Drake has finally unleashed his eighth solo studio album, ‘For All the Dogs’, after months of anticipation and speculation.

The 23-track project features guest appearances from Teezo Touchdown, 21 Savage, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PartyNextDoor, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and Lil Yachty, as well as production from Drake himself, 40, Sango, Oz, Bnyx, Southside, Boi-1da, Vinylz, Tay Keith, FnZ, Jahaan Sweet, DJ Screw (posthumously sampled), Stwo, Gordo, and Justin Raisen, among others.

The album is a diverse and eclectic showcase of Drake’s versatility and creativity, ranging from introspective ballads to club bangers to experimental collaborations. It also reflects Drake’s attempt to reconnect with his hip-hop roots and pay homage to the culture that shaped him. ³⁴

But how does each song stack up against each other? Here is our ranking of all 23 tracks on ‘For All the Dogs’, from worst to best.

23. Rich Baby Daddy (feat. Sexyy Red and SZA)

This track is a misfire that tries to be a playful and humorous take on Drake’s relationship with his son Adonis and his baby mama, Sophie Brussaux. However, the lyrics are cringeworthy and offensive, the beat is generic and annoying, and the guest verses from Sexyy Red and SZA add nothing to the song. Drake should have left this one on the cutting-room floor.

22. Screw The World (Interlude)

This interlude is a short and pointless rant from Drake about how he feels misunderstood and unappreciated by the world. He sounds bitter and whiny, and the distorted vocal effects make him hard to understand. This interlude serves no purpose but to fill up the album’s space.

21. BBL Love (Interlude)

This interlude is another filler that features Drake singing over a smooth R&B beat about his love for women with Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs). The song is shallow and superficial, and Drake’s vocals are autotuned and uninspired. This interlude could have been easily replaced by a better song.

20. Tried Our Best

This song is a bland and boring breakup song that finds Drake reminiscing about his failed relationship with an unnamed ex-girlfriend. He sings about how they tried their best to make it work, but it wasn’t enough. The song lacks any emotion or originality, and the beat is dull and repetitive.

19. Bahamas Promises

This song is a mediocre and forgettable track that features Drake rapping about his lavish lifestyle and his promises to take his girl to the Bahamas. The song is full of clichés and brags that we’ve heard from Drake before, and the beat is generic and uninspired.

18. Drew A Picasso

This song is a decent but not remarkable track that features Drake rapping about his artistic skills and his influence on the rap game. He compares himself to Picasso and claims that he’s a master of his craft. The song has some clever wordplay and references, but it also sounds arrogant and self-indulgent.

17. What Would Pluto Do?

This song is a tribute to Future, who goes by the nickname Pluto in some of his songs. Drake raps about how he admires Future’s work ethic and style and how he wonders what Future would do in certain situations. The song is catchy and upbeat but feels like a fanboy ode rather than a genuine collaboration.

16. Gently (feat. Bad Bunny)

This song is a Latin-flavored track that features Drake singing in Spanish with Bad Bunny over a reggaeton beat. The song is smooth and sensual, but it also sounds like a generic crossover attempt that doesn’t showcase either artist’s strengths or personality.

15. Members Only (feat. PartyNextDoor)

This song is a smooth R&B track that features Drake singing with PartyNextDoor over a mellow beat. The song is about their exclusive relationship with their lovers, who are only for their eyes. The song is soothing and romantic but lacks excitement or innovation.

14. Slime You Out (feat. SZA)

This song is the lead single from the album, and it features Drake rapping with SZA over a funky beat sampled from DJ Screw’s “June 27”. The song is about their sexual chemistry and their mutual admiration for each other’s talents. The song is catchy and fun, but it also feels like a safe and predictable choice for a single.

13. IDGAF (feat. Yeat)

This song is an aggressive and energetic track that features Drake rapping with Yeat over a hard-hitting beat. The song is about their rebellious attitude and their disregard for the opinions of others. The song is catchy and hype, but it also feels like a generic trap anthem that doesn’t stand out from the crowd.

12. All The Parties (feat. Chief Keef)

This song is a party track that features Drake rapping with Chief Keef over a bouncy beat. The song is about their love for the nightlife and their wild adventures at different parties. The song is fun and lively but also feels like a filler that doesn’t add much to the album.

11. Polar Opposites

This reflective and introspective track features Drake rapping over a soulful beat sampled from Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”. The song is about Drake’s inner conflicts and his struggles with fame, love, and identity. The song is deep and honest, but it also feels like a rehash of Drake’s previous songs on the same topics.

10. Another Late Night (feat. Lil Yachty)

This playful and humorous track features Drake rapping with Lil Yachty over a quirky beat. The song is about their late-night escapades and their random encounters with different women. The song is funny and witty, but it also feels like a novelty that doesn’t have much replay value.

9. Daylight

This song is a bright and uplifting track that features Drake singing over a sunny beat. The song is about Drake’s optimism and gratitude for his life and his achievements. The song is catchy and positive but also feels like a generic pop song that doesn’t showcase Drake’s rap skills or personality.

8. Fear Of Heights

This song is a dark and moody track that features Drake rapping over a haunting beat. The song is about Drake’s fears and insecurities and how he copes with them by using drugs and alcohol. The song is powerful and emotional, but it also feels like a depressing and self-destructive confession.

7. Calling For You (feat. 21 Savage)

This song is a smooth and seductive track that features Drake rapping with 21 Savage over a sultry beat. The song is about their attraction and desire for their women and how they call for them when they need them. The song is sexy and smooth, but it also feels like a typical rap love song that doesn’t have much depth or originality.

6. First Person Shooter (feat. J. Cole)

This song is a hard-hitting and competitive track that features Drake rapping with J. Cole over a fiery beat. The song is about their rap skills, their dominance in the rap game, and how they shoot down their rivals with their bars. The song is impressive and intense, but it also feels like a boastful and arrogant display of ego.

5. Virginia Beach

This song is the album’s opening track, and it features Drake rapping over a nostalgic beat sampled from Pharrell’s “Frontin'”. The song is about Drake’s childhood memories of visiting Virginia Beach with his father and how he was inspired by the music scene there. The song is personal and heartfelt, but it also feels like a tribute to Pharrell rather than an introduction to Drake.

4. 8am in Charlotte

This song is the second single from the album, and it features Drake rapping over a soulful beat sampled from Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor”. The song is about Drake’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and how he regrets losing her. The song is emotional and sincere but also feels like a desperate and hopeless plea for reconciliation.

3. Amen (feat. Teezo Touchdown)

This song is an upbeat and energetic track that features Drake rapping with Teezo Touchdown over a gospel-inspired beat. The song is about their faith, their blessings, and how they thank God for everything they have. The song is catchy and inspiring, but it also feels like a genuine and humble expression of gratitude.

2. Out My Face

This song is an aggressive and defiant track that features Drake rapping over a gritty beat sampled from Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.”. The song is about Drake’s frustration and anger with the critics and haters who doubt him or try to stop him. The song is powerful and fierce, but it also feels like a bold and confident statement of self-respect.

1. Away From Home

This song is the closing track of the album, and it features Drake singing over a melancholic beat sampled from Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You”. The song is about Drake’s loneliness and isolation as he travels around the world for his music career and how he misses his home and his loved ones. The song is sad and touching, but it also feels like a beautiful and honest reflection of Drake’s life.
