For All the Dogs is the eighth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. It was released by OVO Sound and Republic Records on October 6, 2023. The album features guest appearances from Teezo Touchdown, 21 Savage, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty. Production was handled by Drake, Teezo Touchdown, and Lil Yachty themselves, along with 40, Sango, Oz, Bnyx, Southside, Boi-1da, Vinylz, Tay Keith, FnZ, Jahaan Sweet, the late DJ Screw, Stwo, Gordo, Justin Raisen, and the Alchemist, among others.

Drake first teased For All the Dogs in January 2023, and developed it mostly during the It's All a Blur Tour. Originally set for release in September 2023, the album was delayed several times and follows both of his albums released in 2022: his seventh album, Honestly, Nevermind, and his collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. For All the Dogs was supported by five singles: "Slime You Out", "8AM in Charlotte", "Rich Baby Daddy", "First Person Shooter", and "You Broke My Heart", with the latter appearing on the Scary Hours deluxe edition of the album.

Upon the album's release, critical reception was mixed, with praise for its production but criticism for its length and some of its lyrics. For All the Dogs ended up on year-end lists by several publications as one of the best albums of the year. The album set various regional and global sales records. In the United States, it opened with first-week sales of 402,000 album-equivalent units and topped the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the year's highest-selling rap album. It also earned 514.01 million global on-demand streams in the debut week, which was the largest streaming week of 2023.

Background and promotion

On January 21, 2023, during his free concert at the Apollo Theater, Drake teased the release of an album, saying he wanted to "strike up more emotions, maybe this year".[1] He also responded to the negative reception of his previous few albums, stating: "I've thought about a bunch of things in life, but at this moment in time none of those things are stopping making music for [the fans]".[2]

On June 23, Drake announced that his poetry book titled Titles Ruin Everything, which was co-written with songwriter Kenza Samir and previously teased in summer 2022, would be released on July 14.[3][4] One day later, full advertisements on the front-page of the New York Post contained an incorporated QR code.[5] Upon scanning, the QR code redirected to a landing page with a picture of two puppies above a statement: "I made an album to go with the book... They say they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me. For all the dogs".[6][7] Its title was soon officially confirmed by OVO and Republic.[8][9]

During his performance in Detroit on July 9 for the It's All a Blur Tour, his co-headlining tour with 21 Savage, Drake announced that Nicki Minaj would appear on the album, which however did not happen for unknown reasons.[10] Drake then announced Bad Bunny would appear on the album during a performance in Los Angeles on August 13, who appeared on "Gently".[11] Eight days later, Drake revealed the album artwork, drawn by his son, Adonis.[12] On August 22, Amazon Music announced on social media that the album would be released in three days along with praising Adonis for the drawing, but the statement was later deleted.[13]

On September 6, Drake confirmed the album would be released on September 22. Two days after the announcement, he shared a trailer video for the album, which was a flashback of his father, Dennis Graham, performing on the Canadian television series Stormy Monday with Danny Marks, in the early 1990s.[14] Exactly ten days after the announcement, he announced that the album would be delayed by exactly two weeks due to the ongoing tour and would be released on October 6.[15] Drake revealed the tracklist on October 5, one day before the album was released.[16]

Singles

[edit]

The lead single of the album, "Slime You Out", which features American singer-songwriter SZA, was released on September 15, 2023. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Drake his twelfth US number-one single and SZA her second.[17] The second single of the album, "8AM in Charlotte", was released on October 5, 2023.[18] The official music video was released through Drake's Instagram account on the same day.[19] The song debuted at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100.[20] The third single of the album, "Rich Baby Daddy", which features American rapper Sexyy Red and SZA, was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio on October 13, 2023.[21] The song debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[20] On February 14, 2024, its music video was released.[22] The fourth single of the album, "First Person Shooter", which features J. Cole, was sent to US rhythmic contemporary radio on October 31, 2023.[23] The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[24] Its music video was released on November 15, 2023.[25] The fifth single of the album, "You Broke My Heart", was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on November 28, 2023.[26] The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[20] Its music video was released on December 20, 2023.[27]

Music and lyrical themes

[edit]

The standard edition of For All the Dogs contains twenty-three tracks, with a playing time of over 84 minutes.[28] On November 17, 2023, the For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition was released with an additional six tracks, making the total playing time over 108 minutes.[29]

Composition and production

[edit]

For All the Dogs is a hip hop record with production described as a "sterilised studio sheen" that wanders to "an earthy fusion of soul samples and boom-bap drums".[30] The album incorporates elements of contemporary rap,[31] pop rap,[31] hardcore rap,[31] and trap.[32] The majority of the album's production was handled by Drake's OVO Sound in-house-producers, Noah "40" Shebib and Boi-1da,[33] alongside production from Lil Yachty, Bnyx, Gordo, and Drake himself, among several others.[34]

Themes

[edit]
George Clinton (pictured, left) does the outro on "All the Parties", Sade Adu (pictured, middle) does the outro on "BBL Love" (Interlude), and Snoop Dogg (pictured, right) does the outro on "7969 Santa".

The themes on the album are reminiscent of several of Drake's previous albums, including Nothing Was the Same (2013)[30] and Certified Lover Boy (2021).[35] Throughout the project spanning over 84 minutes, Drake covers topics of "petty relationship drama, rich-guy flexes, and a handful of subliminal disses".[36]

Furthermore, throughout the album, there is a radio show theme that slips in and out of focus. Several artists appear at the end of tracks as if they are hosting a radio station by the name of "BARK Radio". These artists include George Clinton ("All the Parties"), Sade Adu ("BBL Love [Interlude]"), and Snoop Dogg ("7969 Santa").[37]

Songs

[edit]

In the album's opening track, "Virginia Beach", a track which many assumed was a diss track towards Pusha T—which was later debunked,[38][39][40] Drake raps on a warped sample of Frank Ocean's "Wiseman" about the ups and downs of a fallen relationship. The album's twenty-sixth cut, "The Shoe Fits" from For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, is more of an introspective track on the album.[41] On the track, Drake confesses that he doesn't know how to rap like the "old Drake", which many fans long for.[41] On the track, Drake takes a stand against domestic violence and toxic relationships,[42] while also calling out the independent woman who primarily cater to men's needs.[43]

Artwork

[edit]

The artwork for For All the Dogs was revealed in August 2023 on an Instagram post, with the album title and "Cover by Adonis" as its caption, meaning that it was drawn by Drake's son Adonis.[12] It shows a white goat with evil red eyes standing straight in front of a black background, with a Parental Advisory label on the bottom-right corner.[44] Adonis described his artwork as "a carefree piece of work". Drake called the work "an inspiration to his 2016 album Views". Drake dedicated the artwork to his 5th grade artwork which shows a cat with blue eyes.[45]

On August 6, 2024, Drake released 100 gigabytes of data including behind-the-scenes clips, tour rehearsals, and studio footage, including three unheard tracks under an Instagram page named "plottttwistttttt".[46][47] The data was also uploaded to a website (100gigs.org). Among the 100 gigabytes of data, several unused artworks were uncovered for previously released Drake albums, including Certified Lover Boy (2021), Honestly, Nevermind (2022), Her Loss (2022), and a scrapped sequel of Care Package (2019). The website also has an unseen promotional poster for Drake's It's All a Blur Tour. Among the unseen artwork and posters, two unused cover arts for For All the Dogs.[48]

For All the Dogs was met with mixed reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received a weighted average score of 53, based on 13 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[50] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 4.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[49]

Tim Sendra of AllMusic wrote that "Drake slides back into his usual M.O. of slow as taffy pull beats, alternately aggressive and morose rapping, and topics that range from how great Drake is to how rich Drake is to how misunderstood Drake is with the occasional bit of misogyny added in to put some rotten cherries on top".[31] Shahzaib Hussain of Clash complimented the "smoky coos, chatter, static and dizzying detours" as the "production roves between sterilised studio sheen and an earthy fusion of soul samples and boom-bap drums" and remarked that while "this isn't his certified rap classic[,] it does signal a turning point".[30] Writing for Evening Standard, Will Richards wrote that "the album drags its feet and loses its cohesion" and that the "parallels simply aren’t observable when listening".[51]

Shaad D'Souza of The Guardian stated the album features some of Drake's most, "invigorated songs in many years, and sees him going toe-to-toe with younger rappers (Yeat) and producers (Cash Cobain) who force him out of his comfort zone".[52] Writing for The Independent, Nadine Smith found that "the childish pettiness and adolescent insecurities that were once endearing in their juvenilia now seem tired and immature. Instead of chilling out and settling down as he approaches his forties, [the album] sees him acting up more than ever, in ways that frequently reek not just of insecurity, but outright misogyny".[53] The Line of Best Fit's Josh Herring wrote Drake flows between R&B and rap "without warning in an often clunky and unprepared delivery". He stated that "the focus [of the album] is unclear" and that the LP is "repetitive".[37] NME's Luke Morgan Britton wrote that the album is "sadly, frustratingly and perhaps predictably" seeing Drake "succumb to many of the same worst habits that have marred his most recent records". Concluding his review, Britton noted that the LP "not only feels tiring, but sounds tired too".[54] Pitchfork's Julianne Escobedo Shepherd wrote that Drake "has yet again doubled down over a melange of styles—drill, underworld R&B, Playboi Carti's flow—and other than a few flashes of brilliance, the music can't save him from himself", stating that "the meat of this bloated 23-track album are his own grievances and a dearth of topical contrast".[35] Will Hodgkinson of The Times called Drake "a seriously good rapper" that "cannot stop himself from complaining all the time".[55]

Slant Magazine's Paul Attard wrote that "For All the Dogs isn’t so much a thematically cohesive body of work" but is instead a "bloated collection of hardly thought-out ideas that amount to a one big pity party". He stated that the album is "immaculately produced and deploys a few fun bait-and-switch beats", however, the best parts of the album are under several filler cuts.[56] Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone felt that there is "evidence of a good album somewhere within the hour-and-a-half long bloat that is For All the Dogs" but summarized the album as "meandering".[57]

In a review of For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, Shahzaib Hussain for Clash wrote that Drake "finds pockets within the grooves and crevices, foregoing lustre and grandiosity in favour of an understated performance piece". Concluding his review, Hussain stated that "Drake is Drake’s only competition".[41] HipHopDX's Nadine Smith wrote that despite the Scary Hours edition intending to "serve as evidence of Drake’s lyrical prowess and unchallenged dominance of the rap game", it instead makes him look "desperate" and "uncomfortable".[43] Roisin O'Connor of The Independent wrote that the "surprise release helps shake off the toxic sludge he waded through on For All the Dogs".[42]
