This may be a subliminal aimed at JAY-Z—Drake and Hov have been in a cold-war of sorts for the last few years.

Hov had his daughter in 2012, but Beyonce suspected he was cheating and devoted her 2016 album Lemonade to the topic.

Drake collaborated with Jay early in his career on “Light Up,” “Pound Cake,” and on “Off That,” but since then, the pair have done nothing but thrown subliminals.

Jay is 47 and rose to wealth and fame in his mid thirties and forties. Drake, on the other hand, is only 30 and plans on out-doing Jay by becoming richer at a younger age.

On “Sacrifices,” Drizzy teams up with Atlanta rappers 2 Chainz and Young Thug to detail the various sacrifices they have made over their lives, as well as the struggles they overcame on the way to the top of the rap game.

“Sacrifices” includes a running motif of the number “21”:

  • Drake starts his verse with “Wrote this shit January 21” and mentions Kendall Jenner turning 21, along with rapper 21 Savage. He also happens to rap that line 21 seconds into the song.

  • 2 Chainz starts his verse with: “2 Chainz, I'ma real one.”

  • Young Thug starts his verse with “I was stealin' from a bitch (slime)/Back when I was 21 (facts)” and follows it up with: “My favorite gun was a SIG (nine)/20 in the clip, head one (no cockin').”

The song also happens to be the 12th from ‘More Life.’

Car number plates in the UAE are a status symbol—the lower the number, the more they’re worth. Abu Dhabi number plates range from $10,000 to millions of dollars. In 2016, an Indian business man paid $9 million USD for a prestigious Dubai number plate.

When Drake mentions California, he’s specifically talking about Calabasas. He and fellow rapper Kanye West have recently made an initiative to rebrand Calabasas as the Abu Dhabi of the United States because of its same standing as a wealthy city.
