Hours after Drake released his Scorpion album, he’s already being accused of jacking the beat and concept featured on one of the project’s songs.
The particular song in question is “Survival,” the opening track to Scorpion, produced by No. I.D. and Noah “40” Shebib.
According to many on social media, the song sounds nearly identical to Lil B’s 2014 track “I’m Tupac,” which was produced by Keyboard Kid.
The overlap is because both songs sample “Telex” by German composer Claude Larson (aka Klaus Netzle, who is credited on Scorpion).
According to Keyboard Kid, neither he nor Lil B received any credit for a song that was “recreated.”
When a user asked if he’d been paid or received credit, Keyboard Kid tweeted, “Nah they basically emulated recreated me and B whole song..i didnt see us credited for anything..”
Still, Keyboard Kid did mention he was flattered by the idea of possibly inspiring No I.D. musically.
“It’s Crazy Cuz No I.D. A Legend ..So To Kno I Inspired Something Like That Is Dope -Keyboard,” he wrote.
Lil B didn’t address the accusations, but did spread positivity on Twitter.
Listen to both songs below.

Throw in Playboi Cardi ….and Young Thug flow as well….they weren’t credited
He not they didn’t create shit. All he did was slow it down a bit and throw a snare on it, all no ID was slow it down, throw some bass on it with a snare. He talking like he really sat down and created something original. On top of that it was destroyed it with a wack ass rapper.
Considering that the Track is a sample and not an original beat KeyboardKid needs to sit his ass down because nobody copied him at all. This iz hip hop and some times songs get sampled more then once example: Joe Budden i wanna know, Fat Joe all i Need and Freddie Gibbs Shame all is different producers and the same sample.. Quit hatin on drizzy!
GOAT period no haterz allowed ! He jacking beats he stealing flows blah blah blah. Get your own music up oh wait that will never happen.
Lil B is a multi millionaire. HE did it all independently. He also gives lectures at Berkeley, Harvard. What is your Gaynadian ass doing other than working at Subway? It is the same beat. I don’t even like Lil B BTW. At least he writes his own shit.
Lil B is one of the worst to do it.
Drake made Scorpion for men who spend more time on Instagram than women do.
Haha. Selfie Kings
Yes they stole it
Narcicissm at its finest, haha. You didn’t create shit.
Wait a minute! The Gaynadian child actor that uses U.S. slang, raps with a Jamaican accent, pays Americans to write his shit… you’re trying to tell me that same guy had his hand in stealing a style from someone? Hahahahaha. Obvious ripoff.
Candy pens are so trash dont let these HHDX paid shills try to fool you
Fuck both these bitches. Neither can even spell talent in English or French Canadian.
My honest opinion of Scorpion: The world did not need another soggy Drake album, but you know what here, heres fuccin 2 more soggy azz Drake albums straight outta his pink glittered Diary.
They are not creative they always bittin off of somebody who’s trying to come up but don’t have a big platform like OVO…. So when OVO do it it’s the best thing when in actuality it’s been done before…..
Nas stole my beat for “All Eyez on Me” for “Street Dreams”, so I feel this dude’s pain.
Which was a sample as well, dummy.
This is nothing new Drake is always biting someone style or beat
And yo moms is ALWAYS nibbling on some C.O.C.K.
I hate to be siding with Drake…. cause I hate Drake. But this is horse shit. You can’t lay claim on someone else’s beat just because they used the same fucking sample. This is a weird elitist white A&R guy approach to Hip Hop/Rap. It’s not about who used the sample first. It’s about who flipped it better. So… fucking suck it up buttercup.
The sampling is lazy so there’s not much to talk about here. Ultimately they used different drum sounds so it is a different piece – not by much but enough to influence vocal delivery. If the first guy rapping on the Drake cut sounded like Lil B and started rapping slow like he was on LSD then I would say yeah… maybe he’s got a point. But same sample doesn’t equal stolen or jacked beat/song. If anyone should be mad it’s Klaus Weinerschnitzel or whatever the fuck his name is because two morons destroyed his song now. But I guess he made his money ..
Lazy sampling is lazy (which unfortunately often is the case in hh)
Classified just put out a video for the song “Fallen”. Let your readers no about that instead.
– Classified
Fake news…..
Using the same sample ain’t “recreating your beat”…..this shit is laughable.
Plus NO Ids version sounds 10xs better
“Rap is an art, you cant own no loop.” Guru
Producers and rappers are lazy as fuck. They don’t play any instruments so they steal shit from older, more talented musicians who actually play music. So fuck Lil B, Drake and their corny producers. Come up with your own rhythms and melodies. No wonder the original artists love suing the shit out of y’all.
The Lil B song is wack. Using same sample isn’t stealing a beat, samples are open game and neither version is very creative…not a fan of Drake but these producers are trying to ride his wave
What? Drake stealing… nooooooo
U got it twisted, its literally not a sample but the whole beat they took and switched up. Dickriding is not a form of transportation.
Fuck HHDX community ?
