With the official album cover drawing criticism, fans have created their own versions. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

  In the crucial days following the release of Kanye West\u2019s long-awaited album, Donda<\/em>, hip-hop lovers world-wide grew impatient, anticipating the drop of Drake\u2019s statement album, Certified Lover Boy<\/em>. Through the months leading up to the releases, the two rap superstars indulged in an ongoing beef over social media and in a multitude of music features. Specifically, Drake can be heard throwing shade at West in a feature on Trippie Redd\u2019s late-August release, Trip at Knight<\/em>– of which was dropped only a week prior to Donda\u2019s<\/em> midnight launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Certified Lover Boy<\/em> opens with \u201cChampagne Poetry,\u201d a pitched-up sample of The Beatles\u2019 \u201cMichelle.\u201d This sample is coming at a cost though as Drake continues to pay royalties to Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono for rights to the song. Though the tune offers a soothing bass with a soft beat switch mid-song, Drake seems to fall in a consistent and oftentimes boring melodic flow. Drake also establishes themes here that he follows throughout the album such as a reiteration of his success as a musician yet remaining latched to the subject of the recent birth of his son where he falls emotionally confused. 
   Another early standout, \u201cWay 2 Sexy (with Future and Young Thug),\u201d samples Right Said Fred\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Too Sexy\u201d in an obviously ridiculous fashion. The track provides a somewhat comedic relief amongst the album of jumbled emotions. 
   The album does see points of satisfaction on tracks like \u201cPapi\u2019s Home,\u201d \u201cFair Trade (with Travis Scott),\u201d and \u201cTSU\u201d where Drake dives into snappy yet relaxing beats and returns to style that Drake fans can find similar to his earlier work 
   The album as a whole shows a somewhat unclear side of Drake as he struggles to understand his own emotions and showcases many of his features as they often seem to outshine Drake\u2019s lazy verses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
