    I don't mind Drake, I don't follow him as much as I used to but I certainly think Views is his must anticipated project of his career. What is it that has caused that? Is he due for a "classic"? Has his transition in style allowed him the opportunity for even more success? What is it?

    Drake has an excellent track record for phenomenal records so of course fans are gonna be stampeding to the next album of such a prolific entertainer

    Personally I've found his albums kind of mediocre. I've actually enjoyed his features and work that hasn't appeared on his albums more. I liked his mixtapes back in the day tho.

    ^?? But on topic, in most ppl eyes he hasn't fallen off yet and he's about to drop his 5th album but most ppl decline after album 1 or 2

    i said this in another thread, but it's mostly the way his current sound has been described as a "purging" and how a unique sound has been all but promised on views. he's also been in the city for a minute, and that's historically what inspires him more than anything else. also, the way they alluded to him and 40 being content with nothing but perfection for this one, it's got us pretty hyped. this is also homage to his city, so he can't airball this joint.

    all of that, and the fact that his last two studio albums have be a1/borderline classics (save NWTS maybe, depending on who you talk to).

    Because Drake is great, and because his last two studio albums have been fantastic

    Man I hated on this album so long, the first listen was a snooze fest..

    With that said, it's become an album I listen to every day. Furthest Thing is top 5 Drake imo, and there are no bad songs. No missteps, at least nothing glaring. It's up there with Take Care, no doubt in my mind

    I think we should let Views do the talking. Believe me, if it sucks I'll admit it. I don't care much for Paul's quotes, he's already said he won't be writing about the album. And he didn't even elaborate as to why (please don't either)

    im pretty sure he wont just because he doesnt like drake nothing more to it than that lol

    its not about something sucking w/ drake, its about it being okay but then getting overhyped...or stagnant and the stagnancy being dismissed/overlooked

    drake fans just arent that critical w his s--- anymore.
