Drake’s latest album, “For All The Dogs,” has received much negative feedback from critics and fans alike.

The 23-track project, which features guest appearances by SZA, 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, and others, has been criticized for being unfocused, dull, and disrespectful.

According to Metacritic, a website that aggregates reviews of multimedia content and ranks them with a score, “For All The Dogs” has a score of 47 out of 100, based on ten current reviews. This makes it the lowest-scored album of Drake’s career and one of the lowest for a rap album in the decade.

Some of the reviews that contributed to the low score include:

Rolling Stone: “Drake meanders through yet another collection of superlong streaming bait. For All the Dogs may have sparks. But too often, he settles for subliminal bars aimed at rivals like Kanye West and Pusha T, keeping it ‘gangsta’ by putting down women and filling up the piggy bank.”²

The Independent: “On tracks such as ‘Daylight’ and ‘Fear of Heights’, he strains to fit over the futuristic ‘rage’ sound popularized by Playboi Carti. For better or worse, the album is at its best when Drake’s not there.

All Music: “It might not be the worst Drake album, but it’s definitely in the conversation.

The album also received backlash from fans on social media, who expressed their disappointment and frustration with Drake’s lack of creativity and originality. Some of the comments include:

“This album is trash. Drake needs to retire or reinvent himself. He sounds bored and bitter on every track.”

“Drake really dropped an album called ‘For All The Dogs’ and expected us to take him seriously. He’s lost touch with reality and his fans.”

“Drake is a legend, but this album is not it. He needs to stop chasing trends and go back to his roots. He sounds like a parody of himself.”

Some songs were accused of copyright infringement by Pet Shop Boys, with Joe Budden adding to the list of critics, which Drake heavily descended on. 

But Drake has not responded to any other criticism yet. He previously said that he does not care about reviews or awards. In an interview with Billboard in 2021, he said, “I don’t make albums for people who don’t understand what I’m doing. I make albums for people who appreciate what I do.”
