Drake Says Beyonce “Has Bars” & “Pound Cake” Nearly “Became A Jay Z Song”

    Recently, Drake sat down at New York University for an interview with Elliott Wilson on Wilson’s CRWN series.

    During the interview, Drizzy spoke about “Pound Cake,” the track featuring Jay Z from the Toronto rapper’s latest release, Nothing Was the Same.

    “‘Pound Cake’ happened while I was writing for Beyoncé or working with Beyoncé,” explained Drake, who quickly corrected himself. “Not writing for, working with. I hate saying writing for ’cause she’s a phenomenal writer. She has bars on bars.”

    Drake continued, explaining Jay’s involvement, which started with a pair of Hov a capella verses left over from Jay’s Magna Carta Holy Grail. “I sent the song back to Jay, and that was when it almost became a Jay Z song. He’s such a good guy. He was just like, ‘Man, I gave my word.’”

    “Everybody around him was hype around the song,” added Drizzy. “We’re all so grateful to have Hov. I don’t know what I’d do without that guy sometimes. He’s full of gems, full of advice, and obviously one of the most talented people.”

    Finally Drake revealed plans to one day make an entire album featuring his singing. “I’m looking forward to giving you my version of a full singing record one day.” Drake recently admitted that he sometimes prefers R&B over Rap.

    1. a drake feature makes all songs hot the camel begged drake to be on the song cause he knows he will be irrelevent unless drake helps him out.

    2. this is like the 10th fucking report on something drake says. DRAKE NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET BACK TO MY NAIL SALON AND PAY ME FOR HIS MANICURE.

    3. I am really tired of the jay-z ballwashing. NOBODY ever has anything to say but PRAISE.

      Jay-z is where he is because he leeched off of people. Every single hit he ever had, is because he had outstanding production. Every album is FULL of the best…whoever was hot at that time. Timbaland, Neptunes, Just Blaze, Mike Will, Lex Luger, the list goes on and on and on. Not to mention Artists…surrounding himself with Kanye, J Cole, Kendrick, Drake, etc etc etc. whoeevr is hot, is who he’s gonna be next because it helps him. The problem is, all these artists use him too…but they all suck him off.

      Its sickening. Just Blaze said it best recently when he said, the difference between Jay-z and Eminem is Eminem is much more hands on when it comes to making songs and recording. Much more MUSICALLY oriented. Whereas Jay-z writes his verse and is out. Jay-z can rap and has a good ear. But so dont alot of people.

      1. He is where he is coz of hard work ethic. He writes his own lyrics, chooses great producers and featuring artistes. I dnt see whats wrong with that.

    4. FINALLY, he knows his lane. I believe him when he says Beyonce has bars. She would probably murder Drake quicker than Kendrick.

    5. “Im looking forward to giving you my version of a full singing record one day.

      …but u can’t sing bruh. Phonte is 1000x better at singing AND rapping than Drake.

    6. Fuck Dx
