It was a lazy effort;

-The album art literally speaks for itself smh

-He used 3 leaks that we’ve had for over a year now

-It sounds like he was rapping sitting down instead of standing up, his voice sounds winded, monotone, and not as aggressive as he usually does (ex Knife Talk should’ve been soooo much harder than what it was. He sounds soft on this beat, he needed to sound more angry like on some Worst behavior tone s***)

-Idk if bros vocals are deteriorating over time but he used entirely TOO MUCH auto tune. Bro was sounding like he can’t sing at all

-Too many features

-No album sequencing at all

-No growth in sound, flows, or content

-Idk how tf he didn’t lay a verse on Yebba’s song 🤦🏽‍♂️ like seriously

-Again (since Views released) he’s still trying to please his entire fan base instead of just making an
Album he wants

-Fillers, fillers, and more Fillers. It sounds like he just through any songs together to make this

-He’s still “beefing” with Kanye 😴 like where was all this energy with Push ? Everybody knows Drake is better than Kanye currently, it’s annoying af and honestly just a marketing tactic

-No OVO features smh (PND or Majid)

-No night time sounding music (which is why I fell in love with bros music in the first place)

• His flow on songs aren't as... I don't even know what's the word for it but he doesn't flow as effortlessly and continuously as he used to. Like for example the last verse on 10 Bands or first verse of Furthest Thing. Now He does this stupid thing now where he pauses in his verses multiple times and really kills the momentum and makes it awkward.
• He doesn't have nearly as good melodies or hooks anymore.
• Sounds bored on almost every single track nowadays. He used to rap and sing with so much passion, hunger and charisma. He sounds so lifeless now.
• Uses autotune way too much now. I miss when he'd have beautiful singing songs with well written lyrics. Like compare songs like HOWGH, Feel No Ways, Now & Forever, Marvins Room, Shot For Me, Doing It Wrong, Days In The East, Girls Love Beyonce or My Side to songs like Peak, Finesse, After Dark, Pipe Down, In The Bible, Girls Want Girls or F***ing Fans. Now his singing is autotuned messes and the lyrics have gotten either not nearly as good or pretty corny.
• Subject matter never changing or evolving is probably the worst offense. I don't need him to completely switch up and like never rap about the things he usually raps about but there needs to be at least SOME songs that break the mold and showcase his creativity. It would be nice but I'm not even saying he has to rap about politics or world issues or anything like that but my god rap about ANYTHING other than your stripper/ig model flings/girlfriends, love for your boys, your mom being sick, the fact that you on top and the cons that come with it, your opps, betrayal, the toll of fame, etc.
• Beats have been dry to me for the most part. It's super weird because it's not like they are bad but they always feel like they are missing something to make them kick. Like the difference between Tuscan Leather and Champagne Poetry. His albums used to have such beautiful production and now they sound as lifeless as him.
• His song structuring used to be way more elaborate and unique. Old Drake would have never had a 2 minute intro like Survival or stop at 1 verse on a song like Papi's Home. He never used to miss a songs potential. Like imagine if Come Thru ain't have that outro or 10 Bands stopped at those 2 short verses or if Days In the East and Marvins Room ain't have those last rap/sung verses where he spazzed. Most of his songs now feel like they missing another part to them.
• He keeps rapping with the same old people like Future & Migos or the new style niggas like Lil Baby, Gunna and Durk and they usually don't bring out the best in him at all. It's getting hella boring I wish he'd switch up and do more songs with rappers that push him like Freddie Gibbs, JID, Tyler, Benny, etc. Wish he'd collab with more female artists too like Kehlani, Jhene, Summer, Doja, Rico Nasty, Meg, etc.
• He doesn't care about making actual albums anymore. Every project after IYRTITL feel like playlists and gives the excuse that he needs to give all different types of songs on one project when he really doesn't. He's shown multiple times he's willing to release loosies, EPs, and mixtapes. He has multiple mediums to spread out the different types of songs on.

I think the issue was we were lead to believe it would be a “grand opus” with the trailer and insider info, but we just ended up with A Drake album not THE Drake album.

I’m not lying about liking his music. You’re a f***ing idiot. People can like music that you don’t. Donda isn’t subjectively better than CLB. YOU do not get to decide that. I like Donda but the subject matter is boring and is fake deep.

Might be time to bring in some co-writers/co-producers from other areas of music. Work with some different kind of artists

He just has to lock in with 40 and 1da and do DRAKE and not let others get in the way of that.

I HATE WHEN DRAKE RAPS
DRAKE SINGS TOO MUCH
DRAKE IS A POP ARTIST
DRAKE DOESN'T EVEN WRITE HIS OWN SONGS
DRAKE TOOK AN L
DRAKE DIDN'T START FROM THE BOTTOM
DRAKE IS FINISHED
I LIKE DRAKE'S OLDER STUFF
DRAKE MAKES MUSIC FOR GIRLS
DRAKE THINKS HE'S JAMAICAN
DRAKE IS AN ACTOR
DRAKE CHANGED
ANYBODY ELSE > DRAKE …

YEAH YEAH WE KNOW

The subject matter not evolving bit is a corny take. He raps about money, girls, cars, being the best, and his opps like all rappers do…..

Wtf yall want him to rap about changing Adonis diapers or waking up in the middle of the night to feed him?

He hasn’t really evolved since VIEWS. Everything feels so...corporate and soulless now. Even though CLB has tracks I genuinely like, as an overall album it’s pretty meh and I don’t think it’s going to be appreciated like VIEWS down the line.
