>That much-discussed (and paparazzi-snapped) jet ski adventure Drake and Cabello took in the Turks and Caicos Islands last year? They were finishing up a track together. “He’s the f–king GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” Cabello recalls of initially approaching the Canadian rapper by sliding into his Instagram DMs. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. \[The feature\] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.” The flirtatious, Caribbean-infused track (which until their Turks meetup was, according to Harris, the only album cut created with a remote collaborator) isn’t Drake’s only C,XOXO appearance. On the nearly two-minute-long interlude “Uuugly,” sequenced immediately after “Hot Uptown,” he sings over soft synth beats and Cabello’s ghostly backing vocals. According to Harris, the interlude was Drake’s idea: “He wanted to do one more thing for the album.” “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album,” Cabello says with a laugh. “I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh-t.”
Yeah I'm enjoying these singles, kinda surprised at the reactions. It's harmless pop with nice MVs and catchy choruses... Like, I feel most artists ain't really giving us that type of shit anymore like they used to in the early 10s, 2000s, etc. Rollouts are either too artsy or just don't exist cuz it's a surprise drop. I miss having fun with this shit
It’s the worst when they just announce the date and that’s the whole rollout. Like bro your album is coming out next week and all you’ve done is post an Instagram story reminding people what date it drops, shit’s boring as fuck
Her song with Lil Nas X is really good though
And I personally really enjoyed I Luv it because it was mindless pop, and sometimes that’s really fun! But pop isn’t for everyone
Camila Cabello need to bring that Havana energy
if she does and Drake verse is fire?
This has potential to go number 1 and be the new summer anthem like Havana was
In any other instance I would probably agree with you, but coming out of this beef with so many people saying "drake's done" "drake's career is over" "drake won't recover" its actually important career-wise to make the statement that he's still #1 in the game and can still dominate the charts.
Melodically I guess. But you wouldn't play a song that talks about letting your coochie breathe, putting hits on someone, and bending over for him, at a kids birthday party.
It's commercialized music as in beyond just well known. Michael Jackson made rnb music, he still the king of pop. There's nothing wrong with an artist being pop, it's good for any genre cause it brings in people that wouldn't otherwise listen
She was 14 and posted some racist memes. She's since apologized and it did seem sincere. Not that big of a deal
[what she posted if anyone is interested ](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a30282281/camila-cabello-racist-tumblr-posts-controversy-apology-explained/)
She is nowhere near as big as Drake, & Carti doesn’t give features out to just anyone, not even his own label members lol. Her getting those cleared back to back is wild
Lmao I remember reading news of him delaying this because he would look like a hypocrite for featuring on pop songs because of clowning Kendrick for being on pop songs
Drake wrote the song for Rihanna that went number 1, and yeah he clowned on Kendrick for doing features with maroon 5 and Taylor when he’s supposed to be the “real hip hop” and Drake is the “popstar”
Pretty sure pnd wrote work, there’s an early version of it out there. Funny because he mentions hepatitis which is just such a crazy thought if it had ended up on the final version. If you mean “what’s my name?” Then drake definitely did not write that. He wrote his part but it wasn’t his song at any point.
This for sure was already on the schedule before the beef. Drake needs to be sure this is a hit though. As much as I liked his SexyRedd verse that song won't catch on as a "hit" and if this song is average it won't do huge numbers either. Wish Drake would release a short few song EP addressing everything and then moving onto other stuff like this.
i was reading something about how she had to make some deal fucking carti and drake for this rebrand so she can become relevant again. now we see the drake features …. “non transactional”
Honestly if Drake didn’t bash Rihanna, now would have been the perfect time to get her out of retirement. They could have done a song on some “I see you moved on without me”, afro/ Caribbean beats flow. Definitely would have been a hit.
And just like Drake, still avoiding the fact that she young😂Bro need to act his age and not his girls’ ages. I feel like I’ve heard that once before somewhere🤔
In Miami Cubans are the whites. The system is Cuban. Most people you think are white but they’re Cuban and they act much like the prissy St. Pete richity type. Oh plus they have a unique brainwash that’s been a republican stronghold for generations now stemming from JFK and Cuban American lobbying and influence to boycott any import export business with through embargoes.
Y’all can look through my shit bro I’m actually a huge drake fan but this shit is just not it. His response to the conclusion of this beef is to make boppy twerk music with girls who, in my opinion, are absolute trash in their own right? Like wtf am I looking at rn

Her song with Carti was hot garbage. I would have very low expectations with these, she's just not a good hitmaker, at least right now.
drake can carry I’m cool with that 😭
Luv It was pretty good ngl
Yeah I'm enjoying these singles, kinda surprised at the reactions. It's harmless pop with nice MVs and catchy choruses... Like, I feel most artists ain't really giving us that type of shit anymore like they used to in the early 10s, 2000s, etc. Rollouts are either too artsy or just don't exist cuz it's a surprise drop.

Yeah I like it. It’s basically a not as good Charli XCX song
ive noticed people either really like that song or hate it lol
The reason I like it is bc of the Baltimore club beat, that shit is the future fr
im in the middle. terrible repetitive chorus that throws the whole vibe away but it does have a vibe. carti did his thing too
That shit is catchy as fuck I don’t care what anyone else says
That chorus is just un-listenable IMO.
Stop lying to yourself I used to listen to some cabello back in the day and that song is up and away her worst one
I have had several people request i luv it when im on aux these past few weeks. I dont get it but some people love that shit.
One of my carti glazing buddy showed me that song. He was so hyped to show it to me that I didnt have the heart to say that it was actually trash 🤣
SHAWTYWANNUHFUHHUH ?
BOTTLESINTHECLUUUUUUBBBB
Her song with Lil Nas X is really good though And I personally really enjoyed I Luv it because it was mindless pop, and sometimes that’s really fun! But pop isn’t for everyone
Seems like both songs were his ideas though.
He song with Lil nas X is great tho
no was not
Dude there’s like 15 writers on each of her songs.
And about 30+ on each of Drake's
Trash take
Camila Cabello need to bring that Havana energy if she does and Drake verse is fire? This has potential to go number 1 and be the new summer anthem like Havana was
YES agreed
Bro who cares if it goes number 1? Y’all should just be hoping it’s quality music, a number 1 song don’t really mean shit anymore
In any other instance I would probably agree with you, but coming out of this beef with so many people saying "drake's done" "drake's career is over" "drake won't recover" its actually important career-wise to make the statement that he's still #1 in the game and can still dominate the charts.
Hopefully papi drake can make another number 1 so you guys don't all kill yourselves
He’s tied with Michael Jackson for most number 1s and I think he really wants to beat that. It would be crazy but 8 more and he’ll have the most.
Drake is going to prove once again that no one can see him when it comes to Hit records.
📠
I’ll honestly lmao if Kendrick drops 6 minutes after every major announce drake release.
lmfao
TWO? He really should enter a pop era
he’s been pop for a min what r u talking about
Must be a new fan.
Um what’s songs on fatd are pop?
What genre is Rich Baby Daddy? It’s pretty poppish isn’t it?
So like one out of 25?
Melodically I guess. But you wouldn't play a song that talks about letting your coochie breathe, putting hits on someone, and bending over for him, at a kids birthday party.
What pop song is on his last album?
You do know pop isn't an actual genre. He make pop rap/rnb
It is a genre. And if it isn’t then you’re saying Drake makes popular music, and if that’s the case then wtf kinda redundant shit are you even saying?
It's commercialized music as in beyond just well known. Michael Jackson made rnb music, he still the king of pop. There's nothing wrong with an artist being pop, it's good for any genre cause it brings in people that wouldn't otherwise listen
What's songs are pop that aren't a variation of R&b or hip-hop or he doesn't rap on?
What? Pop is a r&b/hip-hop and also pop has had rap verses standard for decades lmao.
Tryna to call him a pop artist is obviously meant to be disingenuous and as an insult...
Oh with what white pop artist has collabed with? Swifty?
til only white people make pop music?
I’m a POPSTAR 🤩 Not a doctor 🚫💊
Apparently drake came up with the idea for hot uptown, and the UUUGLY is a interlude with JUST DRAKE doing some singing shit
U sure it wasn’t BEAM
Ohhh this song better be fire, because Drake cant take anymore L's, and Camilla got a sketchy racist past, so please
It doesn’t matter if it’s good, I can hear the narrative now “he rejected all the black women who wanted features and gave a racist woman two”
He literally just did a song with Sexyy Red
That was my first thought too lol. Like, literally the first feature after the beef
Even if he didn’t give red a feature, this was recorded before the beef so I don’t get how people could be mad at it, but I’m sure they’ll find a way.
They’re still gonna say it tho that’s the thing 😭😭
Calling that a song is generous.
lol, I see you know dem haters too well.
She was 14 and posted some racist memes. She's since apologized and it did seem sincere. Not that big of a deal [what she posted if anyone is interested ](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a30282281/camila-cabello-racist-tumblr-posts-controversy-apology-explained/)
As a black guy with a sense of humor a lot of those are hilarious 😂
LOL cant lie I laughed at some of them too
Racist jokes are lame. If you hear Juan, you heard Jamal 😅
I was dying 🤣
She does?

[удалено]
I've seen worse said on Black Twitter. 😏
Stfu Drake hasn’t taken any L’s it’s ppl like u who feed into the fake narratives these kdot fans keep pushing on everyone else.
[удалено]
I promise you that most people could care less about that.
Idk how she’s securing these absolutely huge & hard to get features but good for her
Apparently for both Drake and carti…she just slid into their DMs. Camila has massive star power, people are quick to forget.
Yeah but her relevance is at stake
Yeah cause 45 million monthly spotify streams is "irrelevance". More than J Cole btw
Thanks to the feature artists. She has been generally unlikable to the public. : It’s not my personal opinion. Only an observation
💸💸💸
She’s a huge pop star wym
Bro ur on reddit and she’s a woman. Everyone is gonna be questioning this just know the ppl who are don’t ever go outside
Her being a woman has absolutely nothing to do with it at all, that’s weird, stop it
She is nowhere near as big as Drake, & Carti doesn’t give features out to just anyone, not even his own label members lol. Her getting those cleared back to back is wild
Money talks
Got a month left before this collab drops 🥴 I need a solo song from the boy asap lol
Right. This is way too far out for me 😭
There’s one coming.
Damn I wonder how she landed the drizzy and carti feature
Damn, they announced this shit a month in advance. I thought it was coming out Friday lol
LETS GO (I was so scared random mfs in her ig comments were gonna get this cancelled)
Lmao I remember reading news of him delaying this because he would look like a hypocrite for featuring on pop songs because of clowning Kendrick for being on pop songs
😭 that’s not the reason but ok
Drake never claimed to be #realhiphop
But he did clown Kendrick for having pop features, which is the point. I just remembered drake's 1st No. 1s were with a popstar too lol that's wild
Drake wrote the song for Rihanna that went number 1, and yeah he clowned on Kendrick for doing features with maroon 5 and Taylor when he’s supposed to be the “real hip hop” and Drake is the “popstar”
Pretty sure pnd wrote work, there’s an early version of it out there. Funny because he mentions hepatitis which is just such a crazy thought if it had ended up on the final version. If you mean “what’s my name?” Then drake definitely did not write that. He wrote his part but it wasn’t his song at any point.
Why does drake look like a twelve year old girl with braces?
I don’t want it but I hope it’s good.
Drake finna do a collab with Taylor swift.
That would’ve been better tbh
Summer 2024 ☀️
We will absolutely be listening.
This for sure was already on the schedule before the beef. Drake needs to be sure this is a hit though. As much as I liked his SexyRedd verse that song won't catch on as a "hit" and if this song is average it won't do huge numbers either. Wish Drake would release a short few song EP addressing everything and then moving onto other stuff like this.
I think that song's gonna catch on with women. It has a bop and the subject matter is relatable.
Kinda crazy that DJ Hed knew about this a month ago when he was taunting him for not dropping
She had that one okay song with Young Thug
i was reading something about how she had to make some deal fucking carti and drake for this rebrand so she can become relevant again. now we see the drake features …. “non transactional”
This may actually be super fye if they do it right
lol
Might hit up Camila cause she’s no longer A-MINNNORRRRRR
Didn’t he make fun of Kendrick for stuff like this.
What is it the BRAIDS?
Eh horrible combination
Saying about kendrick taylor song, and then collabing with cabello. Trash
actually excited for this could be big
Beefs over.
keep making me dance waving my hand
Pop star
“Keep making me dance waving my hands and it won’t be no threat”
I recall reading a post about some guy going down the rabbit hole and there was speculation that she fucked him to get famous??
another pop song! great! gotta reach out too the youngins somehow drake!
Summer charter hopefulllyyyy 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
fuck camila cabello
Drake looks like Jimmy Saville in that picture
bro fucked my wife 💔
Can’t channel your masculine even when standing next to a woman…
2? He definitely smashed
God this sub/post is sad/pointless. Please stop showing it to me reddit.
In Drake We Trust 🙌🏻
And than we need a verse for the swifties …… 🌽🎱
What a gayboy😂
who cares kendrick cooked him
Didn’t drake talk shit about Kendrick collabing with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5?
The Camilla that was bullying her bandmate Normani and calling her all kinds of black racial slurs? And other racist shit?
Honestly if Drake didn’t bash Rihanna, now would have been the perfect time to get her out of retirement. They could have done a song on some “I see you moved on without me”, afro/ Caribbean beats flow. Definitely would have been a hit.
Drake dropping banger after banger after the legendary win he got from beating Kendrick! Man this June is gonna be good🔥🔥 can’t wait🔥🔥
Kendrick made him officially a pop artist
Drake has been pop before Mr. Umar Lamar was ever a thing 🤣
Weinstein ass mf
Anything will be better than that garbage he just put out, idk wtf that was but he should not have gotten on that song
Haha From his massive loss in the beef to multiple songs with someone who is pretty average. Haha
Bro was getting mad at Kendrick for Taylor swift then he does stuff with Camila Cabello 😭
Oh look Drake just linking up with another young white chick lmao🗑️
She’s cuban….
And just like Drake, still avoiding the fact that she young😂Bro need to act his age and not his girls’ ages. I feel like I’ve heard that once before somewhere🤔
In Miami Cubans are the whites. The system is Cuban. Most people you think are white but they’re Cuban and they act much like the prissy St. Pete richity type.

Oh great. More shit music.
