Starting point is 00:00:00 The mascot, the leader, the goat of hip hop is gearing up to drop what I personally believe will be an R&B album. I know a lot of people see the title for all the dogs and they just think Drake's going to come on with hard take Keith, eight away type beats and rap him. Like, if you're reading this, it's too late. but I don't know why. Of course, it's completely speculation. I just feel like the rollout for this album has been very intent on being,
Starting point is 00:00:43 on showing his soft side from the painting of nails. And not even to paint the nails. The painting nails is yellow to the face care routine, showcasing that for no reason, to doing a, doing an interesting. with a white girl that nobody knew, but her first interview for her podcast was Drake.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And I guess you could say that's hate, but at the end of day, if that's a fact, I don't know how much hate is involved. So anyways, so he did a, he did an interview with Bobby, Althoff, I think that's how you say her name, and basically I bring up white because, of course, for this to be such a soft album showcasing how vulnerable he can be doing an interview in bed with a younger white girl could play to a certain demographic
Starting point is 00:01:48 for a complete R&B album if that makes sense. I don't think this is going to be the hard-hitting for the streets type of album that everybody thinks is going to be. be, I feel like that Drake is going to gear up to give us a complete album of him singing. Of course, I can be completely wrong, but that's just my prediction. That's why I think he's going with this whole rollout.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Of course, I think him and Bobby, like since then, the interview on her page has been taken down, but, you know, it's just Drake being petty. He didn't got his marketing clout, and so he's already done. He gave her the rollout for her to go on 20 other podcasts to promote their podcast, I guess. But what Drake set out to accomplish by infiltrating a certain demographic, he already deal with Bobby. So that's why I feel like this would be a softer album. And even the features that's been confirmed tells me that this is going to be a softer album. I mean, Bad Bunny, you really think Drake is going to be rapping street-type lyrics on a Bad Bunny feature?
Starting point is 00:02:58 like come on now niki menage do you really think niki minage is going to try to go bar for bar with niki i believe they're both just going to be singing kind of like how let's see if i can find it little wayne had this track with nicky which i think is one of their best collapse ever it's on cardiff five which i'm pretty biased for i don't know why card of five came out came out and i don't know if people gave it the credit that deserve anyways so the cardiffar came out 2018, right? Little Wayne had this track with Nikki. It was called Dark Side of the Moon. I think it's going to be a Dark Side of the Moon type track where Drake may not be completely just singing the whole time, but it's going to be like
Starting point is 00:03:44 a slower tempo type of vibe. And Nicky's going to come in like she did when she used to sing a lot on Pink Friday. And basically it's just going to be a R&B soft track. Like I feel like Drake is going to be putting out one of the softest albums ever created in his discography. Like the way that people are going into this, obviously, I'm open to be wrong, I'm going to keep repeating that. But I feel like Drake is going to come on the track or come on the album in a way that a lot of people aren't expecting him to come on an album titled for all the dogs. But if you look at the cover art, which now we're going to get into it, you know, shameless plug in it like Dreams video. his kid made a art and a cover for all the dogs so basically adonis which i think is his name made a doodle of a dog and that's why i'm calling it because you know you don't want to be too harsh
Starting point is 00:04:45 on a child and his drawing talents you know what i mean so adonis you know made the cover art for for for all the dogs and what this reminded me of if you look along with me at once again analytic dreams video on spotify to get the video element but travis scott also had a lot of alternative albums covers for utopia i'm not gonna lie i actually thought this was the album cover for utopia and it would have made sense because the way that travis scott was going with the whole mantra of utopia was utopia is wherever you are i guess it's like a your life is the utopia i don't know if that's i'm explaining it right but it's like utopia is wherever you are that's what he was basically trying to get at um yeah so this cover art right here i don't think this is going to stick at all
Starting point is 00:05:43 but if you do go to the cover art there's no way y'all y'all look at this right here and think this is going to be a hard hitting album like I think this is going to be filled with Drake's your singing, like just straight up singing, not really caring. Wow, you really have to go down for the dogs. I can't find a cover art. What in the world? Wait a second. This person always pops up in Drake's Instagram.
Starting point is 00:06:14 So always wonder why. I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know who that is, but always pops up. And, yeah, that's all I'm saying, because I'm currently looking up the, here we go. Let's just, let's just open this up right. quit so basically this right here there's no way y'all telling me drick is gonna be giving us if you're reading this two bar uh if you're reading this too late type bars with this type of cover art this man's gonna be singing his heart out i i just you know at the end of day i'm open to be
Starting point is 00:06:49 wrong as i keep saying but i thought it's gonna be his softest album he ever put out and uh i don't know if that's good or bad i'm just saying what i think and i feel like like and I think that Drake's singing for an entire album, it may be a little much for me to handle. Like I don't know if that's going to be something that I'm anticipating, but with the goat, the mascot, the leader of hip hop, I feel like we'll accept anything from Drake. And at this point in time, with him releasing the album title for all the dogs, seemingly this Friday. That was another thing.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Well, actually, that was one of the bigger things is everybody. Everybody thinks this album is coming out Friday, which is August 25th. So we're going to see, man. I don't think it will, but I'm open to being wrong. And the only reason I don't think it will is because Drake's been all over the place with this album rollout. So I can't pinpoint anything with his release date. So I think he's just trying to see who's going to. drop and knowing the underlining beef between him and Taylor Swift be on the lookout for a
Starting point is 00:08:06 Taylor Swift deluxe announcement or just a complete new album from Taylor Swift because I don't know if a lot of people been been peeping it but every time Drake dropped something uh Taylor Swift coincidentally always has a new album deluxe edition or something to try to compete with Drake on the charts because they're on the same label. And let's just say maybe Taylor Swift's relationship with Scooter Braun is not as solid as Drake's. So she's trying to one up him every chance that she gets. Because if you don't know, Drake and Taylor are both.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Well, Taylor's independent now. But they were both under, let me see, Republic, which is by Universal Music. because universal music is just a big dog in the music industry like they have the most money they give out that's why all the famous artists are under universal so anyways drake is under yeah republic records division of UMG and taylor i believe taylor's like independent at this point that's why she's been well maybe she just let me let me fact check let me see is it speak now yeah taylor swifts just completely independent because you know she brought it back from i think she bought it back from scooter bra and i think that's what's name but what was the last one
Starting point is 00:09:33 before the taylor's version evermore was that it trying to see what was the last time taylor put out on an album that wasn't her taylor's version folklore was that it i don't know i can't find they ain't gonna lie 2019 uh 2017 oh okay that makes sense well taylor smith taylor Swift bought back all the rights for her music. So I'm guessing they just erased it from existence because she definitely used to be on Universal. But now it just completely says Taylor Swift. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Anyways, if, if, um, my point still stands because if Taylor Swift wasn't under universal at all for those albums, she wouldn't have to release a Taylor's version. because just because she recently brought the rights doesn't mean that she's still going to make 100% from a past album. So with these Taylor version albums, she gets 100% of those projects and those go directly to her. So, yeah, I do think that she's still being petty with the whole going back and forth for Drake because he's on the Universal. You know, she felt like she, you know, got screwed over a little bit about Scooter Braun. So every time that Drake drops, guess what? Taylor Swift may be coming with an extra six-pack.
Starting point is 00:11:18 What would Drake say for your headtop? But Taylor Swift definitely wants all the smoke. But at the end of the day, who wouldn't? When you're basically outselling everybody in music and being compared to the artists who are not even hearing them more. So Taylor Swift is definitely in the league of Rome. And she tries to showcase that every time that Drake drops. I feel like.
Starting point is 00:11:45 So anyways, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Drake? Revealing the alternative cover for his album for All the Dogs and how it was drawn by his son Adonis, his little doodle of a dog. That's all I'm going to say,
Starting point is 00:12:06 because, you know, a kid drew it. So, you know, you got to be respectful. And at the end of day, are you excited for this album? And what type of tempo or vibe do you think we'll get for all the dogs? You think he'll be a rap-centric album with hard-hitting 808s or a lullaby of a project with a lot of vulnerability being exposed combined with vocals.
