Listen to it above and get ready for Nothing Was the Same, which drops on 9/17 and will probably be a monster hit. Although honestly, it's just as easy to imagine him rapping these lines over a remix of "Started From the Bottom."Ģ Chainz gets the first verse here but Big Sean probably steals the show by rapping about banging his erstwhile babysitter later in life (tell that to a therapist). "Came up, that's all me / Stayed true, that's all me / No help, that's all me / All me for real," Drizzy sings over a crisp, slightly ominous beat. The chorus finds Drake continuing to cast himself as the self-reliant, pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps rapper who made it to the top without favors from anyone. Thematically, "All Me" has a lot in common with the first single from his upcoming third.
And with top-notch verses from 2 Chainz and Big Sean, "All Me" has the potential to be another smash along the lines of "Started From the Bottom."
The lawsuit did not state the amount in damages or remedies that the plaintiffs are seeking.Drake stealthily unleashed the second single from Nothing Was the Same late last night. The plaintiffs claim that cease and desist letters were sent to both artists, but neither of the defendants has responded to them. Since the debut, the Infringing Work has reportedly gone platinum, meaning more than one million copies have been sold.” “Upon release, the Infringing Work sold reportedly 100,500 units for the first week of its release. “The sale of thousands of physical copies of CDs featuring the Copyrighted Work on the streets of West Detroit and the parking lots of hip hop clubs in West Detroit frequented by provide further access of the Copyrighted Work to Defendants,” the lawsuit claim. Meanwhile, the men also singled out Big Sean, who is also from Detroit, as someone who might have known their work or come across it. The melodic sequence between the songs is also identical, Payne and James claim. They are relying on several principles in intellectual property law, including the argument that the chorus for the songs is “strikingly similar” and the words in the chorus are even “nearly identical.”
Payne, who said in the lawsuit that he is known by the name ‘Go Hard Major’ while James is known as ‘H Matic,’ noticed that not only did the two major label artists allegedly copy their song, but they didn’t even change the name much. “The Copyrighted Work is an original work of authorship and is particularly unique as a result of its catchy chorus-or hook-the centerpiece of the Copyrighted Work,” the lawsuit says. The song, which is featured on Megan’s Good News album, is alleged by the plaintiffs to be an exact copy of their song “Krazy,” released in 2012, was uploaded to ReverbNation.īoth songwriters, who are relatively unknown in the hip hop world, argue that they are well known in the Detroit area as they would often pass out CDs to members of the public to listen to their music. They have also named their labels Universal Music and 1501 Certified Entertainment are parties to the suit. “Go Crazy,” featuring 2 Chainz, was released in November 2020, and according to Radar Online, two songwriters from Detroit named Duawn Payne and Harrell James have filed a lawsuit against the two artists.
The “ Wap” rapper and Big Sean are being sued over their song by two artists from Detroit who allege that the two hitmakers stole their record. Drake posted another new song to his OVO website overnight, and despite its title All Me, he gets a big bump from its guests: Big Sean, 2 Chainz and a bit from Aziz Ansari. Big Sean and Megan Thee Stallion faces lawsuit over copyright infringement for their “Go Crazy” collab.
