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, 2021I thought it was going to be Drake type from 2011 and 2013 but no, this album is definitely Scorpion pt 2 that simple. In songs that have feats it seems that Drake is the feat. Could be better.
-
Sep 3, 2021After a few play throughs it’s safe to say this album continues Drake’s lineage of dropping mediocre albums that are carried by a couple of stand out tracks. Boring overall with a few moments of greatness.

Sep 3, 20211 good song and 3 decent. Every else was a complete waste of time and precious AirPod battery. I’d rather listen to a ten hour loop of a kid screaming in Walmart than listen to this absolutely **** album. Drake is and always has been trash
-
Sep 3, 2021Is this supposed to be parody of himself? Drake, make something creative and not just something to try and get maximum airplay.

Sep 3, 2021This was 8.5 but to offset some of the most biased idiotic reviews here - I’m bump it up a bit.

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, 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, 2021Lazy Album, Drake doesn't come as evolved or as energetic. The album seems like a previous album, with no sense of creativity, which is disrespectful for the fans.
-
Sep 3, 2021Drake has been in a rut for the better part of a decade now producing the same album over and over again. The quality cast of features still isn’t enough to break him out of a slide in quality that began in 2016. All that being said Drake appears to have no motivation to further himself creatively when his same old sound makes him richer by the day.

Sep 3, 2021Esperava muito mais de um album do drake..
Nem as musicas com feat tão esperado, como travsi ficaram em um vibe boa.. pra um cantor que só canta musicas comerciais.
Apresenta musicas cansativas de se ouvir.
Musicas que não ouviriamos mais de 1 vez em 1 dia. -
Sep 3, 2021play this in your car if it has an excellent sound system early in the morning or late at night when it's dark out & no cars are on the road appreciate the fact that this album will make you cry and want to give drake a hug because of how good it is any negative review you see on here is all lies this album is hot man

Sep 3, 2021Genuinely the worst album I've ever heard in my entire time on this planet. Hope Drake somehow unreleases this, Chance the Rappers latest album was better than this.
-
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, 2021Decent album. Has some good moments.
I would recommend Papi's Home, Fair Trade and No Friends in The Industry as the standout tracks in the album. -
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, 2021It’s great. Nothing more to add, it’s just perfect. I loved it. The flow in every song is impecable. The features didn’t disappoint.
-
Sep 3, 2021Average drake album, most songs sound the same with lots of mid but with a couple of tiktok bangers it will get a ‘pass’ but highly disappointing album, still his best work since views
-
Sep 3, 2021pretty mid ngl, felt very uninteresting at points and overall nothing we haven't heard from Drake. some very cringe bars, one of Drakes weaker projects. Great potential features misused imo, just not a big fan tbh.
-
Sep 3, 2021“FAST FOOD MUSIC” This is what describes Drake’s music the best. Every song on this album follows a “Radio-friendly” “Hit” “TikTok” formula. He doesn’t take any creative risk. The album cover art by Damien Hirst is absolutely garbage, Kanye West’s Donda album cover (which is literally a black square) being miles better than whatever this was. Also, R. Kelly’s on here.

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, 2021Once again Drake drops a classic album. Like always it’s a mix of club bangers and slow songs. Drake seemingly can’t miss!!
-
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, 2021The most overrated artist of all time. His last good album was a decade ago.

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.
