One of the cool things I’ve noticed Drake likes to do is reference other tracks of his, make connections. Like for instance, the thread between the first three tracks of FATD:
Virginia Beach: “That n**** spent his last check on your car and you got it and drove it to me”
Amen: “Red Merces with the red seats”, “She praying asking god for a sign, I just went and paid her car note”, Mercedes Benz in Beaumont outro
Calling For You: “Put a college b**** in a Benz, put her in the Benz, no note”
the different perspectives on the same event has a similar feeling to how DOOM references himself in Fancy Clown, where Viktor Vaughn (DOOM’s alter ego) is mad at DOOM for sleeping with his girl.
you guys ever find any other times where Drake references other songs or makes connections between them?
Yooo been meaning to make this exact thread.
I'm not even Christian, I still went to church that year
Guess I just had to pretend that year
I ain't even see my friends that year
Places that I should've been
Spend a year in Brampton with my girl just cuddling up
Until one of my guys hit my phone like you want it or what?
Pretty sure this is about the same girl/situation
