    Last time i spun it in full, it was actually a lot better than i remembered…

    still though, More Life is a better record and just keeps getting better imo. Drake’s last great record (as of yet)… DLDT had some great tracks too, but that was more of a compilation than an album

    Dldt was sooooo fire

    I agree with OP. IYRTITL was clearly the original VFT6 or at least got a lot of the original songs on it. That's why like 1/3 of the track list reverences the 6. (6 god, You and the 6, 6man, Star67, 6pm in New York) Also he has the Views adlibs and six six six tags all over it

    Start of Drake fall off

    how did he fall off when he made More Life and Honestly Nevermind after

  • your theory makes sense becsuse IYRTITL is one of the greatest cold weather albums and the six is cold as s***

    So explain why he was using the "Views" adlib on every feature that same year

    Depending on who you ask. That album cemented him with the frat boys for life

  • Be as honest as you can…

    Yeah I mean not sure where in the process it morphed from some tracks for Views to being a focused rap mixtape but it’s not a stretch to assume these were early potential tracks for Views

    By the time the 3 pack came out in October 2014 I’m pretty sure he knew this was for IYRTITL

    I don’t think every song on IYRTITL was destined for VFT6, especially the Boi-1da contributions. I feel like he worked on Energy thru to No Tellin’ and decided to create something around these. Used To was a Lil Wayne mixtape cut before it appeared on this. IMO Legend, the PND features, Jungle, and My Side were the only songs originally destined for VFT6.

    Was an immense disappointment when it dropped. But only those who followed his career until that point remember. He's dropped so much bad music after that this album now looks good in hindsight

    Views More Life and Scorpion trifecta is pretty good music if you have no context

    But in the context of the music he dropped from So Far Gone to IYRTITL and just the energy in his music those 3 albums just sound so blah

    Sound like he got complacent

    Fr, you can tell straight away on Views the energy isn’t the same soon as he starts to rap on 9. There’s deffo a difference in delivery pre and post-Views. Always thought this.

    It's not just that. It's that he hyped up Views for like 2-3 years lmao the build up was incredible. TC and NWTS were viewed as good albums, but the people knew he had an undeniable all time classic in him and we all thought Views would be it. Had a lot of big hits but it felt like the worst project he had dropped bar maybe his debut.

    with Used To, it was actually Drake’s mixtape cut that Wayne decided to put out first

    that’s why RiFF RAFF was on the intro/outro talking about it being an OVO mixtape

    How is it exactly that album when the literal Views From The 6 title song leak didn’t make it and came out afterwards IIRC

    Didn't they flip that in U With Me?

  • flizzy

    Didn't they flip that in U With Me?

    Yes and it was

  • I revisited Views recently and it’s pretty good compared to what I remember when it first came out. I think my expectations were so high at that time I felt disappointed. It’s still not nearly as good as IYRTITL but better than thought previously.
