Spitting bars about running through the 6 again and giving shout-outs to his ma, Drizzy raps in full swing over a hard core hip-hop beat. Viewsĭrake sounds dominant and focused in the rap-orientated, album title-track, Views. Although it’s in 13 th place, Feel No Way is cool and enjoyable to listen to. Despite the emotional lyrics, we’re feeling the crunchy 80s beats and tingling piano keys. In this one, Drake dry-cries about a girl who’s “talking down on his name”. Feel No Waysĭamn, these girls keep breaking Drake’s heart. Drake says he no longer speaks to Nicki, and this song’s made it pretty clear. If you thought Keep the Family Close was about Nicki Minaj wait until you hear these lyrics – “Look, you know I’m a writer, nothin’ left to hide / Your other nigga tired, Talk about you like you’ll never leave his side / But I don’t really buy it” Let’s not forget Nicki’s fiancé, Meek Mill once slammed Drake’s song-writing skills.
Fire & Desireĭrake’s smooth vocals reign over a perfect, slow-jam beat in Fire & Desire. It’s a somber way to kick off the album, but we’re not complaining. Could it be about Nicki Minaj? Whoever this girl is, she’s betrayed Drake and put him in a real vulnerable spot. Keep the Family Closeĭrake bears his soul and gets introspective about someone who’s let him down and erm, friendzoned him in Keep the Family Close. 9 has definitely got a spot on our playlists but it won’t get as many plays as its rival tracks. Drake pays homage to his hometown (“I turn the six upside down, it’s a nine now”) and claims he wants to do “major things” like “MJ in every way” in the eerie and dreary rap song. 9ĩ is certainly one you can chill and bob your head to. Compared to the upbeat, livelier hits on the album, we can’t help but snooze throughout this one. Still Hereĭrake raps about someone doing him wrong – “Oh, you just went and turned your back dog / I thought that we were family / You showed me that we can’t be” in Still Here which is dense with rhymes and heavy with hip-hop vibes. We appreciate Drake’s cheesy one-liners though – “Got so many chains they call me Chaining Tatum”. Not that it was a real banger before, but it was a whole lot better with Ye and Jay’s verses. No Kanye West? No Jay-Z? Pop Style has gone right down in our estimation. Sorry Drizzy, but Grammys just doesn’t quite do it for us. Grammys is listenable at first but it gets rather grating, especially Future’s hook.
FutureĪfter hearing Drake and Future’s hit mixtape What a Time to Be Alive, you’d think their next collaboration would be just as good. It’s just a little underwhelming, moody and well, Drake-less… 19. Summer’s Over isn’t bad Majid Jordan’s vocals are soothingly smooth and there’s a sexy vibe all over it. We were left with no choice but to class the interlude as our least favourite, simply because Drake is nowhere to be heard. Summer’s Over InterludeĪll 19 tracks on Views are pretty solid, it was tricky pointing out the “worst” one. Here’s a list of Views songs ranked from worst to first… 20. What’s worth keeping and what’s worth dropping? There are a handful of songs that fans can relate to, a selection that they can rave to and a few that they might skip through. Drake experiments with straight-up rap, emotional R&B and dancehall-inflected hits throughout his fourth studio-album, Views.
