On Friday, Drake released “Scorpion,” the Toronto rapper-singer’s fifth official album, which has been met with solid reviews . Actually, it’s a 25-song double album that features Jay-Z and a Michael Jackson vocal. But hold up, hold up … HOLD UP . It apparently also includes a shout-out to UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway? That appears to be the case on the seventh track of Side 1, titled “8 Out Of 10.” Here are the lyrics: “Max said they only bless when they attached to you/The only deadbeats is whatever beats I been rappin’ to/And the product is still the best though/It’s only good in my city because I said so/Just to fit the estate man, I had to cop a feel like presto, voilà, tada/Never a matter of ‘could I?’ or ‘should I?’/Kiss my son on the forehead then kiss your ass goodbye/As luck would have it I’ve settled into my role as the good guy/I guess luck is on your side” And “Blessed” thought he made it once he became a UFC champ. Just for the record, there’s no official confirmation that Drake’s use of “Max” and “bless” in that first line is meant as a shout-out to Holloway, who hit us with the shrug emoji on Twitter in response to a user’s reaction.
