"To me, making music for girls is just the waviest thing you could do. Of all the things people could say about me..."

"I was never affected by the whole ‘This is soft, this is emotional’ or whatever. I guess I could just make music for dusty guys or whatever, but that’s not what inspires me."

Said Drake, in 2019, quoted in a new article, "Drake’s Era of Masculine Frustration/On his new album, 'For All the Dogs,' the star rapper wallows in his discontent" (The New Yorker).

I had to look up "wavy." Didn't know if it was good or bad. (It's good.) And "dusty" (it's bad. I remember when "dust" meant money (1970s)).

Anyway, about the new album, the New Yorker writer, Carrie Battan, says:

The record begins with the musician making a stony rebuttal to a woman who claimed that he should have treated her better. “Nope,” he grunts.... 

Across the album’s twenty-three tracks, Drake returns to the same hardened sentiments. “I don’t like the tone of your replies,” he tells a woman on “7969 Santa.” Later, on a single with SZA called “Slime You Out,” he delivers an almost comically disdainful riff: “I don’t know what’s wrong with you girls,” he announces. “I feel like y’all don’t need love / You need somebody who could micromanage you.” ...

Ah, it's not for me to explore the sexual politics of Drake, and the New Yorker writer didn't serve up any of the kind of pithy feminism the headline seemed to offer. "Masculine Frustration"? Wallowing in discontent? I got my hopes up.
