You’ll hear it now and go, ‘Oh, that does sound really good, I get that.’” Rosenberg also pointed out that Drake was never credited on the production credits of the album. “They didn’t credit him, they said they like forgot. They left him off, he doesn’t have a writing credit, interesting timing to forget the writing credit.”
