live for was literally made in the final hour before the album had to be turned in. it was obviously not inspired by anything. if anything it was probably pressure from the label to have a drake track on the album for the mainstream appeal.
Highly recommend rewatching the Live For video though, really contributes towards understanding its placement on the album if you have a keen eye
when he plays the kissland track its gonna be peak vibesssssss
out of body experience hearing that for the first time
Tbh I don't think Live For was really inspired by anything in particular. Only track you can say that about.
Inspired by drake owing him for the best tracks on take care really

Yeah it's clearly still not the best track lmao, still a handy bit of respite given the orgy of noise that surrounds it
I wish I was older when KL dropped I would have definitely had the urge to search some of these samples up, this is incredible I can’t believe I’ve never heard it lmao
my head canon is that For your eyes only got swapped out for Live For due to the label
Take Care deserves to be counted as one of Abels classics
He had a big enough impact on that projects success to share some of the glory
