There fasho are some deep album cuts on here that people will come back to.
I just cant imagine the same Drake from Light Up and Pound Cake using a Jay Z verse on a random song that leaked a year ago. It's mad to see how much he's on autopilot lately.
All that being said, CLB is probably better than every project he put out since Views and it might age better than Views but it feels more hollow since CLB is basically just a playlist of songs.
Imagine if he put Travis Scott best switch on pound cake 💀
knife talk video further proves my point imo
i'm really surprised to see how many people dont like the knife talk video, i honestly think it was a unique and dope treatment for it

couldve dropped it during halloween at least, the promo for this project sucks ass
It’s weird because leading up to CLB it seemed like he was his most focused and about to drop a concise album. Then the cover dropped and everything went to s***.
The way he was moving prior to release made me think we were gonna get something totally different.
I think he knew he dropped high volume singles that were supposed to come out with the album but the pandemic f***ed everyone up and his album rollout. He was ready to pull up that summer 2020 with the biggest album yet but moved everything back.
So he probably decided to make an album with good songs and get some posse cuts to get his friends number 1s. He a real G like that.
I think he’s keeping the rest of the big singles for himself on the next wave or is currently making more music as we speak.

It’s like these niggas don’t think before they press post.
Nigga called Views just another album.
CLB just another album too.
Views really just another album tho

He dropped one of his greatest singles with LNCL and one of his dopest videos along with it during the summer of 2020 and just dipped afterwards, announced the album for january 2021 but abandoned that plan early into the year to make us wait till september when he just mysteriously announced CLBs release. A week later the album was there and with the album he also dropped a music video to Way 2 Sexy which is arguably THE banger of this album. But thats it.
I remember back in october 2020 when this picture was posted to instagram by him
and viet made the following thread:
https://ktt2.com/drake-shooting-on-set-95155
i was head over heels with this look, thinking to myself "holy s*** hes shooting the video for the first single and prepares the perfect rollout to drop during the summer/early fall, maybe this is even for not around.". But NOTHING happened. He hyped up the oh so different from the leak version of not around just to put another beat switch on it. He took out the best part of sound 42/need me to add a boring jay z verse. But even though he made those mistakes, the album still came out amazing and has some of his best songs ever on there. Champagne poetry might be his best intro even tho that first beat is basically snatched from masego which annoys me cause it showcases once again how drake doesnt feel the need to get all too innovative with this s***. N 2 deep is also one of those masterpieces on CLB, might be top 3 drake. I could praise more than half of the album right now but i wont cause thats not the point of this thread.
He doesnt do s*** for these songs. I need him to get out there and talk abt this s***, tell us the stories behind these songs and your thought process. I want all the inside scoop abt the workflow during the CLB sessions. Give us lil clips from the studio, get on radio shows, get on yt shows, get on podcasts... and most of all RELEASE MUSIC VIDEOS!!!! LNCL was a MOMENT and the visuals are just insane, where was this energy for CLB deadass its confusing me so hard that im starting to get a headache while typing this up.
And for every super mega braindead stan: Dont even start with the "hes drake he doesnt need to promote bla bla bla" bs. Hes my favorite artist and i want to enjoy the rollout and album era, i want to have a whole experience and memories to connect with. Just look at the weeknd man... it could all be so simple.
I need this man to go all out with his next release like he did with scorpion, its the worse album but it feels better cause so much more happened and was done for it. That single run before scorpion drop s***s all over the whole CLB era.
rant over
Im glad somebody finally wrote this so i can be the first to tell you, you doesn't hate this era... he's just over it!
CLB was ready to go as an album early last year, but because of covid and the label it just put the album behind...
Drake wants to be known for music and that alone. comparing it to other artists who create Era's with less quality music is dumb.
Appreciate the sonics bro
Idk if he hates it but the whole "six" connotation and this also being the 6th one you would have thought it would be his best. The delays and everything just created more hype. If y'all like it then good for you but it was so disappointing to me
