    Wow Kendrick is a piece of s*** for this.

    Unacceptable behavior.

    Pride is another example

    Chorus / Intro is Steve Lacey, Anna Wise and someone else

    But none are credited as features

    But this is normal

    J Cole has so many examples of this too, as do most rappers

    Many songs start as a producer/writer hook that the main artist takes and reworks, and any vocals that stay may sometimes not get "feature" credit

    You can't point out anything that makes Drake not look like a perfect human being without Papi's army getting incredibly defensive

    You guys are just as unbothered as your hero

    Why are chico pacas and yebba credited and not elkan?

    His part is way more central to the song than either of theirs

    He has two hooks, on both beats of the song

    Seconds wise, he is on more of the song than either of those 2

    What’s the reason

    Idk ask Pharrell. Sometimes people dont get credited as feats.

    that's literally part of the hook
    the part where he's saying names he didn't come up with either

    Ok so he redid the adlib

    And he left the part in the song where Elkan calls out the girls name

    That's what u call taking most of the song ?

    Another song?

    Kendrick cannot be top 10 imo. This is ridiculous!

    Wahhhhh!

    it would've been more surprising if his vocals weren't on the f***ing song to begin with elkan deserves whatever love he can get tho

    i think it would've been f***ed up if drake took all of elkan's vocals off the song or something along those lines but this might be the most low effort drake hate i've seen in a while

    this too!!! as far as we know rn, drake wrote all the verses. he also could've had the idea to put the two beats together

    RN the smoking gun is that drake had another artist do the hook on a big song, and that he took the 'who callin that s***' adlib

    elkan not being credited though i think has more water as a critique but even then it clearly isn't a drake pretend its all him situation.

    Yea he definitely qualifies as a feature listing.

    Ok?

    Example -

    https://youtu.be/ou8wYnh6ZBM?si=X99qcyXtJkjOfbMs

    This was released as Gun Walk (feat Gudda Gudda)

    Juicy J (who also produced the song), does the final chorus. He is not credited as a feature - only as producer (with background vocals).

    This is normal with many hiphop releases, and if you check Apple Music - Elkan has background vocal credits

    Juicy J was a part of an extremely successful and well known hip hop group and is successful in their own right having one of the most recognizable voices in rap.

    Elkan is none of those things. He deserved credit.

    That's what u call taking most of the song ?

    he isn't credited as a writer while he wrote most of the important parts
    if drake wrote those parts and let someone else sing them then cool but the producer had a song ready already and gave it to drake and drake made his own version
    the problem is that the idea for the song didn't come from drake

    Drake stans tryna switch the convo to him being credited when it’s really about him not being able to make interesting s*** without another artist giving him the sauce

    Writers aside I really like the song especially the first half but that second part does feel quite tacked on, like he didn't know how to transition between the two parts.
