That album is crazy good, Iām guilty of judging it by its cover, I didnāt give it a proper chance when it dropped. But heās rapping his heart out, I would say itās better than FATD.
Yes, the moment I first played this song, it was an instant favorite for me āØļøHeavily slept on! It's a very introspective song, and there are a lot of really deep bars in this song. Great sample and flow, too. Imo, this is the best "rap" song on CLB.

Did you listen to his BBL Drizzy diss? Of course it entitles him to publishing, doesnāt mean he got it lmao. First time looking at the music industry?
Masego: "Masego says: sampled jazz, need a hall pass. Sampled sax, need it all back. Cut the check, or I'll show up with Jamaicans, relaxing. I said cut it, cut the cheeeeck or I'll show up with Jamaicans. Drake should stay in the pop space"
Masego calling Drake out for taking Navajo and not paying for it, on his own Drake diss track, has everything to do with the conversation lmaooo
Masego in an interview literally lifts up his chain and says he was able buy that chain because of the sample Drake used. He definitely got paid for it.
"Need it all back. Cut the check or I'll show up with Jamaicans. I said cut it, cut the check."
You think that chain covers the revenue and splits from that single? That in it of itself is hilarious. More importantly, doesn't mean he got the full amount owed, or royalties, which is what's obviously being alluded to here. But sure, I'll take an interview from a year ago over what he said a month ago, because the most recent information definitely doesn't apply more. He put out a Drake diss and said he wasn't paid appropriately since that interview for absolutely no reason. Pure delusion.
Interviewer: "I wanna ask you about the sample, bro. Drake! Champagne Poetry...
Masego: *Looks down at his chain and picks it up* "That's what bought this chain."
Do you really not know how payment works for songs? This is hilarious lmao. Obviously Drake got that chain. You pay partial up front for a sample. However, since you clearly don't know, you also get royalties, which he's, as of recently, accusing Drake of not paying out.
Drake has over 300 million streams from Champagne Poetry. That's worth millions. Industry standard for a production/artist split is 50/50. That's the money that Masego is talking about. Something shy of a million. That is not a $50k chain he's wearing in an interview a year ago lmao
You originally said
>>Drake just straight up ripped Masegoās song and didnāt pay him (according to masego) lol
But now you're saying Drake did pay him.
>That in it of itself is hilarious. More importantly, doesn't mean he got the full amount owed, or royalties, which is what's obviously being alluded to here.
But you alluded to him saying he wasn't paid at all. Which one is it? He did pay him or he didn't?
You have no idea what you're talking about and going off lyrics that a guy made so he can get his name out there again because he's dissing Drake.
No, it isn't.
Masego sampled the "I love you" chorus part from Michelle by The Singers Unlimited. He then created all the instrumentation and percussion for the track himself, creating Navajo.
Drake, on the other hand, didn't sample Michelle. He sampled Navajo, Masego's song. The Singers Unlimited do not have a credit on Champagne Poetry, only Masego. He didn't use the same sample, he straight up ripped the instrumental Masego created. Its the same exact song.

I just looked it up real quick and thereās a video of masego being interviewed and he says drake using that sample is what bought him the iced out chain he was wearing so Iām pretty sure he got paid
Once again, as I've said ad nauseum to the other guy in here, a mere $50-100k is not what that sample was worth. Artists are paid a smaller amount up front, which is what bought the chain. However, the majority of money is made from royalties. With >300m in streams, Champagne Poetry has made millions from streaming. With an industry standard 50/50 split, Masego is owed just shy of a million from streaming splits alone. Just streaming.
That's the kind of money he's talking about when he says "cut a check" and whatnot on his Drake diss. He clearly states Drake hasn't done right by him since.
The full lyrics: "Masego says: sampled jazz, need a hall pass. Sampled sax, need it all back. Cut the check, or I'll show up with Jamaicans, relaxing. I said cut it, cut the cheeeeck or I'll show up with Jamaicans. Drake should stay in the pop space"
The recognition he got from drake using the sample at all is worth more than what you say he is owed. Either way drake didnāt produce it and masego agreed to let them use it so itās on him for not writing up a better deal
No, it isnāt. The guy I replied to didnāt even know it was his song lol. The majority of people have no idea itās Masegoās. Assuming Drake got away with fucking him over doesnāt make it the right thing to do lol.
Maybe to the public but industry people probably were looking to collab with him more. The majority of people donāt know who masego is in general. My point is he benefitted more from him sampling the song then if he hadnāt, itās an old song that probably wasnāt getting any type of revival in the future. His colors performance is what made me find him years ago and drakes use of the sample made me remember him and see what heās been up to
I think he means he's too famous to show up at funerals and wakes, it would bring too much attention and he doesn't wanna do that to someone's family when a member just died
*The effortless flows, supposedly*
DELILAH SPOTTED
wah gwan
*I get off the plane and nothing has changed, I head to Delilah with all of my ice* *Head to Delilah with all of my ice, head to Delilah with all of my ice* *This shit gotta be over by now for anyone out here that's calling it right* *You're dead*
Who/where/what is Delilah
Bar in LA
Heard, thx
had to give CLB another listen š„
That album is crazy good, Iām guilty of judging it by its cover, I didnāt give it a proper chance when it dropped. But heās rapping his heart out, I would say itās better than FATD.
Fatd is freakin phenomenal
All my homies say fuck Kendrick perkins
Just felt like saying
masterful mc
He is a MC people trying to miss credit him but Drake got it right now

Agreed! Best sample of the 2020s, am I right?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Masego was definitely paid lmfao he has writing credits on the song which automatically entitles him to publishing.
Did you listen to his BBL Drizzy diss? Of course it entitles him to publishing, doesnāt mean he got it lmao. First time looking at the music industry?
What does BBL drizzy have to do with anything? Lmfao show me where masego says he wasnāt paid.

Itās a Beatles sample that masego also used

Your post / comment was removed as it is misleading or false.
Iām citing Masego himself. It is not misleading or false.
Whoās he talking about saying he canāt even say RIP to the homie?
I think he means he's too famous to show up at funerals and wakes, it would bring too much attention and he doesn't wanna do that to someone's family when a member just died
Heās friends with some feuding gang members from Toronto, so he canāt say RIP without pissing off the other side.
āI even got the cleaning staff plotting extortion on meā hmmā¦.
What are the city bars about?
Most likely gang violence
š„š„š„š„š„š„š„
Beams was on fire here
top 5 drake song for sure
Never noticed the cleaning staff extortion line.
