Shining a light on fellow Toronto artist Charlotte Day Wilson, Drizzy samples part of the rising R&B artist’s 2019 track Mountains. Quotable: ‘This ain’t the same Shawn that you knew once / I don’t shine shoes, uh, this ain’t what you want, no / All that back and forth on the internet / N****, we don’t tennis that, y’all gotta do something.’ As the smokey backdrop plays, channeling the same vibes as the pair’s Pound Cake collaboration from 2013, Drizzy and Jigga address foes and disloyal friends, with one key message: never mistake kindness for weakness. However, stick with it because what unfolds is a collaborative rap masterclass anchored by arguably Jay Z’s most outspoken verse in years.
Opening with the same ‘previously on’ skit featured on The Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death album, you’d be forgiven for thinking your streaming provider was on the blink. Quotable: ‘Think I’m Tiger Woods, the way I’m teed off thе 17.’ A sluggish and dreary low-point on Certified Lover Boy, the track welcomes an injection of energy from Lil Durk midway through as well as a beat switch towards the end of the record, but even these aren’t enough to make you want to return to it. Here, Drake questions the hypocrisy of the church-going women who opt to throw shade on him because of his sexual past yet won’t acknowledge their own ‘sins’. Quotable: ‘Starin’ at your dress ’cause it’s see through / Yeah, talkin’ all the s**t that you done been through / Yeah, say that you a lesbian, girl, me too / Ayy, girls want girls where I’m from.’Ĥ. While there isn’t much substance to it, underneath the explicit tales of girl-on-girl action, platinum player lines and Drake’s bizarre claim that he’s a lesbian, the alluring production – courtesy of OZ, Ambezza and 40 – steals the show, sounding like something that could have been recorded during Drake’s Take Care era. This is the first track on the album that hears Drake dip into his singing bag, complete with arguably the catchiest hook on the project. Quotable: ‘Rap n*****s doing weak features for a pop artist ’cause they popped down / Used to wanna throw the Roc up, n*****s know how I rock now.’ If that wasn’t enough, he recruits Nicki Minaj as ‘mama’ to flex on her underlings too. On Papi’s Home, he alerts his contemporaries to the fact that he’s back and that he’s better than ever. Having been at the top of rap’s totem pole for the past 10 years – something acknowledged this summer when he was awarded Billboard’s Artist of the Decade – it’s fair to say that Drizzy has influenced his fair share of artists.
Kelly, while currently on trial for sexual abuse of countless Black women and girls, is going to be making money off the most anticipated album of the year thanks to Drake giving him a songwriting credit on #CertifiedLoverBoy And that's why both #CLB and #DONDA are trash.Only Drake could turn an obscure Montell Jordan sample into a track about something other rappers. Kelly was credited to the song as the controversial move comes while Kelly is currently standing trial in New York on child sex abuse charges. One of Drake's newest songs includes TSU and while Urban Dictionary defines the term as "Tear S*** Up," that's not what drake had in mind.Īfter going through the lyrics, it seems that Drake's TSU stands for Texas Southern University and the “TSU ladies” could be in reference to the female students at the school.ĭespite the popularity of the song, fans became outraged when they found out that the disgraced singer R. 2 Certified Lover Boy is Drake's sixth album Credit: Instagram / What does Drake's Certified Lover Boy R-Kelly credit song 'TSU' stand for?
