For those who knew me on JCN, I worked extensively to make my Tupac website & its social media pages the biggest 'Pac pages on the internet. Not for game, but to create a platform for all Tupac fans to share news & discussions about their favourite rapper all under one roof.

I did it out of my spare time. But for the love of the artist & for his mother who raised & socialised him to be the man he was when he died. My website was widely acknowledged by Tupac's friends & family. From the ages of 16-20, I helped build & grow his beautiful legacy & made his mother proud.

Buckets out here lookin at reviews for VIEWS yet disregards every review for Cole projects.

 

May 3, 2016

I just saw it on my timeline cause i follow 2dopeboyz. I wasnt looking for no reviews.

n----- just admit drake does the same s--- over and over. Views is bascially take care 2. Whining about the same s--- on every d--- track. n----- need to get some better writers

As much as like views, I have to admit, it is the same material. Except for the controlla, one dance & too good tracks (which all sound the same). Dude has had major heartbreaks in his life. Views should be called heartbroken drake.

On this day 5 years ago a 22 y/o guard from Englewood was named MVP

if you gon rap and sing about the same s--- at least get some different beats. all that s--- sound like take care nwts. other than controlla and one dance, and few others.

 

May 3, 2016

I would say some definitely sound similar but saying the entire project is the same as NWTS/TC is way too broad a generalization.

 

May 3, 2016

compare drake s--- to kendrick or cole for example.

nothing from tpab sound like it can go on GKMC

nothing from cole world sound like born sinner, born sinner sounds nothing like FHD.

All drake s--- sound alike. you could easily put redemption on take care and it would blend right in.. put weston road flows on NWTS etc.

and im not even saying the album is bad, i bump the album, but what im saying is true lol

 

May 3, 2016

I really enjoy this album but there's not much difference tbh. I feel like it even lacks a stronger feel or message than NWTS or TC. I don't think he had to go in a completely different direction sonically (the dancehall switchup is nice), but content wise its the same stuff but lacking the overall takeaway of the last projects. Even IYRTITL had more of a message to me.

Cole is the biggest slacker when it comes to enforcing his presence in the rap scene. His competition has been dropping s--- since 2015 and he's just been mia.

I mean you could play that game with every artist. He's not going into new territory but I don't think that takes away from how good the album is.

Kenny wishes TPAB sounded like GKMC lol. Cole was one of the most stagnant rappers in the game until FHD. I could mix up half or Born Sinner & CW and you would hardly be able to tell the difference. Sure the message of each is unique but he sounds basically the same on everything save for most of FHD.

Idk I really enjoyed IYRT but I really don't know the 'message' of that tape.

I do agree he needs to push the boundaries on his sound. IYRT seemed like a step in the right direction but he reverted back to his old formula with Views. Again, I don't think it's a bad thing but if you're looking for something new from Drake you're not gonna get that from Views.

Just peeped Jeremih on With U

With IYRTITL by message I mean the attitude change, and shift. It was the complete embodiment of "I'm that n----- in the game." Even though its a mixtape its a clear statement with that project. With Take Care its kinda he misses past relationships and looking for something more in the past and not as satisfied with his current love life (classic simp Drizzy). NWTS he's still reflective but with more optimism rather than being somber. He's content in the present.

With VIEWS I just don't know. There's no clear statement to me. I think it might be an attempt to combine all of the three I mentioned but its just doesn't work for me. It's still dope music, just tough considering he went for a cool weather theme and the title indicated its supposed to be really about his hometown. Dope album, but some missed opportunities to take it to the next level.

NOTHING from Cole world sounds like born sinner bruh. He not even rapping bout the same s---. And the production definitely doesn't sound the same

 

May 3, 2016

Honestly think they're mostly "made up heartbreaks" that he passes off as real

 

May 3, 2016

Tell your roc nation homie to find out when Cole dropping lol

 

May 3, 2016

Off the top Mr. Nice Watch, or any of the singles could've fit. You could actually interchange most of his singles and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

This is what I was expecting on Views. Not mad that he went mostly simp because I love the record but I was expecting him to really stake his claim. In that sense yes it's definitely a missed opportunity.

 

May 3, 2016

Although they're not very good. Born sinner and sideline story sound nothing alike. BS is a very dark and somber album, unlike ST. He also raps very differently in them.

I would hope not. This would make me lose a lot of respect for drizzy. 53% of your catalog made up of false r&b fables. He might as well be ne-yo or some s---.
