Toronto, Ontario emcee/singer star Drake is apparently fed up with his parent label. The Young Money artist used Twitter yesterday (June 23) to call out Universal Motown Records over cease-and-desisting song leaks of “Marvin’s Room” 
and “Trust Issues” – records that Drake seemed to want fans to have.
With sophomore studio album Take Care planned for fourth quarter release, Drake and his label will have to come to terms.
Universal needs to stop taking my fucking songs down. I am doing this for the people not for your label.
Recently, Drake’s touring buddy J. Cole and Sony/Roc Nation have also been halting online posting of songs from the North Carolina native’s debut album.
HipHopDX will keep you updated.
those songs suck. The label is doing ppl a favor
what a dumb moron, you suck
word, this wack fuck needs to jus be grateful anyones playing anything his wack ass makes
dudes a fuckin cornball n will never be Hip Hop
I have to agree with anonymous, Drake is a fucking faggot moron & sucks big white jew balls.
You must be stuck in the past.
exactly tim
lawl at the idiots, budden’s ten times worse and you niggas don’t care
thats why hes on top,it makes sense.Like Stalley,and Big Krit giving away free quality mixtapes,you got to do SOMETHING to connect to the audience.Other then Jay-z,and maybe Nas who can you guarantee is going to give you what you expect nowadays sight unseen?Good move
You don’t understand that what Universal is doing with the music can affect mixtapes too. Rappers can’t put out “free”, rejected album music anymore on websites like HHDX, NahRight, & RR. The labels own those “free” songs.
Hey kids did you even read how Universal Records has blacklisted most rap sites, even this one? What this means knuckleheads is that we don’t get any new music from any rapper unless the label massa says so.
Good to see a rapper doin shit for the fans. Drake and Cole are the future
He ain’t no rapper he’s a singer a R & B singer just correctin your ass
considering he does both he’s a rapper AND a singer… despite some of the small thinkers you can do both of you have the talent…
he’s an artist (no-label), as he should be. Kanye has destroyed the barrier of rappers being labeled. So get over it, and enjoy the “music”. for your own sake.
drake is a rapper ….but i also respect him as a singer..or a vocalist ..that’s the right term for him a vocalist..cuz i never really heard him go ..luther vandross …boyz 2 men or even trey songs on a joint lol…he could rap his ass off though …

lmao ohmy that’s creepy
dx will make a story out of anything.
Not a fan of Young Money at all, but Drake just earned a lot of respect from me for that remark. Props to him.
You buying that crap? It’s a marketing ploy. I have not heard these songs on the radio yet, if they are supposed to be singles. “Fight” with the label, get some buzz. I understand, Drizzy got himself put on after giving away free mix tapes, but now that he’s signed, I’m sure he’s like every one else.. your album flops, you blame the leaks, so f outta here. And yes, please let us stop calling Drake a rapper.
@big dan.. he gave them away through his blog… meant to be leaks.. not as singles.. he stated that when he released them.. why should we stop calling a rapper he rappers what he knows and has song of some subtance rather than bullshit like most the rappers… and i ain’t the biggest drake fan in the world.. i was ant-drake when he first started.
loool at how stupid big dan is
Gatdamn it’s some smart dumb mfs on here, jack!
(looks at big dan) (nh)
A fool isn’t known to be such until he opens his mouth and removes all doubt…or in this case types some of the friggin nonsensical madness that makes as much sense as lil zane putting out any song.
Stupid muthafu…
@zoo, I don’t think drake has very much substance, I see what your saying you don’t have to conform to some ghetto bullshit. But he is more pop than substance. Rapper or no Rapper.
fukkk universal motown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least their a&r department! most of all “doc”!
drake when wont u understand you dont call the shots….. if u want to do that go independent. sorry fo ya ha
this just in retards…you dont have to be some ghetto scrub dreg of society to be a rapper…get that through your thick skulls
The labels are doing you a favor. These rappers have to stop giving away music for free if they expect to SELL records. This same rapper will be complaining if they label doesn’t want to give him any budget money because they feel like they are going to lose.
We didnt start seeing sales this low until the mixtape era took over. The labels do not profit off of mixtapes.
It’s called promotion, dumbass. How can you expect to sell records when nobody even knows you’re releasing new music?
Because of the FREE Marvin’s Room alongside Drake’s appearance on “I’m On One” he instantaneously made himself the HOTTEST rapper again.
Time’s have changed. The labels just don’t understand that and are stuck in an old rut.
dam he better be easy lol
Oh hammer, don’t hurt ’em! Don’t cry on their fist homie, it might make their knuckles too wet!
