All rights reserved. After a three-year layoff from his double-album Scorpion, on the wee hours of Friday morning Sept. Unlike his predecessor, which boasted a bevy of singles before its release date, Drizzy didn't release any records ahead of his sixth album.
Instead, he kept fans enthralled by teasing the project's features on billboards placed across various cities. Oozing with a handful of '90s samples, including a controversial interpolation of R. And while Drizzy's penchant for throwback samples takes precedent, Drake's CLB doesn't shy away from his favorite topics: women, success, and family. On the track project, he also continues his lyrical skirmish with current adversary Kanye West.
Despite his war-ready swagger, Drizzy inevitably finds a happy medium and gives fans everything they've been waiting for on CLB. Check out our track rankings for his new album below. In hopes of breaking free from the doghouse, he apologizes to his previous partners for his constant slip-ups. Though bragging about fan love has always been a famous pastime for artists, here Drake shuns that notion and vows to do better.
On "No Friends in the Industry," Drake's onslaught against his contemporaries continues. While he doesn't take direct shots at anyone specifically, he feels that his gripes are warranted, considering he remains a top target in hip-hop feuds. Still, this record won't likely move the needle against his foes and better serves as one for venting.
However, Giveon's performance later on provides much-needed steam to what was originally a lackluster effort.
After coming off their epic collaboration "Sicko Mode," "Fair Trade" is a significant letdown, if only because Drizzy and La Flame took fans to an unmeasurable level the first go-round. While Drizzy's smooth sonics are the highlight of CLB , here's the one moment you wished he and Travis went nuclear on the production front. Luckily, Future is there to lasso him back into reality with his second appearance on the album, though it isn't enough to save the love-drunk MC.
With a Grammy win to her name, Drake takes the backseat and gives her room to shine on the album's interlude. Ashamed to be a leader and hero to so many while admitting I've been living a lie. People who used the hashtag talked about how to work against the toxic masculinity teaching that black men cannot and should not feel anything.
The Canadian rapper's response? But Cudi chose to face his reality. In actuality, Cudi ran toward assistance in the bravest and loudest way possible. By publicly sharing and detailing his challenges, Cudi helped normalize mental health conditions, which so many millions of people live with every day.
We know too much about how prevalent mental health issues are, and how important and courageous it is to seek help when you have them, to belittle doing so — not to mention, to misrepresent what it is to seek treatment. But I'm actually not that guy in real life.
I'm very happy. I'm not content by any means, I mean, I want to keep working, but I'm a happy person. I'm very excited. My life is constantly exciting. It's not some sad, depressing story.
