Albums Drake - Certified Lover Boy (Discussion Thread)

[Streetcar]

Hov spitting that shooter shyt flames. This has been lukewarm otherwise.

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.

Drake production is unmatched

He just fits so well over any beat effortlessly

just finished up. didnt really go into it with big expectations since i know what to expect from a drake album at this point. a good 6-8 songs that i add to my library and toss the rest just like views, more life and scorpion. 6.5/10 on my first listen

standouts: fair trade, tsu, 2nd part of n 2 deep, no friends in this industry, 7 am in bridle, you only live twice, the remorse

Kendrick will remind Ye & Drake what a real LP looks like

Is there a drake-less version of "in the bible"?.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Solid so far

 

[GunRanger]

Young Thug sounds like a woman

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Fair Trade is the best song so far

Way 2 Sexy is hot garbage and clear TikTok bait

It’s definitely going to be his next hit

Take Care is dope tho. NWTS was def the last time he tried to make a cohesive project for sure. And I fukk with drake heavy, just I know what to expect with his albums now. I'll keep like 5 songs off this shyt and look forward to the thots getting turnt to his nonsense
