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.
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 feel like Drake, no disrespect to Drake, but is just popular by being made a mockery out of
1 million in album sales for VIEWS. Let’s make it happen. Dopest album ever. Drake is the next michael jackson and his buddy, Future should be called future Prince.
Get wheelchair jimmy dink outta ur mouth
Ovo stand for overrated oreos
No. I’m not wasting my money on his garbage album. Go kill yourself.
So…anyone thats not a shitty rapper or a nobody? Like ACTUAL HIPHOP HEADS saying its solid
Honestly haven’t fucked with Drake since So Far Gone. He’s gone more and more down the path of R&B/Pop star than anything else. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – he certainly has made some good music in the past, but can we just not hold him up as the standard bearer of hip hop? Please? He sings on most of the tracks, raps about women like he’s fucking Trey Songz or Usher on EVERY TRACK, uses ghostwriters but fronts like he don’t – yall remember this line:
“I can use a writer just to balance out my flows but I’ll never share my thoughts, this is all a nigga knows” Oops on that one huh right? Then his Stans rush out to hate on Meek Mill like dude is taking L’s? Where in the world is being worth millions of dollars and dating Nicki Minaj an L? Sure not everyone finds her attractive – but A LOT of people do. Hell, SHE got better bars than Drake – and writes her own shit. If that’s taking L’s – PLEASE let me get an L or two this year.
Furthermore, the quality of his output has seriously declined. I couldn’t even finish IYRTITL. Just tried to get through Views and I just knew the opening track was going to be him moaning all over it and the rest of the album isn’t much better – how is this hip-hop? All the songs begin to sound the same and he is using that overused trap flow on so many songs. God I can’t wait until this era is over. People still spittin crack in the underground, but I remember when the mainstream had salmonella spittas too. They are just so few and far between nowadays…
Like my man Royce said, “Ain’t this about a bitch like this a Drake song?”
If he wants to continue to rap to and about women he should’ve taken notes from LL Cool J he did it the right way
How ppl can’t see the the corny in this dude is mind blowing to me.
So some white canadien is authoritative voice on hip hop, gtfo
Not a single good hip hop artist is shown in these tweets. Just fans and skinny little teenage rappers
That was my first thought. Like, who the fuck are these people and why am I continuing to scroll?
Snooze from the 6…
*yawn*
Drake’s music definitely has a place in Hip Hop but it has no business being the leader of the genre
Drake belongs in the category with New kids on the Block.
I have not heard Lemonade or VIEWS and I’m not caring. I don’t eat at McDonald’s or Burger King. The Zombie Apocalypse is real I see. Yikes!
Real hiphop fans in here now, Fuck Drake and future, its all about Pac, Big, Bone thugs, nas, and wu tank, outkast
Any real Hip Hop fan would ever misspell Wu Tang #6 #DrakeKilledItAgain #PutSomeRespeckOnHisName
^^ You don’t get it, do you? He misspelled Wu-Tang on purpose to show that they’re an army ready to go to war with any emcees, and armies have their own tanks. It’s also a play on the guy’s username also “You want war..” It all makes sense.
Norm Kelly is the realest White man
Why did you post a bunch of nobodys twitter post? Who gives a fuck what any of them think?
Super_Future saved this album to be honest
i love this soup opera, it makes me feel warm on the inside
Problem is that the next era will most likely be just as bad or worse, think young thug. The genre made tons of progress from its inception until about 96 then it stayed in a good rut until 2002, the last decent year imo was 2006 then after that it hit its low only to be just marginally better this decade.
If you’re a Drake fan, go kill yourself.
I dont see no OG’s commenting on the album though, like when TPAB dropped. Even Kanye, as big as his ego is, had to show love and respect to K Dot when his ish dropped.
Real niggas use a Android phone to download music free.
Yep, that’s what we do.

Worst drake album… A few tracks are good but don’t save views from being a disaster. Very disappointed, even Kanye’s Pablo is better
