the poorly mixed skit/outro on Killa Cam that's like 10dB louder than the track is the worst of all time

That "NOW GET READY FOR THE DRAMA, BITCH" part? Yeah that was awful. Any of the ones with that crackhead dude talking were weak.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!


The big problem with a lot of skits is that there was a period of time where they got to be obligatory, rather than something actually a part of the album/adding to the experience.

Honestly the best skits were on the early Native Tongues/De La Soul/KMD type poo poo, and also J-Zone's albums.

Hilarious KILLA skit! Best part is "That's a duck...." lmfao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Wsy8jHPk4

This one of the only times I think a "skit" attached to a song actually didn't detract from the song, I know it's not technically a skit but more of an addon.

This is the other, I really like the buildup into the intro of the song

Save every one some time and post the review for Views

After weeks of rumours and speculation, Views From the 6 is finally here. Canadian powerhouse hip-hop star Drake dropped his long-awaited album on [WEDNESDAY], featuring some of the hottest names in the music industry, including [DELETE THE ONES THAT ARE NOT FEATURED] Nicki Minaj, Fetty Wap, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, The Weeknd.

The album's release comes after the "Hotline Bling" singer told a Miami crowd on New Year's Eve that Views From the 6 is coming "very soon." Views From the 6 is [DELETE ONE OF THESE ENDINGS TO THE SENTENCE BASED ON FACTS] streaming exclusively on Apple Music OR streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and can be purchased on iTunes.

The 29-year-old performer's latest album has [NUMBER OF TRACKS], beats from up-and-coming producer [NAME OF PRODUCER] from [NAME OF SUBURB], Ontario, and its lyrics [HYPER-LINK TO METRO LYRICS] continue the "Hotline Bling" storyline of an even more melodic Drake than fans were introduced to on 2015's If You're Reading This It's Too Late.

It's only a matter of time before Drake lights the internet on fire with [SONG MOST LIKELY TO TURN INTO A MEME]. He also keeps his hometown in the spotlight with Toronto-referencing lines like [LYRIC] and [LYRIC].

The album has already caused many celebrities to take to Twitter, Instagram and other social media websites to share their early opinion.

[EMBED MEDIA FROM: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook]

At least one artist, though, [DELETE ONE ENDING BASED ON REACTION FROM MEEK MILL] is not as impressed OR staying silent.

Drake is the first of many high-profile artists whose albums were rumoured to drop in 2015 who failed to release before the year's end.

Whether this keeps Drake's hot streak alive or not, one thing is for sure: 2016 going to be a big year for Drake and a big year for Toronto.

Man Finally Rich was so good.

I heard those songs so many times at bars and like every house party, and they were still good after all those plays.

Pity after that he fell off the face of the earth afterwards.

Edit: As a note it's hilarious that I can't even remember the non GOOD Music Remix of Don't Like

I really like his (40s) beats but I can't stand his delivery or voice. It's very flat and doesn't lock in to any momentum. He raps corny lines about being emotional but I can't feel any pain or vulnerability in his voice.

It was fascinating hearing Young Thug redo his song because Thugger puts immense feeling into his voice, even when he is singing nonsense. Particularly the bits of the song where he is directly referring Drake's flow.

I want to like drake because you guys seem to talk him up a lot and he shows up on every goddamn album, but I just can't get into him.

His verse on DS2 is awful.

Those are valid criticisms and he does get lazy on features sometimes (DS2 definitely was one of those). Eh to each their own but i usually end up liking his big pop hits as well as the rapping and beats in general. I like his flow... Subject matter and rhymes vary drastically but it usually sounds good

What is the song thug redid?
