討論/CRACKER BARREL : DRAKE “VIEWS” ALBUM REVIEW

DRAKE_VIEWSCOVER

There are a polarizing few standout points from Drake’s album, “Views”, so I’m a keep it brief. If you want the minutiae check out Big Ghost’s review for a blast. This album is mostly trash, and the fault of it lies with Drake. I’m insinuating the production is not the biggest culprit here. The bad it stands out for is some all time new horrendous. I’m a paraphrase cuz I’ve listened to this album ’nuff times already. Tings like ‘girl we ain’t together no more but you still mine’, ‘why don’t you check on me no more cuz we went our seperate ways?…blah blah…’. Yeah, surprise, mostly about women, unimaginable women. The other standouts are ‘Weston Road Flows’ which is mostly a rap song, and ‘One Dance’ which is a hit, but in his lexicon of hits, homie done got much betta. There is a lot of lyrical WTF-ery here from Drakery especially the first 5 tracks, and I been a fan for a good sec. Let me put on, ‘The Motion’, or ‘4PM in Calabash’ or whatever. Clean my palette of dis ‘ere.
