Earlier this week, the record "Who Do You Love" from YG featuring Drake surfaced online, with Game jumping on the unofficial remix soon afterward. Produced by DJ Mustard, the record is deeply rooted in a Bay Area sound that has become synonymous with Mustard's style, and each rapper does their part to pay homage to the West Coast. Apparently, Drake went a little too far with his lyrical tribute. Veteran San Francisco MC Rappin' 4-Tay has called out the Toronto native for copying his rhymes on the song.
Drake starts off his verse rapping:
This follows 4-Tay's formula on his 1994 single "Playaz Club":
Rappin' 4-Tay voiced his displeasure on Twitter, saying Drake used his lyrics without paying homage. 4-Tay also tweeted at Drake to direct message him about the situation.
Back in 2010, Drake pulled a similar move by reciting lyrics from dead prez's "Hip Hop" on "Over," the lead single off his debut album Thank Me Later. "One thing 'bout music: when it hits, you feel no pain/And I swear I got this shit that make these bitches go insane," he rapped. But no issue between Drake and dead prez arose after the song's release.
