Perhaps the most memorable lines on Drake’s marathon album Views came late in the third quarter, when the Canadian rapper launched the first verse on the 14th track “Child’s Play” with a complaint to his significant other about her proclivity for starting fights in the restaurant known as the Cheesecake Factory, then proceeding to demonstrate his expertise in market demographics: a suburban mainstay like the Cheesecake Factory is a place for “families who drive Camrys and go to Disney.” (“You know I love to go there,” he adds.) Uncharacteristically for Views, Drake’s complaints on “Child’s Play” are playfully inflected: It’s impossible not to sense the cheerfulness and affection in his voice as he refers, in rapid succession, to the CVS his woman (implicitly black) visits, the Kotex she purchases there, and the Bugatti that she hijacked to drive to CVS.
