Ya know the intro on “Pound Cake” of the late Jimmy Smith talking? Apparently, that part was sampled illegally. Now, Drake’s being sued by Jimmy’s estate for 300k, which is basically what Drake spends on a night at a strip club.

EXP Award for Best Instrumental: TIE Between “Pound Cake”, “Tom Ford”, & “Nosetalgia”
All of the other awards had definitive winners, but on this one, I really couldn’t pick just one.
“Pound Cake”, produced by Boi-1da, is heavenly. It’s so laid back and chill, has that singing in the background, and the Wu-Tang sample. Shit is great.
Timbaland been making bangers for Jay Z for years.The beat is the only reason I like “Tom Ford”. The video game samples and the energy just make this beat really fun to listen to.
“Nosetalgia”‘s beat, produced by Nottz, is raw as fuck. It’s gritty and has those electric guitar riffs that took this track to a whole ‘nother level of dopeness.
All three are extremely well-constructed beats.
