So you’re just using her to your convenience. You don’t consider that she is a woman with feelings who enjoys being around you.īy the time the outro trails off, I’m completely grossed out and disappointed in Drake. Then you proceed pushing your “toy” around, telling her she might as well pack an overnight bag because she’s going to end up staying wherever you are. SMH, Drake. I was right all along! You’re the one summoning her and as soon as she does something you don’t like, you threaten to send her back to the “hood” where you found her. I just wanna let you know that someone love you backĪll the Cadillac, like I'm Teddy Pendergrass Took you from the hood, and I could never give you back Pack a bag you gon' end up staying where I'm at Momma is a saint, yes she raised me real goodĪll because of her I don't do you like I shouldĭrake has the gall to mention how well his mother raised him, and how because of that, he doesn’t treat his conquest like he “should.” Wait one darn second, Drake. You mean everything you’ve said until this point has been chivalrous and well-mannered? Worthy of your momma's ears? I beg to differ, you’ve been nothing but a chauvinist from the very start of this song.Īnd what do you mean with “Don’t make me give you back to the hood?” Is your feminine conquest a puppy you have to return to the pound? She’s probably a grown woman who's at your apartment because you begged her to come over at 3am, when you were lonely and horny, because you hate sleeping alone. He goes on to say all he has to do is take her to the mall and buy her a few things because that’s how easy she is. The woman in question is like a game to him, one which he has mastered. This riveting excerpt in the hook of Child’s Play is Drake telling his female conquest how their “situation” is real life and he already knows how she likes “it.” I presume he means sexually.
Take you to the mall and get you a new outfit This is not a fairytale, I already know how you like it Have we forgotten the strides women have made in the NBA? Maybe this is all about your bruised ego since you ride courtside as a wannabe coach, while women like Becky Hammon and Nancy Lieberman actually have a say in plays. Some women just like basketball. I know it may be an absurd idea for some of you to understand, but it’s something you fellas are going to have to deal with. Reducing women’s interest in basketball to just wanting to “get some D” is archaic. Really? Let me get this a straight, a woman is incapable of enjoying basketball just for the sake of enjoying it? No time is wasted in Child’s Play before we hear a monologue of some guy basically saying if a woman goes to a season opening basketball game, it means she's having a sexual relationship with someone on the team. She's fucking somebody on the basketball team Let’s dissect these less than desirable lyrics together.īest believe, she's fucking some n****s on that team Of the tracks found in Views the one whose patriarchal tone stood out to me the most was the fourteenth track: Child's Play. Why Drake? WHY? Weren’t you raised by a beautiful strong woman? Don’t you love women? Then why do you insist on speaking so negatively about them? Views carried out the same air of misogyny of Drake's previous albums. With club bangers, feel good beats, and a diss track or two…or three, it's almost impossible not to jam out to it nonstop.Īs a Drake fan, I pride myself in supporting his music- which can sometimes carry a hint of sexism- but I felt, deep in my heart, Views would be different. It is undoubtedly a good one, joining Adele's 25 as the only two ablums that have sold over a million this year.
The long-awaited album finally dropped Spring of 2016. Drake was in the lab cooking up his newest piece of work Views for a long time.
