How is 4 lines = damn near a whole verse? That's literally 1 bar in a 16 bar verse.
Where are you getting the number 4 from? It’s the first 6 bars and then also the 8th to 10th.
Also not sure you know how to count bars if you think 4 lines equals 1 bar lol. A bar is 2 snares (or claps) if you wanna listen back and count. Idk how you came to the conclusion that it was 1 bar out of 16, it’s actually almost 10 out of 16. Damn near the whole verse certainly
oh the guy nobody ever heard of who Drake paid homage to and gave a writing credit
He tweeted this same thing like 3 years ago.

“I got a hoe named Reel to Reel
She got a buddy named SP 12, now, you know the deal
We getz freaky in the studio late night
That's why the beats that you hear are comin' real tight
Somethin' to roll to, somethin' to stroll to
If you's a playa in the game this will hold you
More money more money for the bank roll
Stick to the script don't slip in the nine-fo
A lot of fools put salt in the game
Till when these women get the notion that they runnin' the game, huh
I run my own and I'm my own self person
No respect make the situation worse then”

“I got a shorty name Texas Syn
She got a buddy named Young JB and now you know the deal
We turnt up in the studio late night
That's why the songs that you hear are comin' real tight
OVO crew, nigga, thought I told you
If you a player in the game, this should hold you
And man shout my nigga Game he just rolled through
Eatin' crab out in Malibu at Nobu
A lot of fools puttin' salt in the game
Until these women get the notion that they runnin' the game
They got money that they jumpin' on the pole to make
Did the motto, took a flight to the golden state
I'm the general, just makin' sure my soldiers straight
Had to leave my nigga, homie got an open case
But I'm big on the west like I'm big in the south
So we gon' pay some people off, we gon' figure it out
And my name too big, and my gang too big
Young Money s***, me and Lil Wayne too big
Imma crush that ass even if it ain't too big
I would pinky swear but my pinky ring too big (Wassup)”
What Drake really used was the cadence of the verse. All in all, he used 4 lines out of that verse and the rest of the verse are his own lyrics.
Trying to act like he stole something when he was making an obvious reference/interlopolation to a very popular rap song is stupid.

I never said it was “stealing” or anything negative, I was just saying that this is more extensive than a usual interpolation which is usually like 1 or 2 bars. I guess you’re only counting lyrics but the whole first 10 bars is based on it as far as flow and structure. Even with your way of looking at it I’m seeing more than 4 lines that are close to identical with drake making minor changes. 5 out of the first 6 bars alone are pretty much the same with minor lyrical changes. In all I count like 7 bars that are basically identical

But this has been done several times in the past by countless rappers. It's not a new thing. Drake loves interpolating and he usually interpolates very popular rap records. Most recently, on Seeing Green, the "who you hugging, who you wanna be loving?" line is an interpolation of a line from a Lil Kim song.
Didn't he basically interpolate like 8 lines from Eminem's Superman on Chicago Freestyle? It's not something new. That's another popular record that people immediately recognized when the song dropped.
The point here is that 4-Tay is a clout-chasing idiot for still bringing this up. People who know their rap immediately knew where Drake's cadence was from back in 2014 when Who Do You Love dropped and they knew he was paying homage to that record. 4-Tay got paid that same year so this isn't something anyone should still be bringing up 8 years later.

Yea I’m not defending 4 tay’s behavior. And no it’s not new but the “who you huggin” one is a more typical example, the Em one is a hook so it’s slightly different, this who do you love verse stands out to me as one of the only times I’ve heard it done to that extent tho, I can’t recall another verse that uses as much or more of an old track, all im saying is this one ain’t a typical example to me, it’s a little different than the usual
Did the same thing with Look alive too as far as interpolation goes, among a host of other records.
To interpolate to the extent that Drake did on this record and not reach out to 4tay 1st is weird, but Drake compensated him years ago. Don't get why he brought this back up again
Weird that he post this now, considering he actually got paid back in 2014:

Based off this idiots logic Eminem should send Drake an invoice for "ghostwriting" on Chicago Freestyle
Absolute f***ing moron
