Overview
- On the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Method Man said Drake sent the song to Wu-Tang Clan before its 2013 release and invited them to appear, but they declined.
- Method Man praised Drake’s artistry yet said he didn’t like the record and questioned why it carried the group’s name from their 1997 album.
- He stressed the decision was not about disrespect, with U-God previously noting a subject-matter mismatch for the proposed remix.
- The track samples Wu-Tang’s “It’s Yourz,” which itself draws from T La Rock & DJ Jazzy Jay’s 1984 single “It’s Yours,” complicating perceptions of tribute.
- Inspectah Deck previously said a remix with Wu-Tang was discussed and verses were recorded, and the released song later peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.
