The Official Drake ‘VIEWS’ Album Thread

[Ghostdenithegawd]

Didn't even need to look at numbers but you could probably point at a few mainstream artist with super inflated views that sold less than niggas who don't have no where near as much but fans actually brought the album

 

[EmM HoLLa.]

Question.. Can we call Drake a Hip Hop Artist?... He's more of a pop star that raps if u ask me. One Dance is damn near a dance hall record... And I say damn near because I don't want to offend the true dance hall folks out there.. I know the difference.

Without streams aint cheating

If they counting strams toward numbers then yea that's fugazi

How did Big Sean and Kendricks albums from last year go platinum this year and were you complaining about their numbers being fugazi or you just pick and choose?

Oh, you've confused me for someone who gives a fuck. I never talk numbers, couldn't care less

What i DO discuss is common sense. Hence my post

An album sold is an album sold. If i stream it for free, thats not a purchase aka a sale, therefore in past tense that album has not been sold. That's just pure common sense without the wierdo IC WWE attachments to any rapper

They do count free services into the album especially with advertisement driving revenue. It would entirely depend on the venue of free release and if it is considered by billboard.

1,500 YouTube plays now officially counts as an ‘album’ in the US

The fact that we comparing a rapper album to a female R&B singer should tell you all you need to know about this.... Smh

Bruh I dont even wanna go through the steps of illegally dl this shit if niggas is really given validity to this comparison by going back and forth about Beyonce.

Album has highs and lows definitely not his best i like the "take care" vibes on here...overall dude is a great artist the best in pop culture but hes not the best rapper in the game rite now cant even put him the convo these days hes an rndb dude. 5/10

At the bolded, currently I'd give that title to Beyoncé..

At the underlined.. no chance

 

[victory_kid]

As a dude from Toronto, I give this album 6.5-7/10.

Great:

Keep the family close

U with me?

Feel no ways

West road flows

Controlla

Fire & desire

Views

Bad:

Redemption

Pop style

Too good

Rest are cool...

Overall the album is alright... Top notch production, but Drake didn't deliver on a lot of tracks. Like he was playing it safe or just not caring to push a little more. The great tracks are well crafted, the rest are either filler or just dull.

It isn't a shit album, but definitely a weak follow up from Nothing Was The Same (I personally don't accept IYRTITL as an album), which I personally feel is his overall best body of work.

[DNB1]

Why? Drake upset at Buddens podcast?

So he gonna say he fucked Tahiry and she be pillow talking?

Lame, take the criticism.

Buddens makes it known he's a fan.

Plus Buddens makes bitches famous.

Budden has no ls on wax hasn't even come close nigga maybe a underachiever as far as what he's done in the business I highly doubt drake has a writer in his stable that could compete this would be a win win for joey
