Drake On Sampling TLC For Mixtape

Early yesterday morning, Drake released his R&B mixtape’s opening track, “I Get Lonely Too”. The track samples TLC’s intro from their 1999 album, Fan Mail. Drizzy explains to Rap-Up, the motivation behind the track.

“I was in the car and I had the iPod on shuffle, and I heard T-Boz’s voice come on and I was like, damn, I never noticed the lyrics to this song and how beautiful they were because it was an intro. When I heard it, I was like, man, me and [producer Noah “40” Shebib] could do something with this, and TLC used this as the intro on their album, so I used it as the intro on my mixtape. It’s track one and it’s a great song,” expressed Drake. “I love the words in it and I love how 40 flipped the beat, so I just decided to put it out and give people an idea of the direction the mixtape was going.”

    RR staff! U’ve reached ur Drake quota for today, no more. Or are those CJ Gibson payola cheque too hard to turn down?

    Drake is a terrible singer. The better than good enough doccie singing lessons prove it. This mixtape is a bad idea. YMCA is gettin too comfy at the top. Wheres G.O.O.D music?

  18. i guess they call him rap because he raps.

    i guess u call him fag because you’re the modern-day equivalent of the white people who called my people niggers for all those decades. when your kids look back at you they will be ashamed.
