Are the non singles on on tpab doing better than the non single rap songs on views
or are you trying to get points for the singles on tpab getting more burn than non singles on views?

Songs don't have to be singles to get burn.

When Views came out I was hearing Pop Style and 9 on the radio as well...they just didn't catch on

On the contrary, IYTTITL had several songs that got played in clubs at parties and on radio that weren't singles. For ex. Know Yourself, 10 Bands and Used To.

Views came and went in Rap and Hip hop.

views is not a rap/hiphop album. its a pop album

We're still talking about those non singles on TPAB a year later.

Views, unfortunately, just came and went aside from the R&B singles

14 songs that ppl listened to and forgot about. None of those 14 songs had any impact. None of them were as well received as For Free, Energy, 0-100, Worst Behavior, etc

None of them are being talked about. He even dropped a video that was not well received as well. Dude flopped hard on the Rap/Hip Hop with this album...

Lol. You're trying very hard to make it seem like Views didn't come and go in Rap but can't name one song that resonated.

Maybe he'll have better luck on his next album, or maybe he'll abandon the genre all together

Either way this Kendrick shyt going down as a classic work of art in the genre

I blew holes in your weak theories and had fun doing it.
Drake will continue to own kdot in every way possible.
He's never gonna catch up.

It's still funny how Views came and went in Rap/Hip hop yet TPAB is a modern classic.

Even the song Summer 16 resonated more in the genre than the Rap songs on Views.

Drake is the biggest performer in the genre. He dwarfs everyone.

Which makes it even more embarrassing that none of the Rap songs were even on the level of Summer 16.

He tried too...Leaked Popstyle with The Throne, performed 9 on all the live shows, did a movie for Child's Play and nothing...

Yeah...and a year later we're (not you and I, but others) are still discussing the tracks on TPAB and none is the songs on Views are even thought about besides the R&B singles.

Lol. You still can't name rap/hip hop song on Views that caught on in the community or is critically acclaimed

It came and went

this album is a perfect example of how to mesh lyricism with great listenable music.

a lot of guys can rap but they can't make good music, and a lot of guys can make good music but can't rap.
