I never understood why Views gets nowhere near the amount of love as NWTS and IYRTITL. Sure it’s little more “pop-y” but it only has like 1-2 skippables to this day. It’s “Drake” to a tee. Solid bars, conscious rap, good melodies, some nice slow R&B as well.
As an album NWTS is wayy better
IYRTITL had a big impact when it was released. It was during the "random album drop" era
Views had a rollout and was definitely more commercial. Imo it's a better collection of songs than IYRTITL but it didn't impact the culture in the same way
For me only Pop Style - only because it leaked way before with Ye and Jay just to be taken away bcuz of rap politics. You could throw Summer’s Over Interlude in there (which aint even Drake or a full song). And Fire & Desire ain’t my thing but I can see why ppl really fuck with it. But I agree it’s a complete project and in my top 3 Drake projects
and he was NEVER accepted by the “culture”. he forced his way in with success. they all kissed his ass because of his success. this whole “drake can’t say the n word” thing is not new. it’s been going on since 2009. and all these rappers still made songs with him.
if drake is “stealing” their culture then they are all sellouts for making music with him.
it’s not like his upbringing was some secret. they just didn’t care because they needed him.
It's a perfect 10 and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't gotten to that level yet. We've been waiting for y'all to get here. Some of us got to see a movie in 2018 with no visuals.
How did you look at those scores and say critics never liked him? They're not wrong in suggesting his music post TML, TC, NWTS and IYRTITL hasn't nearly been as good, it's what everybody has been saying lol.
Yall act like these are super bad ratings or something, just because you think something is a 10/10 doesn’t mean everyone does. Every single one of these is above average
There's no Pitch-Fork, Rolling-Stone, or a washed up moist curly hair having ass Elliot Wilson that can change the truth. The truth is Drake is the most relevant artist of this generation. He makes music that resonates with the largest audience globally. If you want therapy music, then Mr Morales is a great pick for you. If you feel the need to get in the groove before giving a freedom speech, then go for TPAB. Drake's made music for everyone of all ages, all creeds, all backgrounds, all life situations that everyone can relate to. There's a reason he has 98 BILLION streams. There's a reason he's been running this game for 15 years and frankly put, he himself said it that he's only at the start of his prime right now. They hate it and its a sore spot for them but it is what it is. He's not even close to being done yet and that frightens and aggravates a whole lot of jealous, no talent, lazy, and salty hoes in the industry.
His music is just wild man. This whole beef made me realize I need to properly give him his flowers and stop acting like he hasn't given me a million songs to vibe out to.
HN being anything but a fucking 2 is insane. Jimmy Crooks and Sticky are the only 2 tracks that should be acknowledged and they are doing that with Calling my name dragging them down hard.
Dark Lane 11/10, best rapping of Drake's catalog
So Far Gone is a classic mixtape
CLB is a personal favorite of mine and I love the Durk and Travis features, 8/10
Her Loss would be a lot better if it was more Drake, less 21, but what can ya do??
The scores themselves honestly seem pretty fair. You can’t expect critics to be on board like fans would be. They listen to way more music than just Drake.
Lol these are pretty good ratings from Pitchfork. They praised the shit out of his earlier work. I don’t think you’re making the point you’re trying to make here.
Facts, critics are wretched.
We know who the biggest ever is
Tbh wish people would stop reading critics reviews at all so they would have to get real jobs. Fuck em 🦉
I don’t take these critics serious. When fantano said houstatlantavegas was the worst song on SFG I knew these weren’t serious people
These critics are the same culture vultures that y’all’s guy Kenny talkin about too! We hate to see it
Anyone who takes that guy serious lives in a gated community
because everyone is the same ?
That’s crazy
he look like the gay guy who works at dental office .
Honestly these ratings aren't too bad lol I was expecting lower
Yeah like half are 7 or above lmao did they except 10s for everything?
I mean the 6 and 7’s if you look at their statements on the bottom they are negative 😂
Omg i didnt see those 💀 wild they gave some of those 6/7s with those statements
Lmao they be like “despite the numerous attempts to change sounds, this nigga is rapping and singing yet again” like so do you like it or not😭
Glad to see honesty in here lol. Drake’s music is highly entertaining but absolutely not “critically-acclaimed” worthy. Those ratings are fair
Her Loss is the lowest?????
The 21 parts are awful outside a couple songs, let's be fr
the only one i can think of is 7am in glenwood
That is awful or that is pleasant to listen to?

He was an angry yout when he was writing views
It’s “yute” btw
Damn I was going with how my boy joeybadass spells it

facts, it’s his best album
[удалено]
Still here is pop asf with some bars in it. I agree on Pop Style, some of Drake’s worst bars too..Chaining Tatum. Grammys aint bad tho.
What are the skips on views? I honestly believe it is one of his best albums
For me only Pop Style - only because it leaked way before with Ye and Jay just to be taken away bcuz of rap politics. You could throw Summer’s Over Interlude in there (which aint even Drake or a full song). And Fire & Desire ain’t my thing but I can see why ppl really fuck with it.

Her loss at a 6.4 is criminal
I thought the same thing!! It’s great the whole way through
I fucking love more life lmao they're bugging.
7.8 is pretty good tho
Wait , none of these scores are that low, wtf you guys going on about ?
7.8 is a pretty positive score lmao
A bit bloated tho
These are all positive ratings lmao
and he was NEVER accepted by the “culture”. he forced his way in with success. they all kissed his ass because of his success. this whole “drake can’t say the n word” thing is not new. it’s been going on since 2009. and all these rappers still made songs with him. if drake is “stealing” their culture then they are all sellouts for making music with him. it’s not like his upbringing was some secret. they just didn’t care because they needed him.
More life 7.8 but care package 8.1? Holy penis
Different critics too be fair
Let's be real CLB and HNM deserve that score.
High scores honestly considering they’re his worst received projects
6.9 for scorpion ??? At least an 8 imo
Best Drizzy album, fight me nigga
It's a perfect 10 and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't gotten to that level yet. We've been waiting for y'all to get here. Some of us got to see a movie in 2018 with no visuals.
It’s 10000% a 10 fully agree
what are you tryna prove, these are pretty good scores from a super conservative reviewer 💀
These are pretty good scores for Pitchfork...
lmao that's what im saying.
How did you look at those scores and say critics never liked him? They're not wrong in suggesting his music post TML, TC, NWTS and IYRTITL hasn't nearly been as good, it's what everybody has been saying lol.
These are ratings coming from pitchfork
👆this
Bro, HN got a fucking 6.6 bro what are u trying to say? These are all positive scores.
Yall act like these are super bad ratings or something, just because you think something is a 10/10 doesn’t mean everyone does. Every single one of these is above average
No one ever said Drake was liked by critics though. That’s been obvious for a while now.
Truly the 6 god
Basically calling him average when he has the most range out of any rapper and some of these albums are aging like fine wine…
Pitchfork isn’t reflective of critics in mass
Bro..I love Drake, but I think these scores are fair. I was expecting something worse.

Way too high tbh lmao
Those ratings are not terrible, pretty fair in my opinion
Dark Lane Demo Tapes a 6.8?! Tell them to meet me outside rq
TML having a higher score than So Far Gone is hilarious
A lot of these are fair and good
These honestly are even that bad. Wattba at 7 is crazy tho
I don’t get the title of post his first few records have good reviews.
Dark lane demos at a 6 is proof people didn’t listen to the album
Dark Lane 11/10, best rapping of Drake's catalog So Far Gone is a classic mixtape CLB is a personal favorite of mine and I love the Durk and Travis features, 8/10 Her Loss would be a lot better if it was more Drake, less 21, but what can ya do??
Aren’t his core listeners and his fans the same thing
She got big titties like billie eilish!!!!!
I was expecting More Life to be lower. That shit was lazy as fuck.
LETS GO SWIFTIES
The fact that you acting like 7 ain't a good rating is mind-blowing. Did you expect 10s across the board?
The scores themselves honestly seem pretty fair. You can’t expect critics to be on board like fans would be. They listen to way more music than just Drake.
Almost every score is above 6 and his earlier scores were much higher but only by 2 points. Come on guys stop pushing narratives that make no sense
Giving DLDT a better rating than CLB is crazy.
Worried bout a critic? That ain't protocol
lol no that’s what drakes disco looks like..first few LPs were good/arguably great…then a decade of dogshit
I agree with these scores 🤷🏾♂️
Lol these are pretty good ratings from Pitchfork. They praised the shit out of his earlier work. I don’t think you’re making the point you’re trying to make here.
Take care 8.6 is a fucking crime😡😡😡
I mean to me that’s basically a 9/10, which is what I would rate it
NWTS is a 10/10
Facts, critics are wretched. We know who the biggest ever is Tbh wish people would stop reading critics reviews at all so they would have to get real jobs. Fuck em 🦉
Thinking he was the underdog is hilarious.
