But it did, and on it Drake used new flows for the first time, crafted memorable hooks, and successfully found a way to marry his "poor me" navel-gazing half with his anthem- master half. You can hear his enthusiasm in his vocal delivery on "If You're Reading This..."; it sounds like he even knows it's fresh and good.
"Views" is a step back. Sonically this is 40's least inspired work. Lyrically, it's Drake's laziest. These songs sound like retreads from the "Take Care" era, like the shit you'd expect to hear on the Target-exclusive disc for that album. And I think the biggest shame is not only that these songs sound like lesser versions of songs we first heard 5 years ago, but that he also led us to believe he was going somewhere else the last time we heard from him. You are correct in saying that he's earned the right to take a victory lap, but that's just lazy on his part.
