Drake has dropped his latest album, Certified Lover Boy, on Friday, and there are soooooooooooo many takes about it going around Twitter.
But the one that I’d say is getting a lot of attention is from Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young.
His tweets from early Friday after the album dropped are more focused on the legacy of Drake and Jay Z — who appears on CLB — and I’ve got to address them.
Young seemed to think that Jay Z > Drake, although he walked that back a bit in subsequent tweets. So let’s break them all down and I’ll give you my take:
Here's what Young said
Yo when we gonna say Drake has passed Hov ?🥴

People thought Young was trying to troll New York again
After Knicks fans went after him during the first-round playoff matchup against the Hawks, that might be a possibility:
This man is laser focused on trolling New York https://t.co/CMcUhyamlr

Is there really a case to be made here?
I know I’m an Old, but … NO. NOOOOOOOOO. NOPE.
Look, I really like Drake. I think there’s too much criticism of his stuff, and you can’t argue with his success and popularity and pile of catchy hits.
But Jay Z is a Mt. Rushmore talent. You could argue that Drake could be an all-time great … but better than Jay Z? Never. Get out of here with that. There’s no debate.
UPDATE: Seems like he’s changed his mind!
Everybody, Hov #1 to me.😂💯
