Drake, Views: Is it the best album of his career? Aubrey Graham, now commonly known to the world as “Drake”, recently solidified himself as one of the most popular artists in the game by dropping his fourth studio album Views in April. Although View’s was an instant hit in terms of commercial success, It left many people pondering if this is Drake’s best album to date. Many would disagree and say that Take Care still reigns supreme, deeming it a classic. But I and many others have the feeling that Views has took over the top spot because of it’s album sales, accolades, and the variety of music the album has to offer. To be frank, selling albums has never been a problem for Drake. Reaching the Milestone of a million sales on each of his LP’s. …show more content…

Drake’s has always found success in his album debuts. According to billboard.com, each of Drake’s albums has debuted at the number one spot making Views his fourth studio album in a row to do so. But none of his albums have stayed at the top as long as Views. Forbes wrote an article with the title “Drake’s Views Is Already One Of The Biggest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time” stating the reasons why it is deemed one of the best hip-hop albums only after a two month span. One of the main reasons for the high claim by Forbes is because of Views reign at the number one spot for 10 Weeks. It is not only a personal best for drake, but it’s a personal best in hip-hop Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers Album in 2000. Once Views hit the 10th week mark at the number one spot Drake joined some elite company. Making him the fourth artist since Whitney Houston in 1992 to have an album chart for ten weeks. Not only did this album receive major recognition on the billboard charts, but it broke multiple streaming records as well. According to the same Forbes article above, Views was played an unbelievable amount of 245 million times in its first 7 days. Compared to the previous record set by Beyoncé’s Album Lemonade with 115 million streams.

I read an interesting book that left me thinking of the way I shop and I don’t mean the way I shop at clothing stores I mean the way I shop for groceries, it also left me thinking of the food that I’ve been eating and even the food that I order when I go to fast food restaurants. This book is “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” it pictures the reality in the food business, but in a different funny way to understand it better. The book even makes you think of how important food is in life and it can also make you see a new way of looking at the food that’s on your plate. Pollan’s point, the author for this book tries to make us think and realize of what we’re doing with our food, how we get it, and even if we save money with our way of buying it.

Drake tends to associate himself with gang culture and morals from the selection of clothes, jewellery and actions shown by him; hoodies, sweatshirts, jeans, chains, alcohol and supposed youthful appearances. On the other hand, Drakes website presents a very plain white and professional background which accentuates him to be a mature and ‘grown-up’ artist. Drake’s use of synergy has been able to attract a wider range of demographics.
