Drake took his pittyness to new heights and brought his ongoing feud with Kanye West to the airwaves.
While making a guest-host appearance on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 on Saturday morning (Sep. 4), Drake played cuts off his Certified Lover Boy album and then proceeded to play Kanye and Andre 3000’s “Life Of The Party” in its entirety. The Donda outtake was originally previewed by Kanye earlier this week in Berlin.
On the six-minute song, Kanye calls out Drake by name and addresses the group text he posted on Instagram after hearing Drake’s shots on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal“.
On the record, Kanye raps, “CyHi told me to my face that ‘Sicko Mode’ was his biggest song / But go on, ’cause Donda was the best ghostwriter I ever had”. He continued, “I put Virgil and Drake on the same text, and it wasn’t about the matching Arc’teryx or KiD CuDi dress/Just told these grown men stop it with the funny shit / I might hire the whole team from ACG.”
Ye later adds, “Thought we was the new Abu Dhabi / Told Drake don’t play with me on GD / And he sent that message to everybody / So if I hit you with a ‘WYD’ / You better hit me with, ‘Yes sir, I’m writing everything you need’ / I told you I was gonna take the summer back / So any of the cap, won’t take none of that / Where my motherfu**in’ red hat?”
Andre avoids the feud on his verse and addresses the death of his mother in 2013, “Hey Miss Donda / If you run into my mama, please tell her I said, “Say something” / I’m starting to believe ain’t no such thing as heaven’s trumpets / No after-over, this is it, done / If there’s a Heaven you would think they’d let ya’ speak to your son”.
Hours after the leak, Andre 3000 touched on the significance of the song. “A few weeks ago Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album. I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss.”
3 Stacks continued to address that he was unaware of Kanye’s new vers, “I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available. So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release. The track I received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and we were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album but I guess things happen like they are supposed to. It’s unfortunate that it was released in this way and two artists that I love are going back and forth. I wanted to be on Certified Lover Boy too. I just want to work with people that inspire me. Hopefully I can work with Kendrick on his album. I’d love to work with Lil’ Baby, Tyler and Jay-Z. I respect them all.”
