This kind of self-congratulatory bravado with barely concealed insecurity is classic Drake, which makes the song a classic for the fans who resonate with his typical, garnished but unoriginal flow. "Imagine me rapping 'bout if I never made it," he says … effectively rapping about how it would be if he never made it. Drake's verse is the rap equivalent of his Architectural Digest tour - full of lavish status symbols but, ultimately, empty. It has one or two lines that stand out for their timeliness (cue the "practicing social distance from all these snitches" Instagram captions). The song is easy listening, with a beat that samples the 2010 song "Pressure" by Quadron.



The latest from the duo has the cadence of a song from Drake's Views, but was produced by Ross's label Maybach Music Group with the signature " Maybach Music'' vocal tag that was ubiquitous in the early 2010s.
