    3. He’s killing Beyonce sales. According to DX and Jay-z, Beyonce is the greatest Entertainer ever… on level with Michael Jackson! ROFL Congrats Drake

    4. Drake u d man so rule, meek mill or weak will lol,gonna get jelouse cuz him and his bicth boss in 10years can’t do that.

    5. Views is probably the best album since Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key Life. It’s been 4 decades since an album of this magnitude has been released.

      1. Alrighttt now go crawl back into your cave with that 1 album since its the only album and artist you listen to drake rick rider

      1. You think drake thinks about meek as much as all you douches do? Wanna know the real kicker? Meeks worth more than all you idiots bashing him and wanna know what else? Alot of the world knows his name who other than your mama knows yours or these other dipshits who keep talking meek mill still? Nobody so obviously meeks got you guys beat there too drake lyricaly whooped meek months ago now the guys on a new album and all else that life has to offer ahead unlike alot of you idiots apparently wake up and fall asleep with meek on the brain

      2. No just a guy tired of hearing meeks name i dont listen to jim dont foresee myself either these peoole who talk shit almost every other comment ohhh meek this ohhhh meeek that who cares everyone says his careers over but thats a lie everyone who keeps saying his name are the ones keeping his career alive with free publicity if you really didnt like meek like me other than this one article i never mention his name and dont plan on it and let his career die for real

    6. King Drake keep running the game always hate when your the top artist in the game ! Nobody will come close to his numbers period ! New album flame ! We all know weak mill sitting in his room crying at how your music just sells like hot cakes so on and so forth and his career is over. Still wish Drake woulda dropped that 3peat diss song against weak mill! Views all day

    7. Bro. How many the label buy? How many he buy? I call B.S. That album is the corduroy of albums. Like you bought it, then you wear it and you’re like I don’t knowwww, you wear it a few more times and still the same feeling. Then you say to yourself: how did this ish even get popular? #VIEWS

    8. Drake is dat nig. Hot album. Could be the greatest rapper ever. Ha. Can’t rhyme like Ron Bon Jovi or Aesop Rock though.

    9. Thats it its over for all your favourite rappers. Its all over. Don’t ever mention that peice of trash kendrick or even j cole in the same sentence as drake. Drake will outsell all your favourite rappers combined in 2016. You hating losers just have to accept the fact that drake runs this rap game. How long will it take for you hipster losers to accept the fact that you drake haters are a minority. Drake is loved by the all the mainstream population. The only people who hate drake are internet nerd hipsters like all of you that have no hope in getting any pussy. Drake about to go triple platinum with this classic. Just remember your opinions don’t mean shit at the end of the day numbers will put drake down in history while irrelevent hasbins like kendrick and j cole will be forgotton.

      1. Who fucking cares who sells the most? If all you listen to is drake and nothing but honestly i think you should have chopsticks jammed thru your ear drums it dont matter whos the best because whos he best will be a matter of prefference guarentee you walk fown the street and ask 10 people there favorite artists it wont just be drake so go do yourself a favor and diversify which is what hiphops all about

    10. Drake’s worst album to date. I almost fell asleep listening to this. NWTS was his last decent project, but even then, I could tell he was starting to get lazy. But of course this was still gonna sell a lot regardless, just because of his name.

    11. Every Drake album is overrated. His first album Thank Me Later was alright but didn’t live up to all the hype it had. After that, every thing this nigga made has been straight trash. Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, and that garbage he did with Future wack ass. Then stupid niggas on here saying he better than Kendrick and Cole? Fuck outta here. This generation is fucked up and brainwashed bad by t niggas like Drake and the shitty ass music they make. Y’all niggas better wake up.

      1. Who you kidding…Take Care was his best body of work…say what you want but numbers don’t lie…Drake is actually good at what he does barring the rnb singing aspect…

      2. Yo Ricky, u trippin. I love Kendrick and I prefer Kendrick over Drake since the release of GKMC but Drake’s shit has always been very solid. Views so far hasn’t impressed me so far, but some of the songs actually grew on me. Take Care was his best effort in my opinion, with IYRTITL being very close behind, mostly because it was so unexpected and raw. I would even dare to say IYRTITL was better than untitled unmastered, which feels like a bunch of leftover tracks and really didn’t do much for me. You could argue that he didn’t write some of the songs himself but keep in mind that Drake used to write hit records for other artists, so for me the final product is what is important. And please, J Cole must be one of the most overrated artists in today’s rap. His delivery is really nothing special at all. Forest Hills Drive was okay though, but never ever ever ever EVER even close to ANY of Kendricks albums. I’d say its about on the same level as Views

    12. Not a drake fan but his best to date was take care and that wasn’t a classic, most rappers with premium studio access make their best work in the first cpl go rounds

      1. Comparing this garbage you can’t even call Hip-Hop to a classic like Me Against The World? Are you fucking kidding me?! He shouldn’t neither be called Rapper, cuz he’s a wack R&B Pop singer!!! FOH wit dis bullshit!!!!

    13. *Views From the 666 would’ve been much better.* 1. Keep Satan’s Family Close 2. 999 (Flip It) 3. Lucifer, U With Me? 4. Feel No Peaceful Ways 5. Evil Hype 6. Hells Highway Flows 7. Redemption (Devils Revenge) 8. With You (Devils Daughter) 9. Faithful to Satan 10. Still Here In the Pits of Hell 11. Controlla (Resident Evil) 12. One Dance With the Devil 13. Horrorcore Grammys 14. Childs Play (Little Demons) 15. Satan Style 16. Too Good At Being Bad 17. Summers Over/Halloweens Coming Interlude 18. Fire & Desire (I Love It) 19. Views From the 666 20. Hotline Bling (Demonic Remix) (Bonus)

    14. Ahahaha Drake made so many of you boys angry, if you dont like him leave it that way. Theres no reason to be frustrated on all his news articles. Pop singer taking over rap…. GOAT

    15. love this album ………whats everyones problem with it the only weak song is keep the family close

    16. I’m surprised more people don’t know that views from the 6 is a term homosexuals often use as it is commonly know as the angle you see when your sucking a cock.

    17. Niggas really mad at Drake but for what? Can we really say Drake goes in the studio with the intent of making a street lyrical hard core album? HELL NO. Drake hard core fan base are mainly females and feminine dudes. That kinda combo guarantees sales because they actually buy albums. Drake aint stupid. Make an album about emotions, falling in and out of love, betrayal, sprinkle 3 songs where he is actually rapping and you got yourself a hit album cause the females eat that shit up. Drake aint no different from your regular rapper. He sings/raps the same bullshit as everyone else but does it in a sophisticated way. Not a fan but why hate on him getting money if he is one of the few who knows how to pimp to rap game. He is like Sinatra. All of Sinatra songs weren’t hits but he did his way and that’s what Drake is doing. Drake is doing it his way whether you like him or not.

      1. Sophisticated? With lines like “go so many chains, they call me Chaining Tatum?” Never. Nobody cares about him making money, the music is just wack. Nothing wrong with him rapping about the things he raps about, it’s just that he’s been rapping about the same shit over and over in every single album and this new one doesn’t do anything new or creative, the dude has gotten stagnant. And don’t compare him to Sinatra since he’s not at that level.

      2. Maybe a bad choice using sophisticated but nonetheless I agree the album is wack except for maybe 3 songs but if I was Drake why put in the effort anymore. Where is the legit competition that would force Drake to put out quality shit? Don’t say the obvious Kendrick and J.Cole cause those two are also in their own unique musical lanes with nobody competing with them but difference is Cole and Kendrick didn’t technically take their foot off the gas but Drake did and he don’t care cause the females (feminine dudes as well) are gonna go buy his shit whether its hot or wack. Sinatra comparison is to say who is bigger than Drake right now? I mean right now

      1. Molly . if you think Lillian `s blurb is really cool, last monday I got Buick after earning $8542 this last 5 weeks and just a little over $10k this past-month . without a doubt it is the most-comfortable job I’ve ever had . I started this three months/ago and pretty much straight away was bringing in at least $80, per-hour . have a peek here ••••••>>> alturl.com/3tzum

    18. That album was garbage. If you wasted your money on that shit, Kill yourself, you dumb bitch.

    19. I don’t like Drake anymore. I don’t understand the hype. He’s corny and he’s so ugly and gay and his music is trash. I hope Drake gets throat cancer and dies.
