<\/p>\nThe Toronto rapper overwhelmed fans and critics last night with 43 songs, spanning three projects. We tried to pick the best bars.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrake\u2019s<\/a> Iceman is finally here<\/a> and it brought along a couple friends.<\/p>\n \n\tNot only did the Toronto rapper drop his highly anticipated ninth solo album, he also dropped his 10th and 11th solo albums, effectively giving fans the Iceman Trilogy. While each project is different in its own way, he did most of his barring up on Iceman, and it seems like he still hasn\u2019t got over the 20 v. 1 battle from 2024 that ultimately culminated in his historic clash with his now-arch nemesis Kendrick Lamar<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tDrake had smoke<\/a> for the likes of LeBron James, DJ Khaled<\/a>, Rick Ross<\/a>, the aforementioned Lamar, A$AP Rocky<\/a>, Mustard<\/a>, NBA player DeMar DeRozan, Jay-Z<\/a>, and Joe Budden<\/a> (allegedly), so he clearly felt like he had some unfinished business and felt the need get some things off his chest. However, he still managed to get some witty bars off about relationships and the current state of the rap game<\/a> in regards to the charts, and even showed concern about artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n \n\tI know 43 tracks is a lot to digest, especially only a few hours after being released, but we did the hard work, so you wouldn\u2019t have to and tried to find the bars that made us sit up straight. Mind you, while Drake had a slew of features on here \u2014\u00a0from the formidable likes of Future<\/a> (!), 21 Savage<\/a> \u2014 and Central Cee<\/a>, it was Aubrey who did most of the heavy lifting on this list.<\/p>\n \n\tSo, grab some more coffee and check out what we felt were the 20 best lines below.<\/p>\n \t\u201cI feel like my phone knows we\u2019re talking\/ I think that the news knows we\u2019re watching\/ Karma is about to come knocking\/ I\u2019m so scared for what those times are\u00a0gonna\u00a0be like\/ A.I. used to be some guy we tried to be like\/ Ladies used to be free before 10 every night, now they got you all in a line standing outside\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cPrioritize\u201d\u00a0 \n\tDo you think Drake has read 1984? We need him to get behind the anti-data centers movement like he is with the Free Palestine movement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cWhat happened to Drake from 2009? When\u00a0all of\u00a0the moments\u00a0was\u00a0intimate? What happened to Drake with the innocence? I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0think\u00a0we\u2019ll\u00a0be\u00a0seein\u2019 him again\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Know\u201d\u00a0 \n\tThe success and the hate have turned him bitter and paranoid, and I can understand where he\u2019s coming from, even if I think he should try to handle things a bit differently. The summer of 2024 clearly shook him to his core.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cYou expect men you f\u2014kin\u2019 to buy you\u00a0nice things, but you\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0call it transactional\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cSlap the City\u201d \n\tHe\u2019s just like us, fr. The dating scene is in shambles in 2026, chat. Even Drake isn\u2019t immune to the nonsense, and it speaks to his ability to be relatable over the course of his career when he raps about relationships.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cMolly Santana the new Hannah Montana\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cRan to Atlanta\u201d \n\tMolly Santana has officially arrived. She just needs her own Disney show now.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cCheck\u00a0signin\u2019 is my kink,\u00a0pushin\u2019 out ink, I feel like a squid\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cNational Treasure\u201d \n\tSimple, yet effective.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cHow many\u00a0matchas\u00a0can you consume in a day?\/ Your engagement ring needs diamond testing\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cPrioritize\u201d \n\tWe don\u2019t matcha shame here, but that second line is hilarious. Imagine telling a shorty that?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cYou flew out and Shai gave your boyfriend a 30-piece all in your face\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cHurrr\u00a0Nor\u00a0Thurr\u201d\u00a0 \n\tThis is clearly a depraved individual.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cNow the penthouse in Bahamas is right next to Jordan like\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0Lebanese\/ And\u00a0apparently n\u2014as\u2019\u00a0souls is for sale like the seven seas\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Pay\u201d\u00a0 \n\tThere are instances on Iceman where he goes crazy and those are mostly my favorite moments. I\u2019m not really into the victimhood raps that are littered throughout. With that being said, I wonder what his relationship is with His Airness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cYou boys got big off my name, that\u2019s big enough\/ We know how you OGs\u00a0rockin\u2019 already, my n\u2014a, the jig is up\/ They say the truth will set you free, well, mine is\u00a0gon\u2019 stream while you watch in HD\/ They say that karma could take an eternity, yours is\u00a0droppin\u2019 the same night as me\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cJanice STFU\u201d \n\tA shot at Jigga? The god might have to take off the blazer, loosen up the tie, step inside the booth and remind him that Superman is still alive.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cThey\u00a0tryna\u00a0cover it up like a quilt\/ \u2018Rari go\u00a0skrrt\u00a0on a boy like a kilt\/Kept it a 100 on paper like Wilt\/ Trickin\u2019 it off on her,\u00a0payin\u2019 her bill\/ That\u2019s just how I do the sauce and the spill\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cJanice STFU\u201d \n\tThis is one of his better flows on one of the better songs across the three tapes he dropped last night. Drake is one of the best when he\u2019s in this zone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cWhat did I miss? When\u00a0I was\u00a0looking at y\u2019all and cooking with y\u2019all\/ And\u00a0giving out verses and bookings to y\u2019all?\/ Making sure wires were hit, man, what did I miss?\/ When you\u00a0was\u00a0all in my crib,\u00a0liquor\u00a0and hoes\/ Word for word at\u00a0all of\u00a0the shows\/ You always felt like this, man, what did I miss?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cWhat Did I Miss?\u201d \n\tRegardless of how you feel about Drake, the way everyone got at him at once was something rap has never seen before. Has to be an insulating feeling when it feels like everyone turned on you. However, there should also be some self reflection to try to understand what it is that you did to make all them so mad two summers ago. Accountability is a two-way street.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cMe, I stood ten T\u2019s and accepted the mission\/ Cause I\u2019d much rather death than submission\/ How can you press the ignition and let some memories of the past affect your decision\/ I love you cause of the history, but if we being real, I could never forgive you\/ And you never called me back, but destiny\u2019s written, for real\/ F\u2013k a big three anyway, there was too many chefs in the kitchen, it was a mess to begin with.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Pay\u201d \n\tCole might have to step in the ring and get it over with. [insert ah, shit here we go again .gif]<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cH\u0435r\u00a0ass is all natty like Florida Gator\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cWhat Did I Miss?\u201d \n\tThis line stuck out to me when this originally dropped a few months back, even though the Gators haven\u2019t won a Natty since the days of Tim Tebow.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cAnd, Khaled, you know what I mean\/ The beef was fully live, you went halal and got on your\u00a0deen\/ And your people are still\u00a0waitin\u2019 for a free Palestine\/ But apparently everything isn\u2019t black and white and red and green\/ Damn, I\u2019m\u00a0seein\u2019 everyone\u2019s true colors, for real, I\u2019m\u00a0sensin\u2019 a theme\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Pay\u201d\u00a0 \n\tDJ Khaled needs to fire up whatever social media app and stand behind his people. Enough is enough. And shout to Drake for calling for a ceasefire back in 2023<\/a> before it was cool to stand for the people of Palestine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cWhen you\u00a0was\u00a0a part of the\u00a0team, we used to be\u00a0plannin\u2019 our Mexico trip in the spring\/ We\u00a0must\u2019ve\u00a0been\u00a0dealin\u2019 the\u00a0spur of the moment \u2019cause\u00a0why did we think you could get us a ring?\/ They\u00a0braggin\u2019 \u2019bout how you went home, the f\u2014k are they on?\u00a0Crodie, we threw \u2019em\u00a0away\/ G Pop sent us a real one from\u00a0Daygo\u00a0and next thing we knew, we\u00a0was\u00a0doin\u2019 parades\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cNational Treasure\u201d \n\tDeMar DeRozan gotta get one of his rapper friends to diss Drake like Dame used to do with Cam back in the day, because Drake put him in a blender.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cI shouldn\u2019t even be shocked to see you in that arena\/ Because you always made your career off of switchin\u2019 teams up.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Remember\u201d \n\tHe will never get over LeBron being at the Pop Out, but this line is kinda ironic because one of his best friends in the NBA is Kevin Durant who also has the reputation for switching teams. The Slim Reaper hasn\u2019t left his side, though, so I digress.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cWho knows which one of his bubble-shaped tings I must\u2019ve ushered through the double gates\/ Showed her the time of her life while\u00a0broski\u00a0havin\u2019 stomach aches\/ Hearin\u2019 about good times at Lover\u2019s Lake And send her back to you while you sleepwalkin\u2019 naked in another state\/ Ah, you\u2019ll live to see another day and even if you don\u2019t, it\u2019s just another day\/ We\u00a0ain\u2019t\u00a0cryin\u2019 for your punk ass anyway\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cMake Them Remember\u201d \n\tRap Twitter is saying these bars are allegedly directed at Joe Budden<\/a>, and we cannot wait for the next episode of the pod if that happens to be the case.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cWhen it don\u2019t go your way, just hop on a plane and come to your bae\/ I\u2019ll cover you up and cover your stay\/ And split the filet and chardo-nay, okay\/ Home or away, this shit\u00a0ain\u2019t\u00a0a game\/ Let\u2019s dip overseas, I\u2019ll take you to Spain\/ You dip out the league, I\u2019ll make you the main\/ Ayy, how do you manage to Cartier Crash\/ But stay in your lane? You\u2019re one of a kind, I cannot explain ya\/ You\u2019re pressure and pain\/ Retire your number, go out with a bang, damn\/ What she\u00a0gon\u2019 do for a ring? Damn\/ Same thing I do for the gang, damn\/ That\u2019s a real\u00a0long list\u00a0of things\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cWNBA\u201d \n\tHe was flowing on this track, especially during this part of the song. Now let the internet do its sleuthing to try to figure out if he\u2019s really rapping about a current WNBA player.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cDon\u2019t\u00a0even recognize none of\u00a0th\u0435se\u00a0names at the top of\u00a0th\u0435\u00a0charts, I looked\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cShabang\u201d \n\tMe either, but we must let the youngins coming up the grace to become stars in their own right. Good line nonetheless, because he should be all over the charts next week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t\u201cI\u2019ll take $500K, not the dinner, I never could learn s\u2013t from none of y\u2019all.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSong:<\/strong> \u201cWhisper My Name\u201d \n\tYeah, Jay is gonna have to come back outside and give him a bar or two.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \t<\/p>\n \t<\/a><\/p>\n Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tThe Daily\t\t<\/p>\n A daily briefing on what matters in the music industry<\/p>\n \t\tBy providing your information, you agree to our Terms of Use<\/a> and our Privacy Policy<\/a>.![\"Billboard](\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-billboard-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
