Sep 3, 2021Fell asleep while listening to it, then bumped Donda and got the energy and motivation to run a Marathon and get my life together. 0/10. Also, cringy ass themes for a 33 year old
-
Sep 3, 2021Horrible repetitive album from Drake.
Very shallow music and nothing different showing he clearly hasn't grown sonically from his previous work and will accept mediocre as he knows the charts and shallow music fans will eat it up. -
Sep 3, 2021This album is just as bad. Even the features could revive it
-
Sep 3, 2021I don’t think I’ve heard something so horrible befors. Mediocre production and Drake being the worst he has ever been. I feel bad for the featured artists for taking part in this disaster of an album.
-
Sep 3, 2021Donda blows this out of the water. So much better. CLB is dull, very few good tracks.
-
Sep 3, 2021Corny album by corny guy. Drake has failed to grow as an artist and do something new. It’s been a decade of the same song over and over again. I wish for him to evolve, but what’s to be expected when an adult man refers to himself as a boy.

Sep 3, 2021Made me fall asleep halfway through the project lazy and lacking substance it's clear drake dosent care about quality anymore because he knows it will sell

Sep 3, 2021Album drags Made me fall sleep Such a disappointment
Makes views look like an actual classic -
Sep 3, 2021Beat choice was great, flows were odd to say the least some lyrics are just comically bad “she said she was a lesbian, me too”. some features phoned in their bars or just took over the song completely. The two songs that shined above the rest would be yebbas heart and IMY2, but that’s mostly because of the energy and heart of the featured artists.

Sep 3, 2021Disappointed to say the least.
Not sure if its because im not in love nor hate my ex but its been the same ol thing. -
Sep 3, 2021I'm sorry, but this one is disappointing and the album cover is complete trash, I could make the same album cover in like 1 minute
-
Sep 3, 2021My ears, oh god my ears. This was a genuinely painful experience. I don’t know why I expected it to be decent.
-
Sep 3, 2021Since Views , Drake decline a little by little. this album is good but i think, he could delete 4-5 songs on the album. I appreciate the vibe of most of the songs. i think 7/10 is good for this album
-
Sep 3, 2021Mesma música de sempre. Não inovou em nada nesse álbum.
Como fã de Drake me decepcionei nessa. Não consegui ouvir mais de 3 músicas porque são todas iguais -
Sep 3, 2021Really disappointing album. Drakes has played it safe here. No interesting storytelling or one liners really, same old production. Drakes needs to pick more interesting beats.

Sep 3, 2021Another L from drake this got no chance against donda, more underwater sounding filters and boring production that we’ve come to expect from drake, nothing different or new or really standout do better drake
-
Sep 3, 2021The level of creativity is so low
Possibly his worst album Even the big amount of features didn't carry it
I'm so disappointed -
Sep 3, 2021O início é muito bom, mas depois da quinta faixa soa repetitivo, primacialmente por que o foco do album é nas rimas e o drake tem uma voz meio cansada pra musicas rimando
-
Sep 3, 2021That was hard to get through. The most boring Drake has ever sounded in my recent memory. Uninspired and bored he goes. I honestly had more fun with that Donda album. It had enough weirdness to keep me awake. I guess Drake and Kanye decided they are not going to give Kwndeick any problems this year
-
Sep 3, 2021an album for which we waited a long time and it is not the result I expected, the collaborations are good and honestly they are the ones that save the album, similar songs and nonsense
-
Sep 3, 2021drake proving once again to be one of hip hop's greatest artists. there are great songs on this album. I loved!

Sep 3, 2021Terrible, terrible, terrible! Don’t listen to this rubbish, drake is a culture vulture always has been!
-
Sep 3, 2021Motonous trash. Never have I ever before fell asleep listening to a newly released album, highly anticipated at that?
F out of here! They played y'all, this artist is riding on the wave of the hate the other artist receives -
Sep 3, 2021His most stale, boring, uninspired piece of work yet. Thats really saying something too being that it’s Drake. Drakes comfortability being at the position he’s at in the industry really bleeds on this thing.

Oct 19, 2021It’s beige, hollow music and that’s what ultimately frustrates your dedicated rap listener because it doesn’t make sense why it’s so damn popular. When you throw the poor writing on top of this, and some real hit-and-miss production into the mix, “Certified Lover Boy” may well be Drake’s worst album.
-
Sep 13, 2021Drake comes across as an artist who’s bought into his mythos and persona a bit too ardently. ... The production on Certified Lover Boy is svelte yet airless, filled with lots of solemn piano lines and muted snares but absent of big flourishes or attempts at pop crossover. It’s an approach that’s likely aiming for tasteful restraint, but the effect is languid and rather directionless.
-
Sep 13, 2021Things start promisingly with the undulating Champagne Poetry dextrously reflecting on loneliness (“career is going great, but now the rest of me is fading slowly”), while Papi’s Home recalls early Kanye, of all people, with its sped-up samples and laid-back flow. Later, however, that playfulness calcifies into headline-grabbing stunts. ... This is an album destined to be filleted for various #mood playlists, anchored only by its creator’s untouchable fame.
