Blige-sampling standout “Weston Road Flows”, Views arrives at a time when he’s blending rap, R&B, and pop more freely than ever. While Drake calls himself “the most successful rapper 35 and under” on the lush, Mary J. Accordingly, Views’ biggest competition might just be the rest of his own catalog. Sometimes, it seems like the guy can’t miss. (And for what it’s worth, the album is projected to sell around a million copies in its first week.) That’s to say nothing of Drake’s always persuasive confidence in his delivery, his ability to completely sell even his goofiest lyrics. When you have as many committed supporters as almost any other artist in popular music, you can be pretty confident that at least a few hundred thousand of them are going to adore your new record. In a way, he’s right, though “already” is the key word. I get a blank page when I try to draw a comparison.“ Views already a classic,” announces Drake on “Hype”, a song on his latest and fourth overall album, formerly known as Views from the 6. Thoughts too deep to go work ’em out with a therapist.


The paranoia can start to turn into arrogance. Told you I got Z’s for these other girls, sleeping on him. It feels like the only time you see me is when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently. Pop StyleĪnd I like to finish what you think you started.Man you boys just got to Hollywood, you boys just started. Say I’m acting light-skin, I can’t take you nowhere. Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake. Y’all a whole lot of things, but you still ain’t this. Most niggas with a deal couldn’t make a greatest hits.

Oti, oti, there’s never much love when we go OT. I think I’d lie for you, I think I’d die for you, Jodeci “Cry For You”, do things when you want me to. How they feel about you, where you’re from, where your bed at. Still HereĪll you niggas fighting over crumbs, where the bread at. I wanna get straight to the climax, having you coming all summer like a season pass. On my way from the studio so get undressed, let’s do the things that we say on text. Mixing vodka and emotions, tapping any emotions. Guess I’m not in a position to deal with commitment. Relationships slowing me down, they slow down the vision. I’m looking at they first week numbers like what are those. I could GPS you if you need some addressing. Last year I know you learned your lesson. I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do.

You playing mind games when you saying things, playing mind games, we both doing the same thing. I wanna know how much time you spent on them paragraphs, where you’re getting me, all that grey in our conversation history. Keychain go jangalang, I wanna do major things. I knew you before you made ends meet now were meeting our ends. And even when it’s business with you it’s personal again. I always saw you for what you could’ve been. We simply want to enjoy the album and bring you our favorite lines from each of the album’s impressive songs. While the album does feature a few collaborations, they do not feel necessary to uphold the quality of the complete body of work. It offers 20 tracks that seamlessly flow into each other. The album takes on a reminiscent stroll down memory lane of the Toronto rapper’s upbringing and reflection on how things have changed. Following, the groundbreaking release of Beyoncé‘s latest effort Lemonade, Drake delivers his long-awaited 4th studio album Views (From The 6). The music Gods have blessed once again and the odds are ever in our favor.
