People who say Drake is carried by features have not listened to “TSU” while it may not be Drake’s most complex song, it’s pretty amazing by this album’s standard. For example, Drake says, “I got a Drac’ in the studio, and I don’t just mean that I’m in this b***h.”ĭrake serenades listeners with the classic Drake melody at the end of “TSU” which adds to the song’s greatness. The beat of this song is one of the best on Certified Lover Boy. This song has received some criticism, however, because it has a minute of mumbling before it actually begins. “TSU” is another song that has been very well received by listeners. On the other hand, Nebenzahl notes that “way 2 Sexy” is “hard to beat with Future and Young Thug being featured on the song.” While the song most likely has no deeper meaning like Stephens mentions, Drake most likely included the lyrics to be cold instead of significant. “Although it has the city boy flow, the lyrical genius that is Drake is just non-existent in this song, most of the lyrics in the song have no deeper meaning,” Stephens says. “Way 2 Sexy” with Future and Young Thug may be the most controversial song on the album. It quickly turns into a hard beat, making the song one of the must-haves on a playlist. Travis Scott’s part only gets better when the beats switch up. He mentions how all his altercations caused him to grow while claiming he’s an original on the rap scene, but he’s feeling young. Honestly, with a Travis Scott feature it is very hard to flop. “Fair Trade” featuring Travis Scott is a favorite. JAY-Z’s part expresses some hardships that he has experienced with some of his friends. It exposes that he was being exploited for his money and how this built his foundation.
“Love All” with JAY-Z has a melancholy tone. However, there is a brief interlude where the beat is played on an electric guitar, which sounds amazing. Lil Durk kills his verse however, Giveon’s lines are not great, and he is underutilized. Drake is monotone during the chorus and the beat is simple. The end of “Girls Want Girls” leaves a great transition for the next song “In The Bible” with Giveon and Lil Durk. Unfortunately, his non-chorus lines are not meaningful, and the beat and chorus are basic. Drake, however, is disappointing on this song yet again. “Girls Want Girls” with Lil Baby follows “Papi’s Home.” Lil Baby is a talented rapper and his verse in this song is outstanding. A continuation of the strangeness of this song. It was more a speech about her needing child support. It also features a small interlude from Nicki Minaj, but she was not rapping. The lyrics read, “To all my sons worldwide… I apologize for my absence, I know I left you without a name to drop.” However, “Papi’s Home” has a great, uplifting beat. “Papi’s Home” begins with a weird monologue apologizing to all his sons around the world he wasn’t there for.
It is probably one of Drake’s worst albums,” says OH junior Edward Stephens. “Compared to other albums like Scorpion and More Life, CLB is utter trash. Others support the notion that Certified Lover Boy is not up to par with other albums that Drake has released in the past. “CLB is good, but compared to Drake’s other projects, this is not very good,” commented Olympic Heights junior Andrew Nebenzahl. While the lyrics were great, Drake’s fans hold him at a higher standard.
It’s very catchy for the first three minutes but after that, the background becomes an issue. This pairs with the gospel that’s faintly present.
In the background of this beat is a high-pitched auto-tuned voice repeating a set of lines. It opens with a bar of his son which seems to be the focal point of Certified Lover Boy. Similarly, Kanye West’s album, Donda, features songs such as “Off The Grid” and “God Breathed” that are over five minutes long. The album opens with the song “Champagne Poetry.” This song is over five minutes long which is a common occurrence on some albums. Some of the songs are utterly amazing, and some create a melancholy tone on Drake’s part. Some critics and fans deem it as the album of the year while others believe it’s one-dimensional and basic. Drake’s highly anticipated sixth album, Certified Lover Boy, was released on Sept.
