The Daunting Decline of Drake on ‘For All the Dogs’ - The Ringer

Back in 2014, Drake still spoke his petty truth to power. He was 28 years old, Kanye West was 37, and the latter had a punchline problem bad enough to be addressed on the public record. “There were some real questionable bars on [Yeezus],” Drake told Rolling Stone. “Like that ‘Swaghili’ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn’t say some shit like that.” But Drake’s criticism didn’t stop there. A 45-year-old Jay-Z—fresh off a Samsung software update disguised as an album—also caught a quick stra…

‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ and the Death of the Black Prestige TV Bubble - ...

Perhaps the most telling—if cynical—part of Amazon’s new Mr. & Mrs. Smith series occurs in the opening minutes of the second episode. Over bagels and lox, Maya Erskine’s Jane asks Donald Glover’s John what inspired him to go down the path of high-risk espionage and 40-hour-a-week drudgery. In his winking and meta way, Glover simply responds “money,” as the couple laugh, knowing there’s rarely another answer. For almost two decades, this hyper self-awareness has been Glover’s signature. Mr. & Mrs…

‘Baby Reindeer’ Review - The Ringer

Charles Holmes and Jodi Walker debate the merits of Netflix’s newest hit, Baby Reindeer, in which a struggling comedian is made to deal with both a female stalker and his own dark past. They examine just how the show subverted viewer expectations, the way it leaned into (and away from) the true crime angle, and its brave portrayal of trauma.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar Is the Last Great Rap Beef. Thank God.

Editor’s note: This piece was published about an hour before Kendrick dropped another Drake diss—“Not Like Us”—his fourth in four days and third in 36 hours. We can assume it won’t be his last—in fact, he raps on the latest track: “How many stocks do I really have in stock? / One, two, three, four, five, plus five,” so that means we may be getting 10 … total? Ten more? You have to admire this level of dedication to pettiness, even if it’s running our copy editors and production team ragged. Rap…

Kendrick Won the Beef. Then He Made a Drake Album.
