For all the hits that 21 Savage and Drake have produced — including “Sneakin’,” “Jimmy Cooks,” “Mr. Right Now” and “Knife Talk” — their recent joint album, “Her Loss,” falters all potential expectations. 

The duo did make a promising start with “Rich Flex.” It had great energy and a call-and-response between 21 and Drake to begin the song, making it seem like the rest of the album would be far more collaborative than it actually was. 

Unfortunately, “Her Loss” had too much Drake and too little 21 Savage for my liking. Of course, Drake made up for 21’s absence with corny, uninspired lyrics like,“Cuban girl, a fan of ground coffee.”

The lengthy, 16-track album did have some shining beacons of light like “P*ssy & Millions” The songs that do outshine the rest have good energy, yet it all seems familiar. Nothing was revolutionary.

These beacons, however, don’t make up for Drake’s out-of-pocket slights toward Meg Thee Stallion, DRAM, Ice Spice and Alexis Ohanian. Drake simultaneously dragged 21 Savage into random beef and made a fool of himself in “Her Loss.”

Drake makes a reference to Tory Lanez shooting Meg Thee Stallion in “Circo Loco.” Drake raps, “This bitch lie ’bout gettin’ shots, but she still a stallion.” Ironically, Meg also happened to have a writing credit on the album’s first track “Rich Flex” — not a good look for Drake. 

Meg responded on Twitter: “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol.”

“Circo Loco” sampled Daft Punk’s “One More Time,” making it an unfortunately good song. It is a shame that it is clouded by Drake’s disrespectful and out-of-touch penmanship.

If there wasn’t enough irony in Drake calling out someone who contributed to his album, he puts on a show and calls himself a feminist in the track “On BS.” 

Drake raps, “I’m a gentleman, I’m generous/ I blow a half a million on you hoes, I’m a feminist.” 

As a self-proclaimed feminist, Drake also calls out politicians in “Spin Bout U,” another standout song. Drake sings, “Damn, just turned on the news and seen that men who never got p*ssy in school/ Are makin’ laws about what women can do.”

His feminist act may have been convincing if it weren’t for him calling women hoes and making a mockery of another woman, whom he benefitted from, being shot. 

On the bright side, Drake and 21 compliment one another in “On BS.” The repeated lines of 21 rapping, “On that bullshit, on that bullshit,” was also a perfect reflection of Drake’s approach to this album.

Drake also calls out Serena William’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, in “Middle of the Ocean” in an unnecessary and unnatural way. 

Drake interrupts his flow and raps, “Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie.”

A bitter Drake has unabashedly supported Serena Williams at her matches even after their failed relationship, making this line more embarrassing for him than Ohanian. 

Ohanian responded on Instagram and wrote: “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife and daughter.” 

In another ironic move that sums up this album’s attitude, Drake calls out a girl for putting him down to make her feel better about herself in “Hours in Silence.” 

He sings, “My confidence is super low … Know you got my confidence on sale/ Case you wanna feel better ’bout yourself.”

Drake, is that not what you were doing this whole album? 

Where “Her Loss” falters, 21 and Drake made up for it in the album’s rollout. They released a fake Vogue cover, which resulted in a lawsuit from Vogue; a fake Howard Stern interview, which impressed Stern; and a fake SNL performance, which was released as a music video. 

Despite this hilarious rollout and occasional 21 features, I do not recommend this album unless you are looking for a predictable, narcissistic album. 

“Her Loss” is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube Music and other streaming platforms.
