Views on "Views"

                This album really needs more time to be taken in, people are too quick to call something a classic or trash. I personally enjoyed this a lot which was a relief as my expectations were so high, and is why I'm giving it such a high rating. Drake gives us a taste of everything from Jamaican rhythms to slow reflective ballads. 

                For me the reason Drake will never please all of the people is because he's not inside a box, we all know he does different things besides the bear basics of rapping and pure rap fans will never truly understand there's more to a project than one specific thing. From the get go the opener is like a Buble/Bond movie soundtrack and it was so unexpected I genuinely didn't know what to expect when '9' popped up. Songs like U With Me?, Weston Road Flows, Hype, Still Here, Grammys and Views show us Drake can still go top tier with his bars and delivery whilst the crooning on songs like Redemption and Fire & Desire showcase what Drake does best in terms of his laid back night time driving catalogue. 
                I really love how the album captures the seasons in the sounds, it remains Diverse hitting highs and lows left and right and yet in my honest opinion remains incredibly cohesive. Worth the wait, give this one time people.
