Drake Confirms ‘Her Loss’ Completes Trilogy With ‘CLB’ & ‘Honestly, Nevermind’

The fan theory has been proven correct and Drake's recent drops were all a part of a larger plan. Drizzy confirmed that his joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, closes out the trilogy that started with Certified Lover Boy and then Honestly, Nevermind. The albums are said to show the beginning and aftermath of a relationship.

"We got CLB, Certified Lover Boy, that was like the, you know, 'I'm trying my best to make her love [me], I’m chasing you,'" he said in an interview clip that has been circulated on social media. "And then Honestly, Nevermind is the realization that maybe that lifestyle is not for me."

"Then Her Loss is like 'No Pigeons,'" he continued. "Remember when [Sporty Thievz] dropped 'No Pigeons' when [TLC] had 'No Scrubs' out?"

Finally, he says, "Then 'Her Loss' is like 'No Pigeons.'"

In the same interview, he declared that Her Loss is a classic. "[Her Loss] is one of the greatest albums I ever made in my life," he stated. "I said the other day, I think this is a clear entry into my top five of my catalog — if not, top three."

In the same interview, both Drake and 21 admitted to helping each other with writing their verses for Her Loss.

"I ain’t gon cap, Drake wrote some of my verses on this album," 21 said. "These facts. I don’t give a f--- what a n---- say, Drake helped me with some of my verses on this album."

Drake added: "By the way, you also helped me with s--- too."

Her Loss was released on Nov. 4 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Her Loss is the 12th No. 1 for Drake and the third leader for 21 Savage. All songs off of the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100 with eight making it to the top 10. The 16-track project has only one guest feature as Travis Scott lent his vocals on "P----y & Millions," the tenth track on the LP.

Drake is constantly being called out for having ghostwriters which the rapper addressed in 2015 in The Fader pointing out that, "music at times can be a collaborative process." In hip-hop, having ghostwriters is taken pretty seriously since the lyrics rappers use in their songs are authentic to their personal journey. However, we think it's safe to say that Drake is not just "any kind of rapper" at this point. In his decade-plus-long year career in music, it's safe that the 6God is "one of one" and shouldn't be put into any kind of box. His R&B-infused rap has inspired a generation of sound that has influenced a genre but has been successful experimenting in pop, reggae and now dance with his latest album Honestly, Nevermind. Despite what you might think of Drake as rapper, singer, --or whatever he feels like he wants be labeled today-- he has used that "collaborative process" to bring you hits by your favorite artists.

Let's put some respect on Drake's pen and check out seven songs that he has written for other artists:

Jamie Foxx's "Fall For Your Type" is off of the singer/actor's 2010 album Best Night of My Life. Drizzy is featured as a guest artist hit and written alongside Noah Shebib, and Noel Campbell. The track hit No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Beyoncé and Drake collabed on "Mine" which was released back in 2014 for her self-titled album. Drake, Beyoncé Knowles, Noah Shebib, Jordan Ullman, Sidney Brown, Dwane Weir are credited as songwriters on the track. Drake is also credited a songwriter for Beyoncé's "Heated" off her album Renaissance.

"Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" arrives on Alicia Keys' fourth studio album The Element of Freedom. Drake is credited as a songwriter alongside Alicia Keys, Kerry "Krucial" Brothers and 40.Alicia and Drake also paired up along with Noah "40" Shebib, on Drake’s track "Fireworks" off his 2010 debut Thank Me Later.

Drake linked up with his Young Money boss Lil Wayne for his song "I'm Single." The track appears on his ninth solo mixtape, No Ceilings, and his 2010 album I Am Not a Human Being. Drake is credited as a songwriter alongside Omen (Producer), Boi-1da, 40 & Lil Wayne.

Rita Ora's "R.I.P" also makes the list of songs you might not have known Drizzy has written. Drake is credited as a writer alongside Rita Ora, Tor Hermansen, Mikkel Eriksen, Patrick Okogwu, Saul Milton, Farhad Samadzada, Renee Wisdom, Will Kennard. The track features Tinie Tempah and was the lead single off her 2012 album, Ora.

Kanye spoke on Drake's involvement on "30 Hours" to his since-deleted interview Drink Champs, "I gave him a line and he wrote the whole rap. I wish he wrote all my raps." Drake is also credited as a songwriter for "Facts" and "Father Stretch My Hands" from Kanye's seventh studio album Life of Pablo. Kanye, Pharrell Williams, Karriem Riggins, Mike Dean, Charles Arthur Russell, Cornell Haynes, Jason Epperson, Charles L. Brown, Isaac Hayes are also credited on "30 Hours." The song samples the 1986 Arthur Russell song "Answers Me" and drums from the 1973 Isaac Hayes single "Joy."

Growing up in Canada, Drake was a part of the collective called the The Renaissance which is where he met Melanie Fiona. The group ended splitting up but Drake co-wrote Grammy-winning singer Melanie Fiona's "I've Been That Girl" which landed on her LP The MF Life. The album also featured a duet with John Legend and other featured artists such as J. Cole, T-Pain, and Nas.
