Otaku Gang Releases Drake, 50 Cent & Future Mash-Up, “Commas Over Waiting”
Otaku Gang released a mash-up of Drake, 50 Cent and Future earlier this week. The cut, which is a mash-up of Drake’s “Over,” 50 Cent’s “Patiently Waiting” and Future’s “Fuck Up Some Commas,” acts as the soundtrack to the new computer game, “Meeky Mill.” In the game, users play as Meek Mill running through a series of obstacles collecting coins while avoiding bombs labeled with an “L” thrown by Drake and 50 Cent. The goal is to reach $1,000,000 before taking too many Ls.
