Today, Toronto rapper Kardinal Offishall will release his fourth studio album (and worldwide debut), Not 4 Sale. With the LP already garnering positive reviews, it seems as if this release could kick-start an industry takeover. Proof of such a spark is evidenced by the interest of Lil’ Wayne‘s Young Money Entertainment in T-Dot actor Aubrey Graham, also known by the stage name of Drake. On the lyrical clinic Ransom, Drake and Weezy trade bars over Boi-1da‘s 5 1/4-minute beat (so complex it could be split into two different tracks). Incredibly, each rapper matches the other’s power, but you haven’t heard the alphabet until you’ve heard Weezy rap it near the end of his verse! To hear just how global hip-hop has become, look and listen for the Toronto natives in the months to come.
J Worthy, I hope Wayne wrote this cuz if not, he got murdered by someone on his own label. Drakes flow is ridiculous and he outdid Weezy. Weezy was fly on it too, but Drake shines and its bangin!
They finally got this on the Booth. T.Dot!!!!!!!!! Y'all ain't been on Drake yet....WELL...it's time to get on! All Things Fresh. This guy finna take the game over. "Same yellow n*gga that used to play up on Degrassi"! Heard this a week ago and it's been in rotation heavily ever since. J. Worthy...you must be crazy. Drake ghostwrites for other rappers. Both of the rappers wrote their own lyrics. Drake did smash Lil Wayne. He's a beast. But Wayne's verse was hotter than a lot of stuff he's been spitting. BDF44, I agree. Drake smashed this, so Wayne had NO CHOICE but to come hard or go home! But this boy Drake is my favorite rapper in the world right now. He's about to takeover...forreally though. Boi 1da dat piff as well.
5/5 ... WOW Straight HEAT!!! Put Toronto/Canada on the map Drake, Kardinal Offishall not gunna do it REAL big, maybe u can ... Wayne outstaged on this one (that rarely happens ... DRAKE is a BEAST!
J Worthy: u owe Drake an apology for saying Weezy writes for him...nah, just kidding!
Ever since i heard 'Brand New' earlier this year and then 'I Can Take Your Girl' ive become a firm DRAKE fan. NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE in the history of music syncs into rap and singing as smoothly and effortlessly as he does...and he does both ridiculously well....DRAKE's the future of the 'Rappa ternt Sanga' genre!! btw, he killed wayne on this track....
Damn dude held it down...real original...BUT WAYNE.....NEVER TO BE OUTDONE.......MURDERED IT!!!!!!!only part that threw me for a loop was when he started spelling out the alphabets
Man drake gone be a beast in the game! He gettin there! Keep holdin it down! He kind did sound like wayne tho lol./.. Banger! Wayne was koo not a big fan!
Drakes definitely not bad but I liked Waynes verse better. Drakes lyrics might have been better but waynes flow just makes me pay attention and get into it for some reason. Regardless of who hit the beat harder, the song is crazy
This dude Drake is Nice! I really really like this beat! Production is nice and tight on here by Boi 1da! Drake has a good ass flow! He even spits like Weezy a lil on this one and it is welcomed! DRAKE IS SICK on here, man! The more I listen to it the more I see he has some serious skillz! I like how the beat changes with the high hats as Wanye comes on! Wayne Ripped this right here. I think Drake did a little better, but Damn, they both killed it! HOTNESS! CLASSIC @*#$!!
Drake is finally gettin big. I been listening to the dude for about 2 years, and he never disappoints. This mixtape "So Far Gone" gonna be amazing. Not a big Wayne fan, but i dont mind him on this track even thou his lyrics kinda wack. Drake kills it, and Wayne does it nice. Look out for more by Drake and go check out hsi apst stuff if you havent heard it before
This joint is ridiculous, Drake has been my favorite since I started listenin to him about a year ago... This beat is noodles and the lines "you ain't heard of me you should go and get a blues clue, oops i mean a red clue, Wayne's here SooWhoop" Thats @*#$! crazy
D@MN!!!!
They both murdered this track, Im with BDF44 yet again, I think Weezy serves up his best when he's on a track like this with someone else capable of his lyrical capability he gets scared and just kills it haha, im doin some research on Drake right now. lol BANGERR!
This is CRAZY!!! Its amazing how Drake has progressed since the first mixtape "Room For Improvement" that i heard from him, to "Comeback Season" and now to the new one thats comin out, "So Far Gone"...He beat Wayne out on this one and Drake definitely wrote his own verse...He is a BEAST!! And if u people didnt see the VMA's tha otha night, Wayne spit a verse written by DRAKE over his misunderstood song..Tha verse that Wayne spit was from Drakes song called "Money To Blow"...if u dont believe me go to youtube and find waynes performance and then find Drakes song...
Finally Wayne came like da dude I used to like! Where you been weezy f? Drake came a lil bit harder than Wayne did I just hear a triple threat? Obviously from Degressi he can act, he can rap, and da boy can sing.
honestly, this is probably one of the worst wayne verses ive heard yet, it basically sounds like crap. drake was nice, but seriously, id like to see wayne maybe, MAYBE try to come with better lyrics and stop just spitting BS out. he repeated himself way too much, which only means that he cant think of anything else to say. many rappers better than wayne today.
Just like Lil Wayne, he's either hit or miss, but when he hits... out the park! And I ain't even play OR watch baseball. Oh, and both Lil Wayne & Drake are writing for Dr. Dre.
dam this @*#$! is straight fire. drake spit that @*#$! like a machine gun, but his style is similar to weezy's. not a fan of weezy but his verse is sick.
I absolutely love Drake. Everything I have heard from him has been pretty hot. From his first mixtape to now. And you know he got it goin on when hes up with Wayne and really doin his own thing. Most ppl are done over by Wayne, but not Drake. He's tryna get his stuff together in the US, cuz hes already kinda big in TO, and this just may be the song to help him with that. But yeah, the beat is hot, as all Boi 1da's are.
i can't believe this is the dude from Degrassi Next. Why'd Aubrey change his name to Drake? LOL! It's all right but it ain't nothin special if you ask me. LOLOL!
Dios Mio!!! Finally man oh my god! This is hot I dont care what anyone thinks about this one lol. It got a nice hype but calm beat(Which I love about it) And finally wayne isnt saying the same @*#$! over and over
Its hot..Going on my myspace page lol
RileyFreeman, you crazy if you don't Drake is spitting piff. Oh, and about that name: Drake is Aubrey Graham's middle name and that's what he decided to use as his artist pseudonym to separate the actor him from the rapper him.
iite, it took sum consideration n some close listenin to but did drake did his thing on here but he's soundin a lil like wayne for a sec. all n all im still not a Drake fan but he did his thing. lets see wat he does next.
Drake is a copy cat!! He cant even think of his own lyrics. The first line of this song came off of Jadakiss's song ALL FOR THE LOVE (at around the 2:08 mark). Is it a coincidence the first line of the song is the same as that. Hell no? He knew that was Jada's line and he straight copying him. I know phrases like "It aint trickin if you got it", many artists use but this first phrase he straight copied Jada. What u guys think

I think you're tripping E-Dub. If he did, it's called "homage lining". Rappers do it all the time....purposely. Let's stop hating and just give props....dig? A'ight then. I thought so.
E-dub yhu is trippin on some real stuff Drake writes his own stuff.....he did have other songs before being signed by Lil Wayne...and this song is crazii dope he's a beast.Y'all to start listenin to him more
For all haters on DRAKE???? If you dont know who he is than you should go and get uh blues clue oooppps i mean red clue waynes here suuwwwooopppp! haha HATERS get uh clue Drake is straight fire!!!!
this shits hot but has a beat that sounds familiar from weezy and im pretty sure Drake is singing lyrics written by weezy in this .... regardless this @*#$! is hot
it's hot. maybe wayne signed him cause his style is so similar... its guna be real sad the day that raps are written like pop music and simply spoken over a beat by some stranger who doesnt even really feel em
& patty you're always callin HIP HOP songs boring -
do yourself a favor and stick to the heavy-pop influenced rap and R&B..
this shhh iz sick...weezy think he kan kill anybody.and he feels evry1 kant out do him.he's fading out slowly.he doesnt have sh to say anymor...he steady repeatin shh he's already said on other traks...damn i giv it up 2 drake this nikka killed tha trak real tawk!!!!!
man i goin tell yall that this is the real @*#$! of the year and that lil wayne is that best nigga in the game and if some disagree come see me nigga suuuuwwwwwwwoooop
h3ll yea i disagree keydo rack daddy..lil wayne is trash na. he fell off an everyone iz gonna have to face that. he's a radio star. he's lyrcl nor creative. he puts out shh that anyone can make off there head. he needs to step up his game...unknown rappers kan murder him n a freestyle...so y3a lil wayne needs to giv that up...
