I thought Flava Flav, wearing that clock
i thought it was Boosie too and his health had taken a turn for the worst.
i aint really riding for it. i just still really like what we got despite it not being what i wanted. of his 4 albums I'd have it 2nd behind NWTS.
Take Care just has too much shit I outright do not like. thankfully that era had his best loosies/bonuses BY FAR
really hope he follow up Views with a rap-focused set of loosies soon to balance it out such a pop-filled album.

Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake
You know I love to go there
Say I'm actin' lightskin, I can't take you nowhere
This a place for families that drive Camrys and go to Disney
They don't need to know all of our business
You wildin', you super childish, you go to CVS for Kotex
In my Bugatti, I took the key and tried to hide it
So you can't drive it, and put on mileage
Then you find it, awkward silence
I like that the nigga acknowledges hes lightskinned. Highkey, lotta dudes thought he was soft as cream puffs before the beef last summer because hes this lightskin upper middle class Canadian, but the dude proved he can be grimey on the mic. I still dont like Views though.
Tents full of music prepared for him to record vocals for.

I legit thought that was Crunchy Black for a sec.Life comes at you fast
Dude has no one to blame but himself, the OG Maco EP was one of the dopest things the year it came out but every tape since then he seemed to have purposely tone down his energy.
raptors win got him excited

Damn man, Views is boring. I thought giving it a nice loud couple of listens yesterday would improve things but I think it's even worse now.
- Came around on the intro but it suffers from something the entire album does: Weak progression. It's so one note. Even when it does build up a bit it drops right back into repetitive low energy in order to fill out the 5 and a half minute length. Could've been great with a producer who was pushing harder, and a singer who could reach into the stars to give this track life.
- 9, U With Me, and Hype are not built to last.
- Redemption, Faithful, and Fire & Desire are so boring
- Westen Road Flows and Views are still tired.
- With You, Controlla, One Dance, and Too Good are 4 of the top 5 on this album. He should've pushed this sound HARD.
- Feel No Ways is one of Drake's best tracks, period. This is the kind of driving music he should be making.

"I always listen to a lot of jazz, a lot of Thelonious Monk, Andre 3000 said at the time. "The new Kid Cudi album [Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven] is awesome to me. Thats kind of like the most recent thing that I think is really great. But other than that Ive kind of just been working in the studio and listening to what Im doing."

Wait, Drake drops 'B2B': one track where he plucks the lowest hanging fruit, admittedly with his butt cheeks, and drops it into a throng of serfs, and now is considered "grimey"? Non-ironically?
Did I just read that? Is that where we're at with this guy?

LOL, I thought the same when I relistened to it today for the first time in a long while. Better than I remembered.
NWTS has some of his best songs imo, despite also having some of his worst.
Too Much >>>
Idk about that, I think Views might be better. They have similar issues with a few highlights. At least NWTS is a more condensed package tho.

I've been thinking about Gene Simmon's comments about hip hop music a lot recently. After my initial gutteral response being a dismissal of the crotchety ejections of an irrelevant; I started thinking he may have point.
I honestly can't envision a future where rap music has any relevance to mainstream interest in 20 years. If it does; I feel as though it will sound like something distinctly different from anything we currently know.
What did you guys think about his comments here?

I thought "why is anyone paying attention to the opinions of a washed up, dusty guy whose only contribution to music was that he put make-up on to make mediocre music?"
Gene Simmons' views on hip-hop are as stupid as his views on politics.
your vision of the the future is idiotic too then
Hard to imagine it'll go away as a genre in the mainstream.
It'll keep changing. There are popular hip-hop artists today who wouldn't have been popular 20 years ago, but the genre will still be around I'd say.

If anything Rap will continue to be relevant because it has that strange flexibility, you look at Rock and styles changed drastically each decade and older sounds died off. You still get older sounds with newer sounds and more of a mix-up happening as far as sonic diversity.

Hip hop aint going anywhere, its too culturally embedded at this point and artists like Drake help corporations piggy back off its trend-setting nature. I dont think Ive ever seen corporations promote his memes as heavily as they did with #Views. Like, holy fuck, it was everywhere on social media and being hashtagged by every company known to man.
What an odd comment when hip-hop culture dominates mainstream culture currently and it couldn't be any less controversial to assert that either.
