Drake speaks on the Origins of Hotline Bling and the girl who inspired it

[GoldenGlove]

And for those that were there, we know no one inspired it. He stole it, cha cha from dram

 

[Yaboysix]

Nygga, we ain't forgot...

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I bet Drake got a crazy hit list. He seems like he is a sex addict

 

[NYChase718]

Drake is a teenager stuck in a grown man’s body His entire catalog is about teenage shyt

What has he gone through in life he dont got shyt to talk about

 

[DeuceZ]

No accent you can sell me

 

[Ryda52]

What do you think youre proving? The lyrics and title are nothing alike and doesnt disprove how he came up with Hotline bling

Are you saying with a straight face that if DRAM never made Cha Cha, Drake would still have Hotline Bling? Like be for real, you know this shyt is all documented right?

[THE 101]

That’s a L too

And for those that were there, we know no one inspired it. He stole it, cha cha from dram

Why are we acting like both things can't be true? Y'all realize it's the sound he stole from DRAM, not the lyrics, right?

 

[desp]

Him admitting to stealing Shy Glizzy's flow for the song is more noteworthy than this

None of this has anything to do with the lyricss or how he came up with the name, which is what the video is about. Jacking a sample has nothing to do with the thread.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The same nikkas and bytches dissing him and laughin at him now we're the same ones who were his biggest fans and loved all his music back then.

shyt is just crazy how fickle fans are. Im not even a Drake fan or that big of a Kendrick fan but i did know of him and TDE back in 2005-06 when i was a huge west coast head.

Nah thy was just you

 

[Somebody]

Dude wrote his biggest hit about a whore lol

shyt bray

The way he talkin it sound like it was a shopped around song that he purchased. I feel like that’s how a lot of hits come about.

I wanna understand the politics and what’s likely the corrupt practice of a song that’s shopped as a chart topper.

nikka you just talking just to talk. Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. You knew what the fukk I meant. Anytime this nikka gets asked “who” or “what” inspired Hotling Bling, it should start with, “Well I was listening to this new guy at the time, DRAM”, and then proceed with whatever bullshyt inspiration for the topic. Ripping off an entire song ain’t jacking a sample neither.

 

[904]

I ain't fukk with the nikka from the get go

But I also didn't think much of Cole or Big Sean for a long time..

Cole got better although his albums tend to be meh to me.. I'll never be able to get into Sean's voice and delivery.. and that horrible punchline style

 

[HabitualChiller]

Because his music and public persona changed.

Drake use to be the rapper who wasn't afraid to be vulnerable talking about his relationships in songs. That's the main reason he had all the women fans, and also the reason alot of men (unfairly) called him a lame.


Now his shyt sounds like red pill Andrew Tate music. Now he raps about women like they're worthless sex objects.


People say his music never matured, but it's actually a regression because his old music was much more mature than the shyt he puts out now.

Technically, his music did mature. Most men have a simp / sensitive phase when they're young, then they start dogging them out as they get older and more knowledgeable about how women and relationships work.

You see the exact same thing with normal dudes. Now multiply that by 100 because Drake was somewhat of a heart-throb around Views.
