When you’re Drake, you’re held to a certain standard when dropping a project. It’s a standard that rightfully comes with being one of music’s most influential culture shapers for the past eight years. That’s why when his supposed magnum opus, Views, didn’t live up to the self-inflicted and ultimately unfeasible hype, he faced criticism (for his craft) like never before. The numbers would say otherwise but even die-hard OVO stans would agree that the 6 God played it too safe on his last offering. It was his first notable misstep but truly a standard case of promotion and marketing outpacing the actual music.
So in a tactical move to save his celebrated track record, he quickly announced new music in the form of More Life; a declared “playlist” that strategically allows him to fire off unfiltered creativity without having to deal with the burdening pressures that come with labelling it an “album.”
In many ways, More Life is the two years removed sequel to If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late which remains one of Drake’s most cherished bodies of work amongst fans. Just like IYRTITL, it’s a collection of songs that don’t have any real storied connection to each other – unlike Views which sonically told the story of Toronto’s changing seasons. But even then, Drake has evolved since IYRTITL and More Life magnifies that evolution. He has seen the success of his Caribbean-infused dance records, he has seen the rise in grime’s global popularity and he has definitely seen the genre totally shift towards an all-trap formula that feeds the streets. All these isolated categories come wrapped into one 22-song playlist exclusively curated by OVO’s most pioneering minds: executive producer Oliver El-Khatib and of course Drake, otherwise known as October Firm.
A lot has transpired since we heard from Drake last and he promptly addresses a few hot button issues on the abrasive, shit-talking intro “Free Smoke”. He deads the JLo dating saga (“I drunk text J-Lo/Old number, so it bounce back”), disregards Jay Z’s past advice (“I didn’t listen to Hov on that old song/When he told me pay it no mind/I get more satisfaction outta goin’ at your head”) and then swiftly takes yet another jab at Meek (“How you let the kid fighting ghostwriting rumors turn you to a ghost?”). After a few quick words from OVO henchman Baka, the OVO team connects the dots accordingly.
There is no denying Drake’s strength on the tropical riddim tip — it’s perhaps his strongest musical suit at this very moment. “Passionfruit” kicks off a slew of five songs that perfect the cultural behemoth known as “One Dance.” Lots of high keys, claves, bongos and steelpan drums carry Drake’s softly laid Toronto patois lyrics to even catchier heights. But despite how infectious Drake’ warped dancehall style sounds are, there will always be “culture vulture” criticisms because of how raw his desired adaptations are. Once again, Drizzy strategically takes a step back and lets the “playlist” silence some of the hate. The dancehall fresh “Get It Together” fades Drake to black while afro-beat DJ Black Coffee and UK songstress Jorja take the reins and both “4422” and “Skepta Interlude” don’t feature a single word from the main star. It’s a small — yet effective — way to show genuine appreciation and admiration instead of treading in musical appropriation waters he’s constantly accused of trespassing in. He even brings countless influencers (Giggs, Kanye West, Sampha, etc.) along for the ride.
On More Life, you can literally pick out your favorite type of Drake and have a handful of those songs within ear’s reach, which not a lot of contemporary rappers have the ability to do. Drake has mastered almost all moods and gives listeners a wide variety of options to choose from. Stunna Drake pops up on grime inspired tracks “Gyalchester”, ‘No Long Talk” and especially “KMT”; which rears such a menacing tone that it might find its way onto the next Saw soundtrack. Trapper Drake puts in work alongside Quavo, Travis Scott, 2 Chainz and Young Thug on Portland” and “Sacrifices”. Sad Drizzy comes around on “Teenage Fever” with its clever JLo sample (at least he got something everlasting out of the fling, eh?) and “Since Way Back”, another winning PARTYNEXTDOOR duet. Then there’s Poetic Drake shines on the open diary “Lose You” and “Do Not Disturb”. And Champagne Papi the Hitmaker is obviously front and center on the Gold-certified and subtle banger, “Fake Love”.
Other than the Yeezy collab “Glow” being a bit lackluster, primarily for being slow and sonically off-putting, More Life has very few stumbles and a plethora of exciting moments that will ensure this project’s shelf life. He raps on “Do Not Disturb”: “I was an angry yute when I was writin’ Views/Saw a side of myself that I just never knew/I’ll probably self-destruct if I ever lose, but I never do” – a line that more or less sums up where Drake’s head has been for the last year. His pen has been in question, his collaborative intentions — the center of scrutiny and what does he do? He puts out a compilation of sounds so internationally digested that denying his place on top of rap’s food chain easily identifies you has a famished hater.
Straight garbage!
Straight fire!
A testament to ovo’s work ethic…what recent release is better than more life?
Rather You Than Me…
seriously that fat ass got no bars and I’m not a drake fan imma eminem fan and hiphop dead cuz of fat people like rick ross
The BS review of this album i have read. 3 tops! You guys are not HiphopDX, you guys are HiphopDDR. Drake Dck Riders!
You must be an expert at DR. It takes an expert to know when others are DR’ing
Holy shit what has happened to this site? This is a poor review. Thing with drake is, he doesn’t make great albums. Don’t come with all the bullshit that this is a playlist, what’s the difference? But this is a poor body of work (again) and is just a bunch of dance/trap songs, which gets boring. This isn’t a great album, 4.2 is insane and even die hard drake fans aren’t saying this is a 4.2/5. It is a 3.5 at best, being very generous. But you have obviously been paid to write good things about Nicki and Drake. Can’t wait for next weeks article: Lil waynes Rebirth was underrated and is a classic.
I’m a fan of his but the album is just more of the same it’s decent integrity is very important to me
Glow is the best song on the album by far and shows promise for a joint project.
But of course HHDX would give Drizzafaily a great review. That Young Money Payola is no joke. This playlist (fuck off an call that shit an album)
In the first paragraph they clearly didn’t give views a great review so I don’t see the bias angle
I stand corrected.
Album of the last two years… up there with TlOP, no skippable songs. Views was trash btw
It’s official this sites opinions are shaky, its crazy cause they call people a hater at the end of the article. Well I must be one cause this album is a1 garbage juice. I’m hater cause I wanna hear a hiphop album, instead this shit feels like reggaeton. You need to deal with the fact that drakes last few album sold very well, but quality wise there duds. Stop giving this guy the top lyricist position. Because he’s not one
So how does the album sound like reggaeton? or how is this not hip hop? If you’re going to be critical article you should as least prove your opinions.
Fam – Couldnt get past track thirteen on my first play. Albums are about a cohesive experiences. And If you do a ‘playlist’ for example – then the thing gotta be changing from one mood to another depending on the playlist. For example- I’ll play Flying Lotus Coronus the terminator, Outkast Elevators, Kelis – Millionaire. They all This hiphop meshed with funk type thing so if this is Drakes attempt at merging his various culture vulture tendencies (I dont wanna say style, Drake left his style on NWTS), then homie needs to go back to the drawing board. 2/5 for the culture vulture.
Drake is the champion for Beta Males
Damn how Ross album rank under this? Shit was better
They said this album makes the skip button useless? C’mon son half of the tracks are throwaways from Views
Man this is wack go get Getto Poet from Marcus Clae if you want to hear a kid with real lyrics
huh?
Drake is one of the most popular rappers of the last decade and he is a hitmaker. But he still didn’didn’tdidn’didn’t manage to create a great album.
classic
Drake’s the G.O.A.T.
Ur a goof
naw ur
straight classic
Lol!!!!
still no dc4 review FUCKING WO
This album is pretty weak, very disappointing.
Where was it weak?
This album is too long and pointless. There are only 2 tracks that are solid and Drake is not the best verse in the song.
what? did you listen to the album or ever read this review?
@hiphopdx, Such a OVO dick rider comment, don’t get me wrong tho, great album! For sure need that skip button tho!!! I will definitely pass on all those european flows.
lmao 4.2? FOH DX smh. lol which higher standard is Drake’s projects held at? He has never really released a great albums. His discography always ranges from mediocre to good. LOL @ “makes the skip button useless”
LOL i think i used the skip button 19 times listening to this trash “playlist”
I still can’t believe I fell for the same trap listening to Drake. I thought Views was worse, but this? Good Lord, this was worst from this guy. Trash at its best.
Rozay album shits on Drizzy. Stop dick riding OVO-YMCMB
For Once DX! For Once!! Thank you!
More garbage.
More Life
Ah Maaaaaaad Ting!
Dear Jah, mi nah care bout dem hatin bumboclaats, mi just wan More Life pon mi life!
Solid Project
Base on logistics,
Wheres da Love
Good rating.
Naso DX! Una try joor
Much improved from the last project, good rating DX.
U r kidding me 4.2 for this dx Coen on Hahaha not like it matters since the heart pt 4 dropped
This is a form of sanitation from the part of Drake that angry Views he gave out lol
True brah! The first playlist classic! Now watch others copy.
More Life More life goes hard…summer 17′ is Drizzy season again. My three favourite songs are Blem,Portland, and Skepta interlude.
Fire!
Album Of The Year already
foh with this review
“He puts out a compilation of sounds so internationally digested that denying his place on top of rap’s food chain easily identifies you has a famished hater.” Man april 1st ain’t here yet
found one!
Ross has the doorstep album this year so far.. u gon rate it 3.9 n give a non rap soft playlist 4.2.. R u serious? u can’t compare the Ross album to this no substance bull..its a 3 at best…
Dopest
not a drake fan but that fat shit sounds like he chokin on his moms penis
This is a pop album. This is not Popdx
Naw… It doesn’t have Justin Timberlake on it.
Beautiful Journey
Tanx Do Right And Kill Everything.
Easy really.
I’m the beta Controlla y’kno
yeah your patois dictation needs work.
Not a drake fan but the album good
This is one of the better reviews of a Drake album by hiphopdx. The only ridiculous part is the whole culture vulture nonsense. LIke anyone cares that KRS-one wasn’t Jamaican but did Black Cop. The same with Mos Def. The culture vulture criticism is just another silly reaching moment for Drake haters
Krs One is actually of Jamaican descent
I agree with your opinion on the subject. To me good music is good music.
If you think this album is even good, not great, then you are clearly just on Drakes dick… this album is awful…. I don’t know what he was trying to do with this album, but it is not cohesive, doesn’t have any “bangers”, no memorable songs, and nothing to make you have anything on repeat…. It is not good at all…
Hahaha how mad does this make all the hipster nere haters feel Drake and future bothngot 4.2 ratings while there favourite underground rapper is irrelevant and gets lower ratings than then2 kings.
this is trash
Life!
How much is young money paying y’all to write this
Pretty good by Drake standards, which means it is pretty average by rap standards. I don’t see this “playlist” staying in my play list for long.
fuck the haters y’all love mumble rap
This is guy is a joke both drake and scott gaysher. The credits for the album have about 50 writers on it. Lmao. Just an entertainer
Credits are from Samples and producers..
Food for thought, understand how music is created
Not when it say written by next to the credit, idiot. YOU learn him music is made. There are over 25 writers on this album. I count 5-6 features. Dumbass. Drake himself calls his writing a “collaborative process.” Kind of like when all of those different men ejaculated inside your mom 9 months before you where born. Ask your dads, they will explain how a Drake song was written, then look in a mirror. Your dad/dads is Frakes talent’s equal.
SO Jay Z can have 100 writers on his album on his is a GOAT but Drake has half as many as he is an entertainer.
SO Jay Z can have 100 writers on his album on his is a GOAT but Drake has half as many as he is an entertainer.
Dope album, production and everything comes together nicely, defffo a cop….I met someone newww last night and we kickkkeed it
Just Passing
? spot on
Epic album
Drake is a Pop singer, nothing to do with rap or Hip Hop. The Industry wants to destroy Hip Hop by promoting fakers like Drake and lil yachty. This album is trash, pure kiddy pop garbage. Who listens to this? Confused gender teenagers and little girls going through puberty. Go listen to Logic or Joey Badass if you want to hear some real spitting. All that talk about “Haters” doesnt work when you are a paid-to-write presstitude. This is Not Hip Hop but Pop
Never understood why dudes hate popular acts that push numbers.
This review was paid for by Turdman and Cash Moey, just like all the non-talented imbeciles in the Industry that dont write their own music. This guy is the biggest Fraud ever, doesnt write his own songs and STEALS sounds from all over the World without acknowlding that Culture, he doesnt even mention where it came from. He steals from jamaica, he jacks Afro-beats, he steals from U.K Grime, he steals from American Rap culture. Can Drake come up with anything by himself? No he can’t, he’s an Actor from Canada. Everything is so fake nowadays and most of the poeple love it…. since they are Fake themselves. Fake attracts Fake. Real recognizes Real
He’s the new milli vanilli
Dead on lol
BS
I heard he’s the new Jay Z
That’s a bunch of bullshit
Nothing what you wrote is true
Review on point.
Agree
Credit where its due
lol didn’t even mention the flow biting that seriously downgrades this
Where did he flow bite?
Well done! Scott Glaysher
You know what happens when stuff gets digested? It becomes shit….so if this is “internationally digested”, that means it sounds like shitty music from all over the world. I agree.
or it could mean you’re just really bad at metaphors
My favorites; Cant Have Everything, Sacrifices, Lose You, Do Not Disturb, Portland, Free Smoke, Passionfruit, 4422, KMT, Skepta Interlude, Glow & Get It Together.
Agree 100%
This album is being hyped up like his last album, and his last album was quickly forgotten. These imbeciles need to come out every 8 months or nobody will remember their songs. They quickly fade away. Real music is timeless
Facts!!!
Not Facts!
Except people remember most of Drakes songs. So, what was your point?
I don’t know how he’s gonna top more life in 2018…..the only con to the album….on a side note, its too bad cudi and pusha are haters, a pusha/drake collar would be flames pusha needs that type of production
1000% agree with Scott Glaysher.
fair assessment…i’m bumping the hell out of the album. kids just admit it, drake has talent. period
Already Joined the discussion.
It’s official. Y’all PopDX now. Hold this L for this kakyriding review mate
Uhhh… They have been reviewing Beyonce, Solange, Jidenna etc.. for a while now. Where have you been? However, this is a Hip Hop album.
So you can review a Drake album days after it’s release but no one on the staff has listened to Lupe’s new record. Odd. If Illmatic is a 5/5 then it was written is a 4.5/5. Yall telling me Drake and Future on Nas level ???
True shyt man shyt ain’t touching real classics or even coming close shyt is trash I wouldn’t even bump any song on this trash it isn’t even coming close to classics like illmatic infamous it’s dark hell is hot obcl liquid swords the chronic doggystyle hell on earth hell hath no fury capital punishment 2001 all eyez on me enter the 36 chambers ready to die grodt supreme clientele And even besides that it’s not even touching 3/5 albums from real McS with bangers on em y’all is smoking crack! I
Agreed. But Drake is not a rapper. He’s a rapper/singer so in the rapper/singer category he’s the GOAT. I don’t know anyone who’s done it better. But it’s stupid to compare him to the golden age rappers who simply made amazing hip-hop albums. He’s made a new category relevant. J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar run hip-hop. Drake started out as more of a rapper but became a pop star by making pop hits where he sings. He can actually sing decent unlike other rappers who try it just to sell records.
officer ricky fans in shambles.
No Frauds? LOL. This child actor using Jamaican accents, US slang, claiming street shit and trap shit, with 25 writers credited on every song? Leaking pics of him with hoes he ain’t fucking all over the internet to throw off the scent of gay. No frauds? At least Snitch Ross writes his own shit…
That didn’t sound like a Jamaican accent sounds more like the generic west indian accent Toronto kids pick up and isn’t Drake’s dad from the US? Since when is it bad to have credited writers? Look at Jay Z album and he has double what Drake has on any of his albums but no one says shit about that and I think Rick Ross uses more writers than Drake too
What’s the difference? He’s still using fake accents.
How is it a fake accent? Are you stupid or something? I already know you are since you said Drake’s accent is Jamaican. You probably haven’t heard any west indian person speak in real life.
How is it fake again?
So much hate for Drake, but he really came through on here. Views was disappointing, this is much better.
I’d argue every Drake has been classic in a truly postmodern sense. They have epic cultural effect in the short and immediate term. They are social media events. They are literally memes. But will they last?
Drake next album will be released by the end of this year. Nobody remembers his “hits” long enough… he got so many credits on this album did he write ANYTHING? Wha kind of Talent is that when you need 50 song writers to write your shit? Fraud
Meanwhile an average Jay Z album has twice as many credited writers but he is in the “Song Writers Hall of Fame”
A dope project and pretty damn good, definitely better than Views and a return to the Take Care and Nothing Was The Same Drake that I can fuck with. I think it’s overhyped and Drake generally overall is overhyped but a dope project nonetheless.
Since when is DX giving .2’s?
Rating system went from 10 options to 50 options.
OVO man so unruly!
Good project
I hit the skip button nuff, all the beats sound similar. Dry lyrics and rubbish features only reason he has gigs on it is because drake knows he is wack and it makes him sound better. Drake waters everything down, house music, stone island 2 things I used to mess with but not no more because of this chi chi man.
Drizzy Da Goat
Overrated lmao.
Nope
Da Greatest!
This Is Life!
Drizzy with that heavenly vocals in Glow!
Lmao at heavenly vocals !
Not an angry Yute anymore!
I’m sorry, I can’t fuck with Dancehall “riddims” Drake, smh, and probably never will. All of those songs that “perfect the cultural behemoth” sound damn near the same. When he raps, he has a top notch flow, everything else he throws at the wall ain’t for me, and that’s fine too, much success to him.
Ima replay this mofokin record
OVO UNRULY all tracks are fire only the tracks with the rap finest are Mainstream weak garbage shit, glow & Portland
Best track is Passionfruit and than Comes kmt & no long talk,
And next the tracks gylachester, blem, Skepta interlude, Teenage Fever, cant have everything, since way back, madiba riddim, 4422, nothings into something, do not disturb, free smoke, jorja interlude
This playlist feels like take care nothing was the Same and iyrtitl with Other new Music Elements
Lit album
No Mind Dem
Mor!
Sure for me!
Do Not Disturb > Rick Ross discography. How dare dem bloodclaats compare ML wit RYTM?
“Tell your big homie I’m all for goin there again, he aint even die and I ball with his inheritance”
Can’t Have Everything song of the year!
Drizzy show us the way
As a long time fan I can say that he’s done well on this album, really, so many themes and such, this is the Drake I love not the Views Drake but he understands himself that it was his worst project. This really should blow up Drake, great songs.
Trash, foh.
Dope
dude doesn’t write his own shyt so… and even if he did shyt is soft too much dick sucking going on over here drake doesn’t even have half a classic album anybody who disagrees clearly loves pop music lol
Not a joke ur a joke for condoning this bullshit lol now go dance and sing along to ur lover music cuz that’s the hip thing to do right? Haha I swear dudes is worst then bitches
You seem to be an expert in dick sucking? Is this what you listen to suck dicks too?
Real shit!
Fake.
uninspired, unoriginal, flow jacking, beat biting bitch made pop bubblegum bullshit..fuck fake drake…#DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
So unoriginal garbage!!!!!
No
Scott is a white girl.
Sorry hater(s) he clearly writes all his shit just like I’m calling you out now.
yeeeeeeeah n they low-key know it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHH
What about the reference tracks n even gettn sued for stealing someone’s verse. It’s kind of lame to back track now n act like he hasn’t but even still his pen game isn’t on Jay-z’s level or even j Cole’s
Jay Z’s paid writers haven’t written anything good for him in over ten years.
“I witch fLows like I switch time zones”
“Said im top 5 but im top 2 and im not 2”
Album sucks and what sucks even more is how much hip hop dx sucks cash money cock!
Did you watch this cock sucking? I mean that’s cool if your into men sucking cocks but not sure what this has to do with this album.
If your going to sing just become a singer leave hip hop the fuck alone or go join ja rule
I mean 98% of this album is rapping?
Ha…. Mean while Kendrick releases a new album and half of it is singing.
Trash!!!
awesome
Too much dicksucking going on
Then stop hanging around people that suck dicks?
This is just not for me.
It is for me
Nice biting DRAM on Ice Melts
Drakes such a fucking vulture.
so yeah average music from a average artist…sticking to the same formula with a cringe Grime twist
another classic from drake
Your buggin if this is a classic then what is ready to die or infamous or illmatic etc… are you saying this albums on that level or even 10 percent of em? foh.
Wack album wack artist and not hip hop!
How is this not hip hop?
care to explain?
Needed This!
“Damn I must be coachin cuz Im not playin wit yall”
More Life More Everythang!
“How you let da kid fightin ghostwritin rumours turn yall to ghosts”
Yall so lucky to have Drizzy
Never Better.
“They dont know you gotta be faster than me to get to me, no one has done it successfully.”
“Im a reflection of all your insecurity”
Drizzy already got da streets locked fuckbois
Please tell me that you are talking about the suburbs streets… Right?!
I gotta sit back n digest.
I’m a huge Drake fan. But this album/Playlist is trash. Why is everyone praising it? What song will stand out in a year? What’s his next few singles?
Because he has tracks that he isn’t even on that’s supposed to be a good thing?
The hype of a new drake album in a world of crappie music is whats making making this album hot.
Hip hop is almost dead.
We need a better album from Drake.
He is too good to put out this album.
nuggah erbady knw hu u r
Dunno, pick one of Do Not Disturb, Passiofruit, Cant Have Everything Lose you, Sacrifices, Free Smoke…should I go on?
This dude is straight corny!!! Now i sit back and watch the teenage f-bois pop a blood vessel typing a reply
I think he’s right. While the versatility in the album is way more consistent, you have an album that you can’t call an ALBUM because it shared no congruence. It’s simply a playlist with good tracks, doesn’t change the fact that views was an album that did what it was intended to do. I’m from Toronto so I can say it satisfied the us. Drake may be a better pop artist then rapper but when he makes a project I except more from him then more life. I loved nearly all the tracks, but none of them connected. It felt more like he had a bunch of previews on more life for bigger projects, like maybe a kanye + drake album we’ve been waiting on?
Why isnt 0 an option or maybe a negative 4 would work. Giving a 1 outta 5 just seems way to much for Aubrey a.k.a “Wheelchair Jimmy”
let the hate flow through you.
New Wheelchair Jimmy Album ya’ll Aubrey is bringing that Canuck heat to ya’ll hahahaha
nothing but fire!
I mean…This Drake album sounds pretty hot to me. 4 Stars
10/10.
The skip button useless indeed.
His music could never fit in a Saw movie, whoever thought that should just slap themselves. Lmao
HHDX, you gave this shit more of a rating then Rick Rose BYTM album??? ?
Wtf!!!!!
I said the same fucking thing!
Well, it is a better album. So what would you want them to do?
Foh after listening to freesmoke n fake love i skipped every other song after a painfulpainful 45 secs of each song
11 outa 22 tracks are good. thats 50% so a 4plus rating GTFOH!!
TRY 3 STARS.. DRAKE STAYING STAGNANT…BORIIIINNGGGGGGGGGGGG
Get rid of all the london shit expect Skepta interlude + Sampha, and fucken get rid of GIGGS and all those mofo’s but keep that Kmt beat
Point blank period trash!
Okay there….
This site need to stop dickridin .. hiphopdx know damn well this album only had 2 good tracks .. Freesmoke and Fake Love … everything else trash .. 1/5 at best ..
THIS ALBUM IS THE WORST AFTER VIEWS
This album was complete trash ! If someone else would have released this other than Drake then I think people would feel the same way ! Drake has gotten lazy, and I am convinced he cannot rap! Fuck drake for this. People are actually making good music, and drake is just being a fuckin bum.
To much softer song, couple of good songs. I don’t understand why this is better than views (Wich I don’t like)
Ah yo Canada is gay as fuck son! Drake is the Celine Dion of hip hop!
This playlist was straight flames. It has all the feels n roller coasters up and down and then ends on that sick ass outro track. Drizzy did his dam thing, I can’t connect with anyone who says this was not good. Literally have no clue what you’re bickering about. But anyways, this is dam good, I’d agree with the 4.2/5 but giving a 5 to offset the retards who just hate only to hate. Sickest tracks to definitely hear: Free Smoke, No Long Talk, Passionfruit, Jorja Interlude, Gyalchester, Skepta Interlude, Portland, Sacrifices, Teenage Fever, KMT, Lose You, Can’t Have Everything, Ice Melts, Do Not Disturb.
I’m a huge Drake fan but I can’t stand Fake Love, straight up I think it sounds terrible but it is what it is. And yes, for all of those tracks I just named they will last years in my playlist so idk what ppl are talkin about.
Fuck outta here
Wack average at best
Ok here’s the real deal about this album. The pop songs, most of them are great. The rap songs ….the ones he actually raps on… I liked maybe a few, (Glow is the truth!)but most of them where no good. I believe it’s because of the flow (same flow over & over ) the flow he uses for most of the younger audiences. The one He has been using since the album with him & future. That mixed with the combation of no longer having good content on those songs, makes you want to skip the majorty of the rap songs. Album is better than Views. I’m not sure where I would rank it yet, but it is good work. 3.8/5
I actually thought “Glow” was the best song followed by “Free Smoke”!
Gold from an allstar
Great album, all the way through, not one bad track.
Drake is one of the all-time great musicians. Sonically, Drake provides his listeners with every part of who he is. Please dont’ judge this album by “hip hop” standards or you will be extremely disappointed. It is truly a playlist in that you can have a DJ play tracks 1 through 20 and leave at least one third of a room happy. That there is the epitome of Drake.
Wack, 2/5.
4/5
5/5 yall who rate it differently are hatersss and get off kennys stick
i like 9/22 songs drake just isnt the same anymore
This album was really a letdown for me. Most of the features were so bad in my opinion, and drake isn’t a singer, he’s a rapper. It should stay that way. Also, he just talks instead of raps. There’s no rhythm. I really disliked this album, and I respectfully disagree with people who did.
for real this is trash. a couple people mentioned in the comments what i was thinking the whole time i was listening to this – drake’s flow is whack. i find myself thinking, all this dude is doing when he “raps” is talking, like there’s no flow, gets boring really fast. that was the overwhelming feeling for me on this, just plain boring music.
Drake is just a pop act with a whole team of ghostwriters n producers putting his shit together i listened to his Views album and it was one the worst albums i have heard in at least the last 5 years he is just lame r’n’b with the odd 16 thrown in there.He for females n skinny jean emotional halfway out the closet weirdos
Ghostwriting ass piece of shit
How do you know what gays and bitches like? Are you a gay or bitch?
Still not a rapper, pop star.
Forgot to rate, also wtf this is a comp album not a “Playlist”
Wow so much hate here.
MORE LIFE WAS TRASHHHHHHH I EXPECTED MORE FROM HIM HONESTLY
This album puts the skip button to a lot of use
Good album. Like Drake or not, he’s been top 3-5 in the rap game for the past decade amongst many other great rappers (Kendrick, Wayne, Cole, Krit, Wale, Mac Miller, Logic, etc.) and based on that alone you can make the argument he’s the G.O.A.T. Name one other rapper in ANY decade who was DOMINANT for the ENTIRE decade?? Oh okay. “Pop star” that shit
Drake is not a rapper. Throw him over on some shitty pop site instead.
I know i am pretty late. This album is a beautiful mess of great quality international flavor.
Thanks again Drake! Don’t get tired of saying it.
Great piece of work ? eclectic and that’s what the ignorants can’t understand as well as the prejudicial hate for someone they don’t know made worse by the fact he’s successful 5/5
More Life, more everything
