Charlamagne Tha God, never one to shy away from expressing his views, recently weighed in on the newest collaborative album from Drake and PartyNextDoor, titled ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U.’ Released just in time for Valentine’s Day, the album has elicited a variety of responses from fans and critics alike.
While some listeners have praised the album’s vibe, others, like Charlamagne, aren’t exactly swooning. During a segment on The Breakfast Club, he openly admitted, ‘I only got to track eleven, but I don’t feel Party on this album at all.’ He went on to confess that he was never a fan of Drake’s singing style, and the album left him yawning, literally.
Charlamagne criticized the album’s lack of soul, suggesting it was too polished and manufactured. ‘It’s like AI and B,’ he quipped, indicating that the album felt devoid of the raw, emotional touch fans might expect from these artists. He expressed concern that the project seemed more of a production line effort than a heartfelt creation.
Expectations of a potential lyrical joust with Kendrick Lamar were left unfulfilled according to Charlamagne, who believed that Drake would steer clear of reigniting any past feuds on this album. Despite some listeners tuning in with hopes of finding clues, he noted, ‘I didn’t think that it was gonna be any smoke on the album.’
Regardless of Charlamagne’s critique, the album includes tracks like ‘Gimme A Hug’ and ‘Celibacy’ that hint at the ongoing, unspoken narratives in the music industry. Yet, these instances did not hit home enough to sway Charlamagne’s overall impression.
Despite his critical take on Drake and PartyNextDoor’s collaboration, Charlamagne showed a semblance of approval when discussing Kendrick Lamar’s recent performance at the Super Bowl. Although he saw room for improvement, he appreciated the aesthetic quality of the show, rating it a perfect ten. However, he confessed that a more engaging setlist could have amplified its impact.
Charlamagne’s candid review reflects the diverse reception ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ has garnered, emphasizing the subjective nature of music.
