    Pretty much only been playing Views since it dropped and I say I enjoyed IYRT more on 1st listen and still enjoy it more now. Views just hasn't grown on me outside of a few tracks. WRF and U with me are my favorite tracks. People had a hard on for the opening track but I still cant get into it. Grammys would be a great b-----r if Future didn't ruin it for me. Can't stand hotline bling. Gave it a week and it's just not for me.

    Now I know how a lot of people felt when TPAB dropped. I just don't really care for Views or see how people calling it a classic tbh.

    Definitely IYRT. Don't listen to it now at all other than the 2 joints with PND and Now & Forever. Haven't listened to Views in 2 days now.

    It's not a classic at all. Never will be.

    IYTITL on first listen was incredible, and slowly overtime (though I still love it and believe it has four of Drake's ten best songs) grew staler. Views is improving upon each listen, though neither top NWTS at all.

    I knew i'd be comin back to it after hearing the tracks. Literally every song instantly clicked with me. Cannot say the same for Views.

    Which 4 do you think are top 10? Legend, Energy, No Tellin, Star67, and Jungle would be my top 5.

    Went back to this tape the other day and the 2nd half is really underrated.

    Legend, No Tellin, Star67, and Jungle are the four in the top ten. I love Energy, Know Yourself, Ten Bands, etc, but they aren't top ten Drake, imo.

    Grammys is very underwhelming all things considered. You would think if Drake was going to grab Future he'd want to do a song like Diamonds Dancing or something like that. Instead, we got a WATTBA throw away.

    An album that consists of songs like Controlla and One Dance can't be Cole level boring.
