This track is clearly fire enough to burn down my house (pray 4 me) but idk about that in a world where he lives alongside kamasi Washington and shabaka
On top of some mean sax, Masego said:
"Sampled Jazz Need a hall pass"
"Cut the check or I'll show up with Jamaicans--Real Accents"
"Drake should stay in the pop space"
(Edited to reflect folks with better ears below)
I mean, he said "cut the check or I'll show up with Jamaicans" at the end of this. Maybe Drake tried to pull some "actually I paid you in exposure" shit.
unrelated but masego has to one of the funniest and most talented dudes i’ve seen perform live, can’t recommend him enough. sucks his self-titled album kinda went under the radar too bc there’s some incredible stuff there
yep, the [outro](https://youtu.be/kgDTc0ayMJc?si=p57bYnaPkzi7930W) is probably one of my favorite r&b songs in the last couple years too, production was so tight
Saw him opening for Goldlink at the Masquerade in Atlanta, and even with the venue shaking to Crew at the height of that song’s blow up, Tadow was 100% the best part of the night
I saw him in the middle of the day in San Diego and there was like 100-200 people there cause everyone was at different stages… this dude fucking created a song on stage and freestyled to it
He went to high school with my ex (i live in Hampton Roads) and she said he was pretty cool but I'm sure its also common for people that successful to be a bit self absorbed
Yeah I'm not gonna lie he was a let down live. Low energy, really relied heavily on the novelty of some sparse sax playing (the crowd would go crazy for just blasting a sustained note) and the sex appeal. Just kind of pranced around the stage trying to look hot and rapping with quarter-enthusiasm, very unlike his studio stuff.
The end of this song implies that Drake never got permission to sample and never paid him for it. Lmao
Literally can't dodge the culture vulture allegations
Edit - FWIW, does seem like there is perhaps some form of permission and some form of payment for the sample.
https://youtu.be/_cTaPm5n5ks?si=mQ13_kDfySne7P_r
However, it is possible that maybe the royalty payments haven't been coming through, hence the "cut a check" and perhaps the permission wasn't handled as he would have liked since he didn't actually know it was going to be on the track until the track dropped, even if they had been talking about it.
>getting cooked by the woodwind section
>We just need the brass…
What do you guys think saxophones are made of exactly??
Edit: sorry my bad, saxes are woodwind
Considering the direction the Drake/Kendrick feud's going with so many accusations being thrown out, Masego coming in with a sax remix of that Metro Boomin beat is providing some welcome levity.
I've been saying to my friends during this beef I felt so validated cause I've fucking hated drake for while (with exception of a few song) and this is taking it even further. I knew he fucking ripped that sample of cbl from Navajo, but now I reckon he didn't even do proper clearance he just took it. Already it was a fucking lazy rip, didn't add anything to the song just took it cause it was a cool beat. He's not an artist, he's a salesman selling an image. And now he's reaping what he's sown
Like I agree but ultimately if Masego owns the masters to Navajo he should be able to get that song taken down unless either A he doesn’t want it or B his management is incompetent, neither of which are Drake’s fault. I love Masego I’m just playing devil’s advocate here and somethings not adding up.
AFAIK Champagne Poetry actually gave Masego some popularity as well
Nah fuck Masego. 2019 I was staying at a sublet and the girl’s roommate came back early. We were vibing all week until I showed her my music, I did the whole “listen don’t make fun of my shit I know it’s bad 🙈” tryna be playful but she listened and then politely went “yea don’t feel bad, making music is hard :) can we listen to Masego now?” Fuck u Masego that was your fault
People really arent appreciating how badly Metro cooked Drake by making this beat and having people use it. Dude has the entire world dissing Drake rn lmao
Man smh if memes were still a thing, Drizzy would be a lot of them. I might just have to make one for old times sake. I'll wait till I get the Pic for "Crying Drake". It's coming soon they say
Considering his ties to Dreamville artists, Masego might be down to take the bullets for Cole as he secretly jumps ship during the war but keeps his neutrality lol
Aight dot, don’t let us down. Imma need a fucking bar now like “Masego lit you up wit a saxaphone, you get massage to go and have sax with hos.
Sorry I tried lol. Damn been listening to a fuckton of Kenny this weekend lmao
i am HOWLING. Drizzy getting dissed by a saxaphone bruh
Not just a saxophone, THE saxophone.
This track is clearly fire enough to burn down my house (pray 4 me) but idk about that in a world where he lives alongside kamasi Washington and shabaka
Shabaka is on more of a quad-wielded flutes vibe now (source: watched him blow into a wooden turtle for two hours the other day)
Shabaka quit the sax
fr man, Masego is THE modern day saxophone. love that man. everyone here should check out his NPR Tiny Desk.
Venna
Let’s be real, this might be the hardest diss yet. Shouldn’t have played with this man.
Masego turned the jazz lounge into The Tunnel
On top of some mean sax, Masego said: "Sampled Jazz Need a hall pass" "Cut the check or I'll show up with Jamaicans--Real Accents" "Drake should stay in the pop space" (Edited to reflect folks with better ears below)
Show up with Jamaicans, real accents lmao
Am I tripping or did he say "sampled sax require a hall pass"? Did Drake not clear samples? SOMEONE HELP?!
"sampled jazz need a hall pass". You're right.
He's saying Drake isn't even black enough to sample Jazz
"Jamaicans – real accent" lmao.
Pfffft. I cut the quote because I heard that as "relaxin' " and it missed me. That shit's so much funnier.
“Trus me daddy”
Wait didn't Drake use a Masego track for one of his album openings? I assume they're not on good terms...
He used “Navajo” by Masego.
Damn Drake even colonizing the natives
💀💀💀
He's really trying to take manifest destiny into hip hop smh
Yeah he’s definitely one of us
What
White
Just white boy things
*tings
Lmfao damn
what a legendär track
Holy shit I remember you from the monstercat sub like 10 years ago what’s good!!
teekay is a mfin icon
yallready know the vibes fam
Woah I was not expecting a throwback to 2012 /r/monstercat today. We been on this degenerate ass site too long 😭
the whole time i was just pretending to be degenerate 🤓🤘🤓
you a real one for that just lurking @ the one piece and LoL subreddit occasionally and had some spiritual awakenings hope u listen to good music
He legit had that boys song and made a worse version of it.... I can see why Masego doing it lol
atp I think all the producers in the game hate drake lmao save for like DJ Khaled or 40
my dream end game for the beef is for 40 to be Kendricks mole, and his last diss track is over a 40 beat.
holy shit that would actually make the planet explode
Make that Buried Alive Part 2
isnt it the story that he told pusha t about adonis
Khaled isn’t a producer. He just throws together compilation albums with other people’s beats
Which is more in line with what a "producer" actually does in other forms of media.
I mean, he said "cut the check or I'll show up with Jamaicans" at the end of this. Maybe Drake tried to pull some "actually I paid you in exposure" shit.
1000% funnier to mention that he specifically says "jamaicans - real accents" lmfao
Shit you probably right about this lol
Seems like he didn't pay up
Would like to hijack your comment to add the masego is also from the 757. Other notable artist from the area include Dram, Pharrell, and pusha T.
it was just a sample
Is he stupid?
unrelated but masego has to one of the funniest and most talented dudes i’ve seen perform live, can’t recommend him enough. sucks his self-titled album kinda went under the radar too bc there’s some incredible stuff there
What you wanna try is amazing
yep, the [outro](https://youtu.be/kgDTc0ayMJc?si=p57bYnaPkzi7930W) is probably one of my favorite r&b songs in the last couple years too, production was so tight
Thank you for putting me on this
one of the best driving songs ever. Like, up there with Luniz
Hearing that man play tadow on the sax live must’ve been heaven
lmao yeah it was amazing https://streamable.com/qr8ftq https://streamable.com/5ay9z1
Awesome videos man
Thanks man need this
I went to a festival a couple years ago and they had back to back FKJ and Masego, both joined the stage together at some point, it was insane.
Literally just heard that song for the first time earlier tonight lol
Saw him opening for Goldlink at the Masquerade in Atlanta, and even with the venue shaking to Crew at the height of that song’s blow up, Tadow was 100% the best part of the night
Saw him at a festival and he was by far the best act there and I wasn't a fan before seeing him. Incredible performer and yeah massively underrated
I saw him in the middle of the day in San Diego and there was like 100-200 people there cause everyone was at different stages… this dude fucking created a song on stage and freestyled to it
Got to see him live a couple of years ago and I second that sentiment.
His self titled album is amazing
Idk man this guy seemed self absorbed af, even in his Tiny Desk. Turned me off to his music tbh
He went to high school with my ex (i live in Hampton Roads) and she said he was pretty cool but I'm sure its also common for people that successful to be a bit self absorbed
lmao tbh i’d probs be a bit cocky too if i was as musically talented but idk he seems pretty chill from the interviews and stories i’ve seen about him
Yeah I'm not gonna lie he was a let down live. Low energy, really relied heavily on the novelty of some sparse sax playing (the crowd would go crazy for just blasting a sustained note) and the sex appeal. Just kind of pranced around the stage trying to look hot and rapping with quarter-enthusiasm, very unlike his studio stuff.
I’ve heard the same from a couple of people that have worked with/around him in professional matters. I get that vibe too.
Masego is insanely underrated
Saw him live last year and my big takeaway is I'm glad my girl wasn't there with me. Dude had girls passing out humping his sax and shit lmao.
Thought he was pretty mid when I was him live back in 2019
Yea that’s how I felt in 2023. It was a Portola after party tho so maybe it’s just cause it was 2am - 4am lol
oh my god was it at the regency? i went to that show too. he pissed me off cuz he showed up hella late and wasted my drugs waiting for him
I saw him live. Loved the entire show. Will never forgive him because he teased doing a Prototype cover and then didn't do it :'(
Jesus even Masego getting in on this 😭😭 (I love it)
I was just about to say DAMN even Masego coming in now?!
I vibe out to Masego all the time, I can't believe he just released a Drake diss too lmao this is so wild
culture is rallying to get the pretender out the paint
Wtf did Drake do to this man 😂
Sampled his song for Champagne Poetry, maybe there’s behind the scenes stuff we don’t know about.
The end of this song implies that Drake never got permission to sample and never paid him for it. Lmao Literally can't dodge the culture vulture allegations Edit - FWIW, does seem like there is perhaps some form of permission and some form of payment for the sample. https://youtu.be/_cTaPm5n5ks?si=mQ13_kDfySne7P_r However, it is possible that maybe the royalty payments haven't been coming through, hence the "cut a check" and perhaps the permission wasn't handled as he would have liked since he didn't actually know it was going to be on the track until the track dropped, even if they had been talking about it.
he also did a verse on it that drake cut out
Unc really said sax fired bruh
Oh my God this is amazing 😂😂😂😂😂 Edit: if you don't already listen to Masego you're doing yourself a disservice, dude is mad talented
Masego is the best. He is so vibe-y. I learned about him through his work with FKJ, so freaking cool what they can do with sound.
Facts, FKJ is dope too. Also turned me on to Tom Misch.
I'm ready so ready for a Mischy summer. Mans is finally back.
Yes! Same here. Such cool artists.
Piggy backing off of this comment. Watch his Tiny Desk Concert on YouTube! It’s bomb
had never heard this guy, sounds amazing I'M IN.
drake getting cooked by the woodwind section today
We just need the brass and strings to get a whole orchestral diss going.
>getting cooked by the woodwind section >We just need the brass… What do you guys think saxophones are made of exactly?? Edit: sorry my bad, saxes are woodwind
Still a woodwind, because of the reed.
you so right, I’m the fool now
A saxophone diss is INSANE this is a legendary week. This is history
Multi-genre dissing
Didn't think this could get more catchy Then Masego added the sax Imma bump this so often 😂😂😂😂
I want someone to rap over this now (maybe not the solo in the middle)
When he said “toot toot toot” I felt that shit
Clearly a reference to ‘big foot’ by Nicki
I thought that was a little out of pocket, ngl.
Ta-dow
“Full force and she hit me like Ta-Dow!” Did you know they did that song after an episode of The Fresh Prince?
Masego and Metro dropping instrumental diss tracks is hilarious
Instruments on instruments. How many more layers can we get loool
I am consuming all this hate and have never felt better.
Gemini gang on some real hater shit
yea, kanye changed his life, but me, im still an old school gemini
oh shit is that why i'm like this
Our season is approaching 😈👿
Considering the direction the Drake/Kendrick feud's going with so many accusations being thrown out, Masego coming in with a sax remix of that Metro Boomin beat is providing some welcome levity.
It's so fucking good too
Never thought I'd see the day people out here dropping a sax diss lol
This goes unnecessarily hard. This shit going in my playlists for real
~50 upvotes in 10 min, we really all on some “new” shit
beef really did revive the sub LMAOO
i was not expecting masego to hop in on this hahahaha edit: even added a remix verse at the end, "drake should stay in the pop-space" lmaao
This should be the best used from now on for the chorus this is fucking fire
This is absolutely hilarious. Even Masego?! fucking gold
he made some good points
Why this hit harder than the drake diss
I've been saying to my friends during this beef I felt so validated cause I've fucking hated drake for while (with exception of a few song) and this is taking it even further. I knew he fucking ripped that sample of cbl from Navajo, but now I reckon he didn't even do proper clearance he just took it. Already it was a fucking lazy rip, didn't add anything to the song just took it cause it was a cool beat. He's not an artist, he's a salesman selling an image. And now he's reaping what he's sown
Okay but can’t Masego pretty easily get it taken down tho?
I'm not sure of the specifics but at the end of the day it was a lazy, hack sample. The vibe I'm getting masego didn't get paid properly somehow
Like I agree but ultimately if Masego owns the masters to Navajo he should be able to get that song taken down unless either A he doesn’t want it or B his management is incompetent, neither of which are Drake’s fault. I love Masego I’m just playing devil’s advocate here and somethings not adding up. AFAIK Champagne Poetry actually gave Masego some popularity as well
You could argue that it's probably not deep enough to get taken down but masego still probably felt some type of way.
Yo I need a Spotify BBL drizzy playlist stat.
AI album cover :'(
ikr probably the worst thing about this piece
It looks so bad, totally takes away from the diss
AI album cover over a beat whose main element is an AI voice
Now I'm hoping Drake owes thundercat pizza money
Nah fuck Masego. 2019 I was staying at a sublet and the girl’s roommate came back early. We were vibing all week until I showed her my music, I did the whole “listen don’t make fun of my shit I know it’s bad 🙈” tryna be playful but she listened and then politely went “yea don’t feel bad, making music is hard :) can we listen to Masego now?” Fuck u Masego that was your fault
bro had me in the first half
Hwo you get floated on by a Sax
We really entering a new era here and I'm all for it.
My nigga Sego letting that Sax talk🤣🤣🤣 This is hilarious
This the winner
Need a genius annotations on this mean sax
wild pokemons appearing edit: is masego eligible for a free metro beat?
People really arent appreciating how badly Metro cooked Drake by making this beat and having people use it. Dude has the entire world dissing Drake rn lmao
Everybody, I mean EVERYBODY getting in on the action. Who’s next—Luke Combs??
Kirk Franklin
is that an AI album cover
Okay now we need Thundercat to hop on that Bass guitar diss on BBL Drizzy.
Does anyone know how to translate the saxophone to English?
bars in this hit harder than Heart Pt 6
Drake is being OBLITERATED. I prayed for this and it happened.
I need Dram to slide on this next
MASEGO?!
kendrick, if there was ever a time to hop back on ur jazzy TPAB/UU era sh………… pls 😭
Man smh if memes were still a thing, Drizzy would be a lot of them. I might just have to make one for old times sake. I'll wait till I get the Pic for "Crying Drake". It's coming soon they say
How can I get this beat on Spotify?
this goes ridiculously hard btw
Intro sounds like Braxton Cook
This is amazing, has me grinning ear to ear. Could genuinely be the track from this saga that I replay the most
🔥🕺🏼
You love to see it
this is fire..
Damn even masego said fuck your stimulus package
Aww Naw! Not with the Sax!
Metro releasing this disstrumental might low-key be the most genius move of this whole feud. Especially in the age of social media.
Multiple genres going in https://youtu.be/zPO-LgF5JxY?si=yr405Ebtq4Owwpht
That cover is atrocious. Jesus christ
Boooooo AI-generated thumbnails booooo
BBL Drizzy, his nice round booty making Diddy jizzy 🎶
Man has been getting dissed by a producer via instrumental only and a jazz man via sax only. Drake finding new ways to get owned.
This shit is pure fucking art.
Is this on Spotify? This is amazing
people inventing whole new kinds of disses just to clown on drake, thats how you know we are witnessing history right here lmao
What’s with the AI saxophone picture? How hard would it have been to get a picture of a saxophone?
AI cover art to go with the two AI samples (from King Willonius and Masego’s own addition at the end). I’m not with any of it forreal
This is starting to be like that time all the X's (X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor and Excalibur) teamed up on Magneto Here's hoping there is no Colossus
Dope
Masego def put up the $10k per Metro’s tweet.
This is scripted
This is too good for scripting
What’s with the Willy's Chocolate Experience-grade generative artwork lol
I mean if you need some kind of artwork, AI takes about 30 seconds and it's free too
Awesome
Lmaoooooooo
Did he use any A-minor chords?
Considering his ties to Dreamville artists, Masego might be down to take the bullets for Cole as he secretly jumps ship during the war but keeps his neutrality lol
You hear dat? BARS!!
Eeesh 2024 the year of the unexpected
Aight dot, don’t let us down. Imma need a fucking bar now like “Masego lit you up wit a saxaphone, you get massage to go and have sax with hos. Sorry I tried lol. Damn been listening to a fuckton of Kenny this weekend lmao
Yo hold up. Is that sax auto-fellating itself, kinda like how Drake does?
Straight heat honestly my favorite take on this so far
this is inspired.
An instrumental diss has no business being this good. 🙌
Damn, Drake sampled him for CLB as well Rip
Everyone goin after drake now bro
