He tried his best to f*** it up, that's for sure.

He even cancelled the physicals after the album release. He wanted it to FLOP hard

album dropping at 3am

Even that weird teaser on espn

Didn't add LNCL/any of the SH2 songs to it. Pushed one of the worst songs on the album as the lead single. Chose the most cringe-worthy album cover. He did all he could to make the album fail but fans said no.

That TERRIBLE video for Knife Talk, weeks after the song had lost momentum

He thought we wouldn’t stream the f*** out of it after waiting for almost 2 years

Yea it’s horrible imo

Nah that was sick tho

The success of this album was definitely in spite of Drake, not because of him. Fans supported the hell out of this album regardless of every shenanigan he pulled.

CLB is this eras Views for me. It’s growing more and more on me every year and it is slowly creeping up my all time Drake album list. I probably have it 6th or 7th right now. Such a huge album for this decade and a dope era for Drake.

I agree with pretty much what all yall have said. He should’ve kept the original Love All, no Travis feat was needed and why he decided to put that long ass intro on TSU 🤦🏾‍♂️

My top 5 right now:
Pipe Down
N 2 Deep
Champagne Poetry
7 AM on Bridle Path
F***ing Fans/The Remorse

Yeah that spooky ass s*** was fire tbh

I honestly think he was gearing up to really drop another classic with the OG but too many things got in the way. I think if you took the best cuts from DLDT, the leaks, and CLB you’d have something truly special

Listened the hell out of this project mainly because we waited forever for it. I think a few feats could’ve been cut.

Fair Trade, Love All, GWG didn’t need any feats and would’ve gotten their spins/even more.

Why?

Fair Trade is still my favorite

Instrumental for the trailer still gives me goosebumps

1. Creative decision
2, big features, annoying song but was thought of as a potential hit
3. One of the most recognisable album covers

He even kept that heart in his hair for the entire duration. He ain’t want it to flop

Idk I feel like he was over it by the the time the album got released. Especially with how quick he started to work on honestly nevermind afterwards

Pipe Down
Fair Trade
Knife Talk
Champagne Poetry
N 2 Deep

The only ones getting plays from me

lol undeniable classic

I cut it down to this in a playlist;

1. Champagne Poetry w/ drums
2. Love All solo
3. Fair Trade solo
4. TSU w/ Nsync Sailing intro
5. N 2 Deep
6. Pipe Down
7. Yebba's Heartbreak
8. No Friends In The Industry
9. 7am On Bridle Path
10. Race My Mind
11. Fountains solo
12. Get Along Better
13. F***ing Fans
14. Against The Wind (The Remorse og)

and honestly, it gets it close to Take Care/NWTS/IYRTITL level. Some of the decisions they made on this album were baffling. Especially the features, they really bring the released version down.
