Say what you want about Drake, these beats are tough...any nikka with a ear will respect Madonna...sound like shyt i would cook up

edit: 04 Ginuwine - So Anxious (1999) - sampled for "Madonna"

i fukkING new it
Nah, thats Legend the first track. They actually cut to the song more or less at the tail end of it. "Sooooo anxious. So meet me at 1130...."

:comeon:

His mixtape had features with Trey Songz, Rich Boy, Malice, Little Brother and Wayne but he isn't manufactured.

I'm not even knocking these plants....it's just part of the game any more....but come the fukk on. Don't rewrite history.

Fred.

Because Rich Boy, Malice & Little Brother are such big names. shyt even Trey at that point wasn't as big as he is now.

Either you're slow or you have terrible memory.

Rich Boy had a platinum single around that time did like 100k first week....Wayne was a certified platinum artist....Trey Songz got a Grammy nom for his single....Little Brother I'll give you....Clipse was also a platinum group.....

So what are you talking about? Go record a rap album with no industry connections and see if you can get comparable artists on a mix tape. You can't....Drake was a plant. Again, I said "ok cool" but knock it off rewriting history.

what about wayne :stopitslime:

Exactly....dude left off Wayne, as if an artist building shyt from the ground up would just randomly get a Wayne feature directly before signing to him....but his rise to fame was organic. :mjlol:

Aside from Wayne, none of those features are that impressive where he'd be a plant. Look up the list of features Trey and Rich Boy have done and doing a song with an up and coming rapper isn't that far fetched.

:dwillhuh:

Even ignoring the fact that this "new" artist had platinum, Grammy nominated artists on his mix tape....which in and of itself is ridiculous....the Wayne feature alone makes him a plant.

A "new" artist gets a feature from one of the biggest names in the game....right before he signs to him....

I get that it's "Drake mania" right now but some of you dudes are throwing all logic out the window.

Fred.
