    1. Keep the Family Close
    2. Feel No Ways
    3. Hype
    4. Weston Road Flows
    5. With You
    6. Still Here
    7. Controlla
    8. One Dance
    9. Pop Style (OG)
    10. Too Good
    11. Summers Over Interlude
    12. Fire & Desire
    13. Views

    I like Grammys but I feel like it doesn't really fit. Would probably rearrange the tracklist a little bit as well.

    Did Drake really think this album needed 20 songs?

    Post your tracklist if you think it needs cutting (which you should) @DrakeSXN

    You should use the Woes SXN tag group instead

    I think my current list would be:

    1. Keep The Family Close
    2. U With Me?
    3. Feel No Ways
    4. Weston Road Flows
    5. Faithful
    6. With You
    7. Controlla
    8. One Dance
    9. Too Good
    10. Summers Over Interlude
    11. Views

    I know I'm leaving tons of good cuts but I wanted it to feel compact and cohesive

    From my edit thread

    Here is my Views Tracklist:

    1. Keep The Family Close
    2. 9
    3. U With Me?
    4. Feel No Ways
    5. Hype
    6. Weston Road Flows
    7. Redemption
    8. Too Good (Ft. Rihanna)
    9. Faithful (Ft. p---- C & DVSN)
    10. Still Here / Grammys
    11. Controlla
    12. One Dance [Extended] (Ft. Wizkid & Kyla)
    13. Hotline Bling
    14. Childs Play
    15. Pop Style [Extended] (Ft. Jay-Z & Kanye West)
    16. Fire & Desire
    17. Summer Sixteen / Summers Over
    18. Views


    Track Edits:
    1. Still Here / Grammys:
    Future is my dude, but i didn't like him on Grammys. In my edit, it only contains drake's verse, when drakes verse ends, it cuts to dude saying ''MFers drunk & tired'', so it sounds like it was supposed to be a part of the album.

    02. One Dance:
    I extended the hook/outro so the song is nearly a minute longer, its a great track, its such a pity its so short.

    03. Pop Style: I combined both versions of the tracks to make it a nearly 5 minute b-----r.

    04. Summer Sixteen / Summers Over:
    I thought he would of included the track on the album, i added it anyway, but i added Summers over because it such a weird combination, but i think it works so well because it sounds like something kanye would of done.


    Tracklisting Edits:
    As you can see i altered the tracklist a bit, i think moving some of the tracks (such as the rihanna track) makes them feel more a part of the album rather than having a ''bonus track'' vibe''.

    I have removed the call sound from the beginning of U Wit Me, & added it to the end of 9.


    Other Edits:
    I haven't included this on my version of the album, but i made it & i think it turned out well:
    - Hotline Bling / With You: i know Hotline Bling was only added to the album due to its popularity, but i still really enjoy it, so to make it feel like a part of the album, i wanted to add something to it, so i took the With You track, sped it up slightly to fit the tempo of Hotline Bling & I blended them together (i blended the metronome sample from hotline bling into the beginning of With You & near the end, i think it sounds pretty cool)​

    Since you've talking about Grammys in the OP: That was my least favorite track on first listen, but it has been slowly growing on me. Turned out to be enjoyable with the right mood.

    I'm creating a playlist with your own tracklist right now @BigCountry, the middle part of the album looks less bloated that way.

    Keep The Family Close and then suddenly Feel No Ways though... Does that really work you? That sounds like too much of a change of emotion.

    I'm not too big of a fan of 9, but works pretty well as a bridge when the intro and U With Me/Feel No Ways.

    I haven't listened to it yet actually, but that's the main problem I had looking at it was I feel like Keep the Family Close to Feel No Ways would be a weird transition.

    The OG version was meant to flow in a specific way so that's why it sounds weird when putting tracks apart (unlike, for example, NWTS)


    You can edit the transitions and try to find the right flow for the playlists

    I don't mind it, but the goal was to make it an album of songs I'd always want to listen to when I listen to the album, and I find myself skipping 9 and U With Me almost every single time.

    I feel like we should have two separate tags for each artist: [Artist]News (for album leaks, major album/tour news, singles, reviews from major outlets, features, etc) and [Artist]Discussion if you want to be tagged in threads like this or user review threads.

    1. Keep The Family Close
    [ 2. 9 ]
    3. U With Me?
    4. Feel No Ways
    5. Weston Road Flows
    6. With You
    7. Faithful
    8. Controlla
    9. One Dance
    10. Childs Play
    11. Too Good
    12. Summer's Over Interlude
    13. Views

    This is what I'll listen to tomorrow, this feels way less bloated with lots of good vibes-tracks. These are almost exclusively my tracks from the album, but it might not be as cohesive as the real deal.

    Viewing the album like this makes me confident though that lots of tracks will sounds as good/even better in the summer. There's no doubt that Drake the summer part of the album.
