“Diplomatic Immunity”īest lines: “The one with the fewest lies and the truest ties”ĭrizzy paid homage to the Harlem crew with this highlight cut off his 2018 teaser pack. What he lacks in tongue-twisting couplets or quick-witted flow, he more than makes up for it with incredible penmanship that just cuts straight through all the bullshit.įrom “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” to “Tuscan Leather”, here are the 18 most lyrical Drake songs of all time. But believe me, Drake is every bit as lyrical as the best rappers in the past decade. When rap fans say Drizzy isn’t as “lyrical” as Kendrick or Cole, what they mean is that he doesn’t rap as fast or switch up his flow as often.
For every TikTok dance or top 40 chorus, Drake has about 100 bars of straight fire. All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow.” Judge Pauley notes that Smith’s original “is an unequivocal statement on the primacy of jazz over all other forms of popular music” while Drake’s version turns it into “a statement that ‘real music,’ with no qualifiers, is ‘the only thing that's gonna last.When an artist becomes as big as Drake currently is – 11 number one albums and counting, he’s the rapper with the second most Billboard chart toppers – it’s easy to forget just how good they are on the mic.įor every “One Dance”, “In My Feelings” or “Hotline Bling”, Drake has a “Lemon Pepper Freestyle”, “Pound Cake” and “Do Not Disturb” waiting in the bag. But jazz was, is and always will be.” In Drake’s version, it’s cut down to, “Only real music's gonna last. All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow. In the original, Smith says, “Jazz is the only real music that’s gonna last. Pauley III broke down how the use of the sample constitutes fair use. Yesterday, a judge determined that the sample is fair use and therefore, there’s no liability for copyright infringement, THR reports. Back in 2014, Drake was sued for copyright infringement over the spoken word sample that opens his Jay Z-featuring Nothing Was the Same track “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2.” The lawsuit was brought by the estate of jazz musician Jimmy Smith, whose 1982 song “Jimmy Smith Rap” gets prominently sampled on Drake’s track.
