He also wears the crown as the king of feelings on “You With Me?” while responding to claims of ghostwriting and owning his sound. While the grooves of VIEWS take you to the streets of Toronto, the rapper’s quick witted lyrics peak through every now and then.”I don’t run out of material, you shouldn’t speak on me, period, you try to give your side of the story, they heard it, but they weren’t hearing it,” the rapper spits on “Hype,” hinting towards his beef with Meek Mill. The Drizzy (or Drizzle?) sound will return, so chill. It’s up to us to move to the music that we truly enjoy, leaving more room for artists to work harder and smarter. I try to make music that transcends gender and nationality to try and unify people.” We all have a place in this world and so do the many acts in hip-hop today. “I don’t directly, literally address that in my music. “I obviously spend a lot of time in my own world but when I do take a broader look at the scope of things, whether it’s issues with the world, I have a massive amount of prayers for everybody’s well-being,” he says. When speaking on his mission with Lowe, the rapper opens up about creating a unified sound, a piece of hip-hop’s original mission statement. Drake’s growth won’t be similar to those of his peers simply because it’s his own. The rapper’s presence is just as needed as righteous lyrics from Kendrick Lamar and Lil Durk, to the questioning of self Future and J.Cole deliver. “This is evolution and we have to be happy about it and actually participate in the leading.” “So many people are caught up in the way things used to be,” he says. ![]() Pharrell mentioned on his popular Beats 1 OTHERtone this weekend the changing shift of hip-hop. The music undoubtedly reflects the times. Here, we take a look at some revelations from VIEWS you may have missed during the witch hunt for a classic-Drake project. His beloved formula is being tested, so much so that VIEWS isn’t given a chance. “Hotline Bling” became a meme-machine, and now gives dudes a chance to break into dance in the clubs like us ladies get to do with “Formation” and “insert any banging jam here.” For two years, Drizzy boosted a curiosity for VIEWS while delivering If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and the joint Future album, What A Time To Be Alive, but also found ways to fuse his music into popular culture. Seeing how many new artists have adopted the emo-raps the 29-year-old has made popular over the years, the rapper has already made classic moves. As he bluntly spits “Views already a classic” on “Hype,” web tears flowed in a matter of keyboard commenters who argued the rapper peaked at his Grammy-winning sophomore album Take Care. While we’ll never fully see into Drake’s world other than what he presents, many have been quick to digest VIEWS as an album that doesn’t provide the right carbon footprint into the rapper’s legacy. “I thought it was very important to do the album here.” The 20-track LP opens up with sunny flashy joints like “Weston Road Flows” and “Still Here.” His reggae, Afropop influences on “Controlla” (no respek for Popcaan sadly), “One Dance” and RiRi-assisted “Too Good” show he and Noah “40” Shebib are great at challenging hip-hop’s sound. “We really love our summers but we really make our winters work,” he explained. As fans gathered around their laptops fireside chats-style to listen and tweet their thoughts, Drake revealed to Beats 1’s Zane Lowe on the theme of the album, a changing of seasons in his homeland of Toronto. ![]() VIEWS, the album previously known as Views From The 6, dropped via Apple Music on Friday evening (April 29). In the middle of this comes the most-anticipated album of the year-the fourth LP from Drake. It’s been a big year for music, full of Lemonade from Beyonce, stretching our hands to Kanye’s The Life of Pablo to millions pushing Prince’s legacy to the ethos following his untimely passing. On VIEWS, Drizzy presents what fans want, but like the Toronto rapper, they will never be satisfied. ![]()
