Albums Drake - Certified Lover Boy (Discussion Thread)

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Andre 3000 should have never given this guy a verse

I understand some not feeling the Cudi track but I really like this track. I’m just happy to hear Cudi again. Been supportive of his music since I was in high school. The city loves him.

Yep. I’ll forever support Cudi because of his connection to Cleveland. What he did on those mixtapes and loosies from that 08-10 era as well as Man on the Moon was unreal

The Remorse is a worthy outro track.

This a 4 mic album tbh. Honestly it's not far and away better from Donda at all, as crazy as that may sound.

My Drake album ranks (albums only)

NWTS
Take Care
Scorpion
CLB
Views
Thank Me Later

Just middle of the pack.

Music is at a point now, where dudes are going to microwave the same album over and over again, until the formula doesn't work anymore. This sounds like every other random Atlanta rapper's project that's dropped in the last 8-9 years. No originality or anything even halfway inspiring or undeniably dope. It's just the same beats, drum patterns and flows that have been lifted from other MC's, with the same dry delivery we've been hearing since NWTS. Dudes who were actors before rappers, always seem like they're playing the role of rapper, more than actually being entrenched in the art of being an MC. And when you don’t write your shyt, it just gives everything else a mad inauthentic feel. I'm pretty sure I've given up on Aubrey at this point, lol. Ross and Hov are the highlights of the album.

People gotta start challenging these dudes to make better albums. It's always 20+ tracks of saying nothing memorable, unless someone's beefing. We need more monumental projects that will actually be about something other than just having a new joint out. What Kanye was doing on his first few albums, is what's missing now. Actually being invested in the art of music, and spending time making something that will stand out and basically be classic forever. Kendrick does it too, which is why he's probably the best to drop in the last 10 years. A lot of what Drake has been doing for years, is just generic everyday template "rap", under a bigger name.

Just finished I got to put this below Scorpion. If he didn’t have beef with Ye this album would literally be worse— because nothing else he’s talking about is remotely interesting. He really phoned this in.

I have apple music. but I want to have the mp3's for my archive. I'm old school like that.

That archive shyt a dub. Just add it to ur Apple Music n keep it pushing. I was like you once, 10+ years ago, adding every album to my external n shyt lol. I have ALL my music uploaded to Apple Music and life is great

You gotta put some respect on Bink's name.


That man made Devil in a New Dress

Bink did that? man his drums usually hit harder than that

 

[tinnyskillz]

There's some songs that have parts of it i like, but i don't really rock with the track as whole.

First listen i give the album a 6/10 no pun intended.



1st half of Champagne Poetry is2nd half is kind of meh
Fair Trade
TSU (Not Around) (old but still fire)
Way 2 Sexy (fukk ya'll this song fire)
Pipe Down
Yebba's Heartbreak
No Friends In The IndustryTHIS I S WHAT I WANTED THE WHOLE ALBUM. This song had the most ENERGY.
7am On Bride Path Drake snappin but that beat almost ruins it

Rest is mostly ok, with like 6 skips. Mostly from the final stretch of the album.

 

[Ball]

The Jay Drake song kinda underwhelming for “goats”

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

Its out already? Let me download real quick and listen to it while grind this day out

 

[TillWeDie]

More of the same snooze...waiting on Kendrick now

 

[OaklandCertified]

Not feeling this shyt

 

[King Kai]

Talking real spicy on 7 am on Bridle






Donda >

the disses right out in the open on this one

the fourth level of jealousy is called "medea"
isn't than an ironic revelation?
give that address to your driver, make it your destination
instead of just a post out of desperation

they definitely put the finishing touches on it very recently based on some of the bars

 

[WeInHere]

I don't know I think this is really good. 7am on Bridle Path is nasty

 

[HoldThisL]

What did he say about Ye and Swizz?
