The Official Drake ‘VIEWS’ Album Thread

[TayGettem]

Ay quick question did Drake sell a milli cuz last I checked it said he projected to sell a milli first week not that he did so why I see niggas in here sayin he already did

He's projected to move over a million units in the first week. In his first day he sold 600k.

What day is it now

Shit sounded so racist...

Nigga u always outta the loop, beat it foreigner

And I didnt stutter. Relatively speaking (Duh) its fuck8ng impossible to fuck up when blended with hip hop. Name me a bad rap song by a talented rapper with reggae influence I'll wait

Distant Relatives

One Dance

Controlla

Plus half these niggas dont even know there favorite song is a reggae cover or influenced by it

Again, I'll wait. Bad mainstream rap-reggae song. Go...

Every song you listed is a bad reggae rap mashup.

You don't know shit about reggae. So don't comment on it. From the songs you listed I can tell you only listen to dancehall/commercial bullshit.

And Most of these mashups are hip hop beats whith reggae artist on them. The only rapper to rap on an actual riddim was DMX and to me that song was trash.

Drake is a fuck nigga who steal niggas waves, and you soft ass niggas applaud him for it.

You ole' Calgon niggas

Everyone on this site considers the following album as a hip hop classic........

There isn't much difference between what L Boogie did back then and what Drake is doing now. Matter of fact, Drake raps way more than Lauren did.

I swear I hate stupid niggas.

This is all coming from a big Drake fan as well. I remember getting put on to him by the IC between Comeback Season and So Far Gone. But the sad fact is Drake's topics haven't changed throughout all his music. Maybe he's just backed himself into a corner that way because of how open he's been in his music from the start. Songs about stuntin, takin care of your mother, feelings for exes, etc. from CS/SFG until now, and there's not really anywhere else for him to go.

Neither has Budden's :joy: :joy:

Its a dumb criteria . Budden hasnt stopped talking about toxic relationships for 5+ years now and it dont stop me from listening to him

On the flip, Jay z sure did grow a lot from Blueprint to Kingdom Come. And his new growth birthed a shitty ass album

Drake is who he is. Budden is who he is. Styles P is who he is. If ive already accepted them for who they are they dont have to change shit, just pick some good beats and spit that shit on whatever topic is your lane.

Yea wtf is growth as artist? Cliche. Lls Kanye grown than a mfer over the years and here he is droppin bird shit for albums

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

Lauryn can actually sing..

Lauryn write her own lyrics..

Lauryn also make better music..

I agree that she's a way better singer.

The ghostwriting shit is a crutch used by those that dislike Drake. Twista, Cube, and others have periodically used a ghostwriter. Just like Drake, they used one for a very minor portion of their catalog. Like the Blastmaster KRS-1 said, it's no big deal.

The Score and Miseducation are both classics, so yeah.....Lauren is a hip hop queen in my opinion. With that said, Drake is currently sitting on the top of the hip hop game. He, along with Kendrick, are running this shit. That can't be denied.

Speak on it homie.

Did Lauren's only album consist of her rapping in some songs, while singing in others?........Does Drake's new album consist of him rapping in some songs, while singing in others?

The answer to both of those questions is yes. There is nothing "stupid" about me forcing you niggas to explain your positions?

alright I'll take this on.

Let's start with the quality of singing. Lauryn's a pretty good singer I'd say, from a technical standpoint and the quality of her voice. Drake's singing is average at best, and that's with the assistance of autotune, studio effects, and being best friends with a dope engineer (40).

Then there's the rapping. I'd say Drake and Lauryn have closer skill sets when it comes to rapping than when they're singing, but I still think Lauryn has a slight edge on Drizzy.

a big part of the difference imo is the amount of albums. Lauryn has only dropped 1 album, Drake has 4 "official" albums plus 2 mixtapes that are essentially albums. then you can decide whether or not you wanna include WATTBA w/ Future. Drake's sound and topics haven't changed much throughout his albums.

Finally there's the big point of Miseducation being a classic and Drake having no albums that are widely considered classics outside of his fan/stan base. If Thank Me Later would've came out and been as highly regarded as Miseducation was things might be different.

I have no arguments against this post.

You gotdamn right i listen to mainstream and dancehall reggae, bloodclot. I live in America :joy: This aint Gloucester Ave, no one cares that you use riddim in sentence, no one cares about your traditional reggae principles. Here in Americaaaa if u gon add reggae to it just make it sound GOOD. Thats the only criteria. No one cares about your 'feel the riddim', this aint Cool Runnings. If u want traditional reggae pop in some Lucky Dube and kick rocks

Lauryn can actually sing..

Lauryn write her own lyrics..

Lauryn's music also make better music..

That ain´t the point of what the poster you´re quoting was saying. He´s talking in terms of artistic direction/decision, that the formula is practically the same as Lauren´s, doesn´t matter if he doesn´t write his own shit or sing as good, the intention is the same and thats the point he´s making.

Gratitude fam. This is all that I was asking.

Drake uses gw's periodically!?

Do you know the definition of periodically?

LOL at being in the wrong for looking for an artist to evolve past what they've been comfortable doing for 7 years. While in the same breath criticize those who seek to challenge themselves and stop out of their comfort zone. Thread turning into a joke. Mamba out.

the ghost writing thing isn't a crutch its facts..

drake has officially crossed over and become a pop artist, hence the Beyoncé comparisons..

The answer to both of those questions is yes. There is nothing "stupid" about me forcing you niggas to explain your positions?

I'll explain my take and my opinion.

For starters I don't care about the quantity or the musical output. Whether it's 1 song or 1,000 albums if that shit touches me for a lifetime pause, then that shit is the only thing that matters to me when it comes to music. Drake shit don't do that for me.

The only songs lauryn was known for singing were killing em softly, the song on sister act 2 and if I ruled the world. From what I remember she was praised for her singing. Drake wasn't/isn't praised for singing. Lauryn was praised for her great rapping ability on the score. People were already considering her a great artist after one group album. After 2 mixtapes from Drake people said he had great potential.

To me lauryn is an overall better artist then Drake because whether it's rapping or singing she does both outstandingly.

Drake not so much imo.

To sum this shit up. People didnt mind Lauryn singing because she was fucking great at it.

People don't like Drake singing because he can't fucking sing.

Fair enough.

[ZydecoShawty]

I can't tell if this is a rap album or R&B album, the only people who can consider this album a classic is hardcore stans and females, you can't tell the 'If You're Reading this It's too Late' crowd and 'What a Time to be Alive' crowd that this is a classic, I can't jam this shit at all in my car, the fuck I look like playing a album like this on my subs?

Joe can literally make any kinda song he wants. It's evident if you've listened to him throughout his career. Can Drake make a 3 Sides to a Story? Nope

My thoughts exactly. Drake isnt making music for a buncha guys on an internet forum who ONLY listen to rap he makes it for everybody. And its making him more successful.

Only in hip hop goin pop is frowned upon but maintaining that crossover appeal takes a lot more than rappers who sit in their own little niche.

Nothing wrong with either tho cuz musically both types are needed.

But for an artist like drake to have the potential that he has and not strive to push it forward would be a waste.

Hes not just a rapper anymore
