Albums Drake - Certified Lover Boy (Discussion Thread)

[MarcP]

Champagne Poetry
No Friends in the Industry
Fountains
You Only Live Twice

The rest I could do without. After IYRTITL and What a Time he stopped having clearly defined eras in his music. From Views to now is just one long album to me.

Nah, there are stronger tracks. N 2 Deep, Fair Trade and No Friends are superior.

I'll give you Fair Trade, but not the other 2. TSU is the only other answer I'll accept.

That Swizz Beats diss

 

[Renegade47]

everyone involved going to hell for this “too sexy” track.

 

[nairdas]

Papi's Home probably my favorite track on this

This song, no industry friends, and only live twice, and 7am down a bridle path are my top 4

 

[King Kai]

“said you a lesbian yea me too”

a grown man said this

 

[Deafheaven]

I'd say... 5.5/10

There seems to be even fewer keepers here than his past shyts.

TBF Donda also was half doo doo butter imo but its good tracks were>>>>>this ones good tracks. And at least Kanye actually has some artistic vision even if it can be pretty stupid.

So far this suffers from the same problem as most of his recent albums. Far Too long with some great tracks surrounded by several filler ones. All the Billboards, Funny haircuts, and emoji album cover aside it’s the same ole same ole Aubrey. “N 2 Deep” “No Friends In The Industry” “The Remorse” and the joint with Cudi were my favorites.

Edit: the opener and the track with Wayne and Ross goes hard too

If you were expecting Drake to experiment, you will be very disappointed.

The album follows the same formula he’s used many times

 

[Cladyclad]

All the tweets and all them posts ain’t got the type time to be play wit u folk….

I’m down to die for these verses in my notes

lol

This beef crazy

 

[ALonelyDad]

15-21 exception of You only live twice is very mediocre and filler music. He honestly didn't need to add that many songs

 

[HoldThisL]

So what has been the top 5 albums of 2021 so far?

 

[King Kai]

I like the album. Won't have a full consensus for many listens. It's not really a rap album so anyone expecting that is gunna be let down

 

[SchoolboyC]

Off first listen I like it more than Views & More Life

Pipe Down, 7am on Bridle Path, Fair Trade, You Only Live Twice, Papi's Home are standout tracks to me with Pipe Down being the best. Weakest tracks to me are IMY2, fukking Fans, Way 2 Sexy & In the Bible, but Way 2 Sexy probably gonna be a TikTok hit I couldn't tell you the last time I liked a Kid Cudi song. 5-12 was the best stretch of the album with no skips

Fountains is a vibe too , Tems EP is real solid if y'all haven't heard it

Overall I give it a 8/10 off top. Definitely gotta run it back some more to see if my opinion will change on any tracks
