Drake’s new album VIEWS dropped like a bomb last night (April 28) and the Internet has been awash in emotions, opinions and memes ever since.
A few Hip Hop figures posted their thoughts on Twitter, the others, presumably, were too busy texting their exes to post.
Views hard af!

Tampon brand Kotex responded to the namedrop on “Child’s Play,” where Drake raps “You wildin’, you super childish, you go to CVS for Kotex / In my Bugatti, I took the key and tried to hide it” with a since-deleted tweet that said: “We feel ya on the Cheesecake, @Drake, but tbh we think you’d totally take the Bugatti to the store for her. #RealMenBuyTampons#views.”
Meanwhile, fans went in with jokes and memes inspired by the album.
I guess it's Drake meme day today.

Drake has me wanting to get wifed up but Beyoncé's already talked me into divorcing his dead ass & starting everything on fire. I'm torn.

I feel like a low down dirty scheming bitch pausing Beyoncé #LEMONADE for Drake #VIEWS, but it must be done.
Is this what Jay-Z felt like?

Drake's music make you wanna do some G shit but do something sentimental in the process like break into ya ex crib & take out her garbage.
