Partynextdoor Claps Back At $$$4U Critics: 'It's An Album To Fuck To'"

Partynextdoor did exactly what needed to be done—he addressed the haters head-on. Someone had to say it, and who better than the co-creator of the album? $$$4U was never meant to be a rap album, nor was it ever marketed as one. From the start, both Drake and Party made it clear that this was going to be an R&B project, with a few rap tracks sprinkled in. And let’s be honest—the few rap songs they did include were absolute 10/10s.

The problem is that some listeners approached this album with the wrong expectations. They wanted high-energy rap anthems to blast with their boys, but that was never the intention. This album is exactly what Party said it was: something to fuck to. It’s designed to set the mood, to create a vibe, to elevate the atmosphere. If you can’t appreciate that, then that’s on you.

There’s nothing smoother than driving home late at night with a fine woman in the passenger seat, the city lights reflecting off the windshield, and $$$4U playing through the speakers. This album was made for the lover boys—guys who understand women, who embrace their emotions, and who know how to set the tone. Not every project has to be packed with hard-hitting bars or deep lyrics that require a dictionary to decode. Sometimes, music is about feeling, about ambiance, about energy.

That’s exactly why $$$4U stands out. Whether you're kicking back with your girl, sipping something smooth on a boat while watching the sunset, or even in the club, this album has a track for every mood. It’s versatile, it’s immersive, and most importantly, it’s timeless. That’s something so many artists fail to achieve, which is why their music fades out quickly. They chase trends instead of curating an experience.

What makes this project so special is the effortless synergy between Drake and Partynextdoor. Their ability to blend R&B and rap, to shift between vulnerability and confidence, is what gives the album its depth. Some people might not understand it, and honestly? That’s fine. $$$4U wasn’t made for everyone—it was made for those who get it. And if you don’t, well… maybe it just wasn’t meant for you.
