In the supreme example of video game acknowledging video game, Drake makes a simple recognition on the lyrics to “Red Button,” the opening track from the 6 God’s surprise Frightening Hours 3 EP. The six-song collection that dropped on Friday (Nov. 17) as part of a broadened edition of his current For All the Dogs album, begins with the headlong lyrical tumble track that discovers Drizzy admiring the chart expertise of none aside from Taylor Swift
“Taylor Swift the only ni– a that I ever ranked/ Only one might make me drop the album simply a little later/ Rest of y’ all I treat you like you never ever made it/ Leave your label ravaged/ Even when you pad the statistics, duration, I never ever disliked,” he raps on the tune co-produced by Lil Yachty that surrounds his bars with an angelic chorus and a scorched-earth series of circumstances in which the Toronto native guarantees winter season is coming for his critics.
Drake– who remains in a continuous Signboard chart horse race with Swift over the most Hot 100 hits crown– launched his newest album, For All the Dogson Oct. 6, 3 weeks before Swift launched her 1989 (Taylor’s Version)the most recent in her series of brochure re-records. In 2015, Swift launched her Midnights album on Oct. 21, with the Drake/21 Savage joint album, Her Lossinitially arranged for Oct. 28, then pressed to Nov. 4, apparently providing Swift a couple of weeks to run the boards.
Her Loss bumped Midnights out of the No. 1 area on the Signboard 200 album charts upon its release.
Drake likewise discovers time to take a moderate swipe at Kanye West in a couplet recommending that the long-running fight in between them is not rather settled. “Every time that Yeezy call the truce/ He had my head pumped up/ Thinking we lastly peace it up and get to levitating/ Realized that whatever premeditated,” Drake raps about the disgraced MC whose profession melted down in 2015 after West (who now passes Ye) went on a series of despiteful antisemitic tirades
The Drake/Ye fight goes back years and though it appeared to tamp down when the 2 got together for the “Free Larry Hoover” advantage show in Los Angeles in 2021, it was reignited in 2015 with Drizzy taking chance ats West on the Her Loss track “Circo Loco” and this year’s “Search & & Rescue,” which included a sample of Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian, speaking about the couple’s split.
Drake revealed the 3rd in his Frightening Hours series on Wednesday in an sophisticated video including the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in which he exposed that he ‘d prepared the lyrics up simply days before the collection’s release.
