Drake - VIEWS (Discussion Thread)

[re'up]

I need someone like Joe Budden or Nas...someone with some grit to get on that 'Weston Road Flows', that beat is 90's personified......I love some of the beats on here, this is easily one of the highlights.

 

[O.G.B]

Not impressed at all. The overall album is terrible & Drake's worst! The songs aren't put together very well plus it sounds more like a half-ass R&B/Pop record with no cohesiveness whatsoever. Personally I think after all the drama surrounding Drake being exposed, he & his camp didn't want to do a real hip hop album with him actually rapping so they decided to totally switch up the music to something more R&B/Pop oriented.

So you're taking trolls serious. I got it now

So why don't you take your advice and ignore me? Especially if it didn't pertain to you. I see you like to argue just to see yoruself post. I got it now

 

[Llcoolbay]

Exactly. These songs are not gonna age well. Maybe though for females who like to quote Drake lyrics and put it on their TL.



Yo that was pretty good, can you put a breh on some more songs where Drake raps like this

Back when he sound inspired and did kill everything

Not arguing at all bro. How'd you like the album?

What letter grade would you give it

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Some pretty good riding music tracks on this album

 

[Ronald]

@JACK! more PND/Jeremih tracks are necessary

I wish that collab album talk is real

 

[Llcoolbay]

Nah but has anyone noticed how Wayne and Drake don't seem to fukk with each other anymore?

I'm getting the same vibes that I got with Weeknd/Drake. I swear these nikkas don't fukk with each other despite being from the same city blowin up around the same time and both with massive success. I think that nikka Drake is a lowkey Snake.

Yea, but he still hangs around him from time to time

The main thing i found odd was Drake really didnt fukk with anybody in YMCMB outside of Wayne and Nicki.

Was thinking Drake would retire or take a break after this

he said in the interview more music is coming in the Summer before the tour begins

yea coli gonna be in shambles throughout 2016

 

[Capital Steez]

This is definately an album to sit with. You can't form too concrete of an opinion based on a single listen. But based on first impressions I'd say its obvious Drake and 40 really took their time with this one. Sounds really coheasive and thought out.

Only KanYe is coming close in terms of having as good of production as this. These beats are A1. Drake's flows and lyrics sound more mature and confident. I like how he stepped away from trying to create IYRTITL & WATTBA bangers and focused more great album cuts.

Someone previously said this is like a follow-up to So Far Gone, I can kinda see where they're coming from.

Haven't listened yet but this thread is classic coli.

How so

 

[Trinidpl]

This shyt garbage

Pm a link my g.

 

[AkaDemiK]

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 never felt that way about any of 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

 

[MufasaChoppa]

The shift has begun brehs.

the fall off is gonna be historic

 

[Mortal1]

It was alright no real standout tracks but the production is decent .
