In an interview with AllHipHop, Drake was asked about that overused punchline flow that everyone seems to be using these days.
AHH: How much do Young Money artists bounce off each other? I noticed you have similar inflections and cadences or rhyme patterns. I noticed this one thing that Nicki said, �It�s going down. Basement.�
Drake:
Drake On the Abused Punchline Flow | 2dopeboyz
Drake:
Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, �I shut �em down. Onyx.� I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like�I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West�s G.O.O.D. Music). That�s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I�ll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don�t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on �Forever.� Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They�re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don�t want to offend somebody�I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] �It�s a parade! MACY�S!�
