Funny you say that because I was really surprised to hear you say that you weren't expecting much from the album yourself. I forget when this was. Maybe February? But I was like, wow... cause I always thought you were pretty big on Drake, and it really shocked me to hear you say this.
But yeah, I do like If You're Reading This... not so much that I listen to it often, but enough that when I first downloaded it I played the hell out of it, and did so again when I bought the cd. I really love several of the songs, but I didn't think it was going to be a new direction because -- frankly -- I think that album WAS views, and that he scrapped it and called it a "mixtape" to lower the stakes and give himself more time to get an identity. And he did have a good year in terms of popularity in 2015, but I just think it was kind of a fluke, and that Drake himself didn't even understand why it was good or what was good about it, and expected it to be a bit of a throwaway album like WATTBA.
Shrug.
