Perhaps Views does live up to the hype as the unquestionable classic that is missing from Drake’s catalogue - then what? If Views is far and away Drake’s best record, why not let the music speak for itself? Promotion for big release is certainly expected, but the fact that Drake has spent so much more emphasis on this one album and has actually dismissed some of his other projects as lesser work undermines his releases to this point and what he will do in the future.Īll hip-hop legends have released albums in different stages of their career.
There’s no doubt that this promotion will show up on the sales charts: in the Internet age where the music megastar is succumbing to the power of endless selection within streaming services, we may never see another hip-hop release as big as Views - including another Drake release. Yet, Views is getting considerably more publicity than any of his previous genre-transcendent records. His mixtape with Future, What a Time to Be Alive, was announced a day before it was available for download.Įach one of his projects sold well by any standard and found a way to dominate radio as Drake always does. Nothing Was the Same was announced just over three months prior to its release, while IYRTITL was released to the e-streets unannounced.
If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late was not “by the standard I hold myself and 40 to,” he told Fader.īy comparison, Take Care, considered by many to be Drake’s most complete work, was promoted and released within a seven-month span. (And hopefully our eyes, if the "Hotline Bling" video is any indication of what he has in store for us.) Excuse me while I go have a lie down now to process all the amazing events that have (allegedly) taken place today.#VIEWS snaps ➡️ geniusdotcom on Snapchat ? /TCj1YlxFIrĭrizzy has released two projects since announcing Views, both of which he has said were not the project everyone has been waiting for. It makes no sense, but, if that is what's happening, on the bright side, this means even more new Drake music for our ears. Should that be our indicator that this list isn't real? I mean, why would Drake waste time putting so many singles that don't even make it onto the album that we've all been waiting on, or onto the mixtapes he's released in the interim? Based on the alleged track list, it appears that none of the Drake songs which previously leaked are included. Other collaborators listed include Rick Ross, Future, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and Popcaan - which is an impressive collection of artists if the list turns out to be legit. But what have we learned from the alleged track list?Īccording to this yet to be verified track list, Beyoncé features on not one, but two whole tracks. were released feels a bit like that time I drank way too much Cherry Coke in the space of an hour. All of this happening happening on the same day that Purpose and Made In The A.M.
It's basically raining Drake news at this point, and I'm screaming even if all of that news turns out to be fake in the end. So much talk of the album has only gotten me more excited, even if nothing that's happening is confirmed by Drake or his people yet. If anything, this alleged track list leak only fuels the excitement of Beliebers today of all days ( Purpose is real, y'all!), as track 9 on Views From The 6 apparently features Justin Bieber himself, on a song called "Smeared." However, Bustle reached out to Drake's representatives, who said that they can't confirm information about the album at this time.įriday also saw a tweet hint at the release date of Views From The 6, suggesting the album will be out on January 6 2016. Following the Internet-mania that the "Hotline Bling" video caused, inspiring a million parodies and spoofs, anticipation for the album has only grown, with fans excited to find out who Drake's worked with on his newest record. As if there wasn't already enough excitement on Friday, with both Justin Bieber and One Direction dropping their albums on the same date, now it looks like the track list for Views From The 6, Drake's forthcoming album, might have been leaked.
