Birdman ft. OD

By the fall of 2012, Drake was amidst a flawless streak of guest spots: Rick Ross' Stay Schemin',” DJ Drama's We In This Bitch 1.5,” Nicki Minaj's Champion,” 2 Chainz's No Lie,” French Montana's Pop That,” Meek Mill's Amen,” Aaliyah's Enough Said.” As if that wasn't already one of the greatest runs by a featured rapper, Drizzy made sure to earn more street cred points that October, when he hopped on to the remix to Lil Reese's Us”.
Drake already had a flawless streak of guest spots (from Money to Blow” and Say Something” in 2009, to Made Men” and Right Above It” the following xMDx BirdMan year), but never had he swiped a song out from under the headlining artist as effortlessly as he did on DJ Khaled's summer anthem.



Since then, Drake's earned the right to be mentioned in the same breath as Rap's Greatest Scene-Stealers ever—Busta Rhymes, André 3000, and Lil Wayne—as he's swiped dozens of songs out from under artists on the strength of show-stopping guest verses.
Birdman released another single called "I Get Money" featuring T-Pain, Young Money artist Mack Maine and Lil Wayne. The baby-faced Justin went from squeaky to freaky overnight with his first solo single, a stripped back banger pieced together from junkyard drums, acoustic disco licks, a snaking synth line and that cloud-scraping falsetto wail.

Released in December 2013, Future's Sh!t (Remix)” arrived just three months after Drake released the biggest album of his career, Nothing Was the Same. Lil Wayne joined the Drink Champs podcast in support of his Funeral album, which dropped on Friday (Jan. I really appreciate that Thugger had a theme sonically that he wanted for this album, and the fact that it is 13 tracks long is also very nice because it prevents the songs from getting boring as it reaches the end.
We thought it was about time to look back and rank his 50 greatest moments as a producer, singer, rapper and songwriter, ranging from 1993 to present day. Well, first of all because I spent a year thinking about the best Lil Wayne songs every single day. Then, in an admirable move in the spirit of competition, Drake reclaimed the title by dusting Tity Boi on the Atlanta rapper's debut single, No Lie.” Thanks to his contagious hook and instantly-quotable verse, the banger was inescapable that summer.
26 A new compilation album, entitled Rich Gang: Flashy Lifestyle, hosted by Birdman, was previously set to be released June 25, 2013. Kanye West — he of the couture-level flow and Givenchy leather kilts — seems to mention high-fashion designers in all of his songs, but this verse is destined to become a classic.
