First Hirst W in years
I’m going to repost what I said earlier. I invite you to reflect on it and think about the artwork a bit more deeply.
CLB cover art is pretty amazing honestly if you think about it for more than thirty seconds. The duality of it is what impresses me the most. On the one hand, it’s just simple emojis. Seems very low effort. But this is Drake saying that he wants the music to speak for itself first and foremost. He doesn’t need gimmicks, theatrics, or controversy. Unlike some people. Music comes number 1, as it should.
But a second glance also reveals a striking complexity. The use of emojis is Drake commenting on how the digital age has reduced complex emotions and difficult conversations previously held and expressed in person to simple images, emojis. We’ve become brain dead consumers, whose thought has been reduced by corporations to the lowest common denominators that could never possibly capture the full intricacy of our individual thoughts and feelings.
Corporations like Apple attempt to homogenize us into simple unquestioning sacks of flesh, capable of only communicating through grunts in the form of emojis, not much different than our Neanderthal progenitors. This breeds a knuckle dragging populace incapable of thinking critically about the role technology plays in keeping us under heel and subservient to our corporate overlords. Drake invites us to ponder this.
I think he’s also asking us to reflect on the burden women are forced to carry in our society, and how this burden is further complicated by the intersectional oppressions of race and gender, hence the beautiful diversity of women showcased through this art.
Drake effectively makes a statement while simultaneously asking very hard questions about our postmodern society.
It’s a shame he has to resort to meme based album covers regardless
all his covers been meme worthy since Take Care where u been?
You guys will find anyway to excuse his corniness. It’s a mental illness at this point

I agree bro. Make a thread about it.
It’s not bad I guess but I wonder what else he has up his sleeve, sportscenter and emojis haven’t really made this feel like a drake roll out yet, feeling kinda anticlimactic tbh
gimmick to go viral on social media
Tbh I also thought of Drake trying to meme this cover similarly to the hotline bling dance but I’m not seeing it actually being meme’d very much to be fair
