Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR – “Some Sexy Songs 4 U”
Why does this sound like an AI-generated album title?
Drake has been on autopilot for a while now, dropping albums faster than you can say “certified lover boy.” But this one? It had the energy of a half-written love letter from a high schooler who forgot to proofread. Fans expected another round of moody, late-night anthems, but what they got instead was Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR serving up lukewarm leftovers.
The problem? It lacked soul. It felt like Drake whispered his lyrics into an iPhone voice memo at 2 a.m., sent them to PARTYNEXTDOOR, and called it a day. The beats? Predictable. The lyrics? Emotionally empty. And the chemistry? Well, it was about as exciting as watching paint dry. Where was the passion? The depth? The magic? Instead of making us feel something, this album just left us scrolling through our playlists for something better.
Adding insult to injury, this album overstayed its welcome on the charts, not because it was groundbreaking, but because it was Drake-by-default. The marketing machine pushed it, the fans hate-listened, and social media kept it alive with memes. It was a manufactured hit, not an organic one. And let’s be honest—at this point, Drake could release an album of him humming into a fan, and it would still chart.
Kendrick Lamar – “Not Like Us”
This diss track had more streams than Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up.” Wait… what?
Yes, you read that right. Kendrick Lamar came for Drake’s entire existence with this track, and for a while, it was like the second coming of hip-hop beef. But let’s be real—after the initial hype faded, this song started feeling like that ex who won’t stop texting you even after you’ve moved on.
Kendrick is a lyrical genius, no doubt. But even geniuses can get a little carried away. The track dragged the beef out longer than a Marvel movie post-credit scene, and while the internet was busy making memes, the song itself started feeling less like a diss track and more like an overhyped TikTok sound.
The production? Decent, but nothing groundbreaking. The bars? Savage, but was it worth the replay? Maybe for the first few weeks. But as time went on, the hype wore off, and all that was left was another overplayed rap battle anthem.
The song became a victim of its own momentary virality. Every YouTuber, Twitter thread, and music critic dissected it to death. By the time the memes stopped rolling in, we were all just left thinking, “Okay, but does this slap on a road trip?” Spoiler: It doesn’t.
Nicki Minaj – “Big Foot”
When rap beefs go too far, you get this.
Nicki Minaj is the queen of comebacks, but this time? It felt like watching a reality TV meltdown in real time. Aimed at Megan Thee Stallion, this diss track had the internet talking—just not in the way Nicki probably wanted. Instead of serving us clever, sharp bars, we got petty insults and high school drama vibes.
The song was so aggressive yet so unoriginal, it felt like Nicki was fighting a battle that no one else was even interested in anymore. The beat was there. The flow was there. But the lyrics? They came across as a Twitter rant set to music. And let’s be real—who asked for this? Instead of giving us an iconic diss track like Shether or No Frauds, we got a messy, chaotic track that made us all collectively cringe.
Fans were left divided. Some thought it was a power move, while others felt like Nicki was just shadowboxing ghosts at this point. Either way, it didn’t give what it was supposed to give.
Sexyy Redd feat. Drake – “U My Everything”
Drake’s on here again? Damn.
Sexyy Redd had one job: make a summer anthem that would have the streets shaking. Instead, we got a song that felt like it was manufactured in a TikTok factory and left on the conveyor belt too long.
The beat? Forgettable. The lyrics? Could have been written by an AI trained on random Twitter captions. And Drake? Oh, Drake. His verse in this song might go down as one of his worst ever. The line “Girl, you the syllabus to my university” alone was enough to make us collectively mute the track.
Even Sexyy Redd, known for her confident, high-energy delivery, sounded like she recorded this half-asleep. It wasn’t a bop. It wasn’t a hit. It was a filler track in disguise, disguised as a “song of the summer.” And we were not fooled.
The problem with this track is that it felt too calculated—a desperate attempt to go viral rather than an actual song with replay value. It had the energy of an industry exec saying, “Let’s make something the kids will love!” only for it to backfire spectacularly.
Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign feat. Playboi Carti – “CARNIVAL”
The Kanye madness continues…
Ye has always been unpredictable, but this song? It felt like he threw his entire laptop into a blender and hit “export.” The track had chaos, noise, and absolutely no structure.
Ty Dolla $ign was there, but barely. Playboi Carti popped in for about 10 seconds before disappearing into the abyss. And Kanye? He was doing Kanye things—shouting, mumbling, and making everyone wonder if we were being trolled.
The beat had potential, but the execution was so all over the place that it was impossible to enjoy. It felt like Kanye was trying to be avant-garde, but instead, he gave us a musical fever dream that nobody asked for.
Final Thoughts: Did We Drag Your Faves?
Music is subjective (except when it’s bad—then it’s just bad). These songs might’ve topped the charts, but they also topped the “Turn That Off” list. Some were overhyped, some were just plain terrible, and others simply didn’t live up to the expectations set by their artists.
But hey, maybe we’re wrong. Maybe you loved these songs. Maybe you’ve got a defense case ready in the comments. 👀 Let’s talk!
