It’s growing on me. I like the provocativeness of it. You def can’t say he’s playing it safe with this. It being an ACTUAL art piece by an infamous/controversial artist also helps.
It’s a W if the album delivers
So the genius is the meme reaction and the fact that drake doesn’t take himself serious
this mans fans will be his own downfall
Real
You guys will find anyway to excuse his corniness. It’s a mental illness at this point
Every user on here either hates Drake so much they convince themselves everything he touches is trash and he has no redeemable qualities or they ride his D*** so hard they'll delude themselves into believing missteps are "brilliant" marketing tactics or whatever side skill is discussed this week. S*** is sick 😷
IYRTITL, Views, and Scorpion covers were all memeable too, man knows what hes doing

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.

I agree in that art should be provocative and I love shock art
This isn’t recieved such a reception because the content itself is provocative. It’s because it’s a low effort and aesthetically unappealing work meant for the largest recording artist in the world’s quintessential album

It’s a shame he has to resort to meme based album covers regardless
