Being a dedicated fan, it's not something you can do with everyone. I think I know maybe 7 Drake songs, and they're great, but I have no interest in checking out an album. Maybe I just got burned by so many 90's artists putting out two singles and 18 tracks of ****, but now that I'm not dropping $20 for those two songs, I only spend time on things that get me out of bed.

That and most Drake songs just make me wonder about ex-girlfriends and where they are now, and if they ever think of me, and how fun my 20s were.

I am that way also, with streaming services now, we get everything at anytime. For just $12 a month, I get every ****ing song ever! When CDs were going, you had to buy that whole album for the song you liked and than maybe another random. Couldnt even listen before you bought, **** was wack. Glad we have streaming now.

Nelly new album > Drake new album....

I only listened to the first track in passing and it was fine background music. But this is a brutal review, Mindful. Not saying it's unwarranted, but as reviews go it's getting close to "elbow drop from the top rope" level.

I'm no Drake hater but his new album just aint doin it for me. Nothing Was the Same is still his peak imo.

Drake 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.

wtf, Drake just surprise dropped a house album?

This is...actually pretty good. Haven't heard the whole album though.

This isn't bad. And for Drake that's high praise.
