YG's hit "Who Do You Love" is still receiving heavy radio spins around the country months after its release, partially because of Drake's stellar verse on the track. Soon after the song dropped, Bay Area MC Rappin' 4-Tay called out the Toronto kid for biting lyrics from his 1994 song, "Playaz Club."
Rappin' 4-Tay's lyrics went as follow:
"I gotta hoe named Reel-To-Reel/ She got a buddy named SP-12, now you know the deal/ We gets freaky in the studio late-night/ That's the why the beats that you hear coming real tight."
While Drizzy switched it up slightly, it's clear he borrowed lines from the veteran rapper. Drake's opening lines are:
"I gotta shorty named Texas Sin/ She got a buddy named Young JB and now you know the deal/ We turnt up in the studio, late night/ That's why the songs that you hear coming real tight."
4-Tay felt Drake didn't give him proper credit, and while a lawsuit wasn't filed, TMZ is reporting that Drake & his label have agreed to pay 4-Tay $100,000 for borrowing those bars.
Several MC's interpolate lyrics from other MC's into their songs. Jay Z often quotes his late friend Biggie, and Lil Wayne has been known to quote Tupac from time to time. Should Drake have had to break bread with 4-Tay based on this one track?
