This one was crazy cuz Drake ain't try to hop on a remix or nothing, just stole the whole song

Drake had a lot of shyt snatched up from him when he first came in. Birdman, Tyga, Wayne, etc.

No he doing all the snatching

Does Jeezy/Gucci - So Icy, count?

Seemed like it was mostly Jeezy's song, but ended up on Gucci's album and there was a major beef over it.

Jigga took this song

Yea, Jigga has like 7 examples of this going back to the RD days

This is one that gets overlooked

"Shadowboxin" by GZA feat. Meth, was orginally Meth's song, hence Meth having 2 verses and GZA appearing only for one. Meth said in an interview that it was his song but RZA (smartly) wanted to use it for GZA's release so had GZA jump on and work his magic. Meth didn't really have an album in the works at that time, and this helped add some star power and commercial appeal to GZA's solo as it didn't have any commercial songs at all.

Even before I heard this, I always felt like this song was more Meth's than GZA's but the Wu had a history of this stuff (Wisdom Body).

Side note, Wisdom Body was originally Rae solo spitting the North Star verse over the Wisdom Body beat. So glad they changed this up b/c North Star is the perfect outro with the Barry White sample.

Q-Tip took the beat for Jazz (We've Got) from Pete Rock.

Never heard this...like stole the exact beat? or more of using the same sample?

Drake’s song

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Overnight Scenario - Rare Essence

Do it Again - Jay-Z

 

[African Peasant]

This does not count. Almost no one knows this version exist

LOL @ Jay stealing the hook

The reference track for church for Thugs leaked. 50 wrote the whole thing. Game is dope but 50 helped him alot with those tracks

I think it was Higher that leaked, not Church for Thugs
