Drake - Certified Lover Boy (September 3, 2021) Album • Page 12

Precisely this. Length is never an issue as long as it’s warranted and goes well. Lots of rap albums now are long for the sake of juicing stream numbers

 

anyway off to bed, cyall tomorrow in the discourse

 

Exactly. Can’t imagine what the hold up was, outside of Drake probably needing to find some inspiration that he clearly never got. Either way, waste of time. What a dull, dull album.

 

I think there's some sort of solution, if the artist want it, where you kinda combine two trends. Essentially if on the Friday, an artist puts out their normal-length album that potentially is just as long as it needs to be, and then the Tuesday after or whatever, they release the deluxe edition with another 10 b-sides essentially.

This way you get the juiced streaming numbers but you still can have your creative "main album" and then you essentially get two release dates within the first week, so it probably would get you even more streaming numbers. Anyway, just spitballin, it could also make zero sense hah

 

First listen and this is easily my least favourite release of his.

Can barely remember any parts or hooks at all.

 

This first beat is so annoying

 

That “not pepsi” line got me

 

Certified Nap Time.

Drake peaked in 2011

 

Sampling “Michele” on the first track ok

 

Anyway, everyone go listen to the Little Simz album instead

 

Yeah this is a snooze outside of a track or two. Rick Ross and Wayne kill their features

 

"wheel me to defeat like we roller skating" cmon son

 

Wayne has been on a mini roll lately. His feature on “HOT WIND BLOWS” is imo the best of the year.

 

This is a real chore to listen to.

 

Man I woke up to 3 new pages about this shit album?

 

Idunno I’m having fun with the first few tracks

 

The first few tracks are fine and then it’s because a snooooooze

 

very bored with this so far

at least the features have been decent enough

 

did he really just say his catalog is immaculate?

 

Every song is just a retread of a previous one of his songs

 

none of us liked it dawg

 

good.

 

@sophos34 @irthesteve can you guys do live track by track impressions more often? That was genuinely fun to follow

 

last Drake record I loved was Nothing Was the Same (I was getting fatigued by If You’re Reading This). Has done nothing for me since (“Nice For What” is a major exception).

 

had the same thought

woulda thought he'd bring it more when sampling the literal beatles
