum switch though in the middle. I think Metro did that.
Pop Style - Should've burned that Chaining Tatum line from jump. :sas2: Also the way this song is sequenced reminds me of another song, but ain't trying to have the stans jump at me so I'll let it be.:sas1:
Too Good - Ehh.
Summers Over Interlude- :obama: Majid killed this. fukks with this a lot. Can only imagine how good it would've sounded if it was The Weeknd instead though.
Fire & Desire - :wow: That beat drop & the Brandy sample pitching up. 40 did his thing on this. fukks with this heavy mostly for the production but Drake did his thing too.
Views - Second favorite song after Weston Road Flows.

:patrice: So 6/20 will get playback from me and a few others I only fukk with a little bit. Ehh average to me like I said. I gotta be honest, the whole writing shyt kinda took the excitement off his lyrics for me. :manny: The content is getting kind of stale and he has to drop the "they out to get me" angle. It's getting redundant. I think "Views" maybe should've been the intro too and he should've put 30 For 30 on this as the outro. Shave off a few of the songs too.
