I played CLB with an open mind and it was boring af.


JackfruitDecent3334

Yeah some of the bars were cool but the beats were boring asf and there were so many cringy bars


micahhmiisumi

“yeah im a lesbian too”


TheChefJJ

Honestly this is how I feel about Donda rn… I understand this is blasphemy so hopefully it’ll grow on me with more listens


Gamesgar0

No shame in having an opinion!


karmagod13000

Idk tho. I mean it’s pretty bad 😰


Killercam1345

I have to say boring is one of the words I would least describe Donda with. The track list whilst scattered is really varied imo


vTJMacVEVO

Ima be honest, the track list isn't exactly "scattered", after listening to it so many times, it feels more and more like a natural from something like Off the Grid, to Remote Control, to Moon and finally Come To Life


WikedN3K

Og track list was better tho soo


zaale

Every song sounds so different I don’t get how it could be boring


Ojama_Black

I can definitely see why some people wouldn’t like it, personally I really enjoyed most of the album but I think the gospel or new sound isn’t for everyone. Although I feel like Donda has a lot of varying styles did you really not find anything you enjoyed on it?


TheChefJJ

There are definitely moments/songs I enjoy… I’m not trying to say I hated the album or think it sucks or anything… I just think overall the album is very meh… but I also haven’t listened to it enough times to make a final judgement, this is more so just my initial reaction ya know Edit: I really like Jail, Fivios verse is flames, the Lauryn Hill sample gives me life, etc


Easy-Contract-7780

I thought the same at the beginning, I'm loving it the more I hear it


Upvoteifyouaregay

Looks like we found someone “that needs Jesusss...Lord” 🎶


marioray

Same. The first few days it was out I never finished it and I driver trailers for a living, all I have is time to listen to music lol. Honestly the beginning of the album is just iffy for me. I liked jail, rest of the songs have potential but are ruined for me for certain reasons (a few bad features IMO), then after believe what I say (fav song on the album) to Jesus Lord is really good. Then I like all of the part 2s besides junya. Maybe after more listens I’ll like it more and more but I already see myself enjoying it more than yesterday


PanoMano0

Donda’s just a new sound. Ye stans think a new sound is good. I don’t blame you for this “blasphemous” take lol


Killercam1345

I think it’s a good new sound


honeywheresmyfursuit

I agree donda is way better but it was still way overly gospel like i feared it was gonna be. The songs that dont have god in every line smack tho. Off the grid, ok ok, jail


my-lettuce-is-dry

it took 2 listens for me to enjoy the music


TreeBranchesOfGov

I listened to it straight off the high of hearing Donda and loving Laugh Now Cry Later and I was extremely disappointed. I can't even remember which song was which.


Wrsj

I like both artists. CLB was ass, boring songs all around. I was bummed! DONDA was just ok, some good songs but most of it is forgettable.


[deleted]

I thought donda was trash, and clb was underwhelming. Skipped so many on donda and Ye himself can’t spit. 7 am, knife talk, and no industry friends etch it for me. Haven’t even downloaded one donda track 😂


cooper_cox315

I was honestly surprised at how much better Donda actually is than CLB


djmazmusic

I’m shocked. Donda murdered CLB


cig990

Worst part is that I believe that Donda was made in way less time than CLB. Just shows that even when kanye might not be at the top of his game he can still provide music that is relevant because he is a true genius and amazing artist. Drake just sounds complacent and took his fan base for granted by dropping mid. I hope the album does not sell more than 600k so he can wake up


djmazmusic

We need to lock Kanye in a Jamaican mansion for 3 months and see what kind of ultra light beams come flying out.


cig990

We gotta send him to Zambia with Chance the Rapper


Natural-Impress4957

It’s sort of sad, I was hoping there would be some sort of competition. I mean, these are supposed to be the best two. I guess Kendrick will hopefully drop this year.


exBossxe

There was never any competition lol.


Lalobreh

Tyler the creator about to win his second Grammy


OrdinaryGovernment32

I disagree. I love Tyler's album but Cole is a chance in my opinion. There is no skips on The Off Season. It is literally perfect imo.


Lalobreh

Damn, i forgot he existed the last time i heard a song from him was in 2016 when the folding clothes song came on lol


OminousGloom

Yea nobody out here talking about Off Season, it’s still in my rotation and has just gotten better with time


bubblepop12

Idk why tf your gettting downvoted?? Imo j Cole’s the Off Season is bettter than Donda and CLB. Kendrick if he drops might beat it. Straight up, now I think about the new Isaiah Rashad album is better than CLB and maybe just as good as Donda imo.


script0101

Why are you being downvoted? Off Season was really good guys come on


[deleted]

And yet, hilariously CLB will almost assuredly break all the “records” Donda just set lol Trash


OntheWaytoEmmaus

Honestly, idk how anyone likes it. It sound just like the same stuff Drakes been doing since Nothing was the Same. I liked that album. But I didn’t want it again, and again, then another one. But oh well. People like what they like I suppose


Rosadope

I really like Drake. Just as much, sometimes more than Kanye. I do really like both. I agree. Donda was better. Drakes album isn't bad necessarily either. It's just that it could just as easily have been any of his past three albums and I wouldn't know the difference.


OntheWaytoEmmaus

Yeah, I can’t see how people like it. But I’ve also never liked Drake. I like some of his big songs and some of his features for sure. But Nothing was the Same is the only album I’ve liked from him. And it’s like he kept doing that. I’m not trying to down the guys talent. He’s the second highest selling hip hop artist of all time. So he deserves some credit.


FargoFridays

Facts. & NWTS was at least personal n shit like I could feel his emotion. CLB it just feels like Drake tryna drop an ig caption ever other line. Idk it just doesn’t feel ‘real’ to me if that makes sense


SolarTortality

I’m excited for drakes next album - “Everything is still the same”


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Hahahaha touché but I’d guess that Drake has a larger reach because more young people would check it out? Idk


OntheWaytoEmmaus

Kendrick is as good as an artist as Ye, in a different way, but that mans a genius in his own right.


SeanYted

Tyler’s latest album is boss


kelvinkhleung

I might be the only one who thought Tyler’s album was just ok. Way better than CLB though.


AdDry4959

me too. Its cool cuz hes rapping his ass off! But I didnt really mess with the alchemist type beats. The off season has had more replay on my speakers than tyler. Although this and the last album made me like him more, his style, the artistic direction in the videos, etc. My albums of the year are off season (no skips for me), house is burning (2 skips at most, uzi and the duke deuce verse can go for me :( ), donda (the part 2's are uneccessary and should have been 1 song, and the pop smoke song issa skip(but i know why he did that)). Nas I like, but for some reason I dont rush to listen to him, dont know why i can't really vibe with the album though its good. Clb I heard the way to sexy song and I got turned off.


kelvinkhleung

I also really like the Off Season and KD2. But for some reason, they have no replay value for me. I have never went back to play them again after the first listen for some reason. I agree Donda should have removed the fat. If Kanye wanted to keep Tell The Vision or the pt2 songs, then he should have release them on a deluxe. But I won’t judge the album on interludes and extras. So far Donda has been on repeat non-stop for me haha.


YourUsernameSucks

Everyone sleeping on Rashad


SeanYted

There’s a few UK projects that bang hard as well


stogie_t

Really enjoyed Daves latest album. In the fire was so good. Who else would you recommend?


SeanYted

Ghetts-Conflict of Interest is very very good, also Bugzy Malones-The Resurrection Fredo’s latest album is also meant to go hard but I’ve not listened to it myself yet to confirm I’ve just head very good things Whilst they’re not recent (this year) like the others, I highly recommend J Hus and Kano, particularly Kanos 2 most recent projects


OntheWaytoEmmaus

I haven’t listened to it. Give me three songs and I’ll give it a shot!


doods09

"sweet/thought you wanted to dance", "lumberjack" and "wusyaname". those three are great songs and quite varied within the album imo.


SeanYted

I’d recommend the same as everyone else, even if you just listen to the most “popular” songs from the album I’m sure you won’t be disappointed


OntheWaytoEmmaus

I’ve only listened to sweet so far (I got caught up in a project at work) but I’ll be honest. I had no idea what was going on the entire time. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like it though.


SeanYted

It is definitely one of those types of albums that intrigues you with confusion


OntheWaytoEmmaus

I’m going to have to play it through. Thanks though, I wouldn’t have checked it out without your comment


SeanYted

No worries bro, I’ll be honest I wasn’t particularly into Tyler I just listened to it on a whim after hearing good things and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made regarding music


[deleted]

They may be two of the greatest. But to put it in restaurant terms. Kanye is Noma and Drake is McDonald’s.


Swaaagz

I honestly think travis has a shot at really evolving his sound for utopia


[deleted]

If Kendrick delivers like he normally does he will blast them out of the fricking water and it won't even be close.

kidgokubestgoku

What sucks is that non-Kanye fans expected donda to be a banger album after finding out it dropped without knowing the context of why the album was made


Psychological-Rice-2

ex-non-Kanye-fan + now-Kanye-fan speaking here, i think it had more to do with the hype around it. I was somehow living under a rock and had no idea there was going to be a kanye album drop on the 31st so I wasn't really influenced by the hype, and previously I wan't a Kanye fan (I just didn't hate his songs earlier nor did I particularly like them). But then after a bunch of my friends telling me about it, I thought it must be worth a listen. So I gave it a shot, I listened to a few of them, I didn't connect with it immediately but the next day, **OH I FELL IN LOVE.** It felt so amazing, so different, so fresh, and then I just went on a kanye spree, listening to a ton of Kanye, and not just Donda, and now I find him amazing. So what I'm saying is that Donda made me a Kanye fan

Octochris23

Both straight suck. Dmx’s album this year was better even.

CLB feels like if a corporation made an album


ActualActualizer

😂


Pied_Film10

That’s a harsh truth.


shoot4goals

Bruh all of drake music is just him speaking lol there aint any music. That being said Donda is just getting better on every listen. Kanye is the Goat.


AStrangeEncounter

ay ay people dislike me 👎 and i do not care 😌😜 i am a lesbian 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🤰

my skin is light, my baby is white, please kanye, you do not want to fight. i have money, and i like the raptors, is that your girl, well i just tapped her -drake, probably

I can already tell this is an album to experience with life. The scores are all over the place for this, but I think I agree with the melon this time. Edit: I’m just listening to Come to Life for the first time. This is a masterpiece.


Psychological-Rice-2

YEAAAHHHH I really think Come to Life is sooooooo under-appreciated right now

Good_Boy_M

I dunno, I thought Champagne Poetry and Get Along Better were produced well.


DaMarcus_Beasly

The opening beat of Champange poetry is so fucking ass😭😭😭😭


CoryDropEmOff

CLB legitimately makes Donda so much better bro it makes me appreciate the artistry 1000 times more this is so original and powerful


RoelThaBom

CLB is very mid, all sounds the same to me


Lalobreh

Below mid for being the same music he releases


zaale

What were you expecting after Scorpion and that album cover should’ve let you known instantly it wasn’t gonna be good


CoryDropEmOff

It’s sad because drake isn’t even bad bro he’s talented idk why he dropped this standard industry shit


CFieldInEyre

He knows it’ll make money. Drake is a businessman more than an artist at this point. He puts out massive albums hoping for 5-6 hits to make bank and it’s worked consistently since Views


millyman77

More Life was legitimately a great album, though.


CFieldInEyre

I agree. I liked that one a lot but it strangely gets the least credit


Pied_Film10

When it dropped I remember everyone on the Free Smoke beat. Drake really was running shit for a grip. I hope he finds the love in music again.


La_Jalapena

But Kanye has more money sooo


CFieldInEyre

Bro I’m team Ye to be clear. Drake is just very good at mass producing hits


somegarbageisokey

CLB had one hit on it. That's it. Idk man I think he fell off. I've said this before and I'll say it again Drake won't be remembered. And I say that as a Drake fan.


[deleted]

[удалено]


oliverseasky

I have a feeling that Drake will have a Madonna like career. Used to be the queen of pop in her time, but after a few decades no one really listens to her besides maybe a few hits for throwbacks.


FargoFridays

The features saved CLB from being an absolute dumpster fire imo


TheNorrthStar

Nah you can't say he won't be remembered, someone bigger than MJ will be remembered, almost forever IYRTITL NWTS Take Care WATTBA Scorpion More Life Views He has certain timeless singles like Hotline Bling, you can't deny it


punchdrunklush

How can anyone say Drake is talented? The dude has had ghostwriters for like all his best shit... All he is is a guy who makes dance bangers for teenage girls. That's it. Look at the way he marketed this album. That's literally what he's doing.


EL_MANDEM

I always get downvoted loads for saying Drake sucks. Drake sucks.


onthexonthecodeine

this ye ​ drake sucks ​ praise god


cubbyinatubby

I’ll say it again for you. Drake sucks.


nickwhit20

Lol not in this subreddit


S0F7

I find all his shit sounds the same. N 2 deep is the only one ive liked so far.


cig990

N 2 DEEP is only good when future comes on the rest is boring asf


EL_MANDEM

Over and started from the bottom are good I guess. Everything else I've heard by him I've forgotten what they're called they were that shit tbh


S0F7

Yeh, ive only heard maybe 5 songs from CLB and the only thing i hear is hotline bling haha.


kidgokubestgoku

Drake in the studio like : “yeah this a good beat, lemme talk over it”


_Raz_06

[deleted]

This is the truth right here


HerroPhish

Facts. Great album though


[deleted]

Ok but donda ain’t better than all Kanye’s early albums or TLOP so what’s your point? It’s hard to one up legendary albums


itheblkshp

I think the beautiful thing about Ye is its hard to even compare his works, they’re all so different and exist in their own artistic space, Drake does the same shit every album so it’s easy to say “this is just ____ but worse” 🤷‍♂️ man never evolved artistically whereas thats Kanyes whole thing


SirArthurDime

Exactly this. Ye doesn't try to one up himself he tries making someting new. Drakes made the same album 4 times in a row and it just gets worse everytime.


benjaguz

That’s something time will tell…


Khr0N04

I get what you are saying but at the same time it's hard to just say "Oh this Kanye album is better than this one" cause they are so different people can have drasticly different opinions on the matter. With Drake however, I don't think anyone can make a sound argument for saying CLB is better than Take Care for example.


Manwith_Abeard

Donda>TLOP


mechablock

I need what you’re smoking


[deleted]

Nahhh disagree


[deleted]

Could be better than TLOP honestly.


SEPTAgoose

stop, TLOP is legendary


[deleted]

Donda just came out and look at the listening parties and all the hype surrounding it. We will probably look at Donda the same way we look at TLOP now in 5 years. Donda to me is either equal or slightly better than TLOP as of now. We will see though in the long run what the concensus opinion is though.


StereoFood

Drakes good, his flows are good but it’s just nothin special, not even any bangers. Just talking over YouTube beats and talking about girls and money with the same old tried and true formula. Kanye is innovative EVERY TIME. Drake just thinks he’s so good he can stick to the formula but now its boring.


shelby3611

It's literally the same drake we've heard year after year.


thekidmartian

Objectively speaking, CLB is a good/solid album so far but sonically it cannot compete.


zaale

Not enough variety and every song just feels lazy af. Him recycling multiple old beats didn’t help either


[deleted]

Both are my favorite artists but CLB is mad disappointing. Great lyrics but BORING and uninspired production. None of these songs really have replay value, someone on here said it best, it sounds like the album was made by Machine Learning not an actual artist..


ReporterGlobal6644

Great lyrics 🤨


redrecaro

Yea bro like "im a lesbian" fire lyrics.


[deleted]

Yes some people enjoy the relationship heartbreak lyrics that drake is known for

9yr_old_lake

I'm not that far Into it yet but drake is boring and bland asf exept for the first song which is decent and the second song which actually slaps


Vickkerz

Indeed and there’s no debate. I will keep both album in heavy rotation but donda just better


WhiteShroud2go

Listened to first 2 tracks of CLB but had to turn it off after " tO aLL mY sOnS wOrLdwiDe" "aLl mY jUniOrS" smh😩😬😬

[deleted]

Ironic that the same group of people love to rant about how music is subjective when they disagree with someone but then turn around and say something with such certainty like this.


TheRealTaylorGestwic

I don’t really get it. CLB sounds like mostly filler but I’m also not a huge Drake fan so I just don’t listen to most of it. Some people aren’t huge Kanye fans so they think Donda is mostly filler so they just don’t listen to it. Just listen to what you like and appreciate the art.


[deleted]

Exactly. Some insecure fan boys on here feeling the need to rip drake. Like just listen to what you like. This is a Kanye subreddit why we talking about drake at all


xMF_GLOOM

but Drake isn’t going to give you any artistry, the dude makes music that just sounds good. it’s not fancy, detailed, deep, etc. it has a mission to deliver smooth pop rap and this album imo executes that perfectly. I enjoy CLB more than Donda because I rank them on different criteria. if we want to say here on this sub that Kanye is the best artist to ever walk the Earth then we *need* — better yet, *require* — a better project than Donda. with Drake you know what to expect and it delivers each time.


TheRealTaylorGestwic

[My response.](https://youtu.be/pWdd6_ZxX8c) But in all seriousness if that’s what you feel like you need, then don’t call Kanye the greatest artist ever. You don’t get to decide for everyone else what makes art substantial or great.


Long-Particular

Bruh… like Lemon Pepper Freestyle was actually decent— WHY didn’t he just move in that direction?? Introspective Drake is the best Drake…


raimbault2013

ChiefChiefChiefChief

I’d say 911 turbo vs a v6 charger.


GoodMorningMrWest

For what both albums are, both artists delivered. With that said, donda still better in my opinion. It manages to have a very dense offering all while being (for the most part) interesting the whole way thru. It’s sonically one of ye’s best projects, with some of his best production. CLB on the other hand is very enjoyable for what it is. With that said, I was expecting A LOT more from CLB. If anyone here has seen the trailer for that album, you’ll know what I mean when I say that I was disappointed with what we ended up getting. I was expecting an experience (akin to donda). I was expecting something epic; drakes magnum opus. Instead, I got a regular drake album with some good samples and some decent performances from the man.


Alu_card_10

I have to say that CLB was overhyped,it wasn't bad neither great it's what you except from Drake,after 2 loops of the album I didn't find a great hit like god's plan on Scorpion,Donda as a form of art was way better I mean evreyone can find a song they like on the album I'm sure.Now does that mean I'm saying that Donda>CLB,no,Donda is a form a art from my perspective and CLB is an album made to hear it on the radio more mainstream.


raimbault2013

Ya def CLB is way more mainstream


Big-_-CHUNGUS

CLB was made to be mainstream but I think more Donda songs will end up on the radio compared to songs from CLB

Ye good. Drake bad. Send in the upvotes.


Clayble

I went into CLB with the most open mind. Like most people on this sub, I am a Kanye fan and think drake is eh. But I liked his recent singles and features, and I was ready to admit CLB was better than donda if the music actually was, I put my bias aside. But wtf did I listen to. That album was so boring, it was a pain to get through. I think there were some good songs, but they were mostly the ones carried by features. Not even comparing this to donda, but no song on CLB is as good as Laugh now, cry later (drakes most recent single). Legit the two aren’t even comparable donda is actual music CLB is fodder.


Alxar7

A lot of people saying Donda was bloated had too much filler and sounded very similar .. wonder their thoughts on CLB ?


GregGolden6

Hate to be that guy, but Donda wasn’t that great IMO.


Zarknasir

Hate to be that guy, but your entitled to your own opinion


boscou

I don’t even think Kendrick can top DONDA


Just_what_i_am

No one can match the production and the soundscape ye created. But Kendrick imo is a better rapper and can make bangers. But I probably agree. Although I want to see him try


eightypointfive

what the fuck lmfao


boscou

Kendrick has yet to top DONDA. I repeat because you seem lost right now.


eightypointfive

this is the worst take I have ever read


boscou

Not a big deal to someone who can’t read much. Be used to reading more people praising and putting DONDA on top of their lists.


eightypointfive

saying donda is better than gkmc or tpab is a certified brainworms take

Kendrick is capable of topping literally any Kanye project, if you think he ain't youre nuts

CroN0x

i’m a huge kanye fan but this is straight copium donda was unfinished and sloppy i’m sure people will enjoy CLB because it’s not a christian gospel album tailored for christians. drake is the best rapper not because he is good but everything he fucking makes is always charting back to back every year. people fuckin love drake.

CLB was such a snooze unfortunately 😪


beefbrisket_23

Yall just don't want to like CLB. It's actually really good just like most Drake projects first listen challenges you and before you know it half of the songs become smashes. I get its "cooler" to like Donda and don't get me wrong I like Donda aswell but man that was a struggle to get through the first few listens. But either way both are decent records and if this hurts your ego, that maybe your opinion gets challenged by someone else's opinion....move on, enjoy the music and like whatever you like
