my goat
Yup and we also don't talk about unotheactivist

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.
im a 2nd half truther personally but i remember when it came out thinking that the stilted ass transition might kneecap how big the song could be, and that its too iffy sounding as a whole song to be a hit. papi proved me wrong tho
and im glad, the song is heat
Just like In every other field
You don’t get to the top without exploiting people below you
the only exploitative thing is drake not giving elkan a feature credit but that happens all the time in the industry so im not bothered by drake doing it. with that being said, tap in with elkan he's great

Man of the year is a hit btw
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
The point is—
There's nothing to point out
As @martian_master has shown numerous times, what happened with Nokia is normal and there's nothing to talk about
This is an obvious hate thread from one of Drake's biggest haters on the site, along with chime ins from some of the rest, including you, who tries to play coy and both sides
Stream Nokia now:

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
It’s completely different when a hip-hop legend does it vs. a completely unknown artist.
When someone like Juicy J or Pharrell does it, then being uncredited is almost MORE of a story because of how recognizable and renowned their voices are.
Nobody on the planet knows who this Elkan guy is. He should’ve gotten credited since he both wrote AND provided the vocals for the two most popular parts of the song. NOKIA would not be a hit without his contributions
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
How many albums deep is drake? It was cool when kanye crowdsourced his albums before the nazi stuff how is this that much worse

Ye came in the game as a producer and was always open about having writers.
Drake himself said his biggest hits were all him
Stream Sabrina Carpenter instead!

The 2nd half is fine enough on its own but it does make the song feel a bit messy but hey, sales = quality so I must be wrong
sabrina is taking her ideas from her
Hov did it to ye shut up f***ing dork
And Hov is a known snake
