Composition

The song contains a sample of "Life After Death (Intro)" by The Notorious B.I.G. [1] In the lyrics, Drake and Jay-Z point out the negative factors associated with their fame, including a lack of loyalty toward them and people taking their kindness for weakness. [2] [3] Much of the content has been regarded as referring especially to Kanye West. [2] [4]

Critical reception

The song was met with a mixed reception. Sam Moore of The Independent called it "drumless inertia". [5] Writing for The Guardian , Alim Kheraj described the song as "sparse and underwhelming" and Jay-Z's verse "sleepy, barely present". [3] Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone deemed the song as "overly dramatic" and particularly criticized the disses toward Kanye West, writing, "It carries all of the intensity of high school bickering, but with somehow even lower stakes." [4]

Conversely, Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop gave the song a "Very Hottttt" rating. [2]
