In 'For All the Dogs', Drake, now a 36-year-old father, reveals a troubling evolution in his lyrical themes that increasingly reflect misogyny and toxic masculinity. Critics highlight the album's outright contempt for women and its inconsistency in quality, describing it as aggravating and derivative. Nadine Smith points out the album's patriarchal tone and abusive implications present in his lyrics. Measured against his earlier work, the charm that once marked his rise to fame appears sporadic within this lengthy 23-track album aimed primarily at frat boy audiences.
Drake's toxic masculinity has become increasingly hard to ignore, as 'For All the Dogs' sees him step into a role that's nauseatingly patriarchal and almost abusive.
The charm that made him a superstar only appears in fickle bursts, as the rest of the 23-song tracklist is full of try-hard trap music.
Drake's outright contempt for women stares you directly in the face when he raps lyrics that reflect a disturbing level of possessiveness and disrespect.
The album's lengthy tracklist and the inconsistent quality of its songs leave listeners questioning Drake's direction and appeal after nearly two decades in the industry.
