Drake On Using Supa Dupa Flow

Friday, June 25 2010 6:01 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

These days, it seems as if nearly every song utilizes truncated similes. The style pioneered by Big Sean has been used by Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and most notably, Drake. In an interview with Allhiphop, Drizzy says he regrets adopting the flow, but doesn’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade. Macy’s!

AllHipHop.com: How much do Young Money artists bounce off each other? I noticed you have similar inflections and cadences or rhyme patterns. I noticed this one thing that Nicki said, “It’s going down. Basement.”
Drake: Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, “I shut ‘em down. Onyx.” I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like…I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music). That’s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I’ll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on “Forever.” Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They’re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don’t want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] “It’s a parade! MACY’S!”

Busta tells 1515 that for his new video “Stop The Party”, he’s reunited with Hype Williams to execute his vision. Production goes down this weekend. What’s it gon be?

“We’re gonna give the people what they want. I promise you we got something so special. That song’s taking such a life of its own. It feels like that classic, feel-good, ‘Busta Rhymes wild out the party’ energy. It was only right we brought the homie Hype back and we do something that falls in line with the other great videos that we done in the past.”
