Overnight Drake released his highly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs. The project seems to have delivered everything fans could want. It has plenty of intrigue with both listed features and behind-the-scenes contributors. 21 Savage, SZA, Bad Bunny, Lil Yachty, Chief Keef, Yeat, Teezo Touchdown, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Sexyy Red all make appearances on the album. Even more big names find themselves being called out to varying degrees of disses.
Another artist who appears on the project is J Cole. He makes an appearance on the track “First Person Shooter” which is already emerging as a fan favorite. It’s the third time the pair have teamed up on record following Cole’s song “In The Morning” and Drake’s single “Jodeci Freestyle.” Earlier today, Cole’s manager made a tweet about the new track. “I would tweet a link to promote the new tuneee by Drizzy & Cole but I’m assuming by this point you already know it’s out. Enjoy this moment because it’s rare to see two people who’s been so great for so long still be this good. Also enjoy this album cause that boy Drake special,” his post reads.
I would tweet a link to promote the new tuneee by Drizzy & Cole but I’m assuming by this point you already know it’s out. Enjoy this moment because it’s rare to see two people who’s been so great for so long still be this good. Also enjoy this album cause that boy Drake special.
Last week, Cole teamed up with Lil Yachty for a new track called “The Secret Recipe.” On the song he delivers some lyrics that many interpreted as shots at NBA Youngboy. Even though Cole’s manager denied that they were about Youngboy, Cole had even more to say about the rapper on “First Person Shooter.”
On the new song, Cole addresses the rumors of beef. He clarifies that despite the public impression, he still wanted to make a song with Youngboy. Judging by how the rapper has responded to Cole’s repeated mentions, that doesn’t seem like it’ll happen any time soon. Youngboy quickly responded to both the times he was mentioned. What do you think of J. Cole and Drake’s new collaboration “First Person Shooter”? Let us know in the comment section below.
All day today rap fans have been digesting Drake’s highly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs. He gave fans quite a bit to chew over with a feature packed tracklist. SZA, J. Cole, Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, and many more appear across the album’s 23-song tracklist. The project also reignites MANY old beefs that Drizzy has dealt with in the past. But it may have even sparked some new beefs with various artists whose songs were used without permission on the album.
Earlier today Rye Rye came forward claiming that the sample Drake used of her vocals wasn’t cleared. She claims that her vocal appear on the song “Calling For You” which features 21 Savage and appears early on the album. She made a tweet explaining how much she appreciates artistry but that she can’t even celebrate her inclusion because she wasn’t credited. Now, synth pop duo Pet Shop Boys are making similar accusations. They made a tweet claiming that the interpolation of their song “West End Girls” on the For All The Dogs song “All The Parties” was never cleared. “No credit given or permission requested,” they conclude their tweet on the issue. Check out their full statement below.
Among the attempts that Drake makes to restart numerous beefs on the album, Rihanna and The Weeknd stand out the most. The Weeknd is the only one whose name was mentioned directly, but fans online are still debating whether it was intended as a proper diss or not.
Rihanna on the other hand go an entire verse full of wordplay making reference to her. It repeats the word Anti over and over, which is the name of Rihanna’s last album. What do you think of Pet Shop Boys claiming that Drake used their song without asking them for permission? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drake finally dropped his eagerly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs this morning. The project includes features from the likes of J. Cole, Lil Yachty, Bad Bunny, and more. It even features the Canadian hitmaker’s 5-year-old son, Adonis. Fans were glad to wake up to the new LP, but were quick to notice that something was missing.
Back in July, Drake claimed that Nicki Minaj would be featured on the album during one of his shows. “Me and Nicki Minaj did our first song in like, a really long time,” he told his Detroit crowd. “I got a lot of love for her.” This, of course, got fans excited to see #Dricki reunited. The Barbz have been looking forward to hearing Nicki’s contribution to the album, and are let down that it just inexplicably didn’t drop.
Fans were so thirsty for answers that they even took things up with Drake’s dad. One Barb called him, sharing a clip of their conversation on Twitter. Unfortunately, Dennis wasn’t able to provide much intel, telling the fan “I have no clue what you’re talking about.” This has left the Barbz to speculate. Some are suggesting that the missing collab could be a reflection of Drake’s questionable loyalty to Nicki.
Many claim that Drake used Nicki and her fanbase to promote his new album, but failed to actually deliver what he promised. Some have also dug up an old clip of Drake praising her longtime rival, Cardi B, and bringing her out onstage at OVO Fest in 2019. Considering the beef Nicki and Cardi have had going on as of late, some think the scrapped feature indicates that Drake’s trying to play both sides. What do you think of fans calling Drake’s dad to ask about the missing Nicki Minaj collab? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Drake and Nicki Minaj.
When it comes to listening parties for Drake’s new album For All The Dogs, perhaps none were as popular or memorable as Kai Cenat’s. Moreover, the social media star streamed on Twitch for ten hours, during which he also recorded his first listen to the highly anticipated project. What’s more is that Kai made the occasion that much more special by having… well, a lot of dogs in the room with him as he listened. Overall, the New York native seemed to really enjoy it, and you’ve probably seen your fair share of dance clips and reactions to it online. However, what people are really talking about when it comes to this sessions is the very special guest that chimed in for an appearance.
Furthermore, none other than Drake himself FaceTimed Kai Cenat in the middle of his first reaction to For All The Dogs. Of course, they chopped it up concerning the album, with both of them sharing their excitement and their thoughts on it from wildly different perspectives. In fact, some fans speculate that the Toronto superstar actually referenced the AMP crew head honcho in the album. “My youngins richer than all you rappers, and they all stream,” he rapped on the J. Cole collab “First Person Shooter.”
Obviously, Kai Cenat had a pretty excited reaction to that bar, and it shows how far their bond has come. During the stream’s call, the 21-year-old told Drake he’d be in Toronto for some of his final stops of his 21 S*vage joint tour, It’s All A Blur. Cenat had previously joined Central Cee, Trae Young, Roy Woods, and many more as special guests for tour performances. He also showed Kai that he was with Boi-1da and a few other members of his close circle.
Meanwhile, the streamer said that the wait from 12AM EST to 6AM EST for the album drop was wild, but definitely worth it. The 36-year-old also thanked fans in the chat for their support, participating in the reactions, and showing love. With a request for Kai to keep listening and do his thing, he left the call, and it made for a pretty sweet moment. For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Kai Cenat, stay up to date on HNHH.
As rapped in his cult-classic song “Know Yourself,” Drake enjoyed riding around his hometown, Toronto, Canada (or the 6), with his woes. According to TMZ, fellow rapper and collaborator 21 Savage might be riding shotgun with him soon. The outlet has reported that 21 Savage will appear at both Toronto dates (October 6 and 7) of the It’s All A Blur Tour.
The joint tour initially kicked off in July. However, due to 21 Savage’s immigration case, he hasn’t been allowed to perform during the international dates. When the tour made a two-night stop (August 29 and 30) in Vancouver, Travis Scott filled in as a special guest. Before that, J. Cole did the honors for the Montreal shows on July 14 and 15.
Drake’s new album, For All The Dogs, has arrived at last — and with it comes a whole new batch of caption-ready quotes from one of rap’s preeminent quote writers. However, in the past few years, his propensity for dropping groan-worthy clunkers in addition to relatable gems has grown as well — call it a side-effect of being a proud dad, that Drake’s resistance to dropping dad jokes has eroded away completely.
Most rap punchlines have always been a hairsbreadth away from being the worst kind of stand-up comedian-style puns, with the only difference being how willing they are to “commit to the bit” with their delivery, cadence, intonation, and sheer audacity. Mostly, though, it’s a matter of taste; some listeners love it rappers go for a twisted homonym, while others will wish they had a stack of tomatoes handy for convenient tossing.
Drake’s willingness to make himself the butt of the joke comes with similar risks and rewards — and because he’s Drake, easy target extraordinaire, it often backfires as much as it benefits him. And, the increased casual homophobia on this album aside (we need to talk about this, Drake), For All The Dogs is no exception. With the addition of his son Adonis on one of the tracks, the “dad joke” quality of his worst lines is highlighted even more. Here are some of the best — and worst — examples from the album.
The Best
5. The song: “Daylight”
The line: “She broke up with him and deleted a post / She said she was vegan, she eatin’ a goat”
I’ll admit it’s not GREAT (we’ve heard so many similar lines from so many other rappers at this point). But it’s still pretty funny, despite the lack of originality. Also, for what it’s worth, Drake’s probably the first rapper we’ve heard say something similar that actually has a reasonable claim on the “greatest of all time” title.
4. The song: “Virginia Beach”
The line: “We ain’t even gotta mention that, any n**** try and trouble you / He gon’ find out that it’s on sight like W-W-W”
I like the homophone of “on sight”/”on site,” along with the reminder that once upon a time, we really used to say the “Ws” in web addresses. It’s also nice to see Drake sticking up for a woman instead of nitpicking her for a change.
3. The song: “Slime You Out” Feat. SZA
The line: “This ain’t the littest I could get on you b*tches / Send wires on wires on wires like Idris”
The Wire is one of the top five greatest shows in the history of television. Any and all references to it are automatically bulletproof and unquestionable. I don’t make the rules. Plus, having recently attempted to send a wire transfer recently, I’m in awe of the man’s patience to put up with all the hoops most financial institutions make you jump through just to send one, let alone “wires on wires on wires.”
2. The song: “Amen”
The line: “You my baby, so I gotta put you in the crib / Same neighborhood where Ashton Kutcher live / I’m just doin’ what that punk should have did”
First of all, the set up on this shows more forethought than a lot of the runner-up one-liners that showed impressive wordplay but less than creative construction. But also, I’m just a fan of reminding more people that Punk’d was a thing that happened — and it was glorious. Celebrities take themselves too seriously these days; bring back television that takes the piss out of them every once in a while!
The line: “N****s talkin’ ’bout when this gon’ be repeated / What the f*ck bro? I’m one away from Michael / N****, beat it, n****, beat it”
Look, if you’re going to drive a pop culture reference this far into the dirt, there better at least be a monumental boast behind it. Anticipating surpassing the King of Pop for the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits in the chart’s 100-year history is one helluva flex.
The Worst
5. The song: “7969 Santa”
The line: “Got you out here movin’ waste like a belt”
Booooo. This is one of the worst not because it’s stretched past its breaking point or awkwardly constructed. It’s just lazy. Drake has done both better and worse than this, and listeners would rather he tried for one or the other than just settling for this middle-of-the-road stinker.
4. The song: “Slime You Out” Feat. SZA
The line: “You got my mind in a terrible place / Whipped and chained you like American slaves”
Come on, man. This one not only makes the same mistake as the one above, it throws in being in absolutely terrible taste. Then, to make matters worse, Drake’s falsetto is sure to set “all the dogs” in your neighborhood howling. It’s almost as bad as his Blackface incident a few years ago, which at least had the benefit of being satirical (poorly executed satire but satire nonetheless).
3. The song: “Members Only”
The line: “Feel like I’m bi ’cause you’re one of the guys, girl”
WOOF. Drake heard the commotion about his “Girls Want Girls” hook from Certified Lover Boy and decided to double down. This one has the added drawback of being crooned in that unique way that Drake draws out his most inane come-ons, making it extra torturous to sit through.
2. The song: “8AM In Charlotte”
The line: “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate / Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian”
Give this one credit for being memorable, but in terms of over-the-top puns, this one has more reach than Victor Wembanyama. The only reason it’s not the absolute worst one on the album is because the worst one immediately follows it.
1. The song: “8AM In Charlotte”
The line: “Formal is the dress code, dawg, so many checks owed / I feel Czechoslovakian”
The fact that Drake ends this line by interjecting “what the f*ck” is utterly, head-spinningly appropriate. Drake… what the f*ck, man? He sounds impressed and appalled at the same time, almost like he’s impressed by how appalling the line was when he said it. Meanwhile, listeners are appalled and impressed that he left it in.
The time has come: Drake’s new album For All The Dogs is officially here!
Clocking in at 23 tracks, For All The Dogs sees standout features from 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Lil Yachty, and Teezo Touchdown. The project is supposed to see Drake returning to his old self, touching on more sentimental and vulnerable topics.
Fans have been waiting patiently since the original September 22nd release date, but Drake had to focus on his tour. Drizzy explained his situation by stating, “Okay my dilemma I am faced with is either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show. I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to-date we will be spinning back for sure. For All the Dogs October 6th. It’s only right…”
Just one day prior, Drake surprise dropped his single and visual for “8AM IN CHARLOTTE,” solely to his Instagram page. Quickly accumulating 2 million likes and over 300 comments, the video saw his one and only son Adonis drawing what appears to be the cover art to the project. In fact, Adonis referred to the image as “Daddy Goat.” Of course, this is synonymous with Drake’s music career, as well as his role as a father.
As you know, Drake has been on the road on his It’s All A Blur Tour, making headlines left and right (girls throwing their bra on stage, fans trying to get on stage, etc.). The release of the project was going to coincide with the first of two concerts in his hometown of Toronto… but it looks like he has other plans.
Delays be damned, Drake’s long-awaited album For All The Dogs has finally seen the light of day. The “Slime You Out” rapper brought out the big guns for the project’s special appearances. So, is Nicki Minaj featured on Drake’s For All The Dogs? Fellow musicians Bad Bunny, J. Cole, Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, and more all pop in for a guest verse. However, Drake’s Young Money comrade is notably missing.
After teasing that they were linking back up for a track in September, this blatant omission isn’t sitting well with fans. During an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Minaj confirmed that the song would make the final tracklist, saying, “You know, I have a song on Drake’s album coming out soon, too. I love the song so much. I’ll just say I really love the song. I know my fans are going to love the song. I know the world’s going to love the song. And that’s all I will say about that.”
Later in the conversation, Minaj revealed that Drake didn’t turn in his verse for her album either. “Barbz, make sure y’all let Drizzy Drake know that Pink Friday 2 is coming out November 17 as well. And we are waiting on his contribution,” declared Minaj, instructing her fans to remind him of his obligation. Maybe Minaj’s forthcoming album will make up for the missed collaboration, or if Drake drops a deluxe edition of For All The Dogs with the unreleased track.
Late last night Drake dropped his highly anticipated new album For All The Dogs and fans are spending a lot of time dissecting it. There are stacks and stacks of talented collaborators on board for the project. J. Cole, 21 Savage, SZA, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, Lil Yachty, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Yeat, and Teezo Touchdown are the credited featured and there’s even more talent involved behind the scenes. But people are also talking about multiple artists who don’t even appear on the album, as they allegedly get dissed in the lyrics.
One of the biggest reported disses Drake threw out is at Rihanna on the song “Fear Of Heights.” It comes pretty early on the album and the very first verse is littered with some not-so-subtle references to Drizzy’s former collaborator. The most obvious and direct is his repeated use of the word Anti, which is the title of Rihanna’s critically acclaimed 2016 album. But throughout the verse, he makes reference to the pair’s past together. They’ve allegedly dated at numerous points from 2009 all the way up to 2018. Now, Rihanna has two children with another rapper, A$AP Rocky, who seemingly also gets referenced in the verse. Check out the entire song below.
Another high-profile artist who might have been dissed is The Weeknd, though fans are still divided. Drake does call him out by name and draw direct comparisons to his old rival PARTYNEXTDOOR, so it’s certainly possible. Other fans think it’s more of a statement on who Drizzy’s realest fans are.
J. Cole makes an appearance on the album’s song “First Person Shooter.” During his verse on the song, he takes some shots at NBA Youngboy. It didn’t take Youngboy long to respond to the shots he fired, responding before most people had even heard the song. What do you think of Drake’s shots at Rihanna on his new song “Fear Of Heights”? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drake’s For All The Dogs contains a lot of guests, collaborators, features, and behind-the-scenes contributors… too many to credit, it seems. Moreover, rapper and signer Rye Rye recently took to Twitter to blast him for featuring her uncredited vocals on the track “Calling For You” featuring 21 S*vage. In a barrage of tweets, she also detailed how this isn’t the first time this has happened to her, marking a pretty nasty pattern if everything is as she says. Of course, you can see her credited on sites like Genius, but most listeners won’t put a name to the voice.
“REALLY @Drake MY VOCALS AGAIN?” Rye Rye tweeted. “& NO CREDIT? I really wanna be flattered but I feel like it’s trolling ATP OMG …one of my fave artists doing this I don’t know how to feel anymore. But thank you for reminding me that my 15 year old vocals are still legendary. This is not funny this sent me into a deep depression and made me angry inside the first time. Now I gotta relive this again after I was semi trying to push through. WTF I wanna be happy but like how.

“Like how tf lil John chair squeaking sample get credited on currents over my actual voice WTF,” the Baltimore native continued against Drake. “I’m feeling angry inside all over again.. I feel so disrespected.. guess that’s how the game goes huh lol bettttt. Ruined my whole f***in day I don’t even wanna fly nomore. Sitting here crying but I can’t be a sucker. I gotta turn this s**t into motivation. I always been strong and I feel it in the universe ima get what I deserve. Make me wanna turn into a b***h but ima let me heart keep being pure.

Now it’s been made clear and yall still just can’t give credit.
More Tweets From Rye Rye
Fuck clout ..nigga going tell me he think I just want recognition from drake ..no I just want ppl to stop using my shit if they can’t properly credit me this goes to whoever who now knows ..and if I did want recognition rightfully so something of mine was used
This the generation of sampling and it starts from the little ass producer kids who started using me in club mixes …at first it was for no profit I understand that & some ppl didn’t know where it came from til now but yall outta hand atp
Honestly it was never even about the money when drake first sampled me if I would’ve woke up to credit like I should have received I would’ve been perfectly fine.. somebody to that caliber ..the label / team ain’t no rookies they should’ve made it right first time
“That s**t takes nothing at all,” she went on. “When I used the ‘anything you can do I can do better’ sample in my song it was my label job to CLEAR that before it came out. This for all the ppl saying it’s the producers. Yea ultimately BUT if you’re on a major they should be clearing all samples prior to releasing. And I’m not venting to social media thinking it’s gonna get me paid. But some ppl can see it and offer help/advice. Also it’s my voice ppl know it and bringing it to my attention so I can speak on it if I want tf yall weird af. ” For more news and updates on Rye Rye, Drake, and For All The Dogs, log back into HNHH.
