Drake’s hotly awaited new album Views—described as his “tour through the city that made him”—features the artist sitting in a thoughtful pose on a high edge of Toronto’s iconic CN Tower.
Ironically enough, he doesn’t appear to be taking huge pleasure in the view.
The album has been receiving extremely positive early reviews but another very measurable yardstick of pop culture success these days comes in parodies of your album artwork.
By that count, Views is set for legendary status.
Here’s the original:

Some fans have seen Drake’s release as a battle against Beyoncé. Guess who’s winning.
