THATS G!

So a friend of mine brought this to my attention the other day. There’s a line between quoting and jacking and I think it’s clear what side Drake is on at this point. Hip hop is known to as a sampling culture but when you do it you got to pay homage and it’s evident that Drake definitely needs to pay his respects. Taking lines and tweaking them as your own gives no credit to the mind that actually came up with it. Press play and compare Drakes second verse to Dead Prez’s first one, he not only takes the words but his whole style of delivery. Not Cool.

"Uh, one thing 'bout music
When it hit you feel no pain
White folks says it controls your brain
I know better than that
That's game and we ready for that
Two soldiers head of the pack
…” -Dead Prez ‘Hip Hop’



“One thing ’bout music, when it hits you feel no pain
And I swear I got that shit that make these bitches go insane
So they tell me that they love me, I know better than that, it’s just game
It’s just what comes with the fame, and I’m ready for that, I’m just sayin’…”- Drake ‘Over’
