Drake - Certified Lover Boy (September 3, 2021) Album • Page 18

3k really is the best rapper alive

but yeah finally listened to this whole album and like every drake album since NWTS there’s a solid album in there somewhere. But alas he’ll never give us a solid album again as long as streaming is the way it is. Booo

 

I mean… is it? This is pretty uninspired. I’d listen to Donda over this 9 times out of 10

 

Finally listening and this just feels like every Drake album since 2015. It’s presented very well, the production sounds nice, he hasn’t grown or matured whatsoever, and it’s entirely too long.

 

That true, but I'd also argue it's is less enjoyable than nearly every Drake album since 2015 as well. Shit is stale

 

“7am” lives up to its title. Most inspired he sounds on the album by a long shot, which might explain why he keeps feeding the Kanye beef.

I don’t really ascribe to “guilty pleasure” listening — like what you like — but I am not giving this album more listens because I’d honestly be so annoyed if Drake ended up on a most played artists list of mine just because he tricked me into looping 21 mediocre songs five or six times.

 

There’s like 5 or 6 songs on here I really like. The rest of it is hot garbage.

 

This is just boring for the most part. He doesn't even really sound like he wants to be recording half of these songs, and nothing on here sounds like something that couldn't have been any any of his last few albums. The only one that actually sounds like he's trying something new is Way 2 Sexy, and that song is so dumb that I kind of like it lol

For me the other standouts are TSU, the second half of N 2 Deep, No Friends in the Industry, Knife Talk, 7AM and You Only Live Twice (which Wayne MURDERS). I'm the biggest Cudi fan on earth so I really enjoy his part of IMY2 but Drake's part brings it down. That's about it, which is not good for an 86 minute long album

 

Papi’s Home
You Only Live Twice
Way 2 Sexy
Champagne Poetry
Fair Trade
Race My Mind
The Remorse

keep the rest

 

no friends in the industry and you only live twice are the only two tracks ive come back to since my initial listen.

 

ok that's great

 

Weird Al has aged surprisingly well

 

Okay add Race My Mind to the songs I like, that song just clicked for me a lot

So that makes 8 songs for me now lol

 

Rick Ross on a beat like that is always great. Besides that song nothing has really gripped me

 

It's honestly insane the kind of numbers Drake can still pull regardless of actual music quality

Drake’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart With Biggest Week for an Album in Over a Year

The biggest week since folklore dropped, biggest week for a rap album since Scorpion

 

"in the last five years, only albums by Drake and Swift have been as big or bigger in a single week"

fucking insane

 

Kanye about to drop that deluxe edition to compete with thatc

 

Kanye can't even come remotely close

CLB first week: 613k equivalent units
Donda first week: 309k album equivalent units

 

100 track album incoming

 

holy shit

Drake Dominates With Record 9 of Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100, Led by 'Way 2 Sexy' at No. 1

 

fucking gross

 

Yeah, nobody's winning with any of those songs.

 

The one good song didn’t even make the top 10
