Drake - VIEWS (Discussion Thread)

[Mr.Silver]

What a surprise a bunch of nikkas who don't like Drake is in here hating on the album.

Well, if it were just people who were enjoying the album posting in here it'd be about half as short and those are numbers compared to Kendrick's TPAB thread.

Says a lot.

Listened 1.5 times today, plus a bit yesterday. I'll continue to give it spins for an accurate experience but overall my impressions: meh. To me this sounds like Take Care if Weeknd hadn't been involved. The songwriting is noticeably weaker, the singing blends together track to track, melodies aren't really standing out either. From a rap perspective Drake is on autopilot. Even the songs ppl are celebrating like Weston Road Flows just sound like a generic "Drake over 90s r&b sample+reverb+hard drums" song.

I do think the album improves though. Not a fan of the beginning of the tracks but the "summer" phase improves, and I love the Summer's Over interlude. But overall this isn't doing it for me. I thought IYRTITL was dope.

BTW this makes me wonder whether he put out IYRT and WATTBA thinking it would satisfy fans enough for him to release a poppier album.

The beat on 9 is amazing, and same for me I could pick like 5 others as my fav the more I listen. I guess nikkas love IYRTITL Drake more then, because this one has alot more R&B shyt on it, I guess they consider it filler? Idk

When Drizzy decides to rap his ass off it's and I love that as much as anyone but I prefer this Drake more so it's been a pleasant surprise we got so much of it but when he raps on this he delivers even if it's not quite Trap Drake

you mean when he decides to have someone write his shyt? LOL dikkriders still pretending like Drake has bars

The lyrics on 'Views' are VERY mediocre compared to his last couple albums especially on the R&B joints. He should rap more on the next album because those were the only parts where the writing was actually up to par.

The rap lyrics were a step down to.
That Channing Tatum line
Toy like happy meal
Green like earth day

With You is crazy

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

I had to skip Fire and Desire just off the name alone. i've given the whole album a couple of spins to get a feel for it but i can't bring myself to listen to that song

 

[Pool_Shark]

Damn this album is . It's my favorite parts of NWTS combined with that new Drake sound and a little bit of rapping Drake thrown in. The first song took some time to grow on me but everything else is good. Probably my favorite Drake album.

 

[Mac Casper]

so none of y'all gonna take me up on my offer?

 

[cartierhoe]

I'm gon enjoy this album breh, nikkas in here expected Drake to be on some Summer 16 shyt the whole album lmao thats why he gave you IYRTITL and WATTBA this is Drake we talkin about here, he loves that simp R&B shyt. Yall acting like this is new all of a sudden
