Backed by an instrumental from The Pharcyde’s “Runnin’,” Max B croons “can’t keep taking my wave,” at the start of the song, which has been renamed “My Wave (A Message For Kanye West).”
“My Wave” features no mention of Kanye West or Wiz Khalifa. The lack of a mention of either artist is due to the fact that the song was initially released in 2011 on YouTube, under the title “Keep Taking My Wave.”
“I HAD THT SONG RECORDED FOR A SEC,A LONG WIT OTHERS,SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO LEAK RYTE NOW,JUST PUT THE HOMIE ON IT & MAKE NEW HISTORY! #WAVES,” Dame Grease said in a tweet yesterday (January 27).
