As Drake inches closer to Michael Jackson’s record of 13 No. 1 singles among solo males, the hype surrounding the album is palpable.
In a groundbreaking release, Drake’s eighth studio album, “For All The Dogs,” finally hit streaming services at the stroke of 6 am on Friday, Oct. 6, after a series of suspenseful delays.
This solo endeavor, following his 2022 hit “Honestly Nevermind,” introduces the chart-topping single “Slime You Out” featuring SZA, marking Drake’s 12th Hot 100 No. 1 and putting him neck-and-neck for fifth place in all-time rankings. As he inches closer to Michael Jackson’s record of 13 No. 1 singles among solo males, the hype surrounding the album is palpable.
Adding fuel to the fire, Drake intensified anticipation on Thursday (Oct. 5) with the release of the sixth installment in his “AM 2 PM” series, titled “8 AM in Charlotte.”
The six-minute visual spectacle, starring his son Adonis, set social media abuzz with speculation and questions. Cryptic lyrics fueled discussions about potential targets, with names like Metro Boomin, YoungBoy NBA, Charlamagne Tha God, and Kanye West surfacing in the online discourse.
However, the spotlight turned sharply to Kanye West, particularly fueled by Drake‘s third verse: “You n-ggas obsessed with me and it’s not on no hetero vibe/ Handle beef so quiet you think that I’m letting it slide/ Next thing you know we tip-toeing past enemy lines/ Diss me so long ago we making your memories fly/ Conspiracy theories start floating around like the Kennedy guy/I’ll probably hold a grudge against you guys ’til I’m 75.” This verse adds another layer to Drake’s history of lyrical clashes with West, evident in previous tracks like Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” and French Montana’s “No Stylist.”
The brewing tension between the two heavyweights in the music industry adds an extra layer of intrigue to Drake’s latest release, leaving fans and the internet buzzing with speculation and anticipation of what might unfold next in this musical saga.
