Two new Drake records were released last night and the streets are talking, but not in the way most would think. Good people on Twitter accuse him of borrowing his stream from another artist.
DJ Khaled released two new songs today (July 17), “Greece” and “Popstar”, which will appear on their next album, God is the best, and both songs feature Drake. However, shortly after “Greece” hit streaming platforms, social media users immediately began to criticize Drizzy, accusing him of sounding like The Weeknd on the album.
“Come with me, leave all your things, yes / We can stop at Gucci, stop at Louis V, yes
Come with me, take you to Greece at full speed, fly over Paris / Come with me, leave all your things, yes / We can stop at Gucci, stop at Louis V, yes / Come with me, take you to Greece / Top speed, je suis ton génie, “Drizzy croons on the second hook on the track.
Unlike his other themes, God’s 6 cadence compares Abel and Twitter doesn’t keep his thoughts on it.
One person tweeted: “The Weeknd watching Drake steal his entire stream in Greece.”
Another said, “Drake is stealing the stream from The Weeknd in Greece. Shi is a fool.”
Other people had views on Drizzy’s stream on “Popstar,” claiming he sounds like Chicago rapper Valee. The MC’s “Womp Womp” record with Jeremih is what people are referring to. Valee’s manager Andrew Barber tweeted shortly after the song dropped, “‘Popstar’ is a drug. Valee Womp Womp is still flowing receiving love in 2020. Give Valee her flowers 2021.”
“Popstar”, which has a completely different feel than the melodic “Greece”, features Drake spitting bars comparing his luxurious rapper lifestyle to that of a pop star. He even names Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun.
Bitches call my phone like I’m locked up, nonstop / From the plane to the damn helicopter, yeah / The cops stop like I’m giving drugs, nah, nah / I’m a pop star, not a doctor / Bitches calling my phone like I’m locked up, non-stop / From the plane to the damn helicopter, yes / Cops stopping like I’m giving drugs, nah, nah / I’m a pop star, not a doctor, “Drizzy spits in the chorus of the album produced by OZ and David & Eli.
While Drake has not addressed the comparisons and criticism he has received for both records, Twitter is certainly having a field day that points it all out. See more reactions to Drake’s sound in “Greece” and “Popstar” below.
