The internet thinks Drakes new album is a total flop
It is not the best time to be Drake.
The Canadian artist released a new album on Friday. So far it has not been well received. And that’s putting it nicely.
And, in case the rock you live under doesn’t have good WiFi, this came just days after Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. Lamar devoted a good portion of that show — the most watched broadcast in the country, by far — to further annihilating Drake in the beef that Lamar already decisively won.
So again: It is not the best time to be Drake, beyond, you know, the hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth.
Mashable Top Stories
The new album from Drake, in collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR, is titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The album doesn’t seem to dig too far into the beef with Lamar, referencing it mostly on the track “Gimme a Hug.” Early reviews from critics have been pretty negative. And the album doesn’t seem to be the internet’s favorite — again, putting it kindly — at least thus far. The reactions on BlueSky, for instance, seem to range from indifference to loathing.
Of course, it’s not like everyone is universally negative about the album. Drake fans, of course, have rushed to its defense, and reviews on TikTok, seemed to be more mixed.
Still, lots of posts online about the album being bad have gone viral.
So again, it’s not the best time to be Drake.

Gaming hardware tends to come with outrageous price tags, especially curved ultrawide gaming monitors. But every once in awhile, we come across a deal that stops us in our tracks. The Alienware AW3425DWN monitor is that deal.
As of July 28, you can get the Alienware 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor (AW3425DWM) for only $299.99 at Amazon. While it originally retailed for $399.99 (which is still a stellar price), the monitor recently got a permanent price drop to $349.99. Now it’s even cheaper with an extra $50 discount.
If you’re wondering why the monitor is so cheap, there are a few main factors. One, it’s a VA panel, which can often have issues with smearing and motion handling, depending on the game. On the other hand, it has deeper blacks and better contrast than an IPS panel and you don’t have to worry about burn-in as you do with an OLED panel. For what it’s worth, users on Reddit have mostly excellent things to say about the AW3425DWM.
The 1500R curved panel wraps the game around you and is pretty steep, which may take a bit of getting used to. You’ll be fully immersed in any game or world you choose. As Redditors have pointed out, it also serves as a great all-rounder for productivity and web browsing as well as gaming.

The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate aren’t the highest around, but they should serve most gamers just fine. Plus, for the price, it’s honestly hard to complain. Other perks include AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA Adaptive Sync Technology, VESA DisplayHDR 400, WQHD resolution, plenty of ports, and a small footprint design with an adjustable base. Any way you slice it, it’s hard to believe it’s under $300.
