Drake‘s 10-year reign debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 ended this week when Dark Lane Demo Tapes debuted at number 2 on the charts. Kenny Chesney’s latest album proved too powerful for the 6ix God’s surprise release but that doesn’t mean that Drake’s numbers were weak by any means. The strength of his recent compilation project earned all fourteen songs a placement on the Billboard Hot 100 including two spaces in the top 10.

Though “Toosie Slide” slid down one spot to number 4, he claimed another position with the long-awaited Playboi Carti collab, “PAIN 1993.” The song debuted at number 7 on the Hot 100, marking Carti’s first top 10 single on the chart. It’s a huge milestone for the rapper, though it isn’t all that shocking. “PAIN 1993” was among the previously leaked songs that made their way onto the tracklist. Clearly, the anticipation was high for the song, especially since snippets of the song surfaced across the web.

Drake certainly did help Playboi Carti reach this milestone but it was an equally beneficial move to release the song. As it sits in the top 10, Drake has now tied Madonna for the most amount of top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Surely, he will surpass her in the months to come whether it’s from a new collaboration or the release of his sixth studio album which is expected to drop this summer. 

Internet darling Playboi Carti's collaboration with Drake, "Pain 1993," was finally released as part of the Dark Lane Demo Tapes but not everybody was happy about it. In fact, a good number of social media critics have been trashing Carti's verse on the song after so much anticipation had been built for it. One of the people who was not happy about it was producer CashMoneyAP.

Reacting to the track after listening for the first time, CashMoneyAP asked what everybody thought of "Pain 1993," revealing his own feelings about it in a tweet.

"Why is carti verse not good man," questioned the highly-touted beatmaker. 

As fans eagerly await the arrival of Playboi Carti's forthcoming project, Whole Lotta Red, one song in particular that fans have been begging to be officially released in "Pain 1993" with Drake. Though versions of the song have leaked and been previewed over the months, the song will actually find its way on Whole Lotta Red, it seems. 

Ian Connor has been steadily teasing the release of Whole Lotta Red and recently, he shared an update of sorts regarding "Pain 1993." Taking to Twitter, he shared a screenshot of a text message sent from Drake that simply reads, "So Proud 1993 Pain came to life." Tweeting out "Jöy." with the screenshot, it looks like Ian Connor is making a strong indication that the song will be out sooner than anyone thinks.

Despite being a controversial figure in the realm of fashion and culture, Ian Connor has been keeping everyone up to date on this collaboration over the past few weeks. Though there's no confirmation, it seems like Ian Connor might have a hand in whatever visual accompanies the song, if there is one. About two weeks ago, Ian Connor took to the 'Gram to share a video that included snippets of Drake's collaboration with Fivio Foreign and Sosa Geek as well as "Pain 1993." Peep Ian Connor's tweet below and stay tuned for more information on a possible release date for Pain 1993.
