His actually dropping a new album October the boy drake is smart his not stupid
I agree
ITS OBVIOUS WHY MUSIC SUCKS NOW, EVERYONE HAS DECIDED MUSIC ISNT WORTH BUYING. SPOTIFY ENSURES THAT ARTISTS DONT NEED TO PAID A DOLLAR PER SONG LIKE ITUNES DID. I DONT KNOW WHO TO BLAME OTHER THAN MYSELF AND EVERYONE WHO USES SPOTIFY AND STREAMING MUSIC. SSAD TO SEE BUT WHEN THERE IS NO MONEY IN MUSICC WHY WOULD ANYONE BER MOTIVATED TO MAKE AANYTHING OTHER THAN RADIO THROW AWAY SONGS. ANSWER ME THAT MINTROM. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW MUSIC HAS GGOOTTEN WORSE EVER SINCE SPOTIFYA ND MUSICAL STREAMING HAS COME OUIT. I DONT KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BUT PEOPLE NEED TO BE AT LEAST TOLD TO GO SUPPORT ARTISTS DIRECTLY. I SEE A FUTURE WHER THERE ISNT ANY MUSIC WORTH LISTENING TO ANYMORE.
Song at 8:00?
You obviously don't know the difference between hip hop and rap hip hop is to vibe and just listen to which is what's popular music is all about having fun the old drake is no more listen to headlines bro people been talking trash on Drake for years do you think he gives a fuck? No if you want a message listen to lyrical rap artists but know this eventually everyone gets older and has a evolution and eventually sticks with what they know not everyone has new things to talk about all the time
It’s like drake hasn’t recovered from getting rejected publicly by Rihanna
I'd be sick about that too honestly, especially after a guy like Rocky swipes her away lol
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 cause rocky actually a good guy and good looking while drake… well…
@@prodpoofe yeah Rocky is definitely one of the most handsome dudes out there, no debate, he and Rihanna look well together
And Jay Z will snatch her away from Rocky 🖐
@@thabodylanncube2206 isnt jay z with beyonce
Drake has spent the past 4 albums telling us he wants to find a good stripper to settle down with and then complains that they only want him for fame and money. Dude needs to stop crying and move on.
What else does he have to rap, about? Cars, clothes, gold, money. Usually relationships are Next and the prototype stripper is his type. He should take a page of Anthony kedis book (scar tissue). In his 50's and still writes good lyrics about finding love. (based on their last album a few years ago). None about a stripper.
@@oshaughnessygaragedoors4036 Ain't nothing bad about writing emotional songs. It's just that if you only make them it loses its effect. This is why Mirror by Lil Wayne did so good. He rarely makes introspective songs, so when he does it's more valuable.
It's probably because he is only worth fame and money. If I was Drake I wouldn't even be spending money on them, and everytime I meet them would be in the darkness of night.
😂😂😂😂
@@encouraginglyauthentic43 Mirror,what a song!
This album sounds like Drake actually wrote it himself.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You just complemented his rapping?
Which is why it sounds like trash
😂😂
dead bhai 😂😂
*laughs in 2024 Kendrick*
Drake is 34 years old. And this is his worst work.
At the same Age, Kanye made My beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy. His best work.
Drake is still talking too and about teenager gurls and haters at 34
While Kanye had line like “I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts” And drake is saying shit like
“You a lesbian, girl me too” 🤦🏾♂️
It sold 600k first week wayyy more than donda
It sold because it’s drake, not because it’s good
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but drake didn’t lie. Their is a lot of lesbians nowadays. Nobody wants men.
What line is that song from ‘I just needed time alone with my own thoughts’
@@hoodieap2858 Power
Shoulda known this man was done when he dropped toosie slide 🤦🏻♂️
Rewatching that awful music video while editing this was tough
Facts
LMFAOOOOO!!! Nigga didn’t you see the size of his mansion in that music video? He doesn’t give a fuck anymore. He won. Over $200M in his bank account, a $100M mansion, his own private 767 Boeing plane, plus he’s the Toronto Raptors Ambassador. It’s like doing side missions after you’ve gotten all the money, cars, clothes and mansions in GTA.
Should of known he was done since dropping views
@@lethalspecter then y does jay and Kanye still put out good music
Him going to such great lengths to describe how his life isn’t “some sad story” and that he’s not the sad guy, makes me think that’s exactly the case.
“Methinks the lady doth protest too much” hamlet, Shakespeare
He literally says “my career is going great but the rest of me is fading slowly” and “my therapist voice is making the choices for me” maybe if y’all weren’t so focused on hating and actually listened to the album you’d know💀
@@leultrainstinct406 Give it a few years, they'll listen then. Now they just wanna shout how bad the album is and try to push his evolution before he reaches it himself. They saying he still making the same kind of music but if u actually listen to the bars on the album he was talking his shit through a lot of it. I'm starting to appreciate Drakes rapping now, bro ain't too bad.
@@leultrainstinct406 wow 2 lines throughout the hour+ album
Drakes a millionaire. How sad do u think his life is lol
Drake is emotionally less mature than me, a 26 year old who lost his virginity last week.
Congrats on getting laid.
Congrats my G
Was it worth the wait?
ay no shit talking bro, but I legitimately congratulate you.
Grats
Akademiks wasn't the only one who fell asleep while listening to CLB, i did too, and when I woke up, the album was still playing, on god! it had only reached halfway through its total length.
Drake shot himself on the foot by releasing at 2 in the morning smh
lol
Started getting bored around Girls Want Girls, then I closed my eyes midway through In The Bible, both songs are ass
My friend once fell asleep through the whole views album. I think Drakes music can be used as sleep treatment, at least it has a use.
Bro i fell asleep listening to it too
At first, i was hoping that he would make a dark ambient dark lust trap music but NOOOOOO he didn't. And then I saw the album cover, and then I've lost all faith for Drake.
Let’s face it at this point Drake just wants to succeed in terms of numbers and hits rather than make cohesive albums 🥱
@@mintrommovies I really hope that Drake change CLB album cover artwork fr
@@mintrommovies True, even when he's at his worst, he's still going to have streams because he's Drake smh. Also, this video is amazing forgot to mention. Keep it up, man!
hasn't he already done that?
Same here. I’m done with Drake. I’ll still listen if he makes a hit from time to time but it’s evident at this point in his career he just doesn’t care anymore. I’m looking forward to Travis Scott and The Weeknd’s new albums.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is what happens to most artists that have long since hit their magnum opus and settled far too into a good life. That inspiration and drive to make something special and meaningful is gone whether they care or not.
I actually prefer Dark Lane Demo Tapes over CLB, the sound of that project was different from what he usually drops.
5 am in Toronto
That Eminem remix went hard
@@JesusGonzalez-fn6hn There was no eminem remix lol
@@joshuawebb3614 pretty much is
@@JesusGonzalez-fn6hn No, he interpolated like 2 lines haha it's definitely not an eminem remix
The most straightforward review of a Drake album I’ve heard. In my honest opinion he stopped trying after More Life (I did enjoy that project). Donda despite its flaws has songs that make me want to go back and listen again and again. Even The Weeknd keeps it refreshing by involving some form of a concept with his work.
one of the things I love bout the weeknd is that, no projects look alike to something hes released before. he always change the theme and music.
Bro Drake isn’t trying at this point he easy with it Donda is Drake at More Life level , he isn’t still trying to prove a point if he tried Donda would see dust .. stay thankful to the 6 man
the weeknd is the goat
For real. More Life was his last somewhat-decent project. Drake was always hit-and-miss, but at least he used to have the occasional gem. Now his music is so bland and dull that I simply don't care.
Drake knows his albums and songs will chart at #1 even if they have no replay ability. There’s some chance songs I’ve been listening to on repeat since 2015 and I think that’s the truest measure of a great song
Drake's peak was 2009-2015, but since then, he just refuses to mature artistically. Makes me wish that he looks at the feedback and make an album that's a return to form and something worthwhile.
Yes!! Thank u I picked the exact same dates as u ppl say he peaked til 2017 but hell no after WATTBA which wasn’t that good I saw this coming he got too comfortable at the top
@@qdontae6 honestly NWTS is the last album that I even considered good after that he fell off to me I’m
Not mad at his success but I do wish his success was dependent upon how good his music was/is bc it’s like that for everybody else but for some strange reason not him I hate that
@@t-god2439 of course, NWTS was his best WATTTB was trash IMO it just solidified my point drake was officially done after that project
@@qdontae6 like 🤷♂️ why so
Many people still listen to him he has nothing let to say
What do you mean
I really don't get some of these rappers. It's like their entire image revolves around being a hypocrite. You're not allowed to sleep around with hundreds of randos and then be mad when those same randos don't gaf about you and only want you for your money. If you don't want a real relationship, that's fine, but you don't get to be mad that the people you attract with your lifestyle choices don't want that either. YOU chose this.
Drake is the type of guy to say “jeez Louise”.
Drake made the same album 4 times since 2018 Idk why people (including myself) thought he was gonna do something different
I'm guilty
Views marked the turning point where he went into just trying to make tracks designed to be as commercially appealing as possible and call that an album. I also expected him to correct the course with this one, especially after Scorpion, but that Drake that I find so inspiring and musically fresh might be basically gone for good. Maybe he'll change if it makes less money than Scorpion.
@@bigol9223 Agreed
preach! its same song over and over he only chances up a little bit when he is trying to copy any new trend or rapper
I feel like since 2016 everything has been getting recycled
Donda being part of this rollout makes the glaring holes even more obvious
On one side you have an artist doing whatever he wants to make what he deems authentic and on the other hand you have a marketing tool masked as an album
Word
IMO Ye releasing before him was a master stroke, because listening to Donda before Clb just made CLB seem like watered down trash. I envy people who listened to CLB without listening to Donda, they’d probably love the album.
@@electricman68 They didnt need to listen to Donda to dislike CLB. CLB when compared to its predeccesors is dog water...The whole reason why people compare Drake and Kanye is because they have a rivalry and so people are betting for either one to fail cause theyre fans of either one of them...Honestly its sad that Drake is all about numbers rather than actual good music nowadays. To think More life and Scorpion are actually better than CLB is tragic
@@jackhawk8997 CLB was far from trash. Y’all Kanye fanboys are talkin crazy. And it’s only y’all. Most drake fans still donda its props but for some reason Kanye stans act like he walks on water and can’t do any wrong.
@@bn1342 you see that's where you got me all the way fucked up. CLB compared to the albums that came before is a lackluster album, it falls flat compared to views and views was a good album
Drake speaking out against toxic masculinity is pretty hilarious considering the fact that he benefits from it lmfaooo
DEO
Even as someone that doesnt hate the album , this is very accurate. Drake lacks any creativity in his songwriting and song structure
"Aside from boredom I don't feel anything"
That's gotta hurt 💀💀
That’s exactly how I felt about donda. Until I realized the point was it’s a gospel lullaby album for Christian kids. I played it for my Christian son and he instantly fell asleep. Thanks Kanye‼️

You know King Push shook his head and laughed when he heard that line.
@@romaretaylor9953Pusha in an interview with Joe Budden revealed that he does listen to Drake and likes his more RnB cuts. He actually said Scorpion would have been fire had it been cut to its 10 best tracks.

Drake is like the clout mafia.
He's "friends" with everyone, there's an unspoken agreement not to talk bad about him and if you do people will dislike your video and stuff.
He's like a cult leader

That's why I got mad respect for Kendrick
Kanye is like McDonald’s. He’s so popular that the quality of the product gets ignored because it’s so accessible
Facts
Been a Drake Stan since 09' I was so friggin disappointed in the trash album to the point I'm taking a break from his music.
Same for me but at least some songs on the 2nd half of the album grew in me like Race My Mind, YOL2, and Get Along Better. But the first half is truly atrocious lol
Listen to new genres
Please just say fan 😂😂 sooo cringy
May I interest you in sum ye

It’s really sad when an artist peaks with their first couple of albums…
Finds their lane and then doesn’t stray from the $$$ formula ever again.
Reminds me exactly of Kanye
honestly, call me a contrarian or a pedantic heavy metal elitist, but as a metalhead CLB is the antithesis of what i love about music. its missing the highly technical and impressive instrumentals, deep and varied lyrical content, and the uniqueness of each individual track that made me fall in love with music, and instead is overly commercialized, autotuned to hell and back, and homogenous very similarly to St. Anger. the worst part is that is came in the same week as Donda and Senjutsu, two albums that feature already-famous artists exploring new territory with their music.
Not only that but Tyler the creator shows you can have catchiness, creativity and good writing in rap.
This is like the reverse of Between the buried and me's Colours II; instead of retreading old ground and knocking it out the park, Drake just does something again and making it even more bland. Shouldnt matter about genres either because good music is good music.
@@sirspookybones1118 i also wish that rap would start fusing with other genres. bodycount is one of my favorite bands, and its because it tries to mix two seemingly very different genres
@@noah-wb4mz there's loads of examples of rap crossing over with other genres, but they've all fallen to just rap and pop.
@@noah-wb4mz I think you’d like Rico Nasty, Denzel Curry, Amine and Gold Link
You're 40 years behind on quality Hip-Hop. Go back in time you're like supposed to in respect to every genre. Drake won't fulfill your needs as a listener from the other side.
The guy who makes music about being sad and lonely is bothered about being seen like that. Very funny dude.
He’s a better comedian than artist tbh
@@fuziontonygaming Drake is actually fucking funny😭😭😭 but yea his music is overhyped and sorry
Drake doesnt really overemphasize that he's lonely in his music. Idk where yal getting this notion from.
@@musicmeister1313 they're referring to his first few projects dude, use context clues
Everyone favorite excuse for why the album is good is “it’s a vibe”
I’m learning that “it’s a vibe” means something is fuckin trash, and fans are making themselves like it.
Not necessarily i mean if they didn’t like it they’d just say that right?
Except for carti cause it generally a vibe 🤷🏽♂️😭

@@geckoplayz747 I’m glad someone said it🙂
@@SupremeST25 no the wouldn't cause they like drake .. that is what happens when u worship the artist instead of valuing their work
Maybe it’s us. Maybe we are putting these expectations on Drake to be this thought-provoking, legendary artist, and he’s just not, or at least not anymore. I see so many trying to peg him in with the likes of Kendrick or J.Cole, and I think thats the problem. They don’t cater to the mainstream as heavily as he does. They don’t churn out pop rap songs every two months to stay relevant. It’s pure quality over quantity. So I think his last few albums (at least after NWTS for me), have been very hollow and just mostly forgettable because he’s catering to this pop, mainstream image. Everything from him now is very shallow, repetitive, cookie-cutter, rehearsed music/image. Not letting his art reflect anything personal or profound, just whatever gets his name on the charts. Not to mention, resorting to bs (fake) “rap beefs” to stay relevant as well 🙄. It’s feels like a facade, like this fake wanna be hard/ghetto front, when thats really not him. I think thats why his music doesn’t connect anymore. Doesn’t make him bad, but IMO just not on the same level or quality as the other artists people are trying to compare him too. Like trying to compare Cardi B or Meg to Lauryn Hill. 🤨🤨 Like, no lol, let’s keep them separate. I don’t hate Meg or Cardi, but me criticizing them for not being “deep” is well silly bc they are not that type of artist. Just because it’s popular does not equal quality.
Couldn't have said it any better. I 100% agree
The issue is that Drake for the longest time wanted to looked at like the Kendrick’s and J Coles of the world
The difference between able and drake is able's music is good.
You are so right. Drake’s lack of self awareness is unreal. His whole view is to unreal because no one could be this oblivious. It is such a non starter for me. It’s either fake ( which would be weird because who would want to pretend to be this creep) or it’s just ignorance, in which case he does need some friends, friends who are willing to show him what’s up. I’m so glad you posted this video because this has been bothering me since the album dropped and I gave it a listen. 32 year old “lover boy”. How creepy is that?
@@C12341 don’t bring his mom into this shit dude wtf? He’s not incapable of growing as a person, he’s just not putting his best foot forward musically rn it doesn’t mean he never again will we can’t predict the future
@@romaretaylor9953 Fair enough man, that's probably a bridge too far. He's in a holding pattern, but he's not going down in quality, that's huge. He has pressures in his life I don't think I could handle and he's still on top
@@C12341 hes a multimillionaire getteing millions for a single show you think he gives a f?
There's a video of drake making a "drake kind of guy" joke so he definitely just milks his image
@@mathieumansire372 That's exactly the problem. Stans gassing their heads with that bullshit "he's a millionaire" nobody cares. Kanye was a multi millionaire and gave us dark fantasy, 808's, life of pablo and a billionaire and gave us Donda.
What on earth made you think that Drake was gonna drop a classic. All of his actions for the past five years have pointed to no
That's true. But for me scorpion was his best effort in years (thanks to pusha ngl) and the promo with all his old album covers gave me a lil hope. But you right. I don't know why I expected much from the dude who dropped toosie slide
@@kaidms tough pill to swallow, I know. I love Drakes back catalogue, my last favorite project of his was IYRTITL or What a Time to be Alive, which probably shows my age lol
@@dennis3dc before scorpion I woulda said the same thing (about iyrtitl not so much wattba) so we in the same boat. Back to low expectations I guess
The trailer for the album referenced So Far Gone, Take Care, and NWTS, so reasonably, most ppl would think the album would live up to the quality of those albums
@@noir269 the way I see it, if he had what it took to make albums like that again, we would never have ended up with albums like views-CLB. So no the promo wasn’t foolin anybody
this is the first full album I've ever listened to by Drake and i personally really liked it but seeing people hate on it makes me feel like I've just missed drakes whole good era lmao.
No doubt. Take care was by far the best thing that came from him, and after a couple set of bangers after that (Nothing was the same, What a time to be a live, if you're reading this it's too late) he stopped that hunger filled come up, and got too comfortable with his career and lifestyle which lead to boring and uninspired music. I was hoping the Push T beef was enough to knock him off his high horse to come back stronger, but it didn't do anything unfortunately.
Nah. Hating on drake is a trend in this era so don’t listen to the bozos. You missed drakes peak but as he said himself on 7am on bridle path
“Far as the drake era goes we in the golden ages”
don’t worry when take care came out everyone trashed it. same with nwts, iyrtitl, wattba, views, and more life.. but after about 6 years they begin to say it was a classic. it ages well so you should go back and check it out
@@TremilHD that is not true. idk what universe you was in when they came out, ppl did not do that.
"All Drake is talking about are these anonymous haters, who for some vague reason want him to lose his spot" LMAO

Donda over clb, anyday of the week anyday of the month and anyday of my life
This. How people can be so ignorant to even compare CLB to the masterpieces like Jesus Lord, come to life etc. from Donda is beyond me
Y’all think donda is a masterpiece? That shit is garbage. Kanye had so many projects that were better
@@HookahDoncic98 bro thank you. Donda ain’t a masterpiece. And people who think so are just caught up in the hype and straight forcing it just because they hate drake
@@HookahDoncic98 ,yeh cause Kanye had so many amazing albums. Just cause it ain't top doesn't mean it ain't amazing
@@trondadon2527 I like both artists. I was a bit disappointed at Donda at first but even more disappointed at CLB. It took a while, but I actually get excited when songs like Pure Souls, Hurricane, Come to Life, Lord I Need You, and Off the Grid come on my playlist. I took out all CLB songs off my playlist. I play CLB to fall asleep, thats the only purpose it has.
Finally someone said it. I found CLB bland, easily forgettable with no effort on the music. . I think he fell by miles this time. The project is poorly delivered for me. Maybe I was expecting a little more effort than scorpion, but nothing except disappointing results for the past of his 4 albums. It’s even low for drake’s project like seriously. It's the same monotonic style as Eminem has been putting for the last 10 years tbh. At least Em tries his best while rapping.
Bro… I had SUCH high expectations for this album. My favourite Drake album is IYRTITL and I was expecting CLB to be a classic. Drake skipped on dropping in 2014 to deliver IYRTITL in 2015. He took 3 YEARS to drop this piece of shit.
@UC9Ya_fmFnxCxpTv6ajc2r3g 4 years to drop this piece of shit....
Constipation of albums!!
@@rafipatwary7874 chile drake ended for me after 2015 ..and that album was mediocre.. then he gives us Scorpion lol after that I lost interest in him so clb didn't surprise me .. Drake is nothing but hype.. WAYNE AND NICKI rap better than him . 🤷 said this for years
he’s been the same since Views in 2016 what did you expect, and scorpion was his last arguably good or feasibly ok album. nowadays it seems like a reach. He’s had his chance but nothing left to see
Clb makes scorpion look good imo,it felt at least like he tried to do the best of bith worlds but clb is just bland
But to be fair "Fair Trade" was a pretty good song.
Way 2 Sexy was a good fun type of song no need to take it so seriously it definitely bumped in the summer but in general yes all the songs are trash except one. I remember waking up for work 7 am and no lie I saw the album dropped and skipped through it quick in about 6 minutes, saved one song, laughed and forgot about the album, aside from driving in traffic in downtown Toronto and seeing his billboard everyday.
Btw No Friends in this Industry is hard.
Drake's fan be like:
nAh yOU biAseD
Kanye’s fans be like: hE’s A gEnIuS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no such thing as an unbiased opinion
“now let’s look at way too lazy” 😆😂
"way 2 lazy"
It's like drake hasn't recovered from The Story of Adidon
Years of hype for this thing. That promo clip from like January where he was posing as his past album covers and shit was better than this whole album.
There's a few good tracks, but they feel like disposable throwaways that make more sense on a More Life/DLDT release.
Almost the only lyrical substance on this album that's captivating in any way, including the ENTIRETY of his anticipated new time/location track, is about ANOTHER FUCKING RAPPER.
Sure, Ye put a diss track on his album, and he had a couple shots here and there, but nobody comes away from Donda thinking about Drake. I came away from CLB thinking about Kanye both because of how much more I got out of his album, and because of how much of Drake's album was dedicated to talking about him.
Terrible decision, hard to tell if it was done out of faltering management advice or just a desperate attempt to capitalize on a moment. Also the dude is still writing bars about the last beef HE LOST with another guy in Ye's camp, bars about how he's over it and it doesn't even phase him, yet again he keeps writing about it. He just feels out of inspiration, like there really is nothing new in his life or his creative vault.
damn this is actually a really good take
The only song I liked even a bit was the remorse and then again the rest of the album is just guest appearances and disgust
Ngl this is one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen
As far as disposable tracks goes, there really isn’t a single one. Every single song fits with the theme of the album “a combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of truth which is inevitable heartbreaking”
Your next point just shows you didn’t listen to the album. The fact you think 7am is the only track with substance literally proves it So nice job exposing yourself lmao. The song itself isn’t even all about Kanye. Like all his time/location songs, he comes at ALL his haters. So the fact you’re surprised also shows you ain’t really a drake fan.
Next, the fact you came away from the album only thinking of Kanye when drake only mentions him on two songs again shows you didn’t listen to the album.
Speaking of Kanye, it’s even more disrespectful and shameful that he included drake disses on an album that was supposed to be dedicated to his mom. “Toxic masculinity” is literally in the description of CLB. You’re talking about how drake is bringing up old beef, when Kanye is doing shit like this lmaooo. Even on the most emotional song life of the party, Kanye STILL BRINGS UP DRAKE BEEF.
Listen again and this time actually pay attention

“he has to resort to making a cringe song to blow up on tik tok really speaks to his approach to music” … what the fuck is he talking about 😂
More number≠good music
I want to thank you so much for this. This is the realist review of this project AND of this “artist”. To me His mixtapes are ALWAYS better than his actual albums albums. WATTBA, More Life, Dark Demo Lanes… like all those projects there is actually effort!
If you think ANY of those projects are better than Take Care, Nothing was the same or if your reading this it’s too late then your absolutely delusional.
Drake died in 2016. Everything since has been absolutely robbed of any creative process.

He’s just a meme machine now.
Um no he died in 2015 anything after was bad
After views he stopped trying
HE DIED???????? (sorry)
Drake is still proving himself publicly to Rihanna
It's the Jerry Seinfeld effect: fame and fortune separating you from the human experiences to the point that you can no longer make meaningful art
no friends in the industry, champagne poetry, fair trade, 7 am on bridle path, knife talk, pipe down > donda
The issue with making music that’s so centered around the being number 1 and being on the charts is that the eventual come down would hurt your art so much and your music wouldn’t stand the test of time. Nobody stays no.1 forever and I wonder what the excuse would be when his music is tearing up the charts.
I guess that explains why donda was so ass. Kanye had an entire listening party, featured all of the most mainstream artists including pop smoke, even included drake disses, all of this just to build up streams and revenue. When he should’ve focused on his mom like he was supposed to be doing. Maybe the quality would’ve been better‼️
This explains why Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red in which when you actually look at the lyrics is so incredibly egotistical “feel like god” was able to be put at album of the year by Washington post (this album didn’t even release 2021?! It released Dec 25 2020)
I truly liked it just because all The Weeknd s refferences, and the final line"I only want good music".
loved the video thank you for a great essay!!
wow this video was bussin! Subbed honestly I expected you to have 128k subs not 12.8K keep going dude! this channel is gonna explode
Views was his peak . Love that album.
I’ve been saying this for a long long time, Views from the 6 was his last good album. After that, every other album was just filler songs full of nothing
Definitely his peak
Views when it started going downhill tbh
His peak, IMO, was 2015, IYRTITL & WATTBA both 8's IMO.
Do not disturb on more life was okay ish
You're comparing hungry drake to comfortable drake!😂
Facts
Right
The fact that I like Way 2 Sexy, but I like it as a joke song. It makes me laugh. I don’t take it seriously at all. Of course, I love the music video 😂
exactly. people so serious nowadays, gonna act like if rap album aint dark or got bars or anything, its an L.
funny how he's got "no friends in the industry" but most of the songs in the album have features on them, and are ironically pretty much what saves CLB from being absolute hot garbage
hes saying that he doesnt have friends in the industry just business relationships, all his real friends are outside of the industry. so your comment is basically complimenting him bc yeah he used his business relationships to have a number one album. pretty simple
@@cheeseballs9579 ohhh, that actually makes a lot of sense lmao. i agree with you, but i still think is ironic how he's clearly taking advantage of the business relationships he has while claiming he doesn't have people he can trust in the industry
@@carolinareis5509 yeah, i dont understand his endless hunt for money, you think he would slow down at some point, but you got to be some what greedy to make it to his level anyways
Bruh, drake used to seem like this chill confident guy in his songs. Now he's just trying to send some weird message that he doesn't care, yet it shows through.
DONDA review when?
Either next video or the one after that
@@mintrommovies nice, good video by the way
I'm a HUGE Drake fan but I'm genuinely glad that the album is getting the flak it rightly deserves. It was the most uninspiring, lyrically lazy and thematically bland album he has ever put out. I was expecting something to rival "Take Care" with roaming brooding. Instead we got this tepid mess. Drake seriously needs to find a way to reinvent himself but I'm just hoping it isn't too late.
This video is straight facts! And it’s crazy that in that interview where he’s saying “everyone thinks he’s lonely and sad” it looked like it was done around 2013… and at that time I was in hs and I did not know a single person that thought that of drake…. Me and my squad would actually talk about how lavish they were partying lmaooo! Now seeing him say that makes him actually seem lame all those years ago… I just was never interested in his personal life just his music and assumed he was living happy based of its success 😑
He knows he is catering to the mainstream, and based on the numbers it has worked. At the end of the day, he is trying to make money. I am sure he knew "way 2 sexy" would have gotten on top because it just shows what the market is like these days. If the audience shows that they dislike this style, he will change, but until then he will continue to do this because it is profitable. I enjoyed the album because I wasn't trying to analyse it so hard, just had some nice beats and catchy lyrics and that is probably what he was aiming for anyways.
The funny thing is Kanye has made more money than him by doing the opposite
@@chillhomie7 Kanye has made more money by being more than a musical talent. I don’t think Drake is much more than a musical talent with a marketing machine and thats okay, there are room on my playlist for both tbh.
The problem is that on past albums like Take Care or NWTS, Drake proved that he could do both, make radio hits and music that conveyed some sort of feeling or message.
Like Drake was already super popular and mainstream. He didn't have to dumb down his music even more for more mainstream success.
@@ryanmurphy7782 Kanye made more money stepping into fashion. Musically, Drake has the highest paid tour and music profit...that public knowledge lol. if drake wanted to step into mainstream hypebeast fashion seriously, he could no problem.
Lil Wayne's verse on You Only Live Twice is the biggest highlight for me in this album
Project Pat and 21 Savage are another highlight but Pats verse was cut short.
The weekends verse on hurricane was the only and best highlight of donda
I’m gonna be honest, as a massive Kanye fan and a BIG CLB hater the day it dropped, I actually really enjoy this album now. Besides the slow pacing towards the end, there are genuinely some amazing tracks and the atmosphere this album builds in tracks like TSU, Get Along Better, and In The Bible is insane
Way 2 Sexy is about having fun and the point isn’t to be good, it’s basically just one big joke and that beat goes crazy
I tried to give it a try but I was lying to myself saying it's amazing... Drakes discography since 2015 have been Trash.. this album was boring and predictable lyrics was senseless and he is always crying about something.. in short he's HYPE is greater than his music. I rock with young money but I found that Wayne's and Nickis work are better than his.. and they aren't as HYPE as him.
@@wallisvictor9688 I definitely don’t think it’s amazing, the pacing in the last third sucks, but the album has a lot of great tracks
I’m in the same camp when it comes to the songs, TSU beat and vibing is fanatic it wears it influences on the sleeve. Way 2 sexy is dumb fun and knife talk is a miss used track. The rest is boring
@@mightquinnable fair enough, at least we can agree TSU is great
@@stratosphere2323 I honestly have no idea, it usually bothers me a lot. I just get so sucked into that song that it doesn’t even occur to me that it’s happening. And the features kill it, especially Giveon, I tend to only focus on the beat and Giveon’s feature when listening to it
good video, the video essay format was great
Grab your popcorn boys, comment section is gonna be fun.
In all seriousness, great video.
Yebba's heartbreak is the best song there.
And that is saying something about Drakes music these days
And Drake isn’t even say anything!
@@youngdoka7641 Drake can still drop dope songs and features tho
And fountains. That song is fucking beautiful mostly due to tems.
Subbed for this and your Weeknd video!
Man when you played Headlines that was some nostalgia. That was the song that *really* got me on to Drake. Became a huge fan for the next few years.
I do like Ratchet Happy Birthday, tho. Although it was clearly written by PND.
But yeah I agree CLB was super underwhelming but there are 5 or 6 tracks I go back to. TSU is my number 1, followed by 7am and Girls Want Girls.
But there seems to be a lot of filler and, like you say, we don't learn anything new.
Do not get me started on the album cover.
Way 2 Sexy is an insult to our intelligence
I have a hard time believing drake listens to his own music. Or at least I don’t believe he listens to his albums in completion
I like how he criticizes Drake for doing the things The Weeknd does. Then says The Weeknd is different because he shows accountability compared to Drake who isn't self aware when a few seconds before he talked about a song where Drake literally shows that he is self aware when talking about sleeping with fans instead of making his relationship with a woman who was waiting for him back home work or still wanting to party like he is in his 20s when he is a grown man. To say Drake didn't innovate his sound with this album is valid criticism but this just sounds like classic Drake hate to me.
I knew this review was gonna be full of bs when he said lil nas was more hardcore than Drake
The Weeknd gave nice film work with some good ass songs. Drake gave us literal trash in terms of MVs and songs,also cringy. That’s the only difference that really matters
Except for that one song Drake isn’t self aware at all lmao. The Weeknd shows the good and mostly the bad. He says himself that his lifestyle is incredibly toxic and that it shouldn’t be cheered on. A song like I’m too sexy on the other hand can’t be taken seriously lol
This is so intricately well made. I feel like you not only covered a lot of my own thoguhts as someone who grew up listening to drake but introduced me to things I didn’t even notice. Normally I’m heavily analytical but I am not joking when I say if I like an album I’ll finish it ASAP but the moment CLB came out and I saw the photo for it, I guessed what it was about. I put off listening to it for like 4 days, while seeing the usual Instagram stories of drake music on it and them thinking they’re way 2 sexy, seeing people riding the social media trend. It’s disgusting. All of my schoolmates who like this album bluntly don’t care about the meaning of it. They just say it sounds nice. These are the same people who love someone like Playboi CARTI. I listened to it when going to Niagara Falls on a 8 hour drive, since I had the album downloaded and was bored out my mind. Despite having insomnia and not being able to sleep much during the day ESPECIALLY IN CARS this album helped me to do so. That’s how humiliating it is. I tried finishing it when I woke up. I tried on the drive back home. To all the same, it was so incredibly terrible. If CLB gets nominated AOTY I am genuinely disappointed beyond my mind.
What the fuck is wrong with playboi carti nigga?
@@serotonin6404 if you enjoy carti that’s fine I mean I do enjoy a few of his old songs but to say he’s the best is a bit incorrect as he sits there and mumbles about the most random stuff, especially what with his helium voice in WLR. It can sound musically a vibe, but to say he’s very talented or one of the best is just wow
@@ArkhamWasTaken Dudes pushing a whole new genre of rap breh. i agree w u on old carti> new carti but like you gotta appreciate what bro’s doing i feel like. I was joking ab the angry tone tho lmao
@@serotonin6404 I mean I do listen to the some of the new songs as well. It’s a vibe, just not meant to be lyrical. I mean it’s mumble so it’s designed to be for pure vibes, I feel drake has been doing that except he doesn’t even mumble he actually raps these lyrics
Yes!!! Starboy does not get enough love! Abel is such a genius!!!
This dude is so fucking great, deserves more attention. And Btw at minute 10:21 there's a part of "A boy is a gun" music video. Next vid about Igor? If so I'm really excited
It’ll be one of the next ones for sure!
@@mintrommovies I know for sure it will be an incredible video
Drake: It’s your fucking birthday 💅
Certified 30yr old with a crush on an 18yr old
i thought certified lover boy was gon be this dark melodic lustful feeling album but it ended up being diss songs and tiktok clips
lil Nas X will NEVER be forgotten for that. The prison dance scene made my jaw DROP.
After listening to the album a few times over, I found a bunch of good songs I liked personally and I enjoy it with my speakers in my car! To each their own, I guess..
They’re just saying that it lacked a viable effort to make something outside of the typical regurgitated mainstream fast music…. And with all the budget in the world
@@DENDEAURA ohh I see. Well I throughly enjoyed just about every song except for two songs I didn’t really like. The rest I can stand, a few on repeat. But I agree, it’s brand new in that sort of way, no new direction or anything that’s outside the ‘music’ box. So I get that, as Uzi Very dropped a new song recently and it’s a whole new sound and I dig it.
same here, all this guy is talking about is how he knew drake was gonna make the same album as his last and how he just raps about girls? these people only listened to the album to hate on it, if they didnt want to hear more drake songs about women then why would they click on an album with his name on it and a bunch of women emojis on it and called ceritfied lover boy! (clearly is a drake album about women) haha, these guys in this comment section are lame and the guy that made this video needs to get a life and stop listening to music just to hate on it
@@cheeseballs9579 100% agree!! :)
Yea that's how I feel to great car songs to have
nah, there were definitely some skips but for the most part it was really good
CLB, Dark Lane Demo Tapes & Scorpion are just lackluster projects. Even More Life is barley decent
Nah More Life is solid. 7.5/10 to me
Way 2 sexy goes hard tho 😭
It’s a song made to be fun. And this nigga expecting a J.Cole 4 your eyez only type vibe with it. And I love Cole. But when that album came out, niggas denied it and said it was whack. Couple years later. It’s a cemented classic. People don’t let anything grow nowadays.
Great job, and I am from Toronto ! I just wish you would have commented on that shot of him on the treadmill with a mask on !! Thanks fr showing it anyhow or Id probably never would have known !
lmaooooo headlines was my fav song back in the day love that you used that one- what happened to that drake
Sad/funny part is Drake's best song on that album was "Yebba's Hearbreak"
Bro drake stopped trying after NWTS DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE
What about If You're Reading This? I liked What A Time To Be Alive also, but it feels more like a Future record to be honest.
Your reading this is too late has a few good songs but overall it’s bloated and is basically the formula drake would stick with from then on. Only getting worse with each project.
THANK YOU ! Nothing Was The Same had non stop bangers back to back
@@ONIFCstu123 IYRTITL had like 2 weak songs. Peach and 6God. Everything ranged from solid to classic
@@romaretaylor9953 respect your opinion but disagree.
I don’t like the album but “Way 2 Sexy” was a hit. No lie when I’m going out for the night and fly. I play that 😂 don’t judge me
Outstanding 5 star general review 👏 👏. You seriously know how to analyze with facts. ✊
Drake dropping hits and all of a sudden all you niggas care about is (content) and super in depth concepts
Now that drake popular asf he gotta make his music for everybody
little did he know what was coming
That’s shit hard I’m sorry u hatin but I’m praying for you
That testicle line killed me🤣🤣🤣
The album is very uninspired, but the nitpicking here is embarrassing. If you failed to catch how much RAPPING he’s doing, and missed the bars then say so. But don’t cry about his haircut and supposed ‘anonymous’ haters when you’re clearly one of them
Not really, you can tell he’s a fan, he’s just been disappointed that Drakes quality has drastically dropped.
@@fuziontonygaming if he was really a fan he would’ve used a better example of a great song than headlines which everyone knows. If he was really fan he wouldn’t be saying nobody cares about your personal life while saying he needs to talk about more shit
@@fuziontonygaming he obviously isn’t a fan lmao. Nor did he ever claim to be one
this is r/kanye in a nutshell
Facts buddy is butthurt over drake 😂
Drake was so so good when he first came out i used to listen all his song even though i listen to pop music more than Rap/hip hop but i know when a rapper has talent.
Personally i think his downfall started in 2016 when he dropped views.
I mean obvious views is masterpiece and much better than his latest albums but it was the first time that i felt that he was not doing something, then with scorpion it just got worse.
Then in 2020 whe he dropped toosie slide, i realized that this was not the drake from early 10's, it is like when someone does not grow up and just does not try to give quality and good music.
But he does not care that because he knows that he's going to get success anyways because he is, well you know DRAKE and people are going stream his music even if put out garbage
