Drake - VIEWS (Discussion Thread)

[BobbyBooshay]

Take Care my fave album from him still

 

[Osmosis]

You sure? He's part of the camp, why not put his name on the credits as a feature...

He's on the credits but not featured, it's weird

 

[NoChillJones]

Hate to say I told yall so but......... More generic softttttt ass music from the wanns be Canadian playboy. Hes not and never has been on Kendricks or Coles level... Hes just a good "song writer" backed by Jewish controlled media hype. Hes to much of a bytch to step out of his lane because he is scared of the backlash and mainstream controversy. So you got more of the same ol same ol...... Plus his track record in regards to putting out solid releases that gel is 0 out of 4 prior to this abysmally underwhelming effort. Told yall dudes run is coming to an end. With all the real artist coming out of Toronto his lane and non singing style of music will and is taking a decline.

I know yall want to hate this nikka but on first listen this might be his best album

No Q Miller influence, Drake's back to being Drake, It's a Drake album, a GOOD Drake album Complete with lazy & boring R&B tracks, club bangers, rappity rap, emo rap, fire production, great melodies, lazy melodies, great moments, corny moments, old flows, new flows, same subject matter, same out come; Good, not good enough to be a classic and solidify Drake as the calibre of artist he's praised to be, but good enough to maintain a distant lead on the competition.

This was AIGHT. I can't believe how an album so carefully put together sounds like throwaway tracks. Not bad, but Drake didn't have THAT song, that one. DMX props got a little out of me but that's it.

Sounded like an album full of 6am in NY type songs

And to answer your question both are stars. There is a general level of respect but obviously they both wanna be the guy. Weeknd will never be Drake and vice Versa but with all celebs they both wanna be the most important guy in the room.

Oh I remember you said you were the photographer guy..you would know better than me. Have you had a chance to shoot either of them?

I'm not gonna like this am I

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

I'm not gonna like this am I

Soft songs not as good as Take Care and there's no bangers like "If you're reading.."
Weston flows is the only song I've been really repeating

 

[evasive]

Album was very safe.
Bland.
Expected.
Boring.
Drake sounds unmotivated.
Production sounds non-inventive.

We have heard too much shyt like this.. you played it safe Drake.. no classic for you

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Fire & Desire

thats the drake i want to hear when he isnt rapping over banger beats, just like Now & Forever

First half of the album was near terrible but im feeling most of the tracks on the second half

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

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

I was thinking this when the Bas album came out. "Too high to riot" but he wasn't talking about anything deep on there. When did artists start making concept albums with no concept??

I'm from the other side of the water but I thought Drake was going to make a T.O. classic. I don't even think he mentioned the city once on here

 

[A.V.]

Is it me or drake hasn't changed his subject matter?

Go listen to migos

Tired of vapid ass, deep & meaningful on the surface, yet empty and ghostwritten, guilty-pleasure type, man-child living out his geeky fukkboy fantasy of being a top rapper & having money, women & success at any cost, even if it means being inauthentic to oneself and fans - type music?


If you tired of these nikkas dancing all in your videos, stolen, meme worthy dance moves, at that. Unoriginal, uncreative ass "artist" that bamboozled the game. Talking like he can take your bytch when your bytch can probably beat the nikka in a fair one or emotional stability contest...



If you tired of the hiding in the open mentality from a nikka who don't even have the balls to tell the truth about his music and just fall back and try to eat on the strength of his marketing strategies and network keeping him afloat, if you got a problem with what I just said...he a sucker and so are you. bytch nikka.







If you tired of the false bravado and manufactured, inorganic sound...that fans just happen to think are decent, "catchy" songs. (I wonder why, it's almost like someone strategically had ghostwritten bars, inside connections, a wealthy and privileged upbringing, a boring yet marketable story, and it all came together; the chances of it not coming together for Drake were probably WAY lower than the chances of him being as big as he is, considering the facts. THE FACTS.)





All of the parts that are the Android 17 whom Drake happens to be...(he killing shyt, but technically he was "created" #BARS) came together to make off with one of the biggest heists in music history, in a culture that luckily for him, evolved into accepting homosexual and bytchassness culture.





I was gonna keep it short and make a Suge Knight reference initially, but I got sidetracked realizing it's not hard to articuate why I can acknowledge the "skill" Drake has, but still find him to be a fukking tainted fraud. We accepted him for who he was, the WHOLE GAME did. And he couldn't even hold it down on his own




Anyways, if you tired of all that fukk shyt, here you go:




Salute to my #1 fan @spinoza, thank you for the "blackball". I have a very important meeting this weekend after my show in Brooklyn. I'ma put that bullshyt you talkn to the test, we gonna see who really got pull very soon, fukking photographer fakkit

 

[Earnings]

Person makes album full of "familiar" songs ="man he should of branched out, this sound safe"

Person branches out and experiments with new sounds: "this shyt wack, he should have stuck to the mixtape style"



Not even a Drake fan(think he spit but albums never been for me) but its really crazy to read through these replies.

Dudes outta they internet hiphop forum ass minds if they think "dudes run is bout finished" cause a album that they not feeling came out 5 hours ago.
