Twitter was right, Drake’s underwhelming performance was not enough to take away from this Drake song. Drake’s singing is an afterthought and almost a distraction with its overbearing echoed backing vocals and uninspired harmonies. With You is a straight shot of summer and Drake’s protege PartyNextDoor glides over the breezy production. I’m not listening to anything Drake saying lmao PARTYNEXTDOOR on “with you” #VIEWS /4SwrnEj9xV At first this song sounded like unabashed whining, but after a few listens, Twitter may be right. The last verse of Redemption dawg … Drake name dropped 3 girls and gave enough info to write a Wikipedia Page about each #VIEWSĭrake got sued in 2012 for using Erika Lee’s voicemail in his 2011 hit Marvin’s Room and decided to reveal “Erika sued me and opened a business” on Redemption. Twitter got it right, but this song should get as much fanfare as any song on Views. While there was a general consensus of Weston Road Flow being vintage lyricist Drake, it was rarely mentioned as one of the three best songs on the album - which it undeniably is.
Weston Road Flows got “comeback season” Drake written all over this track Weston Road Flowsĭrake’s album starts off strong and by track 6 I start zoning out and clowning more on twitter than listening. It took five songs for Views‘ first full rapping display from Drake, but Hype was worth the wait as the Canadian-bred lyricist decimates his “enemies that want to be friends with my other enemies.” Twitter understands the club-rattling potential of this song for the summer and gets it right. Hype gotta be released as a single at some point, because yea. Twitter talk bathed in the 80s prog rock richness of Jordan Ullman production and came out with a spot-on reaction to Feel No Way: absolute love. When Drake is ready to cash in on his legacy at a Las Vegas residency, Feel No Way will undoubtedly be in every set list for every show. Nah “Feel No Ways” is peak Speedboat Drake The drums on Feel No Way are ill as hell! #VIEWSįeel No Way 3:10 #VIEWS /PcZvEIQsZP Twitter talk was totally off-base in this case: The song doesn’t borrow enough from either song to overshadow Drake’s steady flow and sharp lyrics. “U With Me?” is produced by Kanye and it’s definitely got a new Kanye vibe, but with a heavy dose of 40 and they should team up more.ĭrake sampled a lyric from DMX’s 2000 single What They Really Want, as well as parts of his 1998 hit How’s It Goin’ Down, and Twitter overlooked a lot of this song’s greatness to harp on inaccurate comparisons.
#VIEWSĭMX, congratulations on your writing credit on the new Drake album! do you have anything to say? /mYYLQgXNq4

U Wit Me?ĭMX rapping at the start of “U With Me?” reminds me of Limewire days when you’d download a track & it’d be a completely diff. Twitter gets this right this is definitely one of the more forgettable songs on Views. Most of the Twitter attention the song received was either for the minimalist production of Noah “40” Shebib and Boi-1da or the hilarious “turn the 6 upside down” lyric which is bad no matter how you flip it. 9ĭoes Drake understand that an upside down 6 isn’t a 9, it’s just an upside down 6?įor a songwriter with a knack for making cliches fresh, lines such as “I would die for it just to show the city what it takes to be alive for it” is disappointing. This definitely sounds like a stronger version of Shot For Me from his 2011 album Take Care.

If Drake wanted to take a crack at penning the theme song for the next James Bond movie, the atmospheric ambiance and haunting strings of Views intro Keep The Family Close would be perfect. A few people on Twitter likened the fully fleshed out orchestration - and Drake crooning about not losing friends - to his musical output from 2011. Keep the family close sounds like something you hear in a film before james bond smashes a chick. April 29, it’s prolly just me but I’m getting James Bond theme tune vibes from Keep the Family Close “Keep the family close” is so drake of 2011 Here’s a track-by-track breakdown of the Twitter reviews of Drake’s new album Views. After Views hit Apple Music, Drake’s fourth studio album got plenty of kudos, including being called a legend and a classic, and being compared to Hunger Games characters. But were the tweeps spot-on or spotty?We reviewed the album ourselves to compare popular consensus on Twitter to how Views sounds in our ears. Twitter, powered by a perpetual stream of succinct thoughts, was home to thousands of people dissecting Drake’s latest release, with reviews ready just hours later. That one line swirled in my head last week when Drake released his highly anticipated new album Views on iTunes and Apple Music. In 2000, hip-hop legend Common rapped that “it don’t take a day to recognize sunshine,” the centerpiece lyric from his buttery-smooth love song The Light.
