Way 2 Sexy greatest song? Either you trolling or you smoking some s***

Idc what other people say man. Take Care and Nothing Was the Same were amazing projects. Some flaws but overall his best albums for sure. Views is a great album for many reasons. It just disappoints on the rap side for the most part. CLB disappoints in so many areas.

One thing people don't seem to realize is that I never said CLB is bad. It's just a huge disappointment to me. It's cool all I'm saying is that I better not hear people and especially Drake himself say he the best or GOAT. This the fourth project in a row that ain't it.

kinda agree with this, good take imo

What you think bout the other leaks that made the album?

I agree, its a weird album for sure. I dont know if I like it or not.

It reminds me of views but without Controlla which makes up for views being subpar

I'll have more a detailed criticism in the morning but my opinion definitely won't change. Thanks for the kindness.

He definitely delivered for me. Feeling a 8.5-9/10 on this one after the first listen. Album felt concise with the theme and he didn't seem to "hit chase" on here, which furthered the cohesiveness for me. Production was also great.

Dope album but it's missing some of the leaks I know I heard and were dope af. Anyone got a folder?

Race My Mind is crazy good imo. If I’m not mistaken, I remember hearing a really short leak of that months ago. Not Around is whatever to me but it’s definitely album cut worthy. Fits the album concept Drake outlined in the album liner notes on Apple Music too.

How was Knife Talk at all concise with the theme? Should’ve named it Pillow Talk and have 21 come with some hoe bars. That would’ve been concise

Only reason I hold him to a high standard is that I know what he is capable because of past songs and plus he keeps holding himself to a higher standard saying s*** like he the GOAT or "Shout out to Hov because it's him then me". The album is good man but is it touching TC, NTWS, IYRTITL? Hell nah. S*** I even like Views and More Life more. I thought it would be his magnum opus. I'ma still enjoy it for what it is but just hugely disappointed.

ngl this soundin way better on airpods than on speakers

ya its just not for me
the songs I "like" are barely enjoyable
its drake tho so I owe it to him to give it another play or 2

agree bro

Initial thoughts:

Some solid tunes but not two year delay solid

Production on the intro is fire

Jay doesn't really do much for lotta 42, wish they kept tha switch up instead

I think listening to those leaks ruined my perception lotta 42, intoxicated, not around etc. Regretting that decision

Why tf is future on two songs

The songs where its just him rapping are the best but they are kinda boring

pretty underwhelmed

Bunch of cool songs that I'm sure I will enjoy more overtime

Off the first listen I don't really get the Certified Lover Boy concept

Did he just pick that title because it sounds cool?

Happy that he spent more time experimenting with the production , transitions, etc but some of the ideas that I'm sure he intended to be impressive kinda fall flat or end up being dead ends that lead nowhere

Gotta dissect the verses but none of them blew me away on the first pass like LPF, BBKF, OYF, etc

Don't know if he sounds exhausted with the burden of being on top or if I'm just exhausted listening to this s*** at 3am

looking at the Preggo Emojis got me queezy and are definitely not helping me enjoy this album more. Can't believe his is going to be the cover. FOREVER. Smfh

Been literally anticipating this for two years, f***

Overall this seemed really unfocused and super long, wonder what happened to him wanting to do something more concise

Fully expect the critics to drag this

Not even s***ting on Drake but off rip album is way too f***ing long

very mid and forgettable. i've listened to it twice and can barely think of any truly memorable moments that would make me wanna go back to it maybe besides the intro. there are no hits. the beats are lackluster. drake isn't rapping with any energy or singing with any emotion; its like he lost some of his love and passion for the music. he isn't saying anything new either. even the kanye diss was really forgettable and adds nothing new to this already pathetic feud.

Dark Lane Demo Tapes and Scorpion were better.

Want to save this for 1 week later when op is certified lover fan

This album was boring asf in 1st listen and i don’t know if going aged well, cause the project have a worst Drake rollout, no singles, no videos (Just LNCL and don’t make the cut), Chromes Hearts merch is weak too and I’m tired of this Drake formula, worked in TC, NTWS and Views but don’t work no more these days, he feels tired ‘bout music in this project. ‘bout the features, where Sampha? James Fauntleroy? PX? Majid Jordan? These guys always make the difference, for real.

Some solid tunes but not two year delay solid

• Yeah I thought the fact that he was spending so much time on CLB that'll be filled be with nothing but his best songs but he could say he made this album only last month and I'd believe it.

Production on the intro is fire

• Production overall pretty mid though.

Jay doesn't really do much for lotta 42, wish they kept tha switch up instead

• Bro he was just on Rap Radar talking about how he knows people just want to hear him and Hov rap on a record and the next song he has with him he puts him on one where he is singing??? I'll never believe another word this nigga says man.

I think listening to those leaks ruined my perception lotta 42, intoxicated, not around etc. Regretting that decision

• I don't regret it at all man all the leaks were just straight up better than the original except for Intoxicated because that one never fully leaked.

Why tf is future on two songs

• And both songs are mid.

The songs where its just him rapping are the best but they are kinda boring

• The beats on them aren't elaborate enough and his energy on them are so uninspired and lacking energy.

pretty underwhelmed

• Do disappointing.

Bunch of cool songs that I'm sure I will enjoy more overtime

• Pretty much but overall... disappointing album imo.

Off the first listen I don't really get the Certified Lover Boy concept

• I think he really just can't to a consistent concept for a whole album. He just ain't an album artist anymore I guess.

Did he just pick that title because it sounds cool?

• Whatever is cool to him is corny most of the time.

Happy that he spent more time experimenting with the production , transitions, etc but some of the ideas that I'm sure he intended to be impressive kinda fall flat or end up being dead ends that lead nowhere

• Ain't much experimenting imo. Bunch of trying to fit in to the current hip hop era which is disappointing when he supposed to be a leader/

Gotta dissect the verses but none of them blew me away on the first pass like LPF, BBKF, OYF, etc

• Facts. Only songs I f*** with lyrically are the intro, outro and time stamp record. Only 3 songs? That's sad.

Don't know if he sounds exhausted with the burden of being on top or if I'm just exhausted listening to this s*** at 3am

• It's him man. He don't got that hunger anymore or his voice changing for the worse as he gets older or something.

looking at the Preggo Emojis got me queezy and are definitely not helping me enjoy this album more. Can't believe his is going to be the cover. FOREVER. Smfh

• Can't defend him when people say he a meme artist now. Smh.

Been literally anticipating this for two years, f***

• So sad man... Can't believe I had faith that this would be better or at least on part with TC, NWTS, or IYARTITL.

Overall this seemed really unfocused and super long, wonder what happened to him wanting to do something more concise

• So many songs he should have just given to other artists.

Fully expect the critics to drag this

• He deserves it.

The rollout makes me think maybe he didn't believe it in like that idk
