“HER LOSS” Drake & 21 Savage Album
Nearly a week after releasing their highly anticipated album “Her Lost” Drake and 21 Savage are facing a potential lawsuit with Vogue. The two recreated a Vogue magazine cover to promote the album. However, this wasn’t approved by Vogue and the duo is now being sued for over 4 million dollars and punitive damages. The album consists of 16 Tracks with the duo going bar for bar with each other. The songs Circa Loco and Spin Bout U caught traction fast. lyrics in these songs have given fans mixed emotions towards Drake. Mixing both of their unique styles together this project is well on its way to a platinum plaque with songs already on the billboards.
In the beginning of the song Circa Loco it feels like living in Miami during the Scarface era. The beat is like a mental vacation to the Bahamas. In the song Drake says “This b—th lie about getting shots but she still a stallion, She don’t even get the joke but she still smiling.” leaving fans to assume that line was about Megan Thee Stallion who was allegedly shot by Tory Lanez. Drake has yet to respond to the allegations. Rapper Little Yachty tried to speak up for the rapper claiming the lyrics were not about her.
“Spin Bout U” , A trap love song is very relatable. If you enjoy quoting lyrics on social media to express your feelings like myself you’ll find plenty in this song. Using a sample from the song “Give me your loving” by Oobie the duo was able to create a song that could be played at a wedding or inside a nightclub. This album shows both Drake and 21 Savage’s ability to colab and make great music with each other.
Overall, This album is a combination of remade songs and lyrics recreated in a new way. Throughout the songs you hear familiar sounds of old songs and flows. It’s right on time with hip hop being called one of the most dangerous businesses to be in. In the last 2 years over 20 major rappers have died from gun violence. 21 Savage, known for his violent lyrics is able to switch the motive and give fans more versatile lyrics about love and the other side of the street life. Similar to his hit single “A lot”.
