Sep 4, 2021Uninspired and repetitive. This is easily drakes worst album. The first listen was hard, the second was even more so, the third.... Well I was out like DJ Akademiks. Only about 4 songs worth listening too, the rest is a snooze fest of songs that sound like B sides from views. I should have judged this album by its cover.

Sep 4, 2021Too fire. While people believe that this is the ‘same old drake’ , that’s what he was going for. This wasn’t supposed to be something u can blast and head bang in your car too. He’s bringing back the old drake that you listen to when u get your heart broken. Fire.

Sep 4, 2021Enjoyed it, may not be his best but people hating too much. Give it a couple listens then we’ll talk because I remember when people were hating on Donda too

Sep 4, 2021Just drake being the same boring drake… I was hoping for something new. After listening to it twice I had to wonder how anybody could find this interesting. Drake must be thanking god for people with odd taste in music

Sep 4, 2021was every song copy pasted ? lmao that is what it feels like.But im not giving a 0 just for the trolls.Some tracks were good but at the time you came to those tracks you already fell as sleep.The best tracks is were drake was serious and not his playboy style.

Sep 4, 2021Don't listen at 8am on your phone. Turn it up! Some songs could get cut for sure, but some songs can be listened to like 10 times back there are just so many barz. Another Drake album where he feels the pressure to appeal to everybody, and the arrogance to appeal to nobody in particular either.

Sep 4, 20210 out of 10. Worst album I’ve ever heard. Drake, make better music or don’t drop music at all. This is pure garbage and I miss the person I was before I heard this. So much hype for such mediocre songs. Drake needs to be stopped. Anyways stream DONDA, a real masterpiece.

Sep 4, 2021Nothing too special, very repetitive and some goofy lyrics. The features would make you think it’s a straight rap album, however it’s pretty rnb-ish. It’s not terrible, just nothing crazy. Also the long awaited giannis line was weak, saw people on Instagram comment sections make better lines about him.

Sep 4, 2021Drake and Kanye should retire from music so should most men in the music industry. If you want to cleanse your ears after hearing this, listen to Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus!

Sep 4, 2021Donda > CLB Every day
Casual Drake nothing else
I'm sure this album will be one of the most overrated album ever. -
Sep 4, 2021Drake once again comes through with an album that at its core is perfectly fine, if he hadn't already released it 2 times before. While most of the songs on this thing are decent and exactly what you would expect from a drake album, the fact that he hasn't innovated or tried doing anything new in years speaks to his artistic integrity.

Sep 4, 2021When I heard the intro sample and the beat I expected a certified classic. The first 2 minutes of the album were perfect. After that it was the regular album cut drake for the whole 1.4 hours. Boring album with no chances taken. But Drakes bad is better than most so it’s a strong 5.
-
Sep 4, 2021Literally another Scorpion, no progression in his sound whatsoever. The same formula for everything he puts every time out. After bringing such momentum with Scary Hours 2, and other features and singles, it's a very underwhelming release.
-
Sep 4, 2021It's amazing how all of these reviews come out in just a day. Giving albums time to breathe doesn't exist anymore I guess lol. The album was shaky after the first listen but it gets better and better with more listens.

Sep 4, 2021VERY BORING!!! drake continues to realise underwhelming music. the only reason he breaks record id because his name is drake.
-
Sep 4, 2021So bland. Drake hasn’t evolved in the past 6 years. In fact his albums have got gradually worse each time since Nothing Was The Same.

Sep 3, 2021There is maybe 1 or 2 songs at best, that i want to come back to and play multiple times.
Such a disappointing album. -
Sep 3, 2021Same old nonsense from a Mans who music hasn’t evolved in almost a decade
-
Sep 3, 2021Album doesn’t have a track to keep you engaged. Although it’s a long album it feels been longer with drawn out boring melodies . Might be good to put children to sleep
-
Sep 3, 2021He gave us the same album again with more artist that bought nothing to it. Really didn't expected much from Drake as of recent months to years he's been putting out the same songs over and over.

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.
