Drake hopes on a hot song with mad potential - the song gets bigger = A stimulus package huh?

Really that's the Jay Z "stay relevant" package. Drake has perfected it. Can I Get A.... ended up officially as a Jay song but Ja Rule wrote it originally including hook.

A real stimulus package is when you give a dude a hit, a hook, a beat from your main producer for someone else and that becomes a hit. That's Twista Slow Jamz or Overnight Celebrity with the Kanye stimulus package. The dozen or so hooks Wayne wrote for others during his run think "Duffle Bag Boyz" etc.

Drake is jumping on records, just rapping a verse, in the same flow and cadence as the original and that's a stimulus package :heh: you guys are easily impressed.

Tell you something, Drake hopes on records - early.

I've followed drake for a long time and I don't know his personal friendships but that shyt screams extortion...but what do I know
It def is. He puts Pee Rain on knowing full well he'll never blow up, but that gives him a pass to walk through Scarborough and not get robbed by Pee Rains goons and put them in videos like he's down with their crew (Headlines video).

Well p reign and a lot of these ovo goon looking dudes are from Galloway in Scarborough which by 2014 hood power rankings has them at top 5 at least. The Galloway boys were involved with that shooting a couple years ago where 20 plus people got shot.

That being said, I dong remember so far gone drake having all these Scarborough people on his team or even before that.

It seems less like extortion and more like quid pro quo. I doubt he outright pays them but they protect him for shine and a chance to blow.
