Drake Teased His ‘For All The Dogs’ Album During ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’ Opening Night In Chicago

Remember, mere months ago, when Drake had people believing he might be on the cusp of retirement? That was cute.

Drake couldn’t be more active right now. Two weeks ago, he surprise-dropped a poetry book and printed a QR code in select newspapers to tease an accompanying album, entitled For All The Dogs. His and 21 Savage’s It’s All A Blur Tour kicked off its three-month North American leg at Chicago’s United Center on Wednesday night, July 5, and he didn’t waste time stoking the anticipation.

According to the Drake fan account Word On Road, Drake told the crowd, “I have an album coming out soon for you’ll.”

The account also relayed that Drake began his set with the Take Care track “Look What You’ve Done” and chronicled his setlist in real time.

Photos surfaced online prior to the show of the It’s All A Blur Tour merch, including Nike hats, bucket hats, and several graphic tees.

Drake and Savage will perform again in Chicago on Thursday, July 6, before hitting Detroit, Michigan for back-to-back shows at Little Caesars Arena. The exhaustive leg is scheduled to conclude in early October. Drake will stage two assuredly epic hometown shows at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on October 5 and October 7, ending with the rescheduled Columbus, Ohio date on October 9.

The It’s All A Blur Tour is Drake’s first North American tour since 2018.

Here’s The Inspiration Behind The Virgil Abloh Statue On Drake’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’

On Wednesday night, July 5, Drake and 21 Savage’s winding It’s All A Blur Tour kicks off at Chicago’s United Center. Drake reminisced on his formative Degrassi days to hype up himself and fans for opening night, and the tour’s staging is reflective in an especially sentimental way.

“Our brother is watching,” Drake wrote to his Instagram Story atop a photo of a larger-than-life statue of the late Virgil Abloh.

NFR Podcast also tweeted, “Drake & 21 Savage’s tour stage design honors the late great Virgil Abloh with a statue [dove emoji] It pays homage to Virgil’s first Louis Vuitton fashion show in 2018!”

Abloh was an artistic polymath. He died aged 41 in November 2021 after an intensely private two-years-plus battle with cancer. The Chicago-area native’s seemingly sudden passing was met with an outpouring of grief on social media from prominent figures in music, fashion, and entertainment.

In the immediate aftermath, Drake paid tribute by getting a tattoo depicting the same photo that the It’s All A Blur statue recreated.

Abloh served as the Artistic Director Of Menswear for Louis Vuitton until his death, and Pharrell Williams stepped into the vacant role earlier this year.

Drake and Savage’s It’s All A Blur Tour will return to the United Center on Thursday, July 6. They’re then set to perform back-to-back nights at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, July 8, and Sunday, July 9.

The ambitious trek is scheduled to last into October. See all of the dates here.

Drake And 21 Savage’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’ Merch Features Nike Hats And Several Graphic Tees

Drake and 21 Savage are opening their highly anticipated (and slightly delayed) It’s All A Blur Tour on Wednesday, July 5, at Chicago’s United Center. Earlier in the day, Drake shared a teaser trailer video that featured him reminiscing on getting high before his Degrassi audition and called back to his formative acting role again to warn, “If anyone got beef with Savage on tour this how I’m coming be warned.” Savage, meanwhile, posted some mirror selfies.

Fans began sharing footage from United Center online as show time drew nearer, including a first official look at the It’s All A Blur Tour merch and a larger-than-life statue of the late Virgil Abloh.

A nine-second, fan-captured video shows white Nike hats, black “It’s All A Blur” bucket hates, several spray-painted graphic tees, and Drake’s newly published poetry book. One black tee simply says, “Peer pressure.”

The latter hints at what Drake was talking about in his earlier teaser video on Instagram:

“Someone asked me the other night what my biggest fear is, and I’ve never really had a good answer for it, but my answer was that all this is for nothing. Kind the idea that like, one day, life ends and it just all goes black, and I guess that question, like, sent me, you know, obviously deep into a spiral of thought. And it makes me think about my life and how surreal it feels at times.

I go back to this day when I was like 13 or 14. I had an audition for a TV show that ultimately shaped my life. And before my audition, I went to this kid’s house and um, I, out of, I guess, a desire to be accepted, I would succumb to peer pressure, and I got high with these kids right before my audition. And um, I kind of wonder, like, if something bad happened that day, or you know, maybe I’m still high, maybe I’m in some coma and this is just like me playing out my ideal life, and yeah, that concept has stuck with me for a lot of years. I mean, it feels like reality, it feels tangible, but I definitely wonder sometimes.”

Drake Issued A Warning To 21 Savage’s Enemies With A ‘Degrassi’ Clip Ahead Of Their ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’

Drake may or may not have started from the “bottom” (depending on your personal definition) but he never forgot his roots. The actor-turned-rapper shared an amusing reminder of his starting point, teen soap opera Degrassi: The Next Generation, on Instagram while promoting his upcoming It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage.

In the clip, Drake (as his Degrassi character Jimmy Brooks) mimes pulling a gun out of his waistband and firing it. A caption added by Drake reads, “If anyone got beef with Savage on tour this how I’m coming be warned.” HipHopDX got a screencap, which you can see below.

We know Drake’s probably joking — for the record, that character spent the next four seasons in a wheelchair after getting shot in the back by a bullied boy in episode 8 of season 4 (a source of endless amusement for Drake haters online) — but he certainly seems to be psyched for the tour. The tour has already sold so many tickets — despite supposedly sky-high presale prices — that new dates were added to the schedule twice.

Drake continued the rollout this week with a teaser trailer as things kick off tonight in Chicago. In it, he reflects on his early days as an actor — including nearly bombing his audition for the show because he got high with kids at school.

Drake Remembers Getting High Before His ‘Degrassi’ Audition In A New Teaser Video For The ‘It’s All A Blur’ Tour

Tonight (July 5) is a big one for Drake and 21 Savage fans, as the rappers are set to kick off the joint It’s All A Blur Tour in Chicago. Before they take the stage, though, Drake shared a teaser video, in which he gets deep in thought while looking back at his life, specifically a moment before his audition for Degrassi: The Next Generation as a kid.

The video is just a black screen with white text captioning his words as he says over some minimal music:

“Someone asked me the other night what my biggest fear is, and I’ve never really had a good answer for it, but my answer was that all this is for nothing. Kind the idea that like, one day, life ends and it just all goes black, and I guess that question, like, sent me, you know, obviously deep into a spiral of thought. And it makes me think about my life and how surreal it feels at times.

I mean, it feels like reality, it feels tangible, but I definitely wonder sometimes.”

Drake Denies Female Fan’s Photo Request: Video

The most obvious benefit that comes from being a celebrity would have to be material gain – other than that, the entertainment industry is rapidly losing its appeal. We’ve seen performers hit by random objects while singing on stage in increasing numbers this year, not to mention the struggle to find authentic connections out of fear that you’re being used for your status. On top of those downfalls, many stars are expected to be “on” 24/7, presenting themselves as their best, camera-ready selves. This obviously isn’t realistic, and thankfully, people like Drake are comfortable setting boundaries with fans.

A few days ago, a video showing the 6ix God out with friends at a food joint surfaced online. He appears to be off-duty, wearing baggy pants and an oversized tee while smiling and laughing with those around him. Seconds into the clip, a young woman bravely taps Drake’s arm, seemingly requesting a photo with him while she waits in line. At the same time, a man approached the 36-year-old with a similar question but he shot them both down before walking out with his entourage.

Drake Doesn’t Have Time for Photos

In the comments on @hip.hopfreestyle’s post, many have been debating the awkward moment. “Dude, he just tryna live. People want to live their life instead of taking pics all day,” one person defended Drake. “At the end of the day, you show support to your fans. They are the reason why you’re rich,” someone else suggested. Even if he skipped out on this photo op, fans who purchase tickets to one of his upcoming concerts will surely have the chance to capture endless snaps of Drizzy.

On his It’s All A Blur Tour, Drake will be bringing hits from albums like Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and Her Loss to the stage for the first time. Of course, it’s highly likely the Canadian icon will revisit fan favourites from deeper in his discography too. Speaking of which, one of his older LPs, Scorpion, turned five at the end of June. Tap into one of the biggest hits from that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

03 Greedo Flexes New Chain & British Accent On IG, Drake Approves

by

If there’s one thing we know that Drake loves by now, it’s an accent. The 36-year-old most frequently gives us his best British and Jamaican impressions. However, there have been a few others over the years as well. Putting on a show is obviously one of his favourite pastimes. Nevertheless, Champagne Papi also enjoys seeing others try their hand at different ways of speaking. Just last week, it was 03 Greedo who caught the Canadian’s attention with his antics in a post shared on Instagram by Nef The Pharaoh.

“Today on Chain Chain television, we’ve got two kilos of diamonds on my neck,” the recently freed rapper declares in a pompous voice as the camera records him showing off a huge chain. “And what we’re doing right now? We’re balling on these b**ch ass ni**as,” Greedo adds with a laugh, blinding viewers with his luxury jewelry. “I’m sorry, if you’re in a relationship we’re changing that,” he suavely noted to any women watching.

Afterward, Greedo made it clear that if anyone out there is looking to be loved in a romantic way, he just may be the man for them. The hilarious clip has gotten nearly 7.5K likes, and thousands of comments from people reacting to the 35-year-old. One of them came from Drake. He wrote, “This was needed today,” leading Nef The Pharoah to pin him at the very top of the post. “I appreciate it gang 🖤,” the latter wrote back.

Drake seems to be in surprisingly positive spirits considering a handful of his previously unreleased tracks surfaced online today. Two of the seven are rumoured to be on the Toronto native’s upcoming For All The Dogs album, though nothing has been confirmed at this time. Find out how to listen to them at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
