What's the standouts on this?

Halfway thru and this is trash, even the rapping isn't as crisp as could be

This an album for the hoes

"views" is the best song on the album and that's at the end. I kinda like "feel no ways". the rest of this shyt ain't that hot.

if you missed it earlier, listen to Drake & Zane Lowe's hour-long interview on Beats 1.

In case you missed it, Drake & Zane Lowe were originally supposed to kick off Thursday night’s #VIEWS festivities by sitting down for a “major” interview on OVO Sound Radio Ep. 20 at 10:45 PM EST, where Drizzy would premiere his new album for the first live on air, before making it live on iTunes following the show at midnight. Unfortunately, that plan wasn’t executed too well, and the show was almost a half-hour late to start, causing fans to grow impatiently restless. So during which time, Apple decided to turn the tables around and roll out the album first on iTunes instead, resulting with most fans jumping right over to the album stream and leaving the Zane Lowe interview.

However, once Drake & Zane Lowe did start the interview, it was well worth the wait. Chopping it up for over an hour, the 6 God & Zane talked about the creative process of VIEWS, why he left Kanye & Jay off the album, production, making a cohesive body of work, inspiration for the album, and a shyt ton more. He even talked about his relationship with Kanye West, and spilled the beans that the two were supposed to do a project together.

“We live up the street from each other. I’ll pull up at his house and see what he’s doing. We’ll just sit and collaborate, that’s what music is all about. ‘Ye is one of my favorite people. Period. In the world man. I love ‘Ye. I grew up with him [Kanye] as a role model, he is part of the reason I am here right now.”

“We were supposed to do a mixtape together or an album together.” - Drake says about Kanye

In addition, Drake also talked about having plenty more music coming out this Summer, Tory Lanez beef, Lil Wayne & Birdmansituation, Young Money, and his current relationship with Nicki Minaj, which he said is non-existent at this point in time.

"I don’t really talk to Nicki. Another person I have a lot of love for ... She dealt with me how I would expect her to -- with class. I always have respect and love for her. Unfortunately, we haven’t spoke."

If you happened to miss the interview earlier, I highly recommend checking out the full thing (below).

this shyt will NEVER happen with their competing loyalties to apple and tidal respectively.

album is a frisbee, U With Me is probably the best track on here. that beat switch up is what the album should've sounded like. this can't be the most anticipated album of the year, it just can't. cause it's a empty hollow piece of material to me but that's just my two cents.

 

[thatrapsfan]

This shyt is mediocre at best and even the stans know it. Can tell some of y'all are trying hard to love it, but can't.

@Broke Wave it's over breh. Next album should be called "The Decline"

 

[Axum Ezana]

the dmx sample song was terrible imo

 

[Midwest]

Which is what I've realized for years now. look at one of the current best rappers alive...look at all the topics/concepts they touched then look at drakes 7 year run. He's stuck in this box of like 3 ideas he can juggle on a record. shyt is pathetic. You're a rapper that considers himself one of the best out...do better. There's so many ways I can hear this nikka rap about the girl that did him a certain way or him n his boys having some wild night...pause. Do better with ya pen.

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

It sounded like a white noise soundtrack, something you'd use to go to sleep.

Ima keep it a buck, this album is trash

Can't even find a stand-out track. Ruined his best leaked track. Cant believe dude thought 20 tracks is a good idea.

Drake's VIEWS

 

[Mowgli]

His mixtape was better then his album.

This album should have been nothing was the same and nothing was the same should have been views.
