Hit maker wa ngoma kali za ragga na dancehall kama Tamale,,mov ya body,galang,i dont know why i love you nk,Mr. Vegas, amemjia juu katika mitandao ya kijamii Canandian
rapper,Drake.
Mr. Vegas alihoji “Why did
Drake link Beenie Man to on sing back that record if that’s the one he wanted?
Or why let Beenie Man do something new?” asks Vegas. “So then I’m listening to
the record further and at the end of the record when the record done, you can
hear the record fin, Beenie Man doing the outro. So I’m like, Drake is
rampaning my artists! You using my artists as intro men!”
Vegas is
referring to Beenie Man’s blatant “Tear Off Mi Garment” sample throughout
“Controlla” that he feels the 6ix God didn’t take full advantage of. Vegas then
refers to another reggae-sampled chune on Views – “Too Good,” which
features Rihanna and Popcaan.
“I’m
listening to the record like, “Where’s Poppy? So me say fast forward and at the
end of the record again is another sample and the sample is from Popcaan. An old
Popcaan record!”
What Vegas
found especially troubling with Drizzy’s reggae sampling on Views was
that no reggae artist sampled got credit. “Does the real Drake really love
dancehall or is he just fake and because dancehall is right now the hottest
genre, he use 40 or 50 percent dancehall on his album because he realizes that
this is the hot thing right now?”
Drizzy’s
use of reggae has been years in the making. Listeners can pinpoint a
couple dancehall samples on his 2015 tape If You’re Reading This
It’s Too Late and it’s definitely been paying off. Drake secured the first Billboard No. 1 single of his career with
“One Dance” featuring Nigerian artist Wizkid and Filipino R&B star Kyla.
XXL caught up with Popcaan back in 2015 after Drizzy used a sample of his on
the popular IYRTITL cut “Know Yourself.”
“Drake was
digging my music and in 2012 he invited me to OVO Fest and from then we just
kept the communication. Then we did 6 in the 876, a small documentary.
We recorded and partied in it, and Drake just used some of that audio from that
video and put it on the mixtape.”
Although
some reggae artists are cited in the Views production credits, this is
not the first time Drake has been called out for jacking a sound. In October of
2015, Earl Sweatshirt called Drake a culture vulture for posting Kodak Black’s “SKRT”
on his Instagram without credit. Check out Mr. Vegas’ full rant up top to see
whose side you fall on.
Even though Drake‘s latest album Views
is still dominating streaming and sales charts, one of his fellow
artists is taking offense to Drizzy using dancehall records on the album
without giving credit where it’s due.
Mr. Vegas, one of dancehall’s most popular acts, vented his frustration with the Canandian rapper on Facebook on Monday (May 16).
