Rappin 4 Tay Drake

[Blood$]

This shit happens all the time in rap. Sometimes they name drop who's being paid homage to, sometimes not. But not once have I ever felt when rappers borrow lines that its done in disrespect. If anything it's the ultimate form of flattery.

I dunno, a line or two would've been cool but it seems pretty cheap to almost cover a whole verse and not even give dude a shoutout.

Yup

especially when Drake got up front feature money off that verse plus possible royalties once the song is officially released on iTunes/radio and all that…

Fuck that bullshit.  $4-Tay is does not come off as a bitter Rapper. 4-Tay is from era where biting is not allowed at all. So 4-Tay comes off like a MC who just his shit bit by a fake ass new schooler . Drake was wrong for It . He should not move on .Someone needs to teach Drakes biting ass a lesson. Why would 4-Tay want a verse from someone so wack . 4-tay does not want to work with Drakes fake ass.
.                                           
.

What Drake did was not biting. It was literally paying homage. Drake has done what so many other rappers have done in the past. And if anyone is teaching Drake a lesson, it not a Rapper that has not made something even close to a decent album in 15 years. Why would 4-Tay want a verse from "someone so wack?" Because, at this point, he's wack himself. He is getting attention thanks to "someone so wack" dusting off his record from 1994 and bringing it back to the commercial ears. 4-Tay may not want to work with "Drake's fake ass," yet, he should. He's trying to make money.

Why do you think Wu Tang stood behind Drake after the It's Yours song dropped? They want to stay relevant. 4-Tay, if he wants to actually make some money, should do the same.

Yes, what Drake did was biting . It was not paying homage. I don't know what era you are from but the era me & 4-tat is called biting . If Drake did not admit to taking it from 4-tay it is not paying homage. 4-tay made more decent music in last 15 years then most of wack new school rapper . Why 4-tay wack because he is not relevant to new school . That is bullshit. 4-tay is not wack & never be as wack as Drake. No ,4-Tay should not want to work with Drakes fake ass ever .  He don't need drake to make money . 4-tay can make money with new music or touring .  Wu-tang did not stand behind Drake after Yours song dropped or ever . Wu-Tang has dissed dissed Drake & do not want to have anything to do with him.

I'm a big fan of 4-Tay, I mean really, but what Drake did is not "biting", biting is copying a style, a gimmick or stealing song concepts. Drake just took a 4 Tay verse and adapted it, if anything that's a nod to 4Tay, the only thing he was possibly wrong for was not mentioning 4 Tay in anyway, he could have let the fans know even with a pun like "pulling bitches, that is my forté" (dumb example). You had legends and pioneers who have resorted to biting artists worse than that. Listent to Willie D.'s Dear God and tell me he's not biting Pac. (dope song nonetheless)

I'm pretty sure 4 Tay just wanted his name mentioned and he's disappointed but he's not mad, his twitter and instagram posts are not really hateful, he's just asking his followers what they think of Drake's not shouting out 4 Tay. and 4 Tay is one of the most positive rappers there are, I'm pretty sure he'd be down to make a song with Drake. people fantasize how some old timers wouldn't supposedly compromise by fucking with more mainstream acts but the truth is that most would jump both feet in.

do you consider that biting ?

to me it's a nod to hip hop fans

it was NO promo for 4-tay because nobody besides fans like us no about 4-tay and so they dont know where the verse (lyrics) came from.
if he mentioned 4-tay wit atleast one line, that wouldve been a whole different story.

lol yeah it does sound a bit like face but really it's a complete pac rip off, from the way he stresses the words, the theme of the song, to the words he chooses, when you hear willie spittin "i'm tired of seein' my homies dyin', bullet shells, paramedics & chalklines", it reminded me instantly of So Many Tears "broken hearted as I walk by the chalkline gettin' high", "my attitude",

either way in the 90's there was some biting going on even from legendary figures. Da Brat, Master P, etc.

It was paying homage, your hatred for Drake is not letting you see that. The fact that you believe 4-Tay has made even decent music in the last 15 years disqualifies you from discussing music. You appear to be a 4-Tay fan boy. How much money is 4-Tay really making now?

And you're incorrect about Wu. U-God confirmed some type of Remix of the song that they were asked to do and that they recorded.

4 Tay's albums from 2011 and 2007 weren't half bad.

i don't think it has anything to do with the subject at hand though.
