Jumbotron Shit Poppin

Drake & Lil Yachty Reference Track Situation Leads To Heated Legacy Debate

by

Drake is someone who has had to deal with ghostwriting discourse for the last decade. Overall, this is all because of Meek Mill, who exposed him for using writers on If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. Of course, this is a big no-no in hip-hop. MCs take a lot of pride in their bars, and finding out that the megastar had some help made some people turn on him. Or, at least, it had people contemplating whether or not Drake had a GOAT case. However, in recent years, fans have come to terms with the fact that even the best rappers have writers who will help them with hooks and melodies, here and there.

Amid his feud with Kendrick Lamar, a reference track from Lil Yachty began surfacing online yesterday. This reference track was for the song “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” off of Her Loss. Essentially, Yachty did the entire track, and Drake just sang it word for word, with the same melody. Although Drake has written for countless artists, including Kanye West, fans still felt like this was some sort of betrayal. While ghostwriters help, fans felt it was weird that Drizzy was just taking an entire song and not changing it up whatsoever.

Drake Debates Rage On

Once again, this isn’t necessarily uncommon. Regardless, it still led to a huge legacy debate. On The Neighborhood Talk, you can see a plethora of tweets from fans who are split on what the reference track truly means. Some think it is totally normal and that Drizzy is still one of the greats. Meanwhile, others believe this completely disqualifies him from further GOAT discussions. It is a tired debate, albeit one that will continue to draw attention for quite some time.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this reference track actually affects Drake’s legacy in any tangible way?

Drake dished out a new visual for a fan-favorite Her Loss, capturing a glimpse into his luxe life. He parties overseas; drives Ferraris, and posts in front of mansions. Drake is out here living his best life and what we deem luxurious is basically an average day for him.

The real flexes in the “Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin” music video are the rare items that he flaunts throughout the song. Though Drake’s known to have an impressive collection of jewelry, he pulls out $3.3M worth of chains previously owned by Pharrell, per AllHipHop.

If you recall, Skateboard P’s Jacob & Co. collection went up for auction on Joopiter including a 14K three-tone N.E.R.D pendant ($2,184,000), a white gold brain pendant ($725,000), and the skateboard pendant ($103,750). Drake didn’t verbally confirm his purchase but he made it clear that they’re in his possession in the new music video. He also flaunted two other chains from P’s collection, the Brain Pendant Chain and the BBC Pendant in yellow gold. Both were sold for $150K.

In addition to the influx of chains that he’s rocking in the video, Drake also flexes a gold PSP.

Drake’s ‘Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin’ Video Features Mike Tyson, $3 Million Worth Of Pharrell’s Jewelry, And A Gold PSP

Drake is wealthy, and if that wasn’t obvious based just on his long-running musical success, he takes every opportunity to show it off, whether he’s sharing big bets or buying an amusement park. Now, his new video for Her Loss highlight “Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin” is more of the same.

The video is presented as a slice-of-life look into three days of Drake’s life. Well, it looks like he packed a lot into those 72 hours. Perhaps most notably, he took time to show off a ton of jewelry. HipHopDX notes that some of the wares come from an online auction Pharrell hosted last October, in which he sold off his personal jewelry and other items. Spotted in the Drake video were “a 14K three-tone N.E.R.D pendant chain ($2,184,000), a white gold brain pendant chain ($725,000) and a skateboard pendant chain ($103,750),” and the publication estimates Drake flexed about $3.3 million worth of Pharrell’s old jewelry overall.

Elsewhere in the video, we get appearances from Mike Tyson, Lil Baby, and French Montana. Drake also nods to the gamers watching by prominently showing off a golden Sony PSP (that handheld video game console from the 2000s, in case you forgot) at multiple points.
