Which is bullshit and had me worried about the album and more worries were unfortunately confirmed. Views wasn't a grower. It had beautiful production and really good records overall. it just had a lack of really great rap records like Weston Road Flows.
But once you move past that it has some of his best records like Feel No Ways, Fire & Desire, U With Me, Redemption, One Dance, Controlla, Too Good... CLB ain't a grower. Ain't no amount of growing going to make people love this record. Besides the timestamp record it doesn't have any truly great record.
Totally agree with your takes. Controlla was a HIT. I must’ve played it 300x+ times, s*** was everywhere on the radio, in clubs, etc
This the same nigga that gon be bumping it a month from now...
Only some songs. Most of it getting deleted.
These nigga's smoking something special man. Idk how they don't see it. Like you said this album as so many duds. I still can't believe he wasted a Hov feature on the Need Me record and took out the amazing outro. I was so looking forward to what else he was going to do with the record. And I was looking forward to him and Hov on some lyrical s*** back and forth. This s*** disgusting.
Word. Lotta cap these days bro. It’s not our fault after all these years we hold Drake to a much higher standard. I expected so much more with all the hype and delays.
Thank you
i only replied cause i felt like your criticism sounded very personal, im gonna give you a nicer reply once i’ve listened and maybe i will understand some of your points. But fr my advice to you would be to stop listening for now n going to bed and then revisiting the album in the morning or middays when you’re fresh and motivated rather than drained and tired
Been saying this everywhere, Fair Trade didn’t need a beat switch or a Travis Scott feature. Should’ve been a solo Drake song. Can’t believe he ruined that too. I’ll still bump the song cuz it’s fire but damn
I’m tweakin a lil rn but I my first impression is that it was good, but very safe. He stayed within his confines, and pretty much flourished in it. On the first listen, the features are what stood out to me more so than Drake himself. Durk got the best verse on the album
Your opinion is just a reflection of your relationship with yourself
drake stans jus be saying s*** fr
Mid for Drake but a classic compared to Dona or The Off-Season
Way 2 Sexy is the greatest song in his catalog
Cudi ruined the vibe. Hate him
My earliest memories of Op are me thinking he was a cool poster, then lately I've just been noticing how much negativity and hate comes from op, just kind of has me confused.
People s***ted on Take Care initially. Said NWTS was mid. Said VIEWS was trash. This happens every time, and I don't understand why it keeps happening because they always come around.
Also if you have to skip songs on album SO WHAT? You don't have to like every song. Some people may like songs you hate, just preskip them it's easy on streaming services. It's not about the # of skips it's about how much you love the songs on the project.
This is a great album to me. The ones that don't appeal to me will get skipped but I love the songs on here. Sorry.
Stopped reading after you said he couldn't make another cohesive record lol... This is the most cohesive album since Reading This.
You're tired. Rest up and give it a fresh listen in the AM mate.
dude finished the album and didn’t wait another 10mins to share how mad he is that daddy drake doesn’t fulfill his deepest desires so he can stroke his cactus to IYRTITL type rapping
This is exactly why Drake went and got Quentin in the first place, there’s no pleasing these niggas.
Honestly, I wish he still worked with other writers. The refreshing flows on IYRTITL were exactly why the project was as incredible as it was. We know Drake is a great rapper and writer… but he needs another lens… As most/all artists do after a certain point. It is impossible for him to get it on his own.

I've always had a healthy amount of praise and criticism of Drake. Trust me you and everyone else just only notices the criticism.
CLB has nwts iyrtitl views elements and thats all i wanted for a loong time.
The only bad thing is that PND is included only with vocals. I expected full verse or hook.
Anyway I love it.
Best project from drake since 2016. For me atleast
THIS
Amazing from start to finish, just cannot believe that the original outro from love all got cut, that s*** would be the best part of the album
Listen to the lyrics of drake’s verse… the hook… and Jay’s verse. And tell me how that outro would’ve worked. It wouldn’t have.

I get what you saying, but that outro is way too good to be left out.
For me really would be my fav part of the whole album
