Any time Drake drops new music, it's an event, and his 30th birthday mix on OVO Sound Radio was no exception. On top of announcing a new project (or "playlist" as he calls it), Drake shared four new songs of various styles, and quite a few of the lines got people talking.
Whether its the perceived disses of Pusha T and Kid Cudi (the second of which arguably not in the best taste), his always colorful personal anecdotes, or the braggiest of brags, Drake knows how to get words stuck in your head, and we've gone through his new records to find a few that did just that.
Click through the galleries to find some quotables from the various tracks, and find out more about the project, More Life, here.
"Wanna Know (Remix)"
Even on the lighter tracks, Drake is hyper-aware of his competition.
"Envy and jealousy is everything I wish upon my enemies"
In one of many subliminal disses throughout his new records, he seems to acknowledge the beginning of his long-winded beef with Meek Mill, advising against taking things to social media.
"I don't run to Twitter with the things I know / I fall back to see how it unfolds"
He's still spending time in London, and dropping "ting" on regular basis, but you'll have to hit him on WhatsApp when he's abroad, Canadians have it pretty bad when it comes to roaming fees.
"Yeah, I got U.K. tings on the WhatsApp now / Like +44 on the road"
Listen here.
Two Birds
"Two Birds, One Stone"
Drake calls for the release of Lil Wayne's album.
"Free C5, how the fuck we got the boss waiting?"
He also shouts out the enviable glo-up of his dad.
"My dad used to use a soap bar till it's thinning out / But shit, look at Dennis now / All Stacy Adams and linnen'd out"
He questions the street cred of an unnamed rapper some have speculated is Pusha T.
"But really it's you with all the drug dealer stories / That's gotta stop though / You made a couple chops and now you think you Chapo"
More notable than quotable, Drake controversially takes some not-so-subtle jabs at Kid Cudi, who dissed him on Twitter, and later checked himself into rehab for depression and suicidal thoughts.
"You were the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases"
Listen here.
Sneakin
"Sneakin" (Feat. 21 Savage)
21 Savage is responsible for some of the most bleak trap of 2016, so Drake makes sure to get dark within the track's first couplet.
"This is all God's doing man you can't plan it / But if the devil's in the details then I'm satanic"
Possibly responding to Jay Z's "I Got The Keys" line, "Till you own your own you can’t be free / Till you’re on your own you can’t be me," itself a reaction to Drake's claim he "turned into Jay," on "Summer 16." Drake suggests all he needs is time. Though since it was released yesterday, Drake is already a year older than he claims to be here.
"You ain't own it right away, you had to wait on n*ggas / Man I'm only 29 have some patience with us"
After dishing out a few shots on his other releases, Drizzy continues to emphasize the degree to which he's being tested by his competition.
"Face time with my shawty on tour / And she texting purple hearts cause she know we at war"
Fake Love
"Fake Love"
Even on the poppiest song of the bunch, Drake's enemies are in the crosshairs, as he calls out the increasing number of two-faced people in his life.
"How you wanna clique up after your mistakes? / Look you in the face and it's just not the same"
However, while his other songs take aim at those he feels have disrespected him, the potential hit finds Drake questioning the authenticity of the love in his life.
"I've been down so long it look like up to me / They look up to me / I got fake people showin' fake love to me"
As usual, one could probably wager a few guesses of a specific person Drake might be speaking to in some of these lines.
