The '6 God' Releases the Album We All Been Waiting For

As we all know, Drake dropped his fourth album, ‘Views’ on Friday. He broadcasted a 45-minute long interview and his new album before it came out on his ‘Ovosound radio’. Drake is my second favorite rapper (aside from J.Cole) and I have admired Drake for his talent since the Degrassi days. Drake’s new Views album is set for a spectacular debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest the hip-hop star’s latest effort could sell more than 800,000 copies in the U.S. in the week ending May 5. These numbers are really extraordinary for all the mixed reviews on social media. It was hyped throughout April with little hints here and there from Drake. I think the reason for these record sales was the publicity Drake and his team were giving away. It was anticipation for everyone.

A lot of people I’ve talked to had mixed feelings about the album. Some people thought it was good, some thought it was amazing, and some just hated it. The album was overall okay. The beats and lyrics were pretty good but some songs didn’t catch my interest. It felt like Drake was trying new things out and experimenting with different sounds and styles of music. This album reminds me of past albums and mix-tapes like ‘Thank Me Later, ‘So Far Gone’ and ‘Take Care’. But this latest album doesn't compare to those albums. On the ‘Views’, Drake talked about his past exes and dissing other artists. Just recently, he collaborated with Future on ‘What a Time to be Alive’ and his prior album, ‘If You're Reading This It’s Too Late’, showed the bad boy from Toronto side of Drake. People thought that his recent one would be like his last two albums he released; more rapping and less singing. Crucially, it’s not the acidic Drake that’s taken center stage in the last year and a half, on the mixtape “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” and his collaborative album with Future, ‘What a Time to be Alive’. Those releases showed Drake at his most indignant, a left-field turn from the emotionally lavish music he’d built his reputation on. One of his songs,‘Popstyle’ featured Jay-Z and Kanye West. When I listened to the song on the album, they weren’t on it. Come to find out, Drake took them off because “people would be disappointed for Jay-Z having one line”. There must be some tension going on between Jay-Z and Drake. It was hinted in his album that a lyric or two was about Jay-Z.

This album isn’t what I expected. I like a few songs but some of them weren’t enjoyable. Overall, the album was good. I would recommend this album if you are thinking of your ex or fighting with them.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
