Her Loss

Product Information

Lil Yachty, who produced several songs on the album, stated "Circo Loco" did not reference Megan Thee Stallion, [43] although she responded on Twitter, writing, "Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass Niggas! The submarine Juicy J and DJ Paul flip from “Hours in Silence” is joined by reworks of Ginuwine (“Treacherous Twins”), B. Quips about group chats sound as if they’ve been sourced from Twitter, and punchlines like the already infamous one that trades on rumors Megan Thee Stallion was lying about being shot by Tory Lanez cast Drake as desperate to provoke, rather than in his ideal mode: someone tortured by the competing impulses to withhold and to overshare. Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y'all homeboys abused her.

Savage is all the more fascinating of a foil for this kind of geographic slipperiness as an Atlanta rapper born in London who is able to claim more than one country but doesn’t need to put on airs to let us know he’s a world citizen. According to reports, Drake dissed several prominent celebrities throughout Her Loss, which received widespread media coverage and controversy. On October 25, 2023, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over a two million units in the United States. After Drake announced that the “Jimmy Cooks” music video would drop on 21’s 30th birthday, online speculation about a joint album announcement gained momentum.

The audience that grew up on both “I Need Love” and “Freaky Tales,” or “Slob on My Knob” and “Brenda’s Got a Baby,” or “Not Tonight” and “Xxplosive,” or “Poetic Justice” and “She” has been hearing mixed messages about sex, sexuality, agency, and commitment its whole life.

That song’s brief turn from 21 finds the Atlanta rapper affecting something just short of a Drake impression, the danger posed by armed enemies made to sound nearly romantic (“They looking for myyyy faaaaace”). Her Loss, his new album, billed as a collaboration with Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, is a hangover from the club nights of the previous project, a speedy retreat into calculated cool-hunting and passive-aggressive aristocrat rap. From the comical fake promos during its rollout to the memorable one-liners and aggressive diss verses or the TikTok memes it will generate for months to come, Her Loss has a lot of meat on its bones".Spin Bout U” dismisses Republican lawmakers as “men who never got pussy in school” and pledges to lift up a love interest who suffered domestic abuse; then “Hours in Silence” complains about not receiving a finder’s fee for helping a significant other discover herself.

Her Loss debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 404,000 album-equivalent units, including 12,000 pure album sales, replacing Taylor Swift's Midnights (2022) from the top spot. On November 1, 2022, Drake and 21 Savage began a joint fake press run for the album, spoofing common contemporary music promotion techniques. On "Backoutsideboyz", Drake was interpreted as dissing both DRAM, saying "Try to bring the dram' to me / He ain't know how we 'Cha Cha Slide' ") [50] and Ice Spice ("She a 10 tryin' to rap, it's good on mute"). Drake pivoting into zesty dance music this summer on Honestly, Nevermind felt like a nice reprieve, but outside “Jimmy Cooks” hitting No. Just hours after Drake took to Instagram on June 16 to tease fans with his new album, Honestly, Nevermind, the rap superstar released the 14 song project.Like he once did with Lil Wayne, he cedes a little time to a considerably more magnetic rapper from the South before singing, over and over, that things are “my fault,” the lines begging for the “of course not” counterweight from a former lover which would absolve him, but never comes.

He wants you to know he’s been everywhere; you hear it in the way his voice changes up around the company. On October 26, Drake announced the album had been delayed to November 4, 2022, due to OVO record producer 40 contracting COVID-19 during the album's mixing and mastering process. It’s not entirely on Drake and 21 to fix this; it’s bleak seeing even the “Fancy” man losing interest in niceties. There are tracks on Her Loss, Drake’s new quasi-collaboration album with 21 Savage, that seem like the natural evolutions of those on 2009’s So Far Gone.

Her Loss shows us how 21 Savage is growing while revealing Drake’s tropes: the song about the hard-working woman who needs a break, the song about how he can show her the world she’s missing out on, and the song in which he later feels used after spending all that money on her. Marcus Shorter from Consequence enjoyed the album, saying, " Her Loss isn't always a deep album, but that doesn't make it any less profound. Additionally, Drizzy teamed up with South African house producer Black Coffee, who also serves as an EP.
