Drake - Dreams Can Buy Money
He recently dropped of a song called 'Kingz' that basically features the same sample with a replicated tempo.
Before I get too deep into this, let me inform you all that G-Eazy has opened up for Drake SEVERAL times all through last year, so Drizzy has heard of G-Eazy as well as his flow. Many accuse Drake of mimicking Big Sean's 'Supa Dupa' flow, which in fact he admits to 'borrowing' the style.
So when I drew the conclusion that Drake actually took this 'Dreams Can Buy Money' track, I can't really act surprised due because of the whole Big Sean situation. It's just a shame that hard working artists who don't get shine for putting out dope music get overlooked because industry artists seem to be the ones 'doing the work'.
For example, when Big Sean made the XXL 2010 Freshmen cover, he was asked to drop a song on the Freshmen '10 mixtape. So he and KeY Wane dropped off '4 My People', which got a lot of approvals and head nods from aspiring fans. But only a few people realized that '4 My People' was a mimic of Detroit artist Treezen's song, 'Feel Like Im Important'.
Now click those two links and I DARE YOU to tell me that the track wasn't jacked.
In both cases, I understand that the lyrics weren't taken, but there's still a line to draw...
It never made any sense to me how some of these big names artists get so much love from the game, when most styles are either bitten, plagiarized and copied. So many rappers/singers you hear out here are living off of ghost writers and their fans are so mislead on the creativity that their favorite musician possesses. Crying shame that that's the case of some of today's artists.
It's just like how the big name blogs get credit for all of the content that was originally gathered by the small media companies. They take interviews, show footage, etc. from small time blogs that are actually out here grinding and put it on their site for everyone to see.
I could go for days on how the game is corrupted with shit like this, but I'll let you guys put your 25 cents in under the comment section.
The most deflating feeling in the world is seeing everybody giving credit to somebody else for something that you created. So my point to you all is to make sure you give these other unheard, hard working musicians a chance, because they may actually be responsible for the work from your favorite artist.
