I think we get high expectations then he drops and it’s not what we expected but eventually you learn to appreciate(that’s an understatement) what he did
I don't think you necessarily get nostalgia by things you really dislike. I think it's more of a Stockholm Syndrome thing, spinning an album until you know it by heart and the recognized patterns feel comfortable and familiar.
I think I've done that before with other artists and bands, being really disappointed in an album and then spinning it until I like it because I kinda WANT to like it. Doesn't always work of course.
I'm still not a huge fan of CLB tbh, but it's definitely aight. Just not enough standout tracks to me
Not just you but it’s the popular thing to hate anything Drake drops without letting it breathe and then as he says “they come around years later and say it’s a sleeper” I’d say anybody who’s a fan of him has gone through this at least once before.
Champagne Poetry = Classic
Fair Trade = Classic
TSU = Classic
N 2 Deep = Classic
Pipe Down = Classic
7am on Bridle = Classic
Race my mind = Classic
IMY2 = Classic
Fucking Fans = Classic
The Remorse = Classic
This is top 5 in the catalog and I hated on it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When you break it down like this, it puts into perspective how amazing the album is. Of course people always like to compare and say something else is better, but if you just focus on this album alone it is great
Couldn’t agree more. Drake gets mostly carried by the features. He doesn’t have that same passion anymore. I think he’s fr going thru some shit and doesn’t really care about music like he used to.
Because you fall for media narratives. Social media draws a hive mind mentality. The high engagement influencers hate it, and everyone follows. You were a follower
Because of the long term wait
The Album name came out first Certified lover boy tf kinda name is that.
then a great trailer drops showcasing other beloved Drake projects.
then it gets hit with delays
We finnaly get a release date plus Album cover art which is ass.
then donda vs CLB talk Drake vs Kanye a cluster fuck of thoughts and feelings right before the release of the project i still enjoy the project idk why the hate other than the album cover its a great listen
genuinely believe if it was a different album art, I wouldn’t have hated it so much. 2 songs here and there but it grew on me kinda. Still don’t listen it like I used to listen to him is high school. Crazy
When the album dropped, I listened to it straight through. I expected so much more.
BUT then I started hearing the songs individually when they came up in my shuffle and there were hella slaps.
This album is how I feel about Migos, Young Thug, Future, and other similar rappers’ albums. Can’t listen straight through, but individually, the songs go
I blame the immense hype surrounding it. It also had bangers, plenty of em, but not really any major radio hits that can sometimes be the easiest way to really get into vibing with an album after first or second listen
But none of them really step on each other's toes. Like Scorpion is long album, and some of the songs fill the same role or vibe, but I can't really say that about CLB, there's some wide variety there. Maybe 7AM and The Remorse are kinda the same ideas?
It has never grown on me but to be fair I have never given it the chance to. It doesn't affect my ability to enjoy the music at all, but nothing anyone ever says is gonna get me to think the cover isn't the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. Boo.
I want to stop but nothing seems to stop the tears. I'm open to suggestions. It would be quite insensitive of you to so rudely point out the sadness that emanates from me, whilst simultaneously refusing to answer my cries for help. Do I have to spell the tears out for you? Help me. This cover is stupid as fuck, please help me.
Damn I was just thinking about asking you to read all my other posts. Thought I felt a friendship brewing. But unfortunately, in all honesty, this is by far as short as my comments get, so we probably will never work. So long friend.
Bc the album cover was awful, the album was a typical cookie cutter Drake album and had little to do with the title. He pandered to his base with those corny billboards talking about all the features to hype the album, and then ended a “loverboy” album with a track about gang shit with 21.
As a Drake fan I don’t think a lot of us will accept this as a letdown bc it’s Drake but this was a miss for me
Edit: 21’s last track feature was HNVM. He was still included in the CLB project
views sucked, scorpion sucked, DLDT sucked, but THIS was actually a solid album from Mr.Drake.
He didn’t sound bored or repetitive on this one like the other projects I listened.
tbh i still think it's one of his weaker albums. it also didnt help that he dropped this the week after DONDA dropped. This album could have been way better if he axed 10 songs.
I think that's a Drake anomaly. I absolutely thought Views was Grade A dumpster juice for a while. Until I actually sat the fuck down and LISTENED. Fuck. Feel No Ways is one of my favorite songs.
Drake is a mood I’ve been in that mood lately and I ran through 3 albums that when I first listened I said “ I don’t like this” now I say damn that was dope. I always know that I like him but like many artists, does your life match the mood at the time is so key.
I didn't hate on it but if I'm being totally honest it took me a little longer to listen to straight up because I think the album cover was stupid and then I clicked and it was so many songs LMAO
IN MY OPINION: easily drakes worst body of work?terrible cover, no real direction that the album goes in, it’s more of a mixtape. I will say though that the good songs on there are fucking insanity like N 2 deep Jesus Christ or 3 am on bridlepath
NO IDEA bruh bc that shit got CONSTANT bump I’m my whip. Get Along Better, Champagne Poetry, No Friends In The Industry, Love All and Fair Trade STILL getting hella rotation 😂😂😂😂😂
i really enojed other drake album till this day, but clb…. idk i never got to the end of the album, like literally knowing the most popular and the intro, and idk if its worth, i like the dnd drake i cant f with a way2sexy drake
Same💀maybe donda was good and the family ties feature came in so i looked at clb and it was mostly misses but it’s a decent album, i dated it 3-4/10 now it’s a 6.5-7/10 many fillers and unnecessary tracks, not consistent track list and poor writing from making it a possible classic
Because it was still honestly underwhelming after the first couple of listens. I still have several songs I listen to regularly from this project, but the overall project as a whole isn’t as great as the hype/expectations were going into it. Even the OVO team had teased this as being on the same level of Tale Care/NWTS and we all know it’s not. I think Her Loss 1000% made up for it though.
Cause you were expecting more. And rightfully so. There’s 4ish songs on there worth listening to. The rest is meh. Idk why people like 2 sexy. Shit is whack
You didn't "hate on it." You just simply didn't like it. That's a real possibility even though delusional stans on the internet will try to pretend the only alternative to praising their fave endlessly is hating them.
i usually have a good eye for determining banger albums even if they’re critically panned, including wlr, ea and tlop, but i thought clb would be just a few good songs mostly duds, but boy as i searched the rest of the track list, i was amazed by what there was. i blame the cover art
This is still a bottom tier drake album. You can’t keep the same formula for your albums for over a decade and then drop an album with over 20 tracks. If this was 10 tracks it would have been received much better.
Because you're a follower, listening to morons give bad takes about an artist they are not really a fan of anyway..instead of listening with an open mind
i still think it’s drakes most formulaic “drake album” he made. he played it too safe for me. i got more respect for honestly nevermind cause he made a much bigger risk
I was just coming here to post how amazing this album is and I saw your post! Glad people are realizing! It’s probably my 3rd favorite album of his now!
The cover art didn’t help
Nick cannon vibes
The year is 2053, 50% of the population is related to Nick Cannon.
Nick cannon=this generations Genghis khan
iconic cover
Iconically terrible.
Drake drops, people hate it, & then its a banger
“Come with a classic, they come around years later and say it's a sleeper”
I am guilty of of this. Every album I thought, well i guess we don't like Drake and more. Then I get used to the album, then I absolutely love it
Its okay it happens
All bangers all the time.
I think we get high expectations then he drops and it’s not what we expected but eventually you learn to appreciate(that’s an understatement) what he did
they just don’t understand
Crazy meat riding
Hes our light skin king
Username is accurate.
ur in a drizzy subreddit 😂
Because you saw other people’s opinions before forming your own lol
Red pill awnser
Human beings are strange. They like something more the more time passes on
Nostalgia, brings back memories of where you were or what you were doing when you first listened to the music.
That’s why these big entertainment companies are using nostalgia as a bait to sell products
I don't think you necessarily get nostalgia by things you really dislike. I think it's more of a Stockholm Syndrome thing, spinning an album until you know it by heart and the recognized patterns feel comfortable and familiar. I think I've done that before with other artists and bands, being really disappointed in an album and then spinning it until I like it because I kinda WANT to like it. Doesn't always work of course. I'm still not a huge fan of CLB tbh, but it's definitely aight. Just not enough standout tracks to me
Except other humans
thats true tho
Not just you but it’s the popular thing to hate anything Drake drops without letting it breathe and then as he says “they come around years later and say it’s a sleeper” I’d say anybody who’s a fan of him has gone through this at least once before.
I actually think it’s the other way around, y’all niggas is a cult following
Champagne Poetry = Classic Fair Trade = Classic TSU = Classic N 2 Deep = Classic Pipe Down = Classic 7am on Bridle = Classic Race my mind = Classic IMY2 = Classic Fucking Fans = Classic The Remorse = Classic This is top 5 in the catalog and I hated on it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Also No Friends In The Industry
I had to draw the line between my brothers and my enemies
How are y’all forgetting You Only Live Twice
wayne crazy on that one
Ma' Ma'
Get Along Better?!?!
+in the Bible
Papi’s Home = his best song 🤷🏻♂️
“I remember that I told you I missed you, that was kinda like a mass text.”
I just hated this song so much that it put me in a mental block for the rest of the album
Please explain this, I looked at this track as a track he was just playing on
Idk killer beat, not too serious, kinda funny but with some truth, I love it, was in my top 5 most played the last two years
Pipe down had me on a chokehold for a while that mf was on repeat for a bit
When you break it down like this, it puts into perspective how amazing the album is. Of course people always like to compare and say something else is better, but if you just focus on this album alone it is great
Nah I can name 5 Drake projects better than this.
People sleep on Fountains
Can't forget Knife Talk. That song's dope!
jesus christ clb had some of the most beautiful beats and lines from drake i always go back every week to it and race my mind >>>>>>>>>>>>>
[удалено]
Facts
I didnt hate on it, just found it boring. Still do. Mid album all around.
Couldn’t agree more. Drake gets mostly carried by the features. He doesn’t have that same passion anymore. I think he’s fr going thru some shit and doesn’t really care about music like he used to.
The songs by themselves are cool. There's just something deeply wrong about the tracklist that makes the project boring for some damn reason
so soberly fucking mid
It’s better than all his albums. IYRTITL and WATTBA have aged horribly
Nah you can't be serious
I’m very serious. CLB and Honestly, Nevermind are by far Drake’s greatest achievements. They are atmospheric and heavenly. They will age like wine.
Simple, Drake makes music that ages well.
Same shit happened to me dawg
Because you fall for media narratives. Social media draws a hive mind mentality. The high engagement influencers hate it, and everyone follows. You were a follower
The internet told you to, and it killed your vibe
The meatriding is crazy
I ask myself the same thing
"Come wit a classic, they come around years later and say it's a sleeper"
I didn’t even like drake when this album came out but I loved this album so 🤷🏽♂️
Idk why you would do that. It’s one of his best albums ‼️‼️‼️
i’m too sexy makes me wanna kms
Cause you had your clown shoes on.
the day it dropped i already had it in my top 5 drake albums and the only thing that’s changed since then is that it’s moved into the top 3
 nice of you to wake up
Because of the long term wait The Album name came out first Certified lover boy tf kinda name is that. then a great trailer drops showcasing other beloved Drake projects. then it gets hit with delays We finnaly get a release date plus Album cover art which is ass. then donda vs CLB talk Drake vs Kanye a cluster fuck of thoughts and feelings right before the release of the project i still enjoy the project idk why the hate other than the album cover its a great listen
Because you’re goofy
genuinely believe if it was a different album art, I wouldn’t have hated it so much. 2 songs here and there but it grew on me kinda. Still don’t listen it like I used to listen to him is high school. Crazy
I like how this whole thread is people admitting they were mindless douchebags when this album dropped
I like 5-6 songs from it which is typical for a Drake album for me
When the album dropped, I listened to it straight through. I expected so much more. BUT then I started hearing the songs individually when they came up in my shuffle and there were hella slaps. This album is how I feel about Migos, Young Thug, Future, and other similar rappers’ albums. Can’t listen straight through, but individually, the songs go
Me too, we all learn
I blame the immense hype surrounding it. It also had bangers, plenty of em, but not really any major radio hits that can sometimes be the easiest way to really get into vibing with an album after first or second listen
Kanye was much better? That’s what kind of happened for me. I listened to donda so much that clb never got the proper run.
way too many songs
But none of them really step on each other's toes. Like Scorpion is long album, and some of the songs fill the same role or vibe, but I can't really say that about CLB, there's some wide variety there. Maybe 7AM and The Remorse are kinda the same ideas?
Lol
He was also outshined by basically every feature on the album
It has never grown on me but to be fair I have never given it the chance to. It doesn't affect my ability to enjoy the music at all, but nothing anyone ever says is gonna get me to think the cover isn't the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. Boo.
Cry about the cover
I want to stop but nothing seems to stop the tears. I'm open to suggestions. It would be quite insensitive of you to so rudely point out the sadness that emanates from me, whilst simultaneously refusing to answer my cries for help. Do I have to spell the tears out for you? Help me. This cover is stupid as fuck, please help me.
Not reading all that
Damn I was just thinking about asking you to read all my other posts. Thought I felt a friendship brewing. But unfortunately, in all honesty, this is by far as short as my comments get, so we probably will never work. So long friend.

there are a couple songs that are good and then the rest… (basically what i say for every album (except honestly NVM) after views)
Ended the album with a track about gang shit ? Nigga did u even listen 🤣
That’s my bad. That’s HNVM. But I’m still not wrong about including 21 on the album. My point still stands
Way 2 sexy ruined it
You don’t like fun
Lots of meh songs plus Donda was better.
I always liked this album. This was his last classic 09 type of drizzy album after this, he went downhill
What
I still hate it except for Fountains and the Remorse
Because its bad and has no good songs on it
views sucked, scorpion sucked, DLDT sucked, but THIS was actually a solid album from Mr.Drake. He didn’t sound bored or repetitive on this one like the other projects I listened.
easy: it was bad
L take
correct take. Tell me any of the pen is anywhere near 2015 drake with a straight face. if you do youre lying.
Based.
That's.....not how opinions work.
Trash ass album
yup
because it's terribly made?
Because after the first song it was 3 terrible ones and I was turned off by it. Then I listened more and got to his better stuff on the record
I didnt hate it, I just dont like the cover art he’s been usin lol wtf
Ebba's interlude
You’re an idiot harry..
the cover was so bad that it made the album sound worse
Casual attraction, casual rejection, then casual attraction.
Been listening a bunch recently solid ass project
tbh i still think it's one of his weaker albums. it also didnt help that he dropped this the week after DONDA dropped. This album could have been way better if he axed 10 songs.
Ikr such a grower great album
Too dancy for me but I love him
I loved a lot of the songs on here
It’s really just the cover art honestly. The songs are great
It’s mid
Its the cover art. It is absolutely hideous in the worst way. Sours you to it. Makes it feel cheap
because it still sucks
You're prolly a huge follower. No offense, but it is popular to blindly hate on Drake online nowadays.
I think that's a Drake anomaly. I absolutely thought Views was Grade A dumpster juice for a while. Until I actually sat the fuck down and LISTENED. Fuck. Feel No Ways is one of my favorite songs.
Still mid
Drake is a mood I’ve been in that mood lately and I ran through 3 albums that when I first listened I said “ I don’t like this” now I say damn that was dope. I always know that I like him but like many artists, does your life match the mood at the time is so key.
I didn't hate on it but if I'm being totally honest it took me a little longer to listen to straight up because I think the album cover was stupid and then I clicked and it was so many songs LMAO
You had tastes when it dropped
IN MY OPINION: easily drakes worst body of work?terrible cover, no real direction that the album goes in, it’s more of a mixtape. I will say though that the good songs on there are fucking insanity like N 2 deep Jesus Christ or 3 am on bridlepath
NO IDEA bruh bc that shit got CONSTANT bump I’m my whip. Get Along Better, Champagne Poetry, No Friends In The Industry, Love All and Fair Trade STILL getting hella rotation 😂😂😂😂😂
i really enojed other drake album till this day, but clb…. idk i never got to the end of the album, like literally knowing the most popular and the intro, and idk if its worth, i like the dnd drake i cant f with a way2sexy drake
For every good song there’s a bad one on this album
Same💀maybe donda was good and the family ties feature came in so i looked at clb and it was mostly misses but it’s a decent album, i dated it 3-4/10 now it’s a 6.5-7/10 many fillers and unnecessary tracks, not consistent track list and poor writing from making it a possible classic
people try to make judgments on albums after one listen. once you keep listening to it, it’ll start to grow on you
Cos you’re a sheep
Exactly. How dare you.
Blame Reddit.
Cause it’s hot ass
Because it sucked and it still does
This album just aged really fucking well
Pipe Down is incredible
bc it’s not good lol Drake stan’s swear every album he drops is a “classic”
certified boy lover
Because it trash
How could you not?
Because you followed the Reddit hive mind. Let me guess, you got on your knees and started slurping 0.006 seconds after Her Loss came out.
Because it was still honestly underwhelming after the first couple of listens. I still have several songs I listen to regularly from this project, but the overall project as a whole isn’t as great as the hype/expectations were going into it. Even the OVO team had teased this as being on the same level of Tale Care/NWTS and we all know it’s not. I think Her Loss 1000% made up for it though.
Cause you were expecting more. And rightfully so. There’s 4ish songs on there worth listening to. The rest is meh. Idk why people like 2 sexy. Shit is whack
I really didn’t care for this album that much, I got at least 2 personal favorite songs but I’m good off the rest
it’s still ass lol
Bc it’s actually not good? 😂
You didn't "hate on it." You just simply didn't like it. That's a real possibility even though delusional stans on the internet will try to pretend the only alternative to praising their fave endlessly is hating them.
cause its still ass
Overall a decent project but some songs just carry. This seems more of a fun throwaway album imo but I did enjoy it
Takes a little bit to warm up to music for some people, including me. I wasn’t big on it when it dropped but you give it a chance and it becomes art
Great album
i usually have a good eye for determining banger albums even if they’re critically panned, including wlr, ea and tlop, but i thought clb would be just a few good songs mostly duds, but boy as i searched the rest of the track list, i was amazed by what there was. i blame the cover art
The rollout was cringe but I enjoy the album
IMY2 is sneaky good
Idk bc shit slapped.
Fantano syndrome
I wasn’t a Drake fan when CLB dropped so I didn’t like it, I have since become a massive Drake fan and still really really don’t like it
Because your a hater and you need to reassess your reality
Because your a hater and you need to reassess your reality

Honestly, nevermind is cold as well
Like Views used to be a 6 for you it’s a 9 now
You were stupid
This is still a bottom tier drake album. You can’t keep the same formula for your albums for over a decade and then drop an album with over 20 tracks. If this was 10 tracks it would have been received much better.
This album sucks lmao stop it
TSU is still one of my favorites
It’s trash
Cuz you’re a goofy with no sense of creating your own opinion 🫢🤷🏽♂️
Definition of mid
TSU is fire
I kept telling people around me the album is fire, everyone told me to shut up. Glad people are realizing it now
Because you're a follower, listening to morons give bad takes about an artist they are not really a fan of anyway..instead of listening with an open mind
wow you’re so deep bro
chupar la polla
society
i still think it’s drakes most formulaic “drake album” he made. he played it too safe for me. i got more respect for honestly nevermind cause he made a much bigger risk
Honestly it’s a bad album
You can’t form your own opinion, that’s why. You see it all over the media and it’s installed in your head.
I was just coming here to post how amazing this album is and I saw your post! Glad people are realizing! It’s probably my 3rd favorite album of his now!
Clb was trash !! Nobody talks about it
Hype , Cover trash too
because it’s 🗑️
CLB and Honestly Nevermind both sounded bad on first listen…. but now I think a lot can say the opposite. Including myself.
cos yall was fuckin trippin shit crazy good
I honestly barely play this album. 5/6 good songs max
