Drake speaks to Allhiphop on his rap flow and how he feels about artists that borrow and misuse it in their rhymes. Drake stated he wasn’t trying to offend anyone by saying this, but he has issues with Ludacris’ track, My Chick Bad.
He told Allhiphop.com: “Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. (Laughs) I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, ‘I shut ‘em down. Onyx.’ I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there.
“To be honest, that flow, I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music). That’s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I’ll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Lil Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way it’s been used was on Forever.
“Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They’re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don’t want to offend somebody. I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. They go like, “It’s a parade! Macy’s!”
Well…
