Vynil cover for example
Is this one of the alternate covers? I like this way better
Easily CLB. 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 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"
The entire concept is how Drake is this this supposed s***symbol and every girl wants to have his babies. Has nothing to do with empowering women.
Niggas wrote a whole think piece and still was off
CLB artwork is interesting to me. I don’t mind it. I always like when artists don’t use their likeness on the album cover. The artwork fits with what I think the intended theme of CLB was supposed to be. I don’t know if it was completely carried thru the album though, but it’s something you can read into as artwork.
The Collector's Edition Cover >
Is this going to be able to be used for the digital version I wonder. I want this one and not the other one
need to wait until music is out to give full thoughts
CLB cover was nice cause all the colour made the music better to me
easier to associate colours with each song
Agreed 100% and that’s why I don’t get the hate
Even though the concept might be silly or stupid it’s nice to look at
He is not hyped lol & this doesnt help the case. He's a gigantic joke in his field and purposely overprices himself for the biggest sucker.
He's a sham that doesnt even do his own work.
But its not me that commissioned. Maybe Drake is genuinely one of the barely handful of people in the world that does like him 💀
Probably just a 4D stunt move for those in the know more than anything.
Not a big deal tho & all in good fun, but its hilarious.
damien hirst is a hack
at least KAWS has/had talent
Im not mad at Damien exploting the art world & rich buffoons & getting the bag while alive, but at this point its no secret anymore & widely known. Especially how he doesnt even do 90 percent of his own pieces for decades now.
Crazy Drake willingly went for it. If it aint ironic then its just stupid, hope its at least a 4d chess way of "stunting" lmao.
You seen that pill hotel room he designed that costs $100,000 a night? S*** is crazy & outside the admittedly cool pool, it doesnt even have anything in it besides pill facts, medical waste & those kind of shag long fabric cheap chairs from party city basiaclly 💀💀
People are forgetting Kanye likes Damien hurst too and one of them caused the other to buy the artwork but nobody knows who
