“Autumn Leaves” itself is a slow-tempo track featuring a Chris Brown verse and hook before Kendrick Lamar takes over. “It seems that all the autumn leaves are falling/I feel like you’re the only reason for it/All the things you do, all the things you, do all the things you do,” Brown sings on the chorus.
“When you’re outlandish and you lose manners, to God you shall consult/When the bright cameras are still cramming in your face and it provoke/You to act mannish, just stay planted, because you reaping what you sow,” Kendrick raps.
Iggy Azalea’s Sex Tape & Childish Gambino Vs. Drake
With nearly daily updates over the past week, rumors of an Iggy Azalea sex tape have continued to make headlines. Azalea’s former boyfriend, a Houston rapper by the name of Jefe Wine, claims that the tape was recorded with the Australian artist’s knowledge and after her 18th birthday. Most recently, Azalea filed a preemptive lawsuit against Jefe Wine, caliming that he downloaded content from her computer in 2009 while living together in Atlanta, Georgia. Azalea’s suit also accuses Wine of forging a contract that purportedly granted him exclusive rights to her work.

Meanwhile, in an interview with The Grammy Museum’s Spotlight series, rapper Childish Gambino claimed he’s “working harder” than Drake before saying he’s better than the Toronto emcee outright.
“I don’t want people to think that I hate Drake,” Gambino said in response to a question posed by a fan in the audience. “I don’t hate Drake at all. I really like Drake, if not for no other reason than he makes me better. He really does. I had to fight that all the time. I knew when I was doing Childish Gambino from the beginning, like, ‘They’re not gonna let me do this. They already have a rapper, singer, actor guy who’s Black.’ That’s really what it was. ‘If he was White, it would be different.’ They’d be like, ‘They’re not the same.’ It’s very specific. I don’t dislike Drake. I think he’s a really good writer and rapper. Right now I definitely feel I’m better than him, only because I’m working harder than him right now. If he came in and was like, ‘Let’s rap.’ I’d be like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill you.’”
