Drake - VIEWS (Discussion Thread)

[Roberto Firmino]

Momma hit my phone and said rap's no good
Better than her telling me the check's no good

I made a decision last night that I would die for it
Just to show the city what it takes to be alive for it

Now they wanna act like I do no good, funny cause I really did more than I should

Can't get me on the line so they hang me out to dry for it, you know 40 wants peace but I'm down to cut ties for it



9 is the one brehs

It's actually not.... Where are the great infectious hooks? Those catchy melodies? The same rehashed stories about exs and "what could have been" it's a downgrade lyrical from Drake's previous work and it's too long for a album that doesn't even have a true concept. A few these songs will probably catch on but there is nothing you get from this album that we haven't already gotten from Take Care and NWTS...

I enjoy the album. It sounds good. And it has tons of replay value.

What's the problem?

Still in my rotation


Nice seeing some positivity the last couple pages

Drake projects push the sound forward.

Hell people hated all his albums initially.

6.2

Album is at least an 8

It's better than Lemonade

Some people just don't like it...whether they are forcing themselves too or just honestly don't feel it



I cant get mad at anyone's opposing opinion towards this album, because I thought that "untitled" album by Kendrick Lamar was garbage, and some people don't agree with me on that

Funny shyt, I listened to the Untitled album again on my commute on Friday...it was just kinda...eh.

He was rapping his ass off...but it wasn't taking me anywhere. It was just kinda jazz-hip-hop overkill and just dragged on. And Kendrick ain't as deep as people think he is...but I have several degrees so i'm looking to be entertained...and thus why i'm drawn to Drake

nikkas saying the album is too long?

Bruh...just enjoy the music...albums aren't pressed on wax anymore. What the fukk is wrong with people?

How can anyone hate on Child's Play. Song is executed flawlessly

Its a GOOD fukking song.

I don't get it. Its low-key hilarious too. I mean Andre 3000 would have made that first verse and people would be losing their shyt

The problem is you called it a classic. It's not even his best work. If you just said "yeah it's nice" then people would KIM, but you were acting hella extra like this was some of the dopest shyt ever.

See, you should have just said you were looking for some shallow, zone out, background music from the jump. I can understand someone liking this album using those metrics.

Top 3 song on the album for me but each to their own

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

3:30 on "U With Me?" The Boy started feeling it you can tell.


I got responsiblities, the people that I need, on my way to make this dough...a lot of nikkas cut the check so they could take this flow.

I didn't call it a classic.

and this isn't shallow to me.

Some of ya'll just have no range in the type of music you enjoy.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I will never understand why a grown man who dislikes an artist and/or an album would have more than 1 post in the thread about said artist/album. State your opinion then KIM


Also, if you asked any of the following questions in this thread, kill your family first then yourself, because you clearly have no idea who Drake is:
1) Why is he singing so much
2) Why is this so soft
3) Why aren't his verses lyrical miracle spiritual status


If you dont like those 3 things, then there are plenty of reasons to hate Drake and this album. But to pretend to be surprised about Drake sounding like this in 2016....


As for Views, this definetely wasnt the album i expected to get from him after hearing Back 2 Back, WATTBA, Summer 16, and Pop Style. But Im not going to further prequalify my thoughts


Off first listen, album was 4/5 for me, and it's gotten better each time since. I really enjoy the album and will be rocking it for a long time

Breh.....these bars is just


Look, they'd rather run up on me than towards them goals
My nikkas still hit the club when it's 20 below
Who you think running this show?
You saw it in me at 20 years old
The lingo start to sound like we talking in code
I got a pure soul, I don't do the hate
You don't worry 'bout fitting in when you custom made
Me and Niko used to plot on how to make a change
Now me and Kobe doing shots the night before the game
Still drop 40 with liquor in my system
Numbers going unlisted just to create some distance
I might see you on and off but I'll never switch ya
nikkas quick to double cross like both of us Christian
Lamborghini got me feeling like I'm Christian Bale
And I never bend my morals for the ticket sales
Tipping scales, bars heavy like triple XL
I never tag no one in, I'd rather get you myself
Running through the 6, thumbing through the contracts
I'm possessed, you can see it under the contacts
They think I had the silver spoon but they'll get it soon
I still got something left to prove since you left me room
Paint a plan for the family debt, we in the minus
And like it's going in a trunk, I put it all behind us
Where you tryna go? I got it, I'll take us wherever
I'm a staple in the game, all my papers together
And my life is on display like Truman
They wanna pree the movements, gotta start to make 'em sooner
My exes made some of my favorite music
I dated women from my favorite movies
Karma's such a thing of beauty
I'd share more of my story but you wouldn't believe it
It's far fetched like I threw that shyt a hundred meters
I keep it 100 like I'm running a fever
I might take a breather but I won't ever leave you
If I was you, I wouldn't like me either






I know it's cool to hate on Drizzy right now, but these bars is flames



Aint too many mainstream rappers dropping bars like these in 2016



Views is fire....Weston Road Flows is lyrically nice too

i wonder who wrote those for him
