The Official Drake ‘VIEWS’ Album Thread

Very nicely summed up

How many copies have Joe's last few albums sold?......Matter of fact I'm curious if his entire catalog combined has moved as many units as this Drake album eventually will.

I dont agree with this argument. Just cuz someone might not sell well musically doesnt mean they dont judge music well.

If anything him being an artist (with longevity) makes his opinion more valuable, even if ppl disagree with it.

Hes like a niche rapper, but he serves his purpose well and has contributed plenty imo

Real talk.

Fuck Drake and this album. I only care about it because I was waiting for Big Ghost to review it.

and he did.

Why do y'all do this? Honestly who gives a fuck? Dude is entitled to his opinion because he spent his time (possibly money) listening to it.

Niggas use sales as a crutch and defense mechanism when they can't use critical thinking to effectively debate a topic such as skill or talent.

He brings up a great point that many fans feel and that Drake is lacking in the subject matter category.

Bruh....

3. “U With Me?” – The title of this thot anthem kinda says it all. To add insult to the paper cut.. Mr Sadpants had the nerve to sample the muthafuckin antithesis of his own self on this shit. How you tryna pay homage to DMX b? Aint like son went outta his way to ever say one remotely positive thing bout you ever bruh. Matter fact Ima jus let X speak on it…


Dog…its no reconciliation after shit like that nahmean. What you tryna be that man friend after he disrespects ya face n ya damn haircut? Son… Only thing he aint do was say that ya moms aint shit for birthin you. Thats it. That was the line DMX was unwilling to cross…disrespectin ya old earth for allowin a petty sideways talkin bitchmade wave ridin culture vulture wit trust issues n gummi bears pumpin from his heart to gestate inside her womb. Thats where the line is drawn for Earl. He gon hate on ya little motherly voice n how you walk n ya weepy lost dog face but he not bout to disrespect mom dukes like that. Thats admirable b. That’s a gentleman right there yo. But this Drake character? I mean look at this verse…

“On some DMX shit

I group DM my exes

I tell em they belong to me / That goes on for forever

And I think we jus get closer when we not together (*sniffle*)

You tell me that Im confusin

More immature than Marques Houston

Cuts too deep for a bandaid solution =(

We too deep in this thing to never lose me

LOLOL Im glad you find this shit amusing :'(“

Aint enough trash emojis to fully express how basura this boy bars is startin to get. Shit is like a teacher caught two 12 yr olds passin notes n read the funny parts out loud in front of the class n somebody threw a beat under it. J. Cole wouldnt even use these rhymes…

Fucking done. Shit is 100% accurate.

Drake can make hit singles but not an albums worth. He's marketable, he ll be able tour, get sponsorships, sell records.Best album is Take Care. His first album was trash.

He is what he is at this point. He's not in the making a classic business.

 

[Turfaholic]

What a time to be alive and iyrtitl are Drake's 2 worst albums by far

Hell nah nigga lol WATTBA is one of Drake's best albums.

Just seen this is suppose to sell close to 2 mil in a week, crazy.

How? Samsung ain't buy 1 million of his albums like Jay

As Forbes points out, under the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) new rules, “1,500 on-demand song streams in the United States [hold] the same value as 10 individual track sales or 1 full album sale.” This rule applies to songs released ahead of the full album on which they end up. Released last July, "Hotline Bling" has been streamed 400 million times on Spotify and 700 million times on YouTube. It's unclear how many of these streams came from the United States. But to give you an idea, 400 million streams in the United States equates to 267,000 album sales under the RIAA's rules.

As troy average as Drakes album is the combination of Apple Music release and his brand totally just bodied Beyonce and Tidal. Now make no mistake Beyonce is selling out fucking ballparks and stadiums every few nights like it ain't no thing. But drake just bodied Bey's marketing campaign.

Beyonce drops a surprise album + hbo special + tidal exclusive drop + rumored lyrics about jay cheating and you think that will be the talk of the month.

Drake drops views the next week + has a single interview on beats 1 + limits you from buying singles from Views so you have to buy the whole album if you want a digital copy + puts tickets on sale for his arena tour.

The result is the album sales for drake are going to look like double what bey did and his album will have more summer smash singles. So Beyonce has 3 times the amount of people at her show but drake is about do at least 2 times the sales his first week than bey did. Beyhive power and all was no match for Drakes Special Ops Stan Team 6 when it came to buying the product.

Long story short this shows the flaw that is Tidal's limited user base. Hip hop is built on first week power. Fair or nah Drake topped Beyonce because apple music had a larger streaming base and a larger online music store population in I-Tunes. Even bey who is tidal over everything decided to drop her album on I-Tunes after a few days on tidal only. Likewise drake had i tunes pre-orders that will inflate his first week as well. That meant as soon as views dropped thousands of accounts automatically downloaded the album and Credit Cards (and scammers) were charged for the purchase. Oh and nigga ain't even put physical copies in the store yet.

Times have really fuckin changed

That shit was straight corn

 

[esco soprano]

I c this is a good yr 4 r&b singers Kirby & b diid krazy numbers.....smh@ hip hop anticipating this Canadian off brand jaFAKING views hip pop ghost written bs

Not to quote this retard but speaking of jafakin i was listening to some old Drake, Dead Presidents freestyle to be exact and he was going at kardinal offishal :

So take me as I am have nada of me the red stripe on my jacket show you that Prada love me

I'm a threat in a city of no legends imagine that a whole Sixteen with no bredrens

No bloodclaat gunshots identity this you a rapper homie leave that for Trinity Chris word

He was getting at kardinall for the patois he throws in his raps im guessing cause kardinall has Jamaican background i believe even though he reps Canada.

Now years later this nigga the most popular Jamaican that aint Jamaican. Everything this nigga sez is old ass slang we used to use.

That shit is funny as hell. He still got enough cracka in him to hate on a nigga then take his shit and profit from it.

Na kardinal fronted on Drake. Drake wanted kardinal on the city is mine song. Instead kardinal said fck that and did his own thing in the beat then released it so I guess u can say Drake is just frontin on him now

Dope background info. I always liked that freestyle but I had no idea he was gettin' at Kardinal Offishal.

Did this foo just drop a random novel about Tidal just outta nowhere??? Bruh you sounding all kinds of corny at this point I mean damn we get it the richest and most valuable company in the world selling the most smartphones in the world has more subs than a company that's just got started..... What is the point you tryna prove that if you are a more popular and rich company then that means the ppl apart of that company are gonna have more success??? No shit Sherlock why not also school us on these funny gadgets that ppl sit in front of with the moving pictures and sound coming out of them smh

 

[GetoBoy]

@illedout

@GetoBoy

Explain the difference between Lauren Hill singing and rapping on her album in comparison to Drake doing the same.

A ) Lauren can actually sing

B ) Her raps aren't put together by a team

C ) She makes better quality of music

D ) Like it or not she's a woman so her singing and rapping isn't gonna be as frowned upon (look at Nicki she sings as much as Drake and just as bad but nobody trips)

E ) She wasn't doing the same songs for 7 years sometimes the quantity and oversaturation of something can play into it being more of a problem

 

[IceBergTaylor]

@Sion should just ban this nigga the next time he starts randomly talking about tidal

How sion gon band me for making a Sion Captain obvious post tho? The post is longer but carbon copy post of every sion comment stating the obvious. "I told yall niggas drakes album was going to be part singing and part rapping". "I told yall niggas drake was going to sell a shit ton of albums first week with views". Lololololol.

Nigga you want sympathy for tidal because the poor little company just started. All winter you was like "wait till this beyonce exclusive drop" every other post. Shit dropped and then Drake out did it with an average album lol. At the end of the day Tidal is too little too late to compete with giant's like apple music and spotify.

I don't think it's payed for streams it's just streams in general from credited sites that is inflating numbers that song alone almost has a billi in streams
