Drake ‘For All The Dogs’ Review: What Type of Dogs Are We Talking About?

for all the dogs Google Search

When you’re the biggest artist in the world, aka Drake, it’s a huge deal anytime you drop music. Not only are you one of the biggest streaming artists in the world, but your fanbase is accustomed to timeless hits — which means the bar is set high. But For All The Dogs is less about the homies and either about dog men or Drake’s new favorite word for women he comes across.

For All The Dogs serves as Drake’s eighth studio album. The hype escalated when Drizzy pushed the release date back a few weeks, from September 22nd to October 6th. Not to mention the 6 God promised fans he’d be returning to the “old Drake,” which we’re having difficulty pinpointing exactly where. This album feels like Drake has hit a level of either stagnation due to immediate success by whatever he drops, or there is no more challengers in the arena to force him to find an internal fire.

With the standout features on the project — 21 Savage, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty — FATD should be a sure contender for success. But after the first few spins… you’re wondering where the substance is. When you’re Drake, you can have whatever you want at your fingertips. But Drake’s ascent to the top of the rap game used to inspire, motivate, and empower others to go out there and get after their wildest dreams.

For All The Dogs is certainly not that. The opening song, “Virginia Beach,” seems to be yet another emo Drake serenading his woes about a past relationship. Let’s be real: Drake can get any woman he wants, and his bars about drugs are getting played out. 

Of course, we all love the camaraderie between Drake and 21 Savage. Case in point: “Rich Flex,” “Jimmy Cooks,” “Mr. Right Now” by Metro Boomin. But the skit at the end of “Calling For You” was particularly off-putting. A girl complaining about sitting in the economy instead of first class. NEXT!

By now, you have seen the calls against misogyny across the album, and it’s within reason. The toxic masculinity throughout For All The Dogs laps Future on his most sick days. Ironically, “What Would Pluto Do” is a prime example where Drake evokes the spirit of his What A Time To Be Alive friend, but it’s cringe as he attempts to tell the story of popping some Cialis in the drink of his lady for the night. In case you got lost in the single, the bars are pulled below:

Wigglin’ back into my old ways, ayy
Bunch of sedatives, hypnotics in my system, okay
Life is goin’ just how I predicted, okay
Droppin’ two Cialis in her liquid, okay

Drake “What Would Pluto Do”

If that isn’t cringing enough, the countless runs of calling women a “bitch” throughout the album echo an inner issue that may need to be addressed.

That was song #3, which means there are 20 more tracks to go. One look at the tracklist, and you might be excited for that Sexyy Red and SZA feature on “Rich Baby Daddy.” Even this record was tough to get through. There’s only so many times you can hear the words “ass” and “coochie,” and Drake rapping about being rich isn’t impressive. 

Not to mention the lead single to the project, “Slime You Out” with SZA, could have been a beautiful record — had it only been SZA’s vocals. There’s also an interlude called “BBL Love.” We’d appreciate something a little more meaningful for an artist with Drake’s platform. Even if it was “for all the dogs,” can we bring back a certain level of classiness and respect? 

And when all is fails, we lean on one of Hip-Hop’s greats: J. Cole. “First Person Shooter” might be the best song of the project. J. Cole rapped his ass off… only for Drake to come in after him to weep about girls.

‘Honestly, Nevermind’ Your Opinion, We Needed This Drake Album

Drake Announces 'Care Package' Release

Drake put the social media world in a frenzy when he announced the coming of his seventh studio album Honestly, Nevermind.

People anticipated a typical Drake album. You know the emotional records that puts us in our feels. Or the rap heavy tracks with the caption ready lyrics. Well when Drizzy surprisingly dropped Honestly, Nevermind, he surprised fans with exotic sound on the album. Clearly from the social media responses, fans were not expecting to hear this.

Despite what fans thought, Honestly, Nevermind is still a vibe. Fans were in shock when they heard a full-blown Dance Hall/Afro-Beat album, but this isn’t anything new from Drake. Drake, a Toronto native, has been dabbling in house music and we been loving it. From “One Dance,” to “Controlla,” Drake has been in this type of bag.

Now that fans are finally free to go back outside, Honestly, Nevermind is music fans can have fun to, vibe to, and feel free to be themselves. He said it himself, “We’re here for a good time not a long time,” and this is definitely a feel good album. Honestly, Nevermind is an album that takes your mind on vacation and away from the world’s harsh reality.

READ MORE: J. Cole on Drake’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’: “This Album is Phenomenal”

If you watched the visual to the first video he released, “Falling Back,” in the intro, he tells NBA star Tristan Thompson, a fellow Canadian, how he’s feeling. “This is a good time for me,” he said. Then he proceeds to marry 20 plus women, displaying the true definition of his “Motto,” yolo, (You only live once).

Drake’s producer, Noah “40” Shebib teamed up with legendary South African house producers Black Coffee and Gordo FKA Carnage to deliver 14 up beat tracks that’s made for you to move your body.

Don’t be misconstrued, this is still Drake we’re talking about. So ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ what fans said about the album, give it a listen for yourself. Songs like “Text Go Green” provides a familiar OVO sound that fans should be used to. Over the afro production, Drake returns with his smooth melodic cadence and he’s being transparent about his emotions. On the course he sings:

“Texts go green, it hits a little different, don’t it?
Know you missed the days when I was grippin’ on it. Know you’re in a house tonight just thinkin’ on it. I moved on so long ago”

On “Massive,” Drake really showed his versatility as an artists. Although he’s still singing softly, and the track is upbeat, it’s not much afro centric. The electric production drives this track. Drake sings minimally on “Massive” and he lets the beat take your mind and your mood to another world. It’s EDM vibes for certian.

Drake dropped a multi-genre album that’s propelling Hip-Hop into a non-categorical space in music. Drake covered everything on this album and he didn’t forget his ties to the hood.

On the last track of the album, Drake teamed up with 21 Savage and went all in on the rap side. He dedicated the song to the late YSL rapper Lil Keed and went in with 21.

Honestly, Nevermind received huge backlash from fans, but it didn’t bother the 6 God one bit. He responded by saying “It’s all good if you don’t get it yet. It’s all good,” he said in an Instagram video. “That’s what we do. We wait for you to catch up. We’re in here, though. We’re caught up already. On to the next. My goodness.”

While many fans didn’t appreciate Honestly, Nevermind, many did. After an hour of it’s release, Drake broke an Apple Music streaming record. Honestly, Nevermind, debuted on streaming services Friday (June 17), and it became Apple Music’s biggest dance album in history for first-day streams worldwide.

Drake also held Apple Music’s previous record for for first-day streams worldwide with the release of his last album Certified Lover Boy. He also holds the third place record as well with Scorpion, and the record for for the biggest song in Apple Music history by first-day streams worldwide, with “Girls Want Girls.”

On “Massive,” Drake really showed his versatility as an artists. Although he’s still singing softly, and the track is upbeat, it’s not much afro centric. The electric production drives this track. Drake sings minimally on “Massive” and he lets the beat take your mind and your mood to another world. It’s EDM vibes for certian.

Drake dropped a multi-genre album that’s propelling Hip-Hop into a non-categorical space in music. Drake covered everything on this album and he didn’t forget his ties to the hood.

On the last track of the album, Drake teamed up with 21 Savage and went all in on the rap side. He dedicated the song to the late YSL rapper Lil Keed and went in with 21.

Honestly, Nevermind received huge backlash from fans, but it didn’t bother the 6 God one bit. He responded by saying “It’s all good if you don’t get it yet. It’s all good,” he said in an Instagram video. “That’s what we do. We wait for you to catch up. We’re in here, though. We’re caught up already. On to the next. My goodness.”

While many fans didn’t appreciate Honestly, Nevermind, many did. After an hour of it’s release, Drake broke an Apple Music streaming record. Honestly, Nevermind, debuted on streaming services Friday (June 17), and it became Apple Music’s biggest dance album in history for first-day streams worldwide.

Drake also held Apple Music’s previous record for for first-day streams worldwide with the release of his last album Certified Lover Boy. He also holds the third place record as well with Scorpion, and the record for for the biggest song in Apple Music history by first-day streams worldwide, with “Girls Want Girls.”

‘No Ceilings 3’ Hinges on Nostalgia from the Mixtape Weezy Era

'No Ceilings 3' Hinges on Nostalgia from the Mixtape Weezy Era

Oh, the nostalgia! For true fans of the culture, Lil Wayne has finally dropped his highly-anticipated project, No Ceilings 3, hosted by DJ Khaled

The New Orleans legend gave us a solid, 20 track project that clocks in at a little over an hour and takes us back down a road so many of us remember extremely well. Starting with small teasers from DJ Khaled on Instagram. 

“The mixtape game seemed to be a dying art and since I’m one of the pioneers of the craft, and it played such a big part in my career, I felt it was only right to resurrect it,” Lil Wayne told Complex “Also, it’s a lot of songs out here I wanted to kill my way!”

The project gives fans a few interesting features and guest appearances from top tier artists like Drake on “BB King Freestyle” and Atlanta’s Young Thug on “Out West.” He also brings on board, newcomers Hoodbaby and Euro. Wayne also enlists Young Money family Gudda Gudda and Cory Gunz. In a proud dad move, Wayne taps in his sons Young Kam Carter, Lil Tune, and Young Carter on “Kam,” “FL4M3$” and “Hollywood” respectively. And the youth don’t disappoint. Easy to tell they’ve been groomed by one of the greatest to ever do it. 

Lil Wayne continues the tradition of rapping over popular previously “used” beats and follows its two predecessors from 2015 and 2009. For this installment of the series, we hear the New Orleans rapper jumping on cuts like the late Pop Smokes “Dior,” “Shake the Room” and “For the Night,” Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” and Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE” to name a few.

Wayne initially announced the project in August 2016, by confirming that both No Ceilings 3 and Tha Carter VI were on the way. There are also rumors buzzing of other projects on the horizon, including a new Nicki Minaj album, The collaboration “I Can’t Feel My Face 2” with Juelz Santana, and even a follow up to Collegrove 2 with 2 Chainz

Last week, Wayne was hit with felony weapons charges that stem from a discovery on his private plane in 2019, which could land him jail for 10 years if he’s convicted. 

Only a couple of months ago, Lil Wayne was under fire for his seemingly strong allegiance to President Donald Trump. And if nothing else, he added a little fuel to the fire with the lyrics, “Workin’ on my demons, that’s beautiful Bae off that Reisling, she’s super loose I’m smoking, she says pass it, she’s doing to much Haven’t done my taxes, f—ing with Trump”
