Apr 5, 2016 So, most of the people I am cool with in Drake SXN know that I'm not too fond of him. That has only come about really in the past year or so. Probably around the time IYRT dropped. I used to love Drake, I thought he was for the most part, genuine and authentic. Some would say I blindly hate on him but here's a little screenshot to disprove that for all of those who agree: (Taken from my old last.fm account) My problem now is that it seems there is nothing authentic or genuine about his music these days. He has become monotone and just flat out forgettable. At this point, he has become nothing to me but an entertainer. Not a rapper or an artist, just an entertainer who relies on the artistry and styles of others to "create" his own music. I guess what I am saying now is that Views isn't going to be bad, but it will not be great. It will be at the bottom of the barrel with the likes of IYRT. There is really nothing objectively bad about IYRT, it's just mediocre and I feel that direction coming in with Views. This album won't be able to compare with Take Care or even Nothing Was The Same. I hope Drake can prove me wrong with the incoming album but I have no anticipation going in. Prove me wrong, Aubrey.
Apr 5, 2016 eeeh i think he tries to make hits everytime nowdays, he is just a better version of flo rida
Apr 5, 2016 It seems that some of my opinions that I've openly said on here about Drake are starting to hit home even with his biggest fans as well. They're starting to see it.
Apr 5, 2016 Agree with OP. we are talking about a supposed classic that is dropping. None of the tracks we have heard the past few months indicate that this will finally be Drakes first classic. Personally I feel with the two new tracks, If they were throwaways they would be received better, but since we know these will be on his album its getting the s-----y reviews (not saying the tracks deserve good reviews but the context helps). Pop style on IYRTITL would have been a better fit than for views considering how bad the track is
Apr 5, 2016 It wasn't the style that made me dislike IYRT. It just seemed so bland, it felt like I was listening to the same track throughout the whole project.
Apr 5, 2016 thats also my point.. he shouldn't bring this style that hes currently going with on Views.
