(incoming hate of debating and discussing song lyrics on a forum smh):
Some of you won't like this (Kanye people and people who think this narrative is tired - when it never is for Drake). But the second half (possibly most) of this song, I heard from many different levels and methods in pointing towards Kanye direction:
1) The influx he uses at the end of his lines immediately after entering the flow "the sound is CHAMpion" (CANcerous, ANswerin) is typical Kanye flow dating back to College Dropout / Graduation) - in fact, just listen to the similarities to Champion - Kanye.
2) Drake been on Kanyes head in these songs, hammering him on radio hit after radio hit, "I know yall sick of me". Seems like he feels like its still all love despite the trickery - and that he thinks Kim is realer than him (considering Drake knew kim before they got married and s***). The last line feels like a f*** you like "it aint you and Jay on the throne its Jay then me".
Yeah, I'm just talkin' outta pocket now, I know y'all sick of me
I looked at the score and y'all can't be countin' the victories
It's still all love between us, despite all the history
It's still October forever, minus the trickery
Talk about a flip the switch challenge
It's been challengin' for ten years
'Cause niggas been out here switchin' on me
And showin' how much realer that some of they b****es can be
This shout goes out to Hov 'cause it's him and then me
For real
And now, the sound is champion
The singles is dancin', the pills is Ambiens
The lightin' is ambient
The housewives is outside the booth 'cause they can't be in
"Oh, you fancy, huh?"
Oh yeah, I'm the fanciest
They said summer was canceled but I got plans and s***
Where my advances is?
Ladies, it's June, July, where all the Cancers is?
Show me your hands and s***
Even if you ain't a Cancer, throw up your hands to this
'Cause most of y'all cancerous
Michael B. Jordan call you right now, you answerin'
Even if you got a man that love you, you scandalous
You gon' take the chance and s***
You know that relationship is probably in shambles
And you know you a fan of his
Know if he gon' bring you to Miami, you scramblin'
And pack all your luggage, get on the plane and land in it
Yeah, I'm just talkin' outta pocket now, I know y'all sick of me

LNCL is a bad example, some of the bars on it are clearly Kanye shots lol

I mean you can say that but if you actually see the way Drake speaks about him, it's a topic that really f***s with him too because I think he actually really trusted Kanye and saw him as such a big inspiration.
Imagine that person betrays you (or what Drake believes he did), in such a way where you end up facing the toughest situation in your career that threatens everything you built
That s*** can f*** you up - and since he never let a diss out, he seems like he's going to make it burn for a long time
Can you say which specific song from Grad the flow is from? I'm just curious.
I listed it in there, Champion
Kanye:
You don't see just how wild the crowd is?
You don't see just how fly my style is?
I don't see why I need a stylist
When I shop so much I can speak Italian
Drake:

Idk about all this with Lucky Lefty but LNCL is damn sure entirely 200% dissing Kanye throughout the song (outside of Durk's verse obviously)
I definitely thought the champion bars was kanye-esq flow from back then as well.
I took it as Drake showing how easy it is mimick kanye style as if he tryna prove kanye got other people to do his flows/lyrics from that era. 🤷🏽♂️ Probably a reach but I couldn’t think of any other reason he might use the flow. Definitely not homage though cuz I feel he still affected by what he thinks kanye did.
