I check my local streaming service *weekly* to see if Kendrick Lamar’s 6:16 in LA because sometimes it appears as a bootleg under another artist’s name, but most often it’s just not streamable which sucks for me personally because it’s the prettiest diss track and the soaring instrumental makes me feel like I can climb mountains. I heard that Al Green wouldn’t clear the sample because he used to work with Drake’s father, or something, and I would really really really like if the reverend would let me add it to my Beef playlist.

One more to add: Sugar High from Empire Records but with Renee Zellweger’s vocals! The Coyote Shivers song is streaming minus Renee which is a goddam crime. Someone on YouTube made a mix of the one true version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCDV_XsXeig
