Ye don't give a f*** about being top of the rap game or at least won't ever be with all the antics and making gospel albums, drake just dropped the ball. Kendrick really can take the throne imo
Drake’s reputation is being the hitmaker that can deliver super catchy hooks, witty punchlines, memorable flows, and instant quotables.
On CLB he gave us no hits, barely any good hooks, boring / repetitive flows, and virtually no good punchlines and quotables.
So it’s like what is the saving grace of this album?
you also forgot to mention the album cover is super ass
Yup I’ve cried to Jesus Lord and Come to Life a few times to keep it real
Powerful stuff
I saw one black woman cry her eyes out listening/reacting to Jesus Lord, powerful stuff indeed.
Coming from a Drake fan who's been listening to him since "Comeback Season". This CLB album is high mid at best. When I heard "Scorpion" on the night of its release I knew "In My feelings" was a hit off first listen, I knew "Nonstop" was a hit off first listen. Nothing on this album screams hit to me except "TSU" maybe... Drake sounds like hes bored to me on this album.
I got worried about CLB when Drake kept delaying it for various reasons and then didn't put out any singles. People think I'm a Drake hater but his singles are always a moment.
Donda got delayed a hundred times as well but you got the sense that the album was the only thing Kanye cared about that last month.
Imagine if Drake made a song that was actually genuine and not part of the formula that has become his fake ass persona where people nobody knows are trying to get him, he namedrops women that don't exist, and complain about fake friends.
My guy, give us something real. You used the same f***ing formula on Scorpion already.
Stupid to compare those two. Donda and CLB can be compared because they have a similar length, a lot of the same features
They’re both studio albums idc they’re getting ranked

Crazy he has tracks with 3 stacks in the vault, gotta be gearing up to drop something again soon.
He seems to really be focused on music nowadays.

Donda literally broke streaming records
Kompound members gonna act like this is just Ye stans but fam I LOVE the s*** out of Drake's music. This album just wasn't it at all
This thread is a mess, Drake fans are keeping it real when it comes to Donda while Ye stans are trolling when it comes to CLB, there's no way y'all hate it like this. This ain't a competition, just enjoy both wtf.
CLB is just not that great and I’m a fan of both
Honestly didn't think we'd get a song like Come to Life, that has seriously become one of my favourite Ye songs.
Perfection.
Donda literally broke streaming records
I don't see the album ruling the year tho, like damn or older drake albums
Kendrick gonna be better than all of them
Yea Kendrick is cooking something special for sure.
jcole, ye and now drake have dropped MID albums, not the worst but not the best given their goat status in hip hop. If they keep this up hip hop will be in a very bad state, theres starting to look like a vacuum in terms of mainstream quality and i hope someone can fill it in soon
