so is his career finished?
>>64549199
He is in his prime.. right now he can end or create careers. He is almost at the Kanye status. The entire hiphop industry are sucking OVO dry.
>>64549199
Yup. Fucking called it, too.
he sold 600,000 albums day one he gon be alright my niggah jus chill my niggah sccccrrrrr brrrouw
>>64549244
i said a few years back that views from the 6 would flop if it was a hip hop album. i was laughed off the board but now look who's laughing
>>64549199
Platinum in one day and he's finished ? Wtf are you on.
>>64549199
he's finshed
One meh album doesnt ruin a career especially if youre as big as drake, if his next one sucks than maybe
>>64549251
>>64549285
it will peak at around 600k copies once everyone hears it and realizes it sucks
>>64549199
Kanye would only have to make one diss track and drizzy will turn into iggy. I hope we never have to hear such power.
>>64549303
lol
>>64549299
Still wouldn't be a failure (and you're wrong, too).
>>64549285
>sales
Just like how everybody buys mcdonalds everyday Jeez I guess they're the best food on the planet
kys hypebeasts
>>64549268
I just knew that everyone was gonna be sick of Drake after this album.
>>64549199
do you think his normie fanbase cares about the quality of his music?
>>64549403
Is mcdonald's going to go bankrupt anytime soon ?

don't let your anal bleach get on his t shirt anon
>>64549268
i'm still laughing at you
you sound like a pathetic human being
he should have rushed to release it before tlop, then none of this would have happened
his arrogance was his downfall
how do you announce an album 3 years before it comes out put a single a year before it comes out and still have quality control issues
>>64550065
yeah thats why I said too. should have collapsed on hotblings success instead he wasted it
this aint a summer album
Nope, not until current middle schoolers graduate high school, or university at the most.
>>64549403
How else do you measure success? Let me guess, you're a poorfag who relies on "muh potential" to keep yourself from killing yourself
>>64550318

how is high school?

pic related is what happens to dumbcunts like yourself

Internet tough guys on fucking /lit/ make me laugh
>>64550485
Sir this is /mu/, you really do have a learning disability
Drake is for women and men under the age of 24...and niggers too I guess. I'm 27 and every male friend of mine has no idea why people enjoy Drake. Hotline bling was catchy, but his songs mostly consist of him whining about his ex or some gay shit. That and I have to endure seeing ESPN try to cater to their younger audiences by pointing out he's at a raptors game. Oh wow, a celebrity at an NBA game?!
Drake's album was at least better than The Life Of Pablo.
That shit was horrible and the best song off that album wasn't even his....
>>64550431
haha fuck that headline
>>64550607
>I'm 27 and every male friend of mine has no idea why people enjoy Drake.
wild guess here but every male friend of yours probably has some dork ass rhythm
kind of dudes to just "chill on the side" of the dance floor right?
>>64549303
Kanye would have no clue and be so out of touch trying to make it, that he would go into 53 million dollars worth of debt and lose it when he realized how horrible it was.
>>64549268
It didn't flop. It outsold Beyonce's by 200k.
>>64550682
How's Bizarro World treating you dumb ass
Dude had the best of year career last year: IYRTITL proved he could go as a rapper, he ended Meek Mill's career with B2B, then he had the song of the summer with Hotline Bling.
Then he followed it up with this corny shit. The hell was he thinking?
>>64549285
counting streams lol plus double album so double the sales
>>64549241
Drake can drop as many bad albums as he wants and as long as it has one or two "good" singles he'll be in the general public's good graces, even if there's a lot of jokes about how he's a whiney bitch. Kanye has fucked the general pop's opinion on him.
>>64550723
wild guess here but you are a drake dick rider who can't comprehend that people from all walks of life don't like him
>>64551929
Better than being a sheep that swallows garbage.
How's the Tidal membership and after you forgot to cancel the free trial?
>>64549268
views isn't a hip hop album tho
>>64549403
No but his career isn't over if the album sells well.
>>64549199
No. The opposite.
>>64549199
Crashing his career?
>>64549241
wow, just realized Views is his 808s & Heartbreak and like 5 years from now people will suck this albums dick and claim to have liked it all along.
>>64553612
Truth.
But they'll do it in less than 3 months
Pitchfork can break the careers of bands they make, little people like Frankie Cosmos or Real Estate.
But Drake became popular completely independently of Pitchfork, and was only later on "picked up" by them. And though they may have turned a good number of hipsters onto him, that demographic is negligible alongside fans of pop music as a whole.
And if anything p4k has probably benefited more (via site traffic) from the Drake train than he has from them.
>>64553612
808s dealt with a specific, personal sadness.
Views deals with whining about girls, for the entire 20 tracks.
>>64554342
I see literally no distinction here. Try again, seriously.
>>64554302
Pitchfork is for fuckboys.
If you want real shit for music you go to Noisey, Hypebeast, Complex, Fader, ect...
>>64554342
Ya I'm sure Kanye had some real personal sadness with his glitter paper hearts and fake hipster glasses.
Not corny at all
>>64550723
so like drake then?
>>64553612
>>64554158
views is nothing like 808s. try using ur brains for a half a second
>>64552415
nice diss bro
>>64553612
I got a head start because I think it's better than Take Care

>>64554868
His fiance cheated on him?
>>64554487
see
>>64554868
Glad to see you have no insight to anything your talking about.
Typical Drake dickrider.
>>64554868
well I'm glad all that autotune got him through that part of his life
>>64554487
>Noisey, Hypebeast, Complex, Fader
spot the dumb nigger
>>64555426
>Oh amber rose cheated on him. Who saw that coming?
>Mom dies during Lipo in a superficial way
Ya I knew all that. I'm sorry you guys were born when all that shit happened. You were probably too young to remember, but Kanye expressed himself musically to everyone by talking about alien probes on cheesy manufactured top 40 songs to give everyone real meaning to what he was going through
lmao, shit's gonna sell a million copies, he's fine
Drake ain't making music for us picky nerds. He could whine about any cliche suburban heartbreak shit and mainstream music fans will eat it up. If anything his career is going better than it ever has.
>imagine thinking views is anywhere near the quality of anything in kanye's discography
>>64554487
>uniroically using the term fuckboys
>also spelling it wrong

>>64555815
lol I don't even give af about drake, but you can't deny that he's killing it in his lane
he's like the apple computers of rap music
>>64555904
go back to ktt
>>64555632
>Thinks Amber Rose was the fiance from 2007
It was Alexis Phifer you retard. You're just embarrassing yourself here with how little you know about everything.
>>64550318
Critical reception is the only way you can measure music success. If two artists have same acclaim then the sales come in play.
Overall music shouldn't be numbered and defined, you listen if you enjoy if not don't listen.
>>64549199
If your entire career is supported by major corporations, you will never reach the same popularity without them. They were only popular because they are played on the radio and tv. Never because of their music.
>>64550682
>Drake's album was at least better than The Life Of Pablo.
said no one with a brain
>>64555933
>more than one fiance
I'm sure that really fueled his real personal sadness
Views is his 808s. His next one's gonna be his MBDTF.
>>64556153
808s was a game changer
this was a snoozefest
>>64551644
Drake:
>hyping his album for 2 years through billboards and ads
>guest appereances on shows
> even in his verses on features
> nba commecrials
> lead single of from album is released a year before the album itself
> avaliable on every music listening service
Beyonce:
> one night in complete silence she decides to drop an album on her husbands limited platform, which accounts for 20% of the market that Drake got access to
In my opinion 200k isn't enough to compensate for that.
>>64556216
Nobody liked 808s when it came out.
>>64556010
haha, Kanye can't be sad even if a period in his life was shit :DD Even if you hate 808s, the pain there is definitely real. Views is literally "Entitled rich douchebags yells at cloud for 80 minutes (+ Hotline Bling)"
>>64556314
Kanye set benchmark for a new genre, Drake just released a bad album.
808s was hated because it was unfamiliar, it was the sound that wasn't heard before.
VIEWS is just piss poor shit, nothing new, nothing revolutionary, just bland elevator music. Essentialy a bland pop album.
I don't think Drake even writes his own music
Who produced "Work" with Rihanna? How much do you think that Drake was involved with that song?
That song is a 10/10
>>64556406
Drake talks more about his life and personal struggles in his entire discography then Kanye has mentioned in a verse.
Drake's music will always be more genuine than Kanye's
>>64556489
You think Kanye West and Jay-Z do either?
They were dead quiet when that ghostwriting thing happened.
Travis Scott writes for Kanye now
LMAO DRAKE GOT BTFO BY DEAN BLUNT
>>64556513
Partnextdoor & Drake co-wrote it together.
Rihanna didn't
>>64556531
You do realize that Kanye (especially 808s) was hugely influential on Drake right?
>>64550431
Justice exists in the world.
>>64556592
thx
>>64556531
his life and personal struggle is a joke. He's such a hypocrite with the depth of a narcisstic 14 year-old. He's a rich playboy with the mindset of Elliot Rodgers. Views is a corny mess lyrically and bland, safe and boring musically.
>>64549199
Normies don't give a fuck about scores from P4K or Fagtano.
>>64556600
So Far Gone was made before 808s, but released after, so no.
>>64556451
THIS
>>64556728
Also cringey!
>>64556771
Listen to Take Care
>>64556728
personal struggles can between people than wealth.
kanye's personal struggle raps are about his fashion not selling
In case you didn't see the thread:
Kanye West has more creative fashion sense/teenage angst than a 14 year old that's discovered eyeliner and Hot Topic for the 1st time...
>>64556972
Cringeeeeee if i was a bouncer that shit's not getting in the club Ye or not lol
>>64550682
Except this isnt true.
>>64556513
>>64556592
>>64556631
you can listen to their version for Rihanna.
it's actually 10x better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b37bJYQLe9w
>>64549199
I think it would've been better if it would have been "heavier", his more banger songs have done better, and there aren't many of those on Views
>>64555991
>>64557095
The Internet is besides anyone who's on Fantano and Pitchfork Bandwagon.
even DJ Quik says the truth

>struggle bars
>>64549199
Not gonna lie Views is kind of a grower.
It was average when I first heard it but I quite like it now.
The good tracks are really really good in my opinion desu.
>>64557426
old ass nigga needs to sit down
Life of Pablo is a mediocre album. Views is a bad album.
Views seems like a trashy and way to long nothing was the same. It was a pain just to listen to the whole thing, coming from a drake fan. I lost the interest about him, one more trash project and his done (for me).
>>64549241
>The entire hiphop industry are sucking OVO dry.
There's nothing there to begin with because drake signs dudes and then they're never promoted
>>64556451
It wasn't that bad. It just wasn't IYRTITL
>>64557885
I hope to god he promotes dvsn.
I fucking love whoever that vocalist is. His voice is fucking beautiful.
Hope he reaches out there with a variety of producers and writers and makes an R&B classic desu.
I don't dislike Views. It's got some pretty great songs. The filler people are talking about, it's definitely there, but not in any particular jarring abundance. It could've been better, and I wish it was shorter. But I like it better than Pablo. I enjoyed listening to Pablo, but it was released in a terrible state.
Are we going to act like Pablo wasn't literally patched? Patched. Like it was a fucking video game.
>>64558060
>Are we going to act like Pablo wasn't literally patched? Patched. Like it was a fucking video game.
Yeah? Digital distribution is the future of music, and Kanye has accepted that before anyone else. Are you going to say that's not how music is supposed to work?
