Ralph Lauren has admitted he is basically faux European. He lived in England and liked the shirts so he introduced them when he started his clothing line before he was even famous.

On Ralph Lauren...

" As he desired to exude a certain "WASPishness" (White Anglo = England) in his clothes, initially adopting the style of clothiers like Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and "Savile Row"–style English clothing."

Saville Row is an internationally famous street in London for mens tailoring.
It doesn't matter. Ralph Lifschitz is from the Bronx...it's an American brand...and people wear POLO because it's associated with fresh American nikkas. People don't even know where the sport came from or what Saville Row is. They just rock the gear...then Y'ALL rock the gear...

Them UK dudes need to chill, that cbiz flow aint his flow, brehs been flowing like that forever. Maybe they need to talk about how they steal American sounding beats, American fashion, American lingo. How about that? Sad that Drake cant even give props to places without them thinking he sharking them smh.

You talking like Drake himself is American or something :heh:

I don't know if I believe in stealing a flow.

But I do trace some of Drake early success as an 'ear worm' from the flow (maybe just rhyme scheme?) he and Wayne stole from (I think) Nickelus F. Yall remember:

'I can teach you how to speak my language --- Rosetta Stone'

'They must be talking to themselves, HIV - - hands free'

Drake admitted he bit this from Nickelus, then everyone bit it from him, and that he chose to retire it. This was in '11 or 12.

I hadn't heard this dumb non sequitur punchline flow in a while and honestly sort of forgot until ironically the flow biting Desiigner used it on Panda:

'pockets swole --- Danny
Sellin bars --- Candy'

All told, however, idk if you can steal a rhyme scheme / flow but Drake been doin it from the jump.
