Wouldnt say "slept on" more so underappreciated just as Drake is as a whole being able to create mutliple hits and classics for many many different genres.
Views is one of my favorite albums. It’s one of the only drake albums i consistently return to and listen to in full. I’m not big rap fan in the first place. I genuinely love the album
@@neo1675 controlla with popcaan instead of beanie man, views from the 6 which has a new verse that was cut from and remixed from u with me, and a couple more tracks not as good as those two
The reason why Views is slept on is because he dropped 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late". We all expected a lot more hardcore rap songs like 'Hype' and 'Grammys'. Trap was hitting heavy those days
@@joshennn the musical landscape in 2016 was also way more different compared to now where melodic sounds are one of the bigger elements in the mainstream
thing is though, hotline bling came out a while before views, by this time it had already gotten cold. what's even worse is you could argue hotline bling isn't even really part of the album. it's the last song on it and the fact that it doesn't really to anything to "conclude" the album in some type of special way makes it feel more like it was slapped on there for streaming revenue or just because of it being popular, not because it actually was supposed to be part of what he envisioned for the album.
@@yanameisawesome Idk why he put Hotline on the album (despite it being a "Bonus" track but is on all editions of the album) especially as One Dance was taking off to be his biggest hit at the time right before the album drop and i mean look at the numbers that song is one of the top 3 most streamed songs ever on spotify with almost 3 billion streams. Hotline Bling is nowhere to be found, and imo i feel like that's his most overplayed hit of all time as well. The title track of Views is a perfect outro and we didnt need anything further to sell the point that the album is done lmao
I’m not even a Drake fan and I can admit that Views was slept on! It’s one of my favorite albums by him alongside Take Care. 2016 was a great year in music history.
Views is incredible. It came out while I was living in the cold Northeast US, similar to Toronto winters. I moved to SoCal and I can't listen to it like I used to because it reminds me of hardships in 2016. The album works like a time machine.
The first time 9 came on, I was driving through the harbour bridge in Sydney on a clear night, that song for me redefined the sounds and the mood of the city
I don’t care what anyone says, Views was the best drake album ever, Weston road flows, 9, u with me?, even keep the family close are classics people still haven’t realized they are some of the best songs ever.
listening to Views just make me feel like I'm living Drake's lavish life , just think about how much those high quality sounds and production would cost
I was honestly surprised on how much flack the album got the first year or two...this album got my attention and love from the get go, now it's considered under appreciated or slept on. Lol, how times really do change.
Definitely slept on icl but grown to like it as time progressed. Top 10 tracks 1.KTFC 2. Weston Road Flows 3. Fire and Desire 4. Controlla 5. One Dance 6. Child’s play 7. With You 8. Views 9. Summers over interlude 10. Faithful
it was literally the best summer of my life when views dropped.. i miss it so much. not slept on just under appreciated bc the other b-sides were just as good as the mains
This was the time marker in our lives, and everyone whether they like drake or not. It’s a shift in culture just like the Beatles droppin that pyschadelic album that shifted culture back then and MJ dropping thriller. 20 years from now, we won’t get that 2015-2016 drake ever again so be grateful u dummies
It’s not bad just long for no reason and has loads of filler lines. Not filler songs, but filler lines. It’s also very inconsistent but I guess I can’t complain because that was the point since it was inspired by Toronto winter (cold trap songs = winter, dancehall vibes = summer)
Views was so dope, 9- meh U with me- fire feel no ways- dope hype- solid weston road flows- fire redemption- flames with you- dope faithful- solid still here- flames Controlla- Ion gotta say too much this was the summer anthem one dance- solid Grammys- Top 3 drake x future childs play- fire too good- fire fire and desire- makes me wanna call my ex views- if i was you i wouldn't like me either this was so fuego There was honestly no real misses on this tape and it's aging like fine wine.
I hated this album when it came out but I had downloaded the whole thing anyways (thanks streaming). Then one day I played One Dance on the album by accident and I just kept it playing not realizing I was Vibing to the entire album. This album is up there IMO.
Feel No Ways is my favorite song of all time. It just brings me back to better and simpler days and it even though it's a mellow song, I can listen to it no matter how I'm feeling.
I think that ppl may have expected something different or something. But now years later, Everybody...well most ppl say they love it and its a great album. So it is what it is
crazy that this is the first album that I dat down and listened to fully, i was expecting more tracks that sounded like summer sixteen but the amount of diverse songs made me open up to so much more as a music listener, eventually i was playing this album everyday when i was in high school and loved the majority of the album
Views is a certified Toronto classic idc what anyone says, that summer when this came out Drake literally owned the radio. Controlla, western road flows, one dance, too good, Childs play in opinion this is Drakes peak he’ll never make an album this good again.
This is not slept on but I think it’s underrated amongst the hip hop community, better than “thank me later” and undeniably better than “scorpion”, it’s a long album that I never struggle to listen to front to back. The vibe is somehow consistent and fluidly evolving throughout its duration. The atmospheric “samples” like that blowing wind at the top of the album just give it this sense of tangible place and context which I think is impressive for a project that isn’t particularly conceptual, it’s all just atmosphere. Soooooooooo......... 6/10, good polish, would vibe again
I feel like for a lot of people they were iffy at first with this album but it definitely grew on them and became classic. Especially after hearing iyrtitl, there was definitely high expectations!

The dvsn version of Faithful is 10x better.
@@Demsky83 just heard it, drake and pimp c really elevated the song or at least prevented it from feeling monotonous. Still good tho.

This was definitely slept on. They expectations were so high, a lot of people couldn't accept it for what it was.

Same! Redemption & Faithful 🔥
Yes because it isn't really a rap album.
The album isn't even a rap album. It has more r&b style
What genre are you a fan of?
One of the things about this album I hated initially were the lack of rap songs. Just Hype, Grammys and Pop Style but the rest grew on me
U obv didnt listen to the album, views is a rap song
@@301stealz I couldn’t be bothered to list all the rap songs obviously there is more than what I said you still get the point

@@edgincornell4359 thats what im saying this album had a healthy collection of r&b, pop, and rap

Now Afrobeats, Dancehall & Reggueton is the new Pop, bro was ahead of time with views
Listen to “summers over interlude” in a dark room with a blunt and come back

That’s DVSN
Preferably around late August
@@Demsky83 lol it’s majid Jordan
Probably top 10 drake song all time for me and it’s not even by him lol

I’m not even a Drake fan and I can admit that Views was slept on! It’s one of my favorite albums by him alongside Take Care. 2016 was a great year in music history.
This album was definitely overhated when it came out. Views is one of those albums that gets better as time passes. 7/10 imo
Nah that's definitely an 8/10 for me. Perfect album for driving at night in Toronto
10/10 classic
It’s a classic bruddas
10 stop being modest
I respect your OPINION. Lol why don’t others
More Life and Views are so under appreciated, both aged like fine wine 🍷

It was one of the biggest albums of that year and Hotline Bling was one of the biggest songs of the last decade. No, it was not slept on.

"9" seemed like a personal type song, but it slaps hard
Definitely slept on icl but grown to like it as time progressed.
Top 10 tracks
1.KTFC
2. Weston Road Flows
3. Fire and Desire
4. Controlla
5. One Dance
6. Child’s play
7. With You
8. Views
9. Summers over interlude
10. Faithful
To me, 9 is a fire track and the most classically Toronto-sounding one from Views. Always a hit in my playlist.
This is crazy!
Absolutely. The internet did what the internet did and copied each other’s opinions instead of trying to enjoy it themselves.
Exactly ⚠️💥
Nope. People with good taste know this album is garbage
views is literally my whole 2016 , i’m from toronto as well so this album means a lot to me
Feel no ways was super underrated
it was literally the best summer of my life when views dropped.. i miss it so much. not slept on just under appreciated bc the other b-sides were just as good as the mains
No the fuck. Everyone played that shit, the peak of 2016 foreal.
The sound and the vibe of this album is different from anything else I’ve heard even from Drake himself.

Views was so much for the city y’all couldn’t appreciate like we did in the 6 album captured everything bout the city 10/10
One Dance went fucking hard

Facts
My favourite album of all time. I just played it front to back for the anniversary
i’d argue views is a masterpiece, it is almost flawless man
full of fillers bad album
The CD is a classic, Western Road Flows, 9, Feel no ways, Child’s Play, Fired and desire, Views, Too Good 😌
Views was so dope,
9- meh
U with me- fire
feel no ways- dope
hype- solid
weston road flows- fire
redemption- flames
with you- dope
faithful- solid
still here- flames
Controlla- Ion gotta say too much this was the summer anthem
one dance- solid
Grammys- Top 3 drake x future
childs play- fire
too good- fire
fire and desire- makes me wanna call my ex
views- if i was you i wouldn't like me either this was so fuego
There was honestly no real misses on this tape and it's aging like fine wine.
Feel no ways, hype, still here, childs play, pop style & hotline bling all are classics.
Man “Hotline Bling” takes me back bro
All drake's albums are amazing
Lol
They can all be classics if we’re being honest

I will fairly say views is an underrated classic from drake
Being from Toronto, I will always be grateful for this album
Views is when I started to seriously pay attention to him
Not even from 'nothing was the same' ?
U wit me was cold though
U with me?, Weston Road Flows, Feel no ways and Hotline Bling are absolute gems.
