Albums Drake - Certified Lover Boy (Discussion Thread)

[MoneyTron]

This is one of the dumbest things i’ve ever read


Of COURSE you expect an artist, ANY artist, to make inspired music. Thats literally their fukking JOB. Nas thirty years in the game making classic music. J.Cole & Kendrick been in as long as Drake and making inspired music. The best thing about this album is a damn Jay-Z verse and he’s FIFTY ONE.


There’s no reason for an artist with Drake’s resources to make bloated trash. He’s got the best producers. He’s got the best writers. With all of that if you can’t put together a decent project then hang it up

All facts.

So I know how this will go.

The Coli: CLB is mid
Actual Reality: Everybody and they mama listening to it.

Same with Donda

The Coli: DONDA is a classic!
Actual Reality: Nobody is really fukking with it like that.

fukk both these nikkas tho.

DONDA getting mixed reviews on thecoli. I'd say Drake is getting the better initial response

Y'all should already know by now not to try and be critical with drake's music with his fans. They see his music as perfect and believe he is all hits no misses. Truthfully I think this man been feel off for years since Nothing Was the Same (imo). It's probably why he's been making all his projects after it long as fukk so that people can find songs they like off them and use them for playlists and shyt. Play it safe

Real Stans, it's sort of impressive.

Everyone is in a rush to judge, it's either trash or classic. Some of these kids want to experience a classic album so bad. A classic anything for that matter.

Social media really ruins a lot of shyt.

 

[FLORIDA BOI]

That song with Travis trav ridin

Amicably speaking, can i inquire on why such onus is placed on the masses listening to something? Do you think the general public has good taste?

or is streaming and “sales” the barometer ?

Plus I can tell a lot of you are cheerleaders for Ye and/or Drake...it's really embarrassing. I'm a self admitted Nas Stan but if Jay puts out a solid project I'm not gonna cap to make him sound inferior(for example his verse on this album was really good, much better than on Donda...I'm basically agreeing with @Ziggiy here). Just enjoy what you like man.

Streams will show that listeners are enjoying both.

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

This album feels like drake has regressed in every single way possible, Beata, hunger, lyricism.

For someone that used to sound unique he is now sounding like everyone else, and after 10 years deep is lyricism still has no real depth or substance.

 

[KillbertArenas]

What Drake album is better than this?

 

[SLCpremium]

Mans was spitting on 7am on Bridal Path ….my personal fav on the album so far

Nah I’m seeing ppl call it mid everywhere else too.

Well the streaming numbers are akin to a Stan Cold War.

 

[HDiron]

Yoooooo I’m in fukking tears lmaoooo watching this. This is great.

anyways, listened to the album. I don’t like long albums to begin with. This had about a handful of songs I didn’t like off 1st listen, but enjoyed the album besides those songs. Will listen again later today.

 

[Goat poster]

Close proximity, people always been going back and forth between the cities, and many Toronto residents are Bills season ticket holders. People in Toronto are very familiar with Buffalo, and residents in Buffalo are in Toronto all the time.

I get that

and it’s the same over here with Vancouver and Seattle.

But it’s still a difference, like I would NEVER mistake Griselda nikkas for some Toronto dudes. Even the hood Toronto dudes.

It’s not the same.

Highly disagree on the writers. IMO they've been dropped since 2015. This album has legit the worse he's ever had, some good ones might have tied some of the meh stuff together. Girls Want Girls is Exhibit A
