I gotta wake up in the morning and work. F*** JPMorgan chase I'm sleeping into 1100 they can't fire my ass anyway

Second half of N 2 Deep sounds like a Travis song HARDDDD

Oh you like the boy well tell me what you like about him

Nigga what? Why?

Reception hella lukewarm here

Yeah sample hella annoying

It's release night in Drake sxn so yeah

nigga, WHAT?! Honestly one of my favs since OMDB

12 out of 21 slap

the rest cool

8/10

cudi on the album??? wtff

People find it so easy to rack up quick “good boy” points on Twitter I can’t deal with that s*** R Kelly is a POS but I still listen to his music religiously it’s not that deep

Champagne Poetry is a diet Tuscan Leather man

“ gang s*** that’s all I’m on “ from the man yelling on clubhouse ?

Sounds like he’s tired lol like he’s just making music just to make it

No friends in the industry is the only one that’s sounded inspired to me so far

Knife talk had potential but not hitting as hard as it should rn

Papi’s Home really really reminds me on CORSO

"I'll play it cool with you, then mark a nigga like Copenhagen
See, they gettin' loose with the line like open cages"

"I was down to give these niggas credit, but hold the payment
Somehow I'm the greatest in the game, to my own amazement
The greatest in the world, there's no debatin'
You boys 'bout to wheel me to defeat like we rollerbladin'
Far as the Drake era, man, we in the golden ages
Look at the total wages
And look at the heroes fallin' from grace in their older ages
If we talkin' top three, then you been slidin' to third like stolen bases"

Lmao damn fr

Initial thoughts:

Some solid tunes but not two year delay solid

Production on the intro is fire

Jay doesn't really do much for lotta 42, wish they kept tha switch up instead

I think listening to those leaks ruined my perception lotta 42, intoxicated, not around etc. Regretting that decision

Why tf is future on two songs

The songs where its just him rapping are the best but they are kinda boring

pretty underwhelmed

Bunch of cool songs that I'm sure I will enjoy more overtime

Off the first listen I don't really get the Certified Lover Boy concept

Did he just pick that title because it sounds cool?

Happy that he spent more time experimenting with the production , transitions, etc but some of the ideas that I'm sure he intended to be impressive kinda fall flat or end up being dead ends that lead nowhere

Gotta dissect the verses but none of them blew me away on the first pass like LPF, BBKF, OYF, etc

Don't know if he sounds exhausted with the burden of being on top or if I'm just exhausted listening to this s*** at 3am

looking at the Preggo Emojis got me queezy and are definitely not helping me enjoy this album more. Can't believe his is going to be the cover. FOREVER. Smfh

Donda was disappointing for me and I thought CLB would easily top it but honestly this feels just as disappointing if not more so because Drake is still in his prime while Ye is in his 40's and he's kinda supposed to be washed by this point

Been literally anticipating this for two years, f***

Overall this seemed really unfocused and super long, wonder what happened to him wanting to do something more concise

Fully expect the critics to drag this

CMIYGL, KDII, HWH8, and even The Off Season all were better off the first listen for me.

OP Need to chill with the AOTY talk in the thread title. CMIYGL still my aoty f*** what yall stans talking bout

Good night folks

They had the defense ready lolz

final cut sounds so much more eerie... crazy 🔥

idk
there’s some dope s*** so far but idk if I’m really that sold on it
it’s fun though
still got like half the album left
