Drake's new album For All The Dogs has dominated the discourse since it dropped Friday.
The chatter hasn't all been good.
Reviews for the project are mixed.
The Pet Shop Boys are not happy Drake used the lyrics to their 1984 smash hit "West End Girls" without their permission on his track "All The Parties."
Surprising to hear @Drake singing the chorus of “West End girls” in the track “All the Parties” on his new album. No credit given or permission requested.#PetText #kobaltmusic #WestEndgirls #Drake #PetShopBoys pic.twitter.com/P5siIccTw9

If you jump to 2:35, you will hear Drizzy quote the synth-pop duo briefly.
That's a little different than a sample and strikes us as more of an homage than any kind of theft.
But we guess the Pet Shop Boys feel differently.
