Drake views from the 6 album lyrics2/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The running length could have been even longer too, seeing as the past two years have also seen Drake release a mixtape and an EP. Sure, there are some memorable tracks here (‘Champagne Poetry’, ‘Fair Trade’, ‘You Only Live Twice’), but at 21 tracks and 86 minutes, ‘CLB’ is a bit of a slog to get through – simply weighed down by the considerable amount of filler – ‘Race My Mind’ and ‘Knife Talk’ among the most instantly forgettable on the record. Drizzy himself seems to be aware of this too, previously promising that this LP would be “more concise”. We all know that Drake can top the chart and conquer streaming services at his whim ( ‘CLB’ has already broken Drake’s own Spotify record), but what most fans have wanted for a fair few years now has been a more focused effort from the Toronto star. Drake was one of the first major artists to churn out such bloated, 20 track-plus albums that were basically overstuffed in order to maximise streaming revenue, and changed the landscape of hip-hop releases in doing so. When it comes to streaming numbers, less is definitely not more in terms of song count. ‘CLB’ doesn’t learn from the mistakes of ‘Scorpion’ Should we expect the pair to soon be invited into Kanye’s passive-aggressive group chat? Well, we wouldn’t bet against it. The most surprising guests on the ‘CLB’, however, have to be Kid Cudi and Jay-Z – the former being a long-time close pal of Kanye’s and the latter recently reunited with his estranged little bro on ‘DONDA’ highlight ‘Jail’. ![]()
